CONVERSION COSTS
 ASTONISHINGLY HIGH

Besides these, the navy is plan ming to acquire and convert more vessels. It is quicker and less cost ly at present to buy vessels already built and convert them to naval uses. Even so, the costs run aston ishingly high. A group of ships recently was purchased at cost of $55, ,920,181, but before they could be made ready for the navy there were the following additional charges: Repairs, $13,050,000; conversion to naval needs, $36, 100000; equipment, $15, 5,741,819 ordnance, $28,O88, ,O00.
 The well-known passenger liner George Washington is good exam pie. It was turned over to the navy without cost by the Maritime Com mission. But repairs cost $2,500, GOO; conversion, $500,000; equipment, $800,000; armament $500, 900. So that to fit this vessal to be a transport cost $4,600, 900.

SUMMER SESSION
 OPENS AT STORRS
Enrolment in U. of Con= necticut Courses High-
 est in Years

Storrs, Conn, July 1-Enrollment tor the University of Connecticut Summer Session which opened at Storrs yesterday was the highest in the Swear history of the summer program, Dr. S. Willard Price, direc- tor, said today. Registration was completed on the opening day of the session, with classes starting in the afternoon.
 The seminar method of instruc- tion, used on small scale last year, is emphasized in this summers program. These courses are mainly for teachers, and planned to ob- tain maximum attention to individ- ual problems. A seminar on secon- diary education, previously an- nounced, bring to Storrs eight of the leading secondary school ad- ministrators in the state for suc- cessive lectures.
 A seminar in educational tests and measureents and curriculum laboratory are devised for teaches, administrators and supervisor seeking assistance In these fields.
 There is a special seminar for teachers of the social sciences and another for teachers of English. French teachers will have the fa- cilitieS of the French House, where ordinary conversation is in French.
 A new member of the faculty this summer is pr. Carl w. Maddocks, superintendent of schools in Mill ford, who will give two courses for teachers who wish to preparqe for adinistative positions. The courses are administration of the elementary school and supervision of the le- mentary school.
 Dr. Price said today that a num- Der. of people have asked and re- ceived permission to audit summer session courses, without credit. Some of them, he said, are merely making Storrs the headquarters for a sumner vacation and enrolling as auditors in the summer courses with the privilege of attending such classes as they choose. They pay the same fees as students, but are not required to do the work in class.

Mines. Lyme will probably remain in the outlaw class until they build better roads into his region.
 MT. Green says he will not send his children to Poverty Avenue School. This new educational fa- cility is short windows and long headed folk on the building con- mittee, such as Carlton Tyler, are reportedly concerned over the lack of ventilation. J. Edward Coer III, our first selectman and an- other member of the school build ing facility, has arranged for ex- tra parking space against the day when this building will have an auditorium and room for enter tainments. We left of the au- ditorium to save money.
 If we had an auditorium, and if we could find Miss Lord, we might stage some revival meet ings at the Poverty Avenue School. Revivals seem to be the only hope in this incorporate valley.
 The trailer has gone from Sand Corner but we have another one down beside the river where the swimming hole used to be before a tenant shut it of. That Sand Corner trailer was located just right. The view was ideal, the traffic limited and the chances for a fine deer steak could hardly have been better than at that To- cation. Maybe another transient will make a pitch there, or we might see a building going up there one day.
 On Registration Day, July 1st, Lloyd Fowler will again sign up the young men who are not too old for military service. Make arrange ments to visit the Town Hall in South Britain that day and see rural manhood in all its strength turn out for patriotic tabuIating.

Marcy Berger, Woodbury farmer, is enthusiastic over this new setup that replaces the old Producer Dealer combination. Election of officers will be by mail, another innovation that saves gasoline and cats down costs. Liberty will get a run for its money. Milk will boil again, if you build 8 fire under it. Let's elect John Ludorf and Ray Ober- stadt from this valley. Both of these men are independent and can talk on their feet, if not ruled "Out of order" for too radical ut- terance.
 When Poverty Avenue School opens next fall, this township will have only the hollow shells of formerly active educational insti- tutions scattered around the countryside. Four of these school houses retained their traditional identity as one-roomers until the last. South Britain School, made famous by Henry Garfield; Pierce Hollow, moved by state employees to Pine Tree; Southford, in the former domain of Diamond Match John B. King; and Purchase School, front-paged when pupils got sumach poisoning from smoke from wood furnished by the first selectmen are the schools that never were enlarged or improved.

 NUMBER OF AUXILIARIES IS CONSTANTLY GROWING
 When an American battle fleet Is on practice cruise, the pace is often leisurely, being keyed to the speed of the slower vessels.
 In war time, if the scouts of a battle fleet give notice that an ene- my is near, the order is given for full speed ahead. Then the auxiliar- ies are dropped behind. Being al- most unarmed, they would be an easy target for an enemy and would also only be in the way in case of battle.
 The number of auxiliaries for the fleet is constantly growing, because of the planned growth of the fleet itself. The latest figures on the operating force, planned as of July, 1941, and as of July, 1942, follow:

MAKE MINE LOBSTER
A37l BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

The llordes swarm to the seasnore
 To snatch passing breeze, They leave the sweltering city
 Conducive to the summer snee1e. Far far from the city throng
 They draw up to roadside inn Make mine an order of lobster,
 That goes for me too, says Min. Lobster is as lobster does
 In salad or theH<sidor, Introduced by ration of clans.
 Who could ask for more The lobster houses are flourishing
 All over the map, While the unsuspecting crustacean
 Unknowing slips into the trap. Make mine lobster, say the hungry folks From Connecticut down to Maine, Pick your lobster as you go
 And join in the popular refrain, Make mine an order of lobster,
 On the side schooner of good brew, Let's all go to The Captains Dock
 For an order of lobster stew!
