Drastic changes have been an.

Plate to all 3-year -olds foaled in

Since the first running Of the

train outside Canada. Under the
new rules owners can bring their
hcrses to the United States prior
to the running, although they must
not participate in any raccc.
Acting on complaints of horsemen
that many 3-year-olds are at dis

the 1le mile plate distance without
a tightener. the directors shifted
the classic from the first day of the

TOWN MANAGER SEEKING
 ADDITIONAL BUS SERVICE

Town Manager John P. Ramsey is, negotiating with the Connecti- cut Company for an extension ot bus service in Bloomfield.
 His proposal suggests that the Bloomfield Avenue bus line be ex- tended east on Park Avenue to the corner of Prospect Street, along Prospect Street to Cottage Grove Road and back to Bloomfield Avenue. He is requesting this ser vice be given at least once an hour in the early morning and evening periods and less frequent ly during the day.
 MT. Ramsey also proposes that the Blue Hills Avenue bus line loop west on Park Avenue to Tyler Street, then south on Tyler to Cottage Grove and back to Blue Hills Avenue. He suggests also that they turn through School Street on alternate trips.
 This service, MT. Ramsey points out. would mean that the bus would pass 22 streets on which there are over 300 homes and on which live some 800 war workers.
 In his communication to the Connecticut Company, the Town Manager stresses the need of this additional service to war workers, stating that last winter many per sons remained away from work be- cause they had to founder thronoh rain and deep snow to distant bus lines which operated only on Blue Hills and Bloomfield Avenues. In many cases, he states, many women at night refused to continue their valuable war work because they feared to travel alone over dark and lonely roads to and from bus lines.
