Nothing DOone Vet About Appeal for Teachers to
 Work in War Plants

This is exactly the reverse of the problem in the past. For years there have been more applicants than jobs.
 As far as is known, nothing has yet been done here in connection with the appeal for teachers to work summers in war plants. The state teachers organization is plan- ming a survey of communities to be made in cooperation with local teaching organizations. such as the Naugatuck Teachers League. This is expected to disclose how many will be available for such work.
 Superintendent Chittenden will submit his financial report at the meeting.
