Crowds Of splendidly bedecked
young ladies and warm clear spring

a memorable, though still subdued
holiday.
Finery was the keynote every
where as couples and family parties
attended church services or strolled
along the city's main streets. Num-
erous army, navy, and marine uni
forms, as well as q, Sprinkling Of
uniforms Of Allied nations again
held the spotlight this year.

from various churches in the city

Bristol, April 10-Harry D. vii.
Hanson, Torestville school principal
against whom the $9,140 judgment
was upheld last month by the SUI
preme court Of errors, twice pre-
viously attempted to resign his posi-
ton before he took the final action
reported Saturday, 1t was revealed
Sunday by School Superintendent
Karl A. Reiche.
Mr.. Williamson 9lrst submitted q
letter Of resignation to Superin-
tendent Reiche dated March IL, six
days after the supreme court up.
held the superior court verdict
making the award to Donald Cal
way who, the decision held, was
injured when the principal sat and
kneeled on him during the course
Of disciplinary action when the
boy was 10 years old and third
grade pupil.
On receipt Of the March IA letter,
the superintendent said, he called
Mr.. Williamson to his once, ex-
planned that the board Of education
had voted to reafi1rn Its support Of
him and pointed out that his many
friends in the community stood be-
hind him 100 per cent. Following
the talk the principal agreed to
forget the matter, he added. The
letter Of resignation Is still on file
in the superintendent ONCE, how
ever.
Last Wednesday, Superintendent
Reiche continued, Mr.. Williamson
again submitted his resignation In
writing, which he handed to Mr..
Reiche In his ONCE. The school
head said he again persuaded the
principal, who has a teaching rec
ord Of 20 years and received q SAL
airy Of about 5000, to reconsider and
next Wednesday was agreed upon
for another conference.
The following day, however. Mr..
Williamson again appeared at the
superintendent ONCE, verbally re-
signed and handed in the keys to
his school, according to Mr.. Reiche.
This was not made public until sat-
urday. Mr.. Reiche said that at that
he was convinced that the princi-
pals action which he said, came as
a great surprise" to him, In view
Of the previous days conference,
was final. He added that he would
try to get In touch with Mr.. VIII
hanson today but he said he un-
derstood that he and his family
were visiting his sister In New Lon

Reasons for the resignation given
by Mr.. Williamson, according to Su-'
perintendent Reiche, were the Ill
health Of both he and his wife. He
said he was mentally unstrung and
needed a rest. There was no Discus
sion Of a possible leave Of absence,
Mr.. Reiche said.
The board Of education met last
Wednesday night, between the We'd

Jesus set.
From all the city's churches, Holy
Week eliminated with services Of
traditional music and pageantry
and prayers for world peace. Affairs
in churches throughout the city
were banked with Easter flowers
and clergymen delivered messages
on the significance Of Easter as a
symbol of hope Of the Christian sea-
son.
Travel over the holiday was sur
prisingly moderate although num-
erous servicemen arrived on Easter
furlOugh or left to return to camps
and ports.
The mercury rose to SO degrees In
mid-afternoon, two degrees below
the years high Of 70 on Saturday,
causing most paraders to shed top
coats. Golfers launched the season
on the green's which club officials
pronounced as ideal. More than
200 golfers attended the municipal
course on East Mountain, while IS
to IS players were at the Country
Club Of Waterbury and the Chase
Country Club.
Wartime prosperity was reflected
in the reports Of local dealers who
reported almost unprecedented pre-
Easter sales. Florists in particular,
who have been deluged with orders
from servicemen and last minute
shoppers, found their shelves bare
this morning. Only dealers In men
suits found business not quite up to
expectations as many men put off
buying new clothes until draft Of.
ficials make up their minds.
Mite boxes and Easter banks were
collected In the schools Of many
Protestant churches, and an annual
Easter collection In the Catholic
churches Of Hartford diocese will
aid in the support Of diocesan char
tiles.

 During the past two years the city's welfare department has op- erated on almost a peacetime bad- get level This was done in event Of a sudden termination of the war so that the department would be fully prepared to cope with any increase in aid resulting from unemployment, etc. This latter department dur- ing this current year Is operating on budget of s2s3.70e.
 Considerable maintenance and re- pair work n0w being undertaken by the school department and being partly financed from other budget items will result in a possible in- crease for next year.
 However. in the event of the wars close such activities as civilian de- fense and the guard and protective system of the cityls waterways which nov are maintained by respective budget appropriations of s30.O00 and ea3 500, win be abolished.
 Such projects as a new sewage disposal plant and the like wlll per- haps not be materially inaugurated next year although in the event of the wars close. some preliminary work may be begun.

 As a result. the remnan s of their forces in France lack adequate equipment and manp0Ner for any, thing like Q determined stand.
