1t was agreed that as soon as

A formal request will be made
to the board Of education in July
to institute hot lunch programs In
the local schools next year. The
request stems from the practical
experience OF Mrs. Paul Peterson OF
the Bunker Hill Teachers associa-
ton who has conducted such a
program at the latter school and
has proven its success.
1t seems doubtful at this point,
sources stated, that such a pro-

Seems this tiny isle and its 500

one-time Brooklyn bootlegger Of
Italian descent, who'd left the
States during the prohibition era.
Short on fresh water, the islanders
depended upon a supply shipped
regularly from Sicily.

THOMASTON OPERA
HOUSE mot SAFE
Place Not Reasonably Ade-
quate for Public Assem-
lies Opines Hickey

Thomaston, May 5-All prospects
of using the Opera, House In the
town hall building as a recreation
center for young children under the
guidance Of the Parent Teachers
association apparently vanished to-
day as State Fire Marshall Edward
L. Hickey termed the place mot
reasonably safe for public assem-
blage."
The opinion of Marshall Hickey
was contained In q letter received
this morning by First Selectman
E. Richard Kaiser, following an in
Spection of the premises by Deputy
Marshall Frank A. Starkel, Chair
man william J. Moran of the Thorn
aston War Council had previously
requested such an inspection in the
interest Of community safety. Com
missioner Hickey based his cCnclu-
sion on the fact that the space was
exceedingly high from the ground,
the entrance and exits were poorly
designed and not adequate in num-
ber.''
When informed Of the state
marshall's opinion o n e of the
prominent members Of the PTA
stated she personally would not
want to have the recreation center
located in the Opera House under
these conditions.
In the warrant for q special
town meeting called for Monday
night, an article appears for action
in regards to making the Opera
House suitable for a recreation
center. In the light Of Commits
sioner's Hickey's report. it is now
expected that action on the article
will be tabled.
Meanwhile the PTA project
committee that has been working
diligently for many weeks for a
recreation center are still hopeful
Of finding suitable place.
At the same time the towns re-
creational program had been fur
ther developed with the local War
Council joining with the PTA. Mrs.
Marjorie Woodlock, chairman Of the
recreational program Of the State
War Council, conferred yesterday
with Chairman Moran Of the local
Council and Mrs. Spencer Roesing

At this meeting 1t was agreed
that the town viii be best served
