COUNCIL MAY ACT
ON BUS REQUEST

At the regular meeting Of the
City Council next week it is ex-
pected that action will be taken on
a request from the SafewaJ Tran
sit company to operate its East
Wilmington buses over Goth and
Perry streets instead of the
present 18th and Market street
routes.
In announcing receipt OF the re-
q est Monday morning, City Man
ager A. C. Nichols said citizens who
either oppose or favor the change
are invited to appear before the
council at the time the matter is
discussed.
Although no definite reasons for
the proposed change were advanc-
ed, Mr. Nichols said the company
probably preferred the goth and
Perry street route because the
buses would encounter less traffic
along it and also would avoid a
stop light.
The city manager said he had
not been informed of any action
by the Safeway company on a re-
quest of a number of residents
of Grace street, who asked at
last weeks council meeting that
the city board help them regain
the services of bus formerly
routed down Grace street ana re.
Gently changed over 70 Princess
street. Edgar Vow, attorney for
the bus company, told the delega.
ton that a careful study of all
angles of the matter was being
made and that some action would
be taken within the near future.

Fitch Alumni Meet May IF; Next Meet ing to Be Held June IA at the School

The alumni of Robert E. Fitch High School in Groton met last Thursday, May IT, for the first time since 1889.
 There were 32 members present, representing classes of 1881, 1882, 1883, 1884 1886, 1889, 1941, 1942, 1943 and 1914. The meeting, pre- sided over by Joseph Rinoski of the class of '33, proved successful, de- spite the fact that very small percentage of the alumni was pres ent. One of the reasons for the small attendance was that many of the alumni did not receive notice of the meeting, due to changes in addresses, etc.
 Many ideas and suggestions were made as to how to revive the or ganization, which has never been very active, despite the untiring ef forts of MT. Rinoski.
 Plans were made to have an in. formal get-together at the next meeting which will be held on Thursday, June IA at 8 o'clock at the school, at which time officers will be elected and bylaws will be drawn up. It was suggested that dancing be held at this meeting, and Natalie Co.lington Donath, class of '33, was chosen as chair man of a committee to make ar- r ngementS for an orchestra.
 It was also suggested that re- treatments be served, and Wilbur Anderson, class of '39, and James D. Cunningham, class of '33, were selected as the committee in charge
 MT. Rinoski asked that all alum nj present contact as many alumni as possible so that a favorable turn out may be expected at the next meeting.
