 Neighbors found the four bodies when one of them sought to free free the Mansfield cat which was clawing at window. Clark said the Mansfields apparently had been shot Tuesday afternoon.

Educution0I  Plan Viewed
 Proposed Prosrom Would Help Small
 Towns in State

With many Connecticut cIassroorns in the smaller towns still without teachers, while nearby cities are easily filling school positions, an educational lend-lease program could be set up that would not only aid the towns but would benefit the state educational system as a whole, Lyndon U. Pratt, executive secretary of the Connecticut State Teachers association, said today.
 "City boards of education" MT. Pratt continued, "could under such a plan grant leaves of absence to teachers who volunteer for years service in nearby rural schools, pro- vided that the teachers were as- sured of retaining their places in the salary schedule, and seniority, retirement and tenure rights.
 "This plan," the CSTA secretary continued, mot only could help re- lieve the teacher shortage, but would also provide teachers with an opportunity to broaden their experi- ence with a wider variety of subjects and supervision over multiple grades.
 "These teachers would find that small towns have their points, too, and that church suppers and square-sets can be satisfying sub- stitutes for boarding house fare and the symphony. Tn addition, the rural teacher finds opportunities for service to her pupils and to the social and cultural life of the com munity that can place her in a unique and important position there.
 Since variety of experience is always an asset" MT. Pratt contin- ued, large cities could well afford to give these volunteers an in-serv- ice training salary increment to offset in part the difference between a years pay in the city and in the country. Many Connecticut teachers now in service in cities began teaching in rural schools and many would like to do so again, salary permitting.
 With city teachers beginning to return from war service, temporary and substitute teachers, too, might be interested in finding other teach ing positions, the secretary empha- sized. Since gasoline restrictions have been lifted, they are now able to commute to and from their city homes, not only continuing in em- ployment by teaching in the smaller towns, but serving where their spe- cial SkillS are needed most.

NEW YORK, Oct s P-After estab-

highs. cotton futures clumped sharply to-

met Indifferent support.
The decline was attributed largely to

prospect for the Pace bill to boost farm
parity prices.

the 1945 cotton crop as OF October l at
