There is great activity these days on the Thames Street river front, between 105-107 Thames Street. Joan DeNoia, the boating enthusi- ast, is constructing a one hundred and twenty-five foot pier. This pier will be twenty feet deep and will be able to accommodate an eight-five footer for loading, un- loading or servicing.
 John Is building this pier with the thought in back of his mind of going in for commerce at a later date, and to expedite this he Is also constructing forty-foot finger pier that will jut out towards the Thames River channel, 300 feet away, on the Groton side of the river.
 The need of a pier of this type for pleasure and smaller craft is a crying need in the New London Groton Harbor, and one that has been sharnefully neglected by our town and city officials. It appar- ently takes the impetus of private enterprise to waken these officials to both their duty, and great op- portunity to increase the efficacy as well as the material value of the best harbor on the Atlantic Coast"
 As a real boon to the Yachtsmen, John is installing a Marine Rail- way, that will cut through the main pier and can be used to haul boats up to drydock for servicing.
 Groton officials could take les son from this enterprising mer- chants actions and get off their seats of pondering and do some- thing for the benefit of the town and town merchants by building a pier at the old ferry slip. Coastal merchant men could bring a good deal of their supply orders into our

town to be filled if GrotOn had a pier for them to tie up to, so that they could refuel and restock their stores.
 MT. John DeNoia has been grad- ually gathering supplies for his venture for the past three years, and is much to be commended for attempting to build up our fair community and develop it's vast resources,
 There Is a stir of greater activ- ity amongst our eating spots in Groton. The much heralded sum- mer trade of the first Peace season will soon be here and these places will be on dress parade. Beef will be plentiful, we hear, throughout the summer season, as the cattle raisers are slaughtering cattle be" fore they suffer reverses from the sharp cut in food for livestock. Even the livestock suffers from malnutrition-and that's NO BULL
 Groton is glad to welcome home, Alexander Kamin, hero of World War II, who has associated himself with the Groton Motor Company as their Chief Salesman.
 Good luck, Aleck, and we know it's going to be easy to whip up sales talk when all the Groton Mo- tor Company cars are serviced by that maestro, Cliff Trask. .. Aleck Kamin, Groton Motor Company chief salesman, by the way, was one of the first American boys to land in Australia, and if this modest Groton lad would only talk could probably give mighty fine eye witness picture of the Pacific Theatre of War operations.

 There are a few points we would like to bring out in answer to a letter concerning the E. B. Girls Bowling League which appeared in the April, 18th issue of The Sub.
 In the first place, the Interested Reader should get the straight and true facts before bringing any per- sons name unjustly before the pub lie. We are speaking to defend Steve Tuneski who had no connec- ton with the awarding of the prizes for bowling, and further more, had no part at all in the prep aration of our banquet. He has been just an innocent by-stander who is interested in sports.
 We also know the true meaning of sportsmanship and don't for one minute think that Miss Rincicotti knows what a good sport is. We feel sure that she was justly re- warded for her victory and received full recognition of her glory. She was given credit for high average high single, and high three in the form of one very beautiful prize. There is such thing as being pig gish and wanting everything! Of course, we could have bought her three cheap prizes, but we thought we would combine them and buy her something really nice, which fact, we know now, wasn't ap- preciated at all. However, at any rate, that's the way it is, and she'll just have to be satisfied. It's all over now, and we wish that if any one has anything more to say he or she will contact the Committee. We hope that the Interested Reader will be courteous enough and decent enough to make an apology to Steve Tuneski for the false statements made in the letter referred to above.
 Tn the very familiar words of Grantland Rice, which portray evactly what we are driving at and which should be printed in brigh! letters and hung where Miss Rinci- cotti may view it every minute of the day.
 And when the one great SCORER Comes to mark against your name He marks not that you won or lost But how you played the game.''

A.. E. Rogers, deputy manager
OF ITALIAN Hall, asked the city
to renew the five-year lease on the
Hall now held by ITALIAN associa-
ton. Under the provisions in the
new lease proposals by the asso-
citation, so percent of the gross
receipts of the Hall would be
turned into improvements of the

so utilized would be turned back
to the city treasury. Account books
of the Hall, Rogers said, would al
all times be open for inspection by
city officials. The other so percent
of receipts would go to the asso.
citation for expenses in connection
with the operation of the Hall.
Sidewalk Objection
! Burgwin objected to construction
of sidewalks on 18th street, be-
tween Princess and Chestnut
streets, because he said only two
residences fronted on 18th street
in that area and the proportionate
cost to the two property owners
would be too great.

meeting of the enlarged City coun'

Payment of 10 days pay and

the case of Fireman R. B. Lane,
suspended in November, was Or

Service commission, it was brought
out, failed to uphold the suspen-

The Lane matter brought rec
ommendation from Councilman
Harriss Newman that the council
together with department heads
establish set policy for the whole
issue of suspensions. He asked thai
the data be compiled and ready
for consideration at the next meet
ing of the council.
City Manager Nichols reported
that bids on new sanitation equip

satisfaction of his office. He ex-
planned further investigation into
the equipment offered was being
made. He asked that the matter
be held over until the next meeting.
Councilman Wade asked that full
consideration be given before the
