ton of the portion of Sligo Valley
Park north of the Parkside School

ton of demountable units for ex-

sion for the use of the park site for

thority announced last week it will

ings can be conveniently and eco
nomically' placed on each side of
the road.
Water is available in the i'm
mediate vicinity and a main inter-
ceptor sewer already traverses this
section OF the park, the commits
sioners pointed out. They added
that electricity and telephone serv-
ice have already been extended to
this location.
County Public Utility Agent AL
bert E. Brault was requested to
seek public transportation to and
from the site. If such service can
not be obtained the commissioners
said they would attempt to fur
nish transportation facilities them
selves.

to administer the veterans hous-
ing program and to cooperate with
the FPHA in the erection and
maintenance of the units.
Road Program Approved.

 As I said before it was a very gay affair-let's have more of them.
 I also attended the dance given by the P. T's. That was another nice affair.

Well, Whaddya Know?
By Armond s. Greene

I certainly have something to sing about this week. I really brought in a winner for the Bud dies Club Dance held at the Stan ley Golf Course, the holiday eve. It was one of the gayest affairs that I have seen yet. If it had
 been held a little later in the sea- son, I could have said it was a midsummer nights dream" All
 of Hartford's social crowd was there. Two photographers were all
 so on the scene, but it turned out that no one wanted to be in the limelight. Everyone said they would be satisfied if their names were mentioned in this column. I will be unable to give everybody's name but will hit here and there on the highlights. Among those attending were: MT. and Mrs. Wimfoish. Mrs. Wimbish was at tired in very lovely aquamarine gown. MT. and Mrs. Albert James. A black lace gown trimmed in white was Mrs. James, gown, which made her look very sophis- ticated. MT. and Mrs. Colby Knight. Mrs. Knight looked very stunning in a black gown with a lowered motif.
 And as I went on all around the hall speaking to this person and that, all I needed was a mike and national hook-up. You know what, I think I'll women are love ly creatures. I'm telling you, I was really in good mood that night-the atmosphere was really "out of this world, ,"-the music was divine-and everything was really on some solid time.
 I was sitting out in the lounge when MT. and Mrs. Lloyd Cord well came in. Mrs. Cordwell looked like a dream girl, or should I say, one of those pin-uppers in a white satin bouquet gown. MT. and Mrs. G. Clifford Jackson also put in their appearance looking all sharp and stuff.
 At the press table the guests were: MT. and Mrs. Linford Ro- man, Mrs. Annie Greene, Miss Rose Williams and Miss Georgi- anna Baker.
 In the debutante corner, I saw Madeline, Anne and Irene Stone, Betty Wilson, Gwendolyn Williams, Loverne Moreland, Doris Foster, Annie Davis, Jean Dixon, Dorothy Davis, Janet Worrell, Betty Sims, md a host of others too numerous to mention.

TIMES EDITORIAL. MASTERFUL

On Saturday June 1, the Hart ford Times, local daily newspaper, published an editorial entitled SWAT THE xxx"
 Many of the Times editorials show a definite liberal trend. None in the last several years have ever been exactly non-liberal, but re- gently the trend has grown more and more along the lines of a true, democratic, American model paper.
 The aforementioned editorial ex- pressed the following statement: "Who would think that soon after a global war, in which men of ev- cry race, creed and color fought to preserve the United States, there could be revived a degenerate se- cret body pledged to prejudice against and hatred of Catholics, Jews and Negroes?
 "It is testimony to the immatu- rity as we'll as the ill-will of a large number of persons that the Klan can be reborn. But if it's evil head shows prominently again, good citizens will join in chasing it out of the pastures. America has made advances toward under standing, welcome advances, since the Klan last defiled the night air in this country. It will not be tol- erated again, no matter how dili- gently it's promoters may strive"
