just sitting around listening to the music and enjoying congenial com panionship. Thus far the mem bers' attendance during the af- ternoons has averaged over 65 and at nights more than 1l0.
 Naturally the Teen-Agers are proud of their fine baseball team. And they feel, too, that they have reason to take pride in their spon- sorship of the successful Fourth of July street dance. This latter ac- tivity is just the first of series of many different opportunities the organization hopes to find in the future to be useful to the con- munty as sort of junior service club.
 Shortly it's planned to begin the publication of a Teen-Age news paper for the membership. It is hoped that within the coming weeks the Club may take over the presentation of an occasional radio show, with the cast composed ex- clusively of Teen-Age girls and fel- lows.
 A particularly gratifying trend during the past week has been the increasing number of parents who have called to visit the club house. It's hoped that all the parents will drop in just as soon as may be convenient for them. They will be warmly welcomed, of course, at any time It is planned that Mothers and Fathers Night will be held at the club house early in August in honor of all the parents.
 For the information of the Teen Ayers and their parents, the regu- lar schedule of the Clubs opera tions is as follows: Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons and night; Friday and Saturday afternoons and nights, and Sunday afternoon. Ordinarily the club house is not open at all on Mondays or Thurs days, the only exception being for an hour after games when the Teen-Age baseball team is playing. The regular afternoon periods run from ? to 5:45 o'clock, and the eve ming periods are from 7:30 to l5 minutes before curfeW.
 The Clubs officers are: Denny Merritt, President; Richard Davis, Vice President; Lois Hared, Secre- tary; and Ann Thompson, Treas urer. The Executive committee is composed of these four together with Mary Avoian, Betty Lou Har- ed, Dorothea Hendrickson, Les Hog ins, Pat Hogue and Joyce Smith.
 zack Gordon, formerly director of the local USO club, is donating his services as director of the Teen Age Club during this summer.

Prize of Newsprint
 May Now Take Hike

NEW YORK, July 8-Newsprint sources here today said the reval- uation of the Canadian dollar made more imminent hike in news print prices generally anticipated at the time of OPA's collapse.
 Uncertainty over price control legislation might act as tempor- ary brake on lifting of prices at this end, they said, but Canadian paper mills might act independent ly.
 Through the raising of the Can- adian dollar to par with the Ameri- can dollar, Canadian mills would lose about s670 ton which they had formerly enjoyed through the premium on exchange.

 Giant Airpor
 A giant municipal airport Is scheduled for construction in Wa terbury with the present site being considered, now just over the line into Waterbury, the greater share of which may eventually be In Wa terbury proper. This construction will cost approximately @ million and will be the most costly of all within the Swear program.
 New playgrounds win be con- structed in the city with concentra- ton on the North and South Ends of the city. Additions will be made to present like facilities and to our public parks.
 A State Trade school will be established in the old Mulcahy school which is now under repair and renovation. Rehabilitation and improvement of present public school buildings will also be under taken.

 New public buildings to be con- structed consist of Memorial audi- torium for veterans of both WoTla Wars; an annex Co the Cieg Han which will likely be in the present Bronson Library building when a new library Is constructed. A pro- posed $500 900 has been estimated as the cost of the proposed auditorium.
 Means of financing these projects as set forth by the city budget direc- tor and city controller are based on the following sound assumptions: l.--no large relief bond issues will be necessary for approximately seven years: 2.-the federal government will render financial assistance; B. the city's Grand List will remain at least at it's present value; 4.-a seg- regation of each years tax levy will be made for addition to the Reserve fund; 5.-the city's water fund will be able to meet the debt service; B. the interest rate on the estimated bond issues will not exceed 3 per- cent; 1.-the so-called second year will be the calendar year l947 or later.

 The citys proposed program has received national and international exclamation. In the words of Mayor Monagan: The plan has been pre- pared because we are interested in the growth and improvement of Wa terbury. It should be empha.

A north and south construc- ton win be undertaken at a later date. New street signs, of metal, will be placed throughout the entire city, also during l946.
 New street lighting win be in- stalled according to recommend ations of the General Electric and Westinghouse Companies surveys. The installation will be in direct relation to recent studies of trafflc volume and accident locations, as we'll,
 The replacement of several bridges and repairs to others will be made. Several small bridges in outlying sections will also be replaced.
 Sewers, etc.
 Great and Little Brooks in Wa terbury will have brook channels constructed about them for purposes of stormwater drainage as well as many other smaller brooks in outly- ing sections. A new sewage disposal and treatment plant will be con- structed as well as the Mad River interceptor. Plans for the treatment plant were approved by the General Assembly and the state authorities. About $230,0O will be expended for construction of sanitary sewers throughout the city. Also to be con- structed will be a new incinerator. The city's water distribution will be assured by numerous needed repairs and installations to the city's reser- voir system.
