NEWS NOTES
By Harriet Davis

The past holiday was observed rather quietly in New Haven, con- sidering that it was the nations first past war Fourth of July. The majority of diversion seekers ga- thered around bathing beaches, picnic grounds and amusement centers.
 Despite the fact that fireworks were restricted, the spasmodic sounds here and there of cannon crackers made one think of times in the past when noisy fourths were in order.
 *******
 The Musicians Club was filled to capacity in the evening despite the fact that two of it's featured artists, Al Simmons, guitarist, and Wesley Bats, bass player, were filling an engagement in Water bury with Couthan Little. How ever, excellent music was enjoyed. 'Red Fox" New York comedian, currently the featured attraction at Cheshire Country Club, was the star of the evening, and his per formance was really enjoyed.
 *******
 Out of town guests who seemed to really enjoy the show were: Alma Baxter, Katherine Sylvia, Mary Lou Williams Victoria To- bo and Larry Pima of Ansonia, and Josephine Jones, Ardell Stephens and Mildred Samuel of Bridge port.
