Everyone is cordially invited to at
tend.
Our operetta for this year is en-
titled, AT the End of the Santa
Claus Trail. Two children, Jim

is no Santa Claus, so they start
out to find him. They are helped
along by the snowman Wayne

WabasSo, the White Rabbit, Dick
Burroughs, and ChriStmastide
Mary Lou Belville, until they reach
King Winters Palace. Here they
are told that the quickest way to
find something is not to look for
it. So they hasten home only to
find Santa in their own backyard.
The operetta is very colorful
and also has many solo parts sung
by the following pupils: Jimmy
Ballard, Catherine II miIto n,
Wayne Wood, Ray Huey, Mary
Lou Belville, Bobby Coder, May

however, we will do our best to en-.
tertain you.
The operetta is under the direc,
ton of Rodney R. Warrick, Mrs. D
L. Gabriel and Mrs. Mackan, oul

Urge Vets To Renew
 nSuronce

Hartford, Dec. i7 - Connecticut veterans, who have allowed their converted National Service Life rn- surance policies to lapse, have only until December 3i, l046 in which to reinstate their lapsed insurance without c physical examination, James M. Quinn, director of the Con- necticut Veterans Unemployment and Advisory Commission, warned today.
 All that is required up to December 3l, io46 is a signed statement that the veteran is in as good health as when he allowed his insurance to lapse, plus a remittance of two months premiums at the same rate he paid while in service.
 Recent amendments permit pay ment of insurance in lump sum, with few restrictions as to benefi- ciaries. Endowment policies are also provided and total disability cover age can be had at a very reasonable rate.
 Veterans who have allowed their converted NS.L.1. insurance to lapse are urged to visit the Veterans Ad- miniStration, local Veterans Advisory Service Centers or write to the Con- necticut Veterans Unemployment and Advisory Commission, State Armory, Hartford for further in- formation regarding the reinstate- rnent of NSLI. insurance or for as- sistance in reinstating the policies.
