FOUR TOWN''
Bv ROWLAND BISHOP

Connecticut has 6 national repu- tstion of being the proud possessor of the most efficient State Police force in the country. OUR TOWN is continually proud that the local Eastern Connecticut Barracks are in OUR BOROUGH .. But we are equally proud of OUR TOWNS POLICE FORGE! Yep, and the Borough Police under Cap'n Bern ard Chapman is sure a credit to the community He's got an enterprising bunch of boys, the Cap'n has Yesiree! Guess in the last month many heart went pit-a-pat when one of our handsome boys in uniform ap- preached (AND WE ARE STRICTLY NOT SPEAKING OF ROMANCE) :. for THE BOYS MADE A REPUTATION FOR THEMSELVES FOR PASSING OUT MORE TICKETS IN AUGUST THAN IN ANY OTHER ONE MONTH IN THE YEAR! But don't be alarmed, folks, THESE WERE TICKETS FOR THE FIRST ANNUAL BALL of the PATROL MEMS BENEVOLENT ASSOCIA- TON of Groton and If the ticket drive fell short of it's mark of making every citizen in town the PROUD POSSESSOR OF A TICKET, 1t wasn't any fault of the Force! know that when one of the Force approached a certain member of our staff and said, I've got a ticket for YOU!" the relief in knowing it was for innocent fun instead of a weekly session with Judge Reynolds, prompted the re-

lieved fellow into this remark, "One ticket, heck, I'll take ten!' Without mediums power we can't tell you now who won the door prize but we can tell you that the owner manager of the Hotel GriS- wold, Morton Mencher, purchased the first $50 worth of tickets and donated the Griswold Ball Room for the event Oh, yes, neigh bors and the Patrolmen's Benev- olent Association wish to state that when you invested your dough in that ball ticket, it wasn't just for that night but for the future of the CHILDREN IN GROTON :. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE FUND IS TO COMBAT JUVENILE DELINQUENCY THROUGH THE ARRANGEMENT OF ENTERTAIN- MENT AND DIVERSIONS WHICH WILL KEEP THE TOWNS YOUTH OFF STREET CORNERS WHERE MOST TROUBLE SEEMS TO FOMENT!
 It is very gratifying to see the LIONS CLUB is taking a deep and sincere interest in OUR TOWNS FUTURE PROGRESS. Lieut.. Mackenzie of the State Police is their presiding officer, and he has set up active and willing commit tees who are dedicated to BRAND NEW PROGRAM OF PUTTING GROTON ON THE MAP. The Groton Lions feel that it is high time Groton was put on the map for the OUTSIDE WORLD" t. The Lions are roaring angrily over New London's stealing of Groton's THUNDER.

Since and including then the
Theater Guild has presented the
Lunts in Is plays, ranging from the
serious to the ridiculous. The hus-

tame has appeared in two without
her husband: O'Neill's Strange In

Their current co-starring vehicle

Ann will play the piano, sing, and
do a spot of acting.
Jimmy Stewart tells me at RKC
that his next picture will be west

Kathryn Grayson and Johnnie
Johnston will both be on the air
