Summer Classes
Close At School
After 6-W'eek Run

For most students in the
Smyrna Special District, school
closed June l3. Not SO for all of
them, however. The district has
this year been operating a sum-
mer school in two fields. Ses-
sions will end this week. Cours-
es lasted for six weeks and
were operated on both element
ary and secondary levels. Re-
medal reading was taught four
classes in the new Smyrna Ele-
mentary School. Classes were
of one hour and half duration
and convened every day. At the
high school building classes in
music instruction were given. In
the course, A. Rodney Daniels,
director of instrumental music,
spent many hours with summer
scholars in a selection of two
part trumpet work. Most class
es in the music department
were private, each student re-
ceiving individual instruction.
Occasionally, as often is the
case, stud is worked to-
gether in special selections of
harmony. Classes lasted one
half hour daily. All instruction
was provided free of charge to
the students of the district. The
aim of the work was two-fold.
First, courses were designed to
provide broader background
in the subject matter; work was
planned with the idea of pre-
pairing boys and girls for the
fall term which will begin in
September.

Little Leaguers
Ousted From PLAY

Smyrna-Clayton's tournament
team was ousted by Middletown
in the first round of their state
Little League playoff game at
Middletown Monday night. Ap-
proXimately 500 fans were on
hand to witness the upstate
team notch an uphill 4-3 vic
tory and gain entry to the semi
finals. Smyrna was unable to
hold a first-inning 80 lead
which it gained on Bill Shock
ley's 2-run single and Dick Tay-
lor's single RBI safety. Middle
town bounced back with two
runs in the second and single
in the third to tie the
score at 3 all. The winning tally
scored in the fifth. Gary Har-
vath started on the hill for
Smyrna, and was relieved by
Wes Conley in the final frame.
Gibby Henry pitched the entire
game for Middletown to gain
credit for the victory. The tri-
Middletown squad will
now oppose Dover to determine
the Southern division champion.

Frear Changes
Plans, Attends
Union Conference

United States Senator ]. AL
len Frear arrived in Rio de jan
eiro last Thursday as a delegate
to the lnter-Parliamentary I'm
ion Conference which opened in
the Brazilian capital July oath.
MIR. Frear's decision to make the
trip represented a last minute
change in plans. Although he
has been a delegate to the
Union for several years, the
Senator had declined participa-
ton in the current conference
because of legislative response
bilities in the Congress. How
ever, he agreed to attend the
meeting at the urgent request
of the White House and the
Senate Democratic leadership
because of his knowledge of
economic issues included on the
conference agenda. Another fac
tor in Mr.. Frear's decision to
attend was the expected pre-
sence of large Russian dele
cation. Since this was the first
meeting of the Union in South
America, it was felt that a re-
preventative delegation from the
United States would be of in
creased importance in debating
conference issues raised by the
participants from the Soviet
Union. One of the major legis-
lative items which Senator
Frear had to leave behind in
Washington was the Reciprocal
Trade Bill which passed the
Senate July %. Mr.. Frear is a
majority conferee on the bill
and will take part with the 9th
er members of a Joint Senate
House conference in working
out the final version of the new
legislation. The Senator's ad-
ministrative assistant said that
the first meeting of the Trade
Bill conferees was delayed un-
til MIR. Frear's return. The Inter-
Parliamentary Union is a legis-
lative assembly which brings to-
gether leading members of con-
gressional and parliamentary
representatives of countries
throughout the world. Senator
Frear has attended similar
meetings in London and in
Bangkok.

Smyrna will receive a total
of $23,284.73 in the distribu-
ton of the Municipal Aid fund
for the present year, according
to figures certified to the State
Treasurer by the State High
way Department for distribu-
ton of the fund this year. Ex-
listing laws provide for the dis
tribution of 100000 in the
Municipal Aid fund annually,
with the distribution based on
population of the municipality,
according to the 1850 census,
and the mileage of streets
maintained by the municipality.
These laws provide for 40 per-
Cent to be distributed on the
basis of population and go per-
cent on the basis of street
maintenance. This year the
fund for population averages
