Long Court Session Hears Four Trials Four trials were lield and
-eight defendants fined a total of 51T4 in Saturday's criminal section of Town Court which lasted nearly fout' hours.
Edward Robert Riollnci, 18, and John Timothy Reed, 16, were found guilty ot carrying burglar tools in a motor vehicle, following trial. Judge James Gai'lland aentenced each defendant to three months, su-spcnded in care of the Probation Officer.
Attorney Milton Harriman, re-pre.senting the accused p a i f, entered a plea ot not guilty to the charges. . . . . . , , . - * . . . j ^ .
•:,.-rOttlcci- WllliamjMi^honey tlrst look the stand'io lesilfy he arrested the two youths at about 2:20 a.m. November 0 neai' an Iniei-section on Route 80. He e.\-plained ho noticed the car stopped at an Intersection and saw It driven out oil the main road. Following the car he motioned lor it to pull over.
Officer Mahoney said that Rio-lino then got out of the car and came over to the cruiser to ask it the officer wanted to see his license. Officer Malioney said he then was suspicious and called for assistance. ,
A search of the car, he said, disclo.sed a compass in the back of the car, a pinch bai', two sticks, two p a i r s of I'ubber gloves. The articles were then submitted in evidence. Officer Mahoney said the RioUno boy admitted putting the pinch bar in the car and said he used it for removing hub caps.
The officer said that when questioned the two claimed they were on their way to Rlolino's houiie in Quinnlplac Avenue and •were talking and missed their turn from route 80. He said that they told him tlie Reed boy finished work at 12 midnight. ' In ci-oss questioning Attorney
Harriman asked if Officer Mahoney had checked the records ot the boys. He asked it they had any records connected with burglary. Prosecutor Charles Cope-land objected.. Defense Counsel said that the Slate has to establish inlent and the court overruled the objection, saying counsel could establish background.
Officer Torello was then called to the stand. He concurred with earlier tesllmony and the state rested Its case.
Attorney Hai'rlnian then called On John Reed who said he and. his companion didn't know the objects were In the car. Edward Rlollno then took the stand. In answer to a question of the l^ro-secution, "What do you do with your time?", he replied, "Nothing."
The Court agreed with Attorney Harriman that it was a serious charge. In its finding the court .said "The Court feels the atate has brought forth to light .clrcum-stances that we want to keep within the jurisdiction of this courl. The officers should be commended for their very thorough investigation." T h e guilty finding was then announced and the suspended sentences Imposed.

Court Dismisses Weapons Charge ^^h^f'Cifar(3li
Fnllui'e of ihc State to produce evidence linking objects found in the automobile of Lawronce Cl-farclll to a crime, resulted Saturday in the dismissal oC charges against the 20-yGai* old North High Street resident.
Cifarelli was arrested in October and was charged with carrying weapons in a motor vehicle. After several continunnces the charges were heard Saturday; by Town Cou'rt Judge James Gart-land who ruled for dismissal on the motion by. defense attorney William Fox Geenly.
In presenting tho State's case Prosecutor Charles Copeland called on Officer William Mahoney iollowing the plea of not guilty entered by Mr, Geenty.
Shortly after-Officer Mahoney took the stand Mr. Geenty started raising a number of objections, testing tho admissability of certain points in Officer Ma-honey's testimony, and the que.s-tions asked by Mr. Copeland. Through his objections Mr. Geenty closed several lincK of questioning to Mr. Copeland by asking for a rigid enforcement of the rules of evidence.-
Questioning of Officer Mahoney disclosed that Mahoney found the Clfai'elll auto on Granniss Street about 7 or 8 o'clock Ocloljer 23, and an inspection of the car turned up several objects offered Jn evidence IJJ* Mr. Concland.
In submitting the objects Mr. Copeland described one as "blackjack-like" which drew the objection of Mr. Geenty that same article could be called an "ornament." Upon ruling of the court upholding the objection, it was called an object.
Following t h e prosccutlon'u questions, Judge Garlland briefly queried {he officer, then Vros* ecutor Copeland told the Court (ho officer was the only f-tale witness, '*We base our case on the presence of tho objects in tho car."
Attorney Geenty then moved for a discharge, contending the state failed to prove its case.
In making the i-ullng Judge Gardand said, "There is no dnuht in the mind of the court that these ohjects are dangerous wcnp-ons, but the court agrees with counsel the stale hasn't proved the objects ^connected with a crime. Much to the regret of the Court it must go along with Counsel, but the court wants it to be known these-objects are dangerous,
"By Grace of God and good counsel . . . with regret . the
crash right outside his court discharges the case."

Football Formal Is Bright Spot Of School Year
One of the brlghtc-s- occasions of the school year Is the Football Formal which closes the season for the team. The grand style of all the beautiful gowns and the bright decorations make the evening a memorable event.
The melodic sound emanating from the Gym was that of Jack L o ng 's orchestra. Artistically draped streamers in the school colors, blue and gold, gave the occasion a festive air.
Thi^ highlight of the evening was the cro\vnlng ot the Queen— Sue Owen. A senior from 209, Sue is a real peppy cheerleader and an active participant In many school activities. She wore a blue tiered net gown and looked most charming when presented a floral crown by Mrs. Alvln Thompson.
At 11:00 the dance ended, but most of the couples then attended a party at the Weeping 'Willows.,
Comet Business Staff Is Given Credit For Work
We're proud of our school paper, "The Comet." Students work many hours collecting and composing information to make it the fine paper It is. But the "unsung, heroes" that actually,do the necessary "leg work" are seldom given tlie credit they dcBervc. Under the guidance ot Mr. Mark Florello, the Business Staff obtains the ads to finance it, do all the publicity work, and then sell the issues to the school body.
Rosemarie Balsomo, Business Manager, and her helpers are the backbone of our news circulation. "Ro" is a senior from homeroom 209. She is very active In extra-curi-iciilar work. The clubs and committees she ha.s joined are too numerous to mention. As s h e says, "I'm. in everything e.^eept. detention hall and the failure list." She ii on the Traffic Squad, Student Council, Future Business Leaders, Varsity Show, Pioneer Business Board, and is Class Historian.
Assisting Rosemarie is Sue De-Plno, a junior from 313. Like ^ R 6 " , Sue Is also In many school activities: The Varsity Show, Art Club, Student Council and Future Business Leaders. Sue is home room treasurer and has worked vv 11 h the Teen Canteen and Freshman Frolic Committees.
Other members of the Business Bo4rd are: Fran Quintan, Nancy Harrington, Mary Ann Nuzzo, Pat Grudzenski, Irene Frlberg, Sue Owen, Francis Scarpace, Kathy Brereton, Joan Scarpace, Pat Lui>oIt, Corrine Fapplano and Jo-Ann Fucel.

Student Tells Of Irish Life Seen On Trip
by Knihl Morgan A few years ago I was forluJiate
enough to accompany my mother on a visit to her native lond. Ireland. I found the Emerald Isle, Willi it-" green hills and Ininioi'tal shamrocks, a simple but beautiful country.
In Dublin, the capital, there nic m n n y magnificent cathedrals, beautiful public bulldlng.s, modern deimrtment stores, and numerous lakes and parks which all add to the beauty of the city.
On our tour through the many lown.«. In Ireland, I discovered that an Irish home, contrary to popular thought, resembles our American homes very closely— even to all the modern conven- • lences. In an Irish home every visitor Is given the warmest welcome, and always there Is a cup of left ready. This Irish hospitality, incidentally, has been admired for many centuries by many different nationalities. .
The styles of the Irish people are similar to those In our country, but there are a few varia-tlon.s. One main difference is the black shawl which completes the attire of the older women.
It wos a wonderful and thrilling experience for me and I shall never forget my trip. Nor will I ever forget my parents who made It all possible.

What l.s this dlscnso'with such a long name and how Is It Im-porlanl? Cystic fibrosis of Iho pancreas (usually known .simply as cystic fibrosis or pancreatic fibrosis) Is a familiar disease of Infancy and childhood. 11 Is char-, aclerl/.cd by a laclc of the pancreatic dlgostlvn Juices and chronic luiiK Infection. First brought to the general attentloii of the medical profession In 1938, It Is now known that It Is. not a rare dlseaso.

The first .evidences usuauy appear in the first year of life. The yoiing Infant develops a chronic cough or the bowel movements are noted to ho abnormally large, frequent, and malodorou.i, Evidences of malnutrition may appear" although the baby or young child usually, has a' voracious appetite. Episodes ot pneumonia or diarrhea Often arise to threaten (he young victim's life, pocaslonally, the flr.st evidence ot the disease is a bowel obstruction shortly offer birth produced by an abnormal consistency of the baby's Intestinal contents, ,
Diagnosis Dlffioull Diagnosis Is often difficult and,
therefore, delayed. The early symptoms are similar to many of the common Illnesses ot childhood Including asthma and whooping cough, It may be some tlmq before it • Is realized that something serious underlies johnny's recurring cough and slow weight gain. Doctors keep this disease constantly in mind In caring for babies and children. The diagnosis, once suspected, Ls confirmed by passing a small

Recently a new diagnostic test has been developed called the .sweat lest. A sample ot the patient's .sweat Is analyzed and Is found to contain an excessive nniount of sodium,, chloride and potassium. This e.xp.lalns the fact that those children frequently .suffer ?rom heat exhaustion In hot weather.

Naturally 11 disease ^sucli as this iH'lngs much hardship. The cystic fllirosls iirograni of the division of crippled children Is planned to offer these Connecticut children mid their families help in solving .some ot the prob-Iciiis Involved. Ususally hospitalization is needed to confirm the dlagno.sls and nt times Is needed for' treatment. I^unds are avoll-able to help with this expense and also for convalescent care If needed; The greatest financial strain Is produced by the c-x-ponso ot the drugs which arc generally prescribed. Some of the more costly of those drugs are available under the stale program. Other services which-arc being provided Include medical consultation, laboratory studies, visiting nurse consultation and medical social service,
A newly-formed parents' group known as the Children's Cystic Fibrosis A.ssocIatIon of Connecticut has been organized. This was the first such group In the coun-li'y. It Is doing much to In-crea.se Interest In the dlseaso among the general public and to obtain other services for the victims ot this 'disease.

ed of white pine. Juniper, Japanese black pine, arborvltae. Ivy, southern magnolia and spruce, decorated with a large variety of cones, acorns, all kinds of berries, silver balls, grapes, apples and gold and silver bells. A Delia Ro-bla wreath was very lovely.
Several Christmas legends were cleverly Illustrated with sprays, candles and angels. All shades and widths of ribbons were used most cffecttvely. The last two arrange-
unusual: the background ot greens a madona with silver leaves and candles, and a tallei-madonna surrounded by angels.
In closing, Mrs. Richards recited "Silent Night," accompanied by Mrs. C. B, Lyon on the piano, on the dim, candle-lit stage. Hostesses were Mrs, C, B. Guernsey, Mrs. William D. PInkham, Mrs. Virgil McNcI), Mrs.' Charles Nettleton, Miss Olive Pratt, Mrs. Roy Parsell, Mrs. Milton Goss, Mrs. F. R. E. Cro-ssley and Mrs. Edward Hartshorne.
Wood ashes have a high potash and lime content which is bene
ficial to plants. Since rains leach the potash in the ashes. It Is best to keep It covered during the winter and apply It to the garden In the Spring.
December's cold, freezing winds usually bring garden chores to a close and thoughts turn to Christmas and gardening Indoors. However, there Is still time, early In the month ,to finish raking up fallen leaves, dead vegetables and other materials for your compost pile. Mat down compost with water and sprinkle a little ground limestone over each six-Inch layer. Put away all tools, making sure that all soil has been removed. Oil or grease metal parts so they will not rust.
Polnsettlas, purchased f o r Christmas gilts, should be handled carefuly after bringing them home from the florist or greenhouse.
The conditions under which they were grown are very different from those In highly heated homes. Leaves may turn yellow and fall after this change of environment occurs because ot a

sudden drop or-rise in tempera-ture, drafts and over - heating. Polnsettlas prefer 60 degrees during the day—slightly lower at night. Likewise, plants flower better If they receive normal daylight to keep them away from artlflcal light to prolong the life ot the blooms.
Trees need attention. Brace or
cable trees with weak crotches and limbs to prevent breakage from winter's snow and strong winds, HeavY - planted trees In exposed places may need guying.
The hardy, easy-to-grow, winter - blooming bulbs do not rc-qiilrc special planting equipment, a greenhouse, or even a "green thumb". With reasonable care, they'll shoot up fast and burst the heart of winter. They make the most delightful gifts of all tor people. who love flowers.

French hyacinths should be planted from October to December. The French exports are delightfully light and airy, however, the appearance of this special now variety Is deceptive. They are hardy, and strong; grow vigorously without coaxing. The narcissus, coladlnus. Star of Bethlehem and glorlosa are all impressive in their beauty.
Flowers which bloom from bulbs are needed in grardens. large and small. But It is, perhaps, in the small. Intimate garden that they most endear themselves to the gardener. There they can be viewed close at hand all during

"So, the next day, I stopped in at the telephone office to see the new colored phones'for myself. And I found they have EIGHT lovely decorator colors to choose from!"

There Is no remaining in state of suspension. You're both gone and coming. Properly planned, al that moment, the weather gels tricky, and weather reporters slip Into high gear.
All during this season's high winds and waters, I've had the impression of listening IQ words about the weather turned out by would-be suspense - thriller writers, and rolling South, I leaned heavily on that hope.
So what if it was grey, overcast, cold and windy? We de-iced the windshield wipers, and fitted ourselves smigsly — to say the least—into the cai-. And wlial It Ihe weather girl predicted sleet, snow and .slipper>' 'roads our first night out? We sat fed and showered and legs' stretched out, at last, on our motel beds in Brnn-dywlne, Md. And she looked so pretty and smiled so comfortingly ns she gave it the old you-just-can't-tell twist.
Sure enough, you couldn't. Bui I could forecast accurately
that one boy was sure to get car sick. Half a dramamlne plus Bee-man's Pepsin Gum fixed thai. (But for future use, does anyone know how much sedative can safely be given p small beagle?)
In exchange, by test, I can vouch for working Ihe reverse of lighting birds nt night to keep them onling. Our parakeet looks no more bewildered Ihnh usual after five dark, covei-ed nigbts with short days thrown In at odd Inlen'als,
So we washed the Ice oft the "windshield the second morning and drove Into the unpredlcted sun rising and beaming kindly upon us the rest ot the way. The weather reports had served to make us grateful ,beam by beam, and made our tired and bombastic arrival look like a miraculous gift from the gods of chance.
• * • * * * It by now, you haven't lost
your battle'With trying to give something worthwhile for Christmas—as long as you are going to spend all that money for something anyway—you might be interested in compromise plan I'm trj'Ing again this year.
It seems to me, people—that wide range of receivers of Christmas gifts—simplify into three classes: those who like something useful; those who use anything likeable; and those you Just can't guess about—or most ot the people most of the time.
No more, can I tit my giflees Into the poor, who need anything, or Ihe rich, who have everything. That was too ea.sy. Everyone kept fumbling In between.
Bishop Hackett Presides Tues. At Monastery Event
The Most Rev. John F . Hackett, D.D., auxiliary bishop of Hartford, will preside at the ceremony of profession of .lolemn vows on Tuesday at the Monas-terj' ot Our Lady of Grace, North Guilford.
The ceremony, which is public, will begin at 10:30 a.m., with high mass celebrated by the Rev. H. Justin McManus, O.P., who will also preach the sermon. Fa ther McManus is chaplain of Al-bertus Magnus College in New Haven and was formerly a member of the retreat band of the Dominican Province of St. Joseph.
With the solemn profession ot Sr. Mary Dolores of the Holy Angels, O.I*., the strictly cloistered Dominican nuns will add to their ranks one more member. The.choral recitation ot these canonical hours, along with perpetual adoration ot the Most Bless-« i Sacrament and the recitation of ihe perpetual rosary, are (he essential work for which t h e church has established this-strict cloister, the only community of women In Connecticut which has solemn vows binding each member to pray the Divine Ottlce in the name of the church.
Sr. Mary Dolores' ot the Holy Angels, who will make the vows, entered the monastery in 1951 from New York City where she had been graduated from St. Brendan's Academy and had studied at Fordham University.
WAMfAOS
Tiien I decided, human nature being what It Is on both sides ot Christmas giving, I'd nllornnle between worthwhile glfls and frivolous gifts, year by year. But that was doomed at Ihe outsel. I should have known I could neither remember or hang on to a last year's Christmas list.
So came the compromise, or double action program.
For oxa}nple, I discover a boy ot ihirleeu on my list and my mind hiimedratcly leaps to high ideas of good books for growing minds, such as "The Conquest ot Man" by Paul Ilerrmnn or Joachim Lethallser's "Worlds Beyond the Horizon." And I think of the 13-year-old face falling when he opens my package In -the high e.vcllement of Christmas morrilng, so I carefully place on top the biggest and most repulsive package ot bubble gum I can buy. Or, for that niece who just ;ilarted liousekeeplng, I'll send the sensible gift: bath towels or nmslln sheets, bul I'll tie It up with Ihe silliest little ceramic or Chi'Istmns tree, decoration I can find.
However, Deai- Santa, if this all seems too Involved when you come lo me, don't worry about the light touches, A practical trip to Bermuda or some hundred shares of old, gill-edge stock will he perfectly all right, thank you.

W e arc u.«lng Ihc figure of 30 mll-iioii.s in our riiscussion.s, as it is soiiornlly believed tha t If t he to tal need exceeds tlmt amount , one of .several fund-s can be tapped for two to throe millions; besides t l ial , between .1 and 5 millions will bo forthcoming In fod-
ernl aid. Of t he 30 million dollar.';,
about half will be needed lo r e pair s ta te-owned roads a n d bridges; the o ther hal t will bo for town roads and bridges, and oilier forms of aid lo t he towns.
The Governor has recommended rais ing the full 30 million by a 10 pei 'cent Increase on alt s t a t e ta.\cs (except t he gasoline t ax ) and by a one cent increase on cigaret tes , for a period of two years . House Republicans do not believe this is necessary and have voted to support the following p rogram:
1. T a k e 15 million dollars from the funds of the highway depa r t ment. Legislators close to the state financial s i tuat ion say t h a t tills can be done wi thout in terfering V'itir the highway projects planned by the d e p a r l m c n t for t he c u r r e n t biennium, 195.^ - 1957.
2. Increase the sales t ax by one cent, for 6 months , which will bring in about 11 million dollar.":. This increase would r u n th rough the first halt of 1956.
3. Increase tlie corpora te busi ness t ax by one-half of one percent, for one year . This will b r ing in about -1 million, and would end Jan . 1, 1956.
4. Ex tend for one yea r the two cent increase in the ga.sollne to-x, voted in the regu la r 1955 session for a two y e a r period only. T h e purpose of this is twofold. F i r s t , It would permi t the Highway Coniniissioner to make his p lans for construct ion, and to' commit niiticipatod revctiues f rom I h e gasoline tax, r a t h e r than operate on a ca-iii basis as at present ; if that revenue is not needed (and Ilou.se leaders do not believe It will be) It will r eve r t lo ihc Highway Fund. Second, the depar tment will never be able to itlnnie failures In completion of project,s to the fact that the legisla ture took some of its funds.
I t is recommended in th^s p r o gram tha t the funds obtained from all four of tlie.'ie sources bo placed in a .separate account to be known as the Flood Recovery Fund, and ^ny money no t expended for this purpose will be made over to the highway' depar tment .
One of the very impor tan t things about this program Is t h a t the two t ax increases come to an end before the next session of the legislature, and the gn.i tax extension ends between sessions. Experience has shown t l i a t a tax which la. in existence when a legislature convenes, is a lmost Invariably continued. The Governor 's 10 p e r c e n t Increase p ro g ram would apply to t he c u r r e n t biennium, and would sti l l bo on the books when the ' 1957 session begin.v. T h e House feels t h a t whatever method may be adopted to ra i se these funds should be a t empora ry measure , adopted while prosper i ty Is wi th us, pu t Into effect a t once, paid for, and put behind us ; no t carried on into the fu ture , for a n y reason whatsoever.
This p rogram I have outl ined is the p rog ram of the Republican House. T h e Democrat ic Sena te is still suppor t ing the Governor 's 10 pe rcen t across- the-board t ax increase tor t he whole 30 million. C:ompromlse is clearly inevi table . I hope tha (Sovernor will agree to taking t he 15 million from the highway funds. As for t he remain ing 15 mill ion which mus t be raised by Increased taxat ion of some sort , w e in t h e House have t a k e n o u r position. We have said what we th ink is the best and fairest w a y for all t he people of Connecticut. I£ the Governor w a n t s to ra ise o the r taxes Instead, or more taxes , the responsibility will be his, and in my opinion, the House cannot s tand in his w a y too long. With the two legislative houses unde r oppo.site political control , compromise between the two prog r a m s is t h e only way. W e have to pass legislation which will t ake care of t he disaster costs. We are in this special session for that purpose. We wan t to

Happy birthday to Mrs. Bernard Bernard in Windsor Dec. 14.

Thig week, one ot our small fry was missing. Sgt. John Mul-lins dispatctied a cruiser promptly but the hoy had already been located over on Third Ave.
More On Japan The Japanese do not have
greeting cards as wc know them, but they do hnve post cards ranging from plain to highly decorated with birds, winter scenes, and many others Including, of course, scenes of the famous Mt. Fuji, tlie sacred mouritaln of Japan. This is the favorite scene In Japan and can be found on everything that might have occasion to be decorated. Post cards are sent as greetings for the New Year and usually ore never delivered before the first of tho year, no matter how early they wore mailed.
For home decorallon/depending upon the financial .situation with llie family, there are several symbols used. Every family has liang-Ing over tho doorway — so as to be seen by passors-by — the
STONY CREEK flt'tkiwr t'huiif^ ItitniB for riilii Colunui to

traditional straw pieces with oranges. Tliese represent offerings. Bamboo Is another decoration frequently seen. Any number of bamboo stalks about five feet high ore lashed together and stand In front of the house. They are cut at the top so as to he razor sharp, looking a little like a picket fence. The other symbol, widely used, are the two pine trees In front of the house. All these are symbols ot congratulation for the fresh, new year.
The ti-adltlonal foods for this occasion are the festive rice cakes and the national wine made from rice, sake. All food Is prepared In advance of the holiday so that the housewife will be free to receive guests on the New Year's day and, In turn, make her calls the second or third day. The men visit the first day and the children spend the day out-of-doors playing shuttlecock with gaily decorated paddles.
It is Imperative that one visit all relatives If possible at thl.s .•season and exchange small gifts. Tlielr gift-glving Is not nearly so lavish as our' Christmas has become. The visiting is more Important. Another "must" is to pay ail debts before the end of the

Installation Of East Haven Democratic Association Officers
'llic problem, Flr.st Seleclman Doniinlck II. Forrara points out. Is primarily that of scliools. He said he [eels the only way to combat the pi'oblcni of tho rapid growth in meeting the demniids of municipal finance Is to attract now Industry.
"We ni'e detinilely working on the problem of Interesting new Industry to move to East Haven'," ho sold, explaining the town Is ideally local cd on the turnpike,, wjth a prospect ot cx-cellwil highway communldallons with other parts of the state; Is on tho main line ol the New Vork, New Haven and Hartford Railroad; has easy' access to the New Haveii Airport without the problem of Netw Haven traffic, and he added, a skilled labor force could be available here.
Selectman Ferrara pointed out It takes all the tax revenue from a substantial homo to support one child In school—and in many cases in new homes here) "We are getting families with more than, one child, even up to five children."
Commenting on the recent New Hnven Chamber of Commerce estimate of East Haven population, the Selectman said, "The town Is growing faster than people realize."

S^vift Change Nothing New To East Haven
A swift change In population is nothing new In East Haven. There have been many notable changes Indicated In the 17 li"ederal census reports on this town since It was taken (roni New Haven and Incorporated In 1785.
•The first census reported 1,-025 persons In this town. Ten years later the tally had dropped by 21 then the count Increased for the nc-xt two census years before falling oft again in 1830.
From 1830 on, the town grew steadily until 1880 when 3,057 persons lived here. In the year following thai census East Haven decided to give away about one third ot Its territory In the Western part of Town to New Haven.
In the exchange the canny iSast Haveners cleared the town's entire Indebtedness, but by shifting the boundary East Haven lost plenty of its population. The, 1890 ceniius recorded 955 persons, a decrease of more than 68 per cent, for the ten year period, and- the smallest, count

In-
ceed the 'gi'aiiual rises In the grand list. Anticipated tax collections In 1950 were $640,179.23 on a grand list of $25,634,100 at a rate ot 25 mills.
In 1954 the anticipated tax revenue had crept up to $1,180,-52-1.99 against a grand list of 533,729,265 at a tax rate of 35 mills. A comparison shows that more than a half million dollars rise In taxes had come about In five years reflected in a larger grand list In addition to an increase of 10 mills in the tax rate.
The net grand list growth Is partly limited because the total tax exemptions also show a sharp Increase tor the five years, demonstrating that many veterans are buying homes and applying for veteran exemptions in property tax assessments.
The 1950 town budget called lor an estimated expenditure of $488,742.65 for schools, whore the 1954 budget estimated a total of $754,888.82. Other town services and expenses also were reflected in the rise. In 1950 the, "others" totaled $335,798.32, building up to $669,633 in the 1954 budget.
Again In the'vicious circle, the "others" of 1954 included about $180,000 to be put toward interest and redemption of debt, much ot which was Incurred In building needed elementary schools.
This leaves less than halt a million dollars tor conducting all the other departments of the town—a town of about 18,000 work of a necessarily light budget other services hove had to be other sei-vlces have had to be expanded with the population.

Beitween 1890 and"1920 East Haven had regained all but a handful of ' ita former population. Then In the ten years be-' tween 1920. and 1930 tho town was In the midst of a roaring boom, building Its population by 122 per cent,,
During the 1930s another 1,200 persons were added to the town census, and in the 1940s the town leaped ahead, again increasing In population by a full one-third.
Now the 1950 boom Is repeating the swltt forward move of the 1920s.

New Haven l^oad Wants To Drop Track Section
Application has been made by the New Haven Railroad to the Interstate Commei'ce Commission for permission to abandon a small section of track al the East Haven - New Haven town line. This segment, which is 1.4 mil-. es In length, was part of the original main line ot the railroad before the building ot the East Haven tunnel in 1883. 11 now Is a dead-end spur running west from the old East Haven station, located between the road's present main line and the East Haven cutoff on Route L
Reason for the abandonment is stated In the petition to be because revenues froni operation of the line are Insutticicnt to cover opei'atlng expenses, maintenance and taxes.
Abandonment ol this track would in no way affect the normal bulk-delivery service which Is available at East Haven, railroad officials said.

He said that even excluding his salary as clerk, the small claims section lost $100 during

It Is required that notice be sent to each defendant In an action by registered mall, return receipt requested.
