Somehow they seemed out of place in Woodbridge.
Many of our subscribers, when mailing in their checks, have taken time to write notes of praise and encouragement for the paper. We wish it were possible to snatch time enough from journalistic duties to acknowledge each letter, but, in spite of all that the government is trying to do, there are still only 24 hours in each day, and very few of these can, at this early stage, be devoted to anything but "getting out the paper." What probably appears to be ordinary discourtesy, therefore, is actually a high grade of discourtesy-for-the-sake-of-serving-those-to-whom-we-are-discourteous.
Our free Skate Exchange (recently christened, by one of our supporters, the "Lonely Hearts Club for Skates") promises to become more active with the return of cold weather. There are still a few pairs of skates unassigned. (See page 6.) If you don't want to buy them, what will you swap?
The Assessor of the City of Hartford announced the other day that, for the first time in the history of its tax records, Hartford has no horses listed. That ought to gladden the hearts of those who are foolish enough to believe that the automobile is here to stay. We are still wondering, however, about those oxen. Can Woodbridge match Bethany's one pair? Or must we go along with those who are foolish enough to believe that the horse is here to stay, and that oxen are doomed? Ox lovers, arise!
As we go to press we are informed that there are actually no oxen in Bethany, after all. It seems that to qualify for oxhood the candidate must be at least four years old. Until that time he remains in the junior division and is classified as a steer. Ralph Downs's are only two year old, so they are steers. Ellie Downs had some two-year-olds, also, but has disposed of them. Bethany now reduces the voltage of the challenge and asks Woodbridge, in a conservative tone of voice, have you any steers?
Series Of Vocational Talks Planned For Community School
Mr. James Warburton, Principal of the Community School, is planning a series of talks during the spring to help the graduating class in choosing high school courses with a view to possible future occupations. When making plans for these talks, the seventh and eighth graders expressed interest in investigating the following fields of work: Dairy Farming, Secretarial work, Dress Designing, Journalism, Medicine, Law, Merchandising, Electrical Work, Hairdressing, Professional Ball-playing, Architecture, Flying, Veterinary Medicine, Civil Engineering, Music, Truck Driving, Mechanics, Carpentry, Cooking, Railroading, and Physical Education. They feel that the most important questions to be answered about any occupation are the type of skill and amount of training required, the routine of an average day, the possibilities for advancement, and the expected salary range.
These talks are scheduled to take place each Friday afternoon. Descriptions of practical training and experience in any of these fields will be of immense value to the children, and Mr. Warburton wishes to urge anyone who can contribute a little time to this important project to get in touch with him either at the school (3-2765) or at his home (3-4556).

cuss their mutual school interests.
This meeting is one of a series instituted this year at the school to enable parents to become better acquainted with their children's teachers and with the work being done in the classrooms. All of the meetings have resulted in a feeling of greater cooperationi and a sense of joint responsibility for the work being done in the school.

NOTICE
Miss Barbara L. Schilf, Bethany Tax Collector, today reminded motor vehicle owners in Bethany that they must pay all local taxes on their vehicles before they can obtain 1951 registrations from the State Department of Motor Vehicles.
Approximately 60 such local owners have failed to pay their current automobile taxes to date, Miss Schilf estimates. She explained that delinquent taxpayers should pay their car taxes as soon as possible in order to obtain their new registration before the February 27 deadline.

TV Newsreel
by David Dean Smith, Jr.
They promise an "exciting new phase" in television drama for 1951. And if it comes to pass there'll be a lot of opportunities for writers of TV originals. We know that a lot of you have good ideas, and would like an opportunity of screening them. As things look now you're going to get your breaks. We have a list of free-lance outlets, which is too long to print here. But we'll be glad to tell you about it, if you drop in to see us. As always, however, in writing anything... you have to know your medium. You have to study what's going on here and now in order to improve and extend. So...if you want to be a television writer...keep a close watch on your Video screen. There's no better class-room for the future...for your future in television.
Television is a complicated thing. It requires skill and technical know-how to make it work to give you the clearest, crispest picture. Now...we suggest that you come in to see the new MAGNAVOX set... which combines all the latest electronics developments. You can't beat it for reception and good looks. Come to DAVID DEAN SMITH, JR., 262 Elm St. Phone: 8-1101.
