Woodbridge Park Tour Enjoyed By Enthusiastic Group On Sunday
About fifteen persons joined Newton H. Street on Sunday afternoon for a walk through the Alice Newton Street Memorial Park in Woodbridge, with Mr. Street, donor of the area, as guide. Weather conditions were ideal, with brilliant sunshine and crisp air, and newly-fallen snow blanketed the woodland.
The tour, sponsored by the Woodbridge Men's Club, began at the Park entrance, near the Center, and proceeded by way of the so-called "Blue Trail" in a northwesterly direction to the boundary of the Stoddard property, completing the circuit via the "North End" and "East Side" Trails.
This Memorial Park was begun in 1928, when Mr. Street gave 82 acres of forest land north of the Town Hall as a memorial to his mother. Later on the entrance from Meeting House Lane was improved through the donation of 2 1/2 acres by Chester C. Hitchcock and a half-acre by the Ecclesiastical Society. Mrs. Howard E. Adt gave a bronze tablet, which is set in a boulder at the entrance, and the Woodbridge Garden Club has been active in developing the natural beauty of the area.
The Park is maintained under the supervision of the Woodbridge Park Association, Inc., which was formed in 1928 by Herbert H. Tomlinson, Clifford I. Stoddard, Clarence F. Baldwin, and Clayton S. Squires. The present officers of the Association are: President, Warren Doolittle; Vice-President, Otto Schulz; Secretary and Treasurer, Marion Hotchkiss; Directors, Carl Clark, Theodore Clark, Marion Downey, Chester Hitchcock, Edwin Meiss, Frank Mitchell, John Morse, Mary Russell, Ruth Stephenson, Clifford Stoddard, and Newton Street.
Any resident of Woodbridge, or anyone owning property in the Town, is eligible for membership in the Association.

leauge lead. The evening's highlight was the Airport's 2 to 1 win over Andersons, a tight match right up to the last box, when Clyde Hicks (314) pulled a spare in the overtime to tip the balance. Bill Evers's high-game score of 145 was a deciding factor in the Grange victory over the Firemen -- in 1 game, at least. The other two went to the smoke-eaters. The Garage found a 354 by Bob Claus useful in suqsing the Church, which had the spiritual help of a 332 chalked up by Warren Downs. This was another 2 to 1 match. The only clean sweep of the evening was the 3 to 0 trouncing given by the Drillers to the Landowners. Driller H. Simpson accounted for 355, which was partially offset by Owner Bunton's 341.
The Bethany Basketball team won a hard contest from the New Haven Methodists, 32 to 26, on Tuesday evening, in the Troup Junior High School gym. Scoring was led by MacDonald, with 12 points, with Simpson, Giblin, Johnson, and Winter following in that order.
