S. Gwillim's Father Dies Suddenly—Other News. Miss Tllen Hubbell of Bristol, at present an instructor in the Lakeville schools, has been engaged to succeed Miss 8. Eleanor Pease as teacher in the eighth grads in the Frammar school, according to an announce- ment made today by Rev. R, H. Bur- ton, chairman of the school board. Miss Hubbell will come here highly recommended. She is an experienced teacher and the committee is elated over getting her name to a contract. The new teacher will report for duty next Monday. During the cur- rent wee! Principal O. L. Judd will take charge of the classes in her grade.

The war and overtime in the fac- tories is thought to have been re- sponsible for the failure of many non- English speaking people to enroll.
