Hard- ing was paid yesterday afternoon at & o'clock on the town lot at the corner of Maple and Whiting street, when throngs of residents of the town gathered in silent prayer for the chief executive. Eyes were dimmed with tears as speaker eulogized the presi- dent,testifying to the high regard in which he was held by people of all races and creeds in the nation. e Senator John Trumbull, who at- telided the exercises in Washington as a member of the governor's staff from Connecticut, described in a touching manner the scenes enacted in the na- tion's capital as the body of the pres- ident was borne away to its final rest- ing place in Marion, O. He described the trip to Alaska, the last which Mr. Harding made and familiarly spoke of the places visited. Senator Trumbull has passed over the same route a few years ago. He told of the great crowds which swarmed through the streets viewing the funeral cortege. Rev. John E. Iay, pastor of the church of Our Lady of Mercy, spoke of the respect and love with which the nation's people looked on their presi- dent. He said that although his poli- cies always .did not coincide with many, still his sincerity and love for his fellow men won him the admira- tion of mankind. Rev.

Miss Griswold Surprised Miss Mary Griswold, the new super- intendent of schools, was pleasantly surprised Thursday evening at her home on Worthington Ridge by a party of about 60 people. The gathering was composed of members of the committee which circulated the petition favoring "her appointment and other guests who had worked in the interests of the committee. " 'The party began at about 9 o'clock and ended at 12:30. In the course of the evening punch and cake were served and at 11:30 o'clock a buffet supper was given the guests. The feature of the evening’'s enter- tainment was the opera singing of Mrs. Marja Jugo, a recent arrival in town, who came to this country from Cuba. Mrs. Jugo rendered several selections in Spanish, Italian and French from some of the world's best known operas. Her singing was highly praised. Mrs. Edward Lardner of Kensing- ton also favored with several selec- tions in Italian and English. These were well received.

According to information received this morning it is understood that A. A. North, chairman of the school board, will not seek election to the board after he finishes out his term this fall. It is not as yet known whether or not the other members of the board will again seek election.

Steps will be taken to campaign for a woman to take the position, as the women feel that they should be represented. Is Accomplished Singer Mrs. Maria Jugo, who entertained at the party given Miss Mary Gris- valuable acquisition to the town. Mrs. Jugo is an accomplished opera singer and has taken part in many operas in Cuba. " She has personality and has al- ready taken her place among the peo- ple of Kensington, where she lives. Her husband is foreign export man- ager of the American Hardware Cor- poration, it is understood.
