Plainville News STATE TAKES OVER SUNSET ROCK PARK Made Tor National Park (ONE SMITH IS ELECTED! ! No. 83, American Legion, and Co. 1, | Howard S. Smith Heads Parent- Teacher Association—Glass Blow- crs Demonstrate—American Edu- cation Week—Other Items, The second public park within the limits of Plainvilic has been created with the formal transfer of 18 acres of land at Sunset Rock to the State of Connecticut. This land, located in the castern portion of the town, has almost unsurpassed natural beauty, with fields, brooks, thick woods and sharply uplifted cliffs from which a view of the surround- ing country for miles about may be obtained. The place has long been desecrated by careless persons and its beauties threatened with destruc- tion, but its acquisition by the state will result in the safeguarding and perpetuation of them and will permit all the residents of Connecticut to ‘enjoy them. The land has been taken over by the state from two previous owners. The Sunset Rock association, which was organized some years ago to preserve the spot and to turn it into an outdoor recreational center, has deeded the state 13 6-10 acres on the west side of Crooked street and stretching along Indian Trail avenue. The land, together with the build- ings, trees, and flora, and donated “for state park purposes for the perpetual use and enjoyment of the people of Connecticut,” as the deed states. This action was decided upon by the assoclation at a meeting of its directors on August 24 and was car- rled out by its president, William B. Rossberg of New Britain, and its necretary treasurer, B. B. Bassette of the same city. The manufacturing concern of Landers, Frary & Clark has decdvd the other 413 acres to the state. [ts lift is located north of the land pre- sented by the Sunset Rock associa- tion. Until this fall Plainville had no public park other than the small plot of grecnsward at Maple and Whiting streets. Then, through the gift of Charles H. Norton, it ac- {quired the huge tract in the south- western part of the town which is Veing developed with possibilities unexcelled anywhere in the tate, The création of a state park in the | eastern section, in addition to Mr. | Norton's gift. turns Plainville from one of the least equipped towns, as far as parks go, to onc of the most favored in the state. Smith Is President Governor Alfred E. Smith's hopes States were vain, but one Smith achicved election to a presidency when Howard 8. Smith of Farming- fon avenue was chosen to head the Plainville Parent-Teacher association at its annual meeting last night in the high school auditorium. Mr. Smith succeeds Mrs. H. S. Wash- {burn, who was elected last fall as the first president of the association. Other officers for the coming year are the follow! Vice president, | Mrs. Harold L.

Staples gave the administration’s | views on the question, defending the experiment. Several parents spoke, some in favor and others opposed. The picture for the best represen- tation of parents of the pupils in ny one room went to the Grade §-A ‘room of Miss Gertrude Tupper. Glass Blowers Demonstrate The Venetian Glass Blowers dem- onstrated their skill this morning at a special asembly of the high school { pupils in the school auditorium. Mr. | Burke and Mrs. Cross did numerous Iseemingly impossible feats with [their glass to the great delight of the students. They blew a vase {rom a glass tube, made a magni ing glass and a meerschaum pipe, and crowned their performance by blowing a standard of silver-fused glass and drawing out the ends into 1he masts and rigging of a ship. They had with them some fine-spun glass which seemed more like hair, and this was examined with wonder by the pupils. The proceeds of the demonstration were turned into the school athletic fund.
