Oat’s Ludlow Farm in . North Stoning- ton, on Wednesday, will go down in the annuls of the local Rotary.club as the banner day of the summer season. The day was perfoct for such an outing and practically every member of the club took advantage of the opportunity to get away from the sweltering heat of the city and gpend ‘a few hours in the cool- ing breeze that swept over the plo- turesque hills of North Stonington. The Rotarians to the number of 50, with \several guests, left the' Wauregah ' house at 11.15 o'clock by automobiles, ar- riving at Ludlow just before noon where the host had an appetizing luncheon ready to serve. The luncheen menu was: Clam Chowder Crackers Salads Pickles Sandwiches ‘Watermelon Lemonada Ginger Ale Cigars and Cigarettes Ths business meeting was by Presideni Lucius Brgsgs matters of a routine nature were dis- cussed. Rotarian William G. Park who recently retuned from the international convention at Edinburgh, was present and when asked for a report stated that he would yresent a complete report at the next meeting. Robert L. Briggs. who is visiting his brother, Lucius Briggs, conducted and only iing was unbeatable. AT LUDLOW FA was one of the guests,.

In this contest James L. Crawford and 'Frederick S. Crowell featured for the winners while Alfred G.| Bliven and J. Nelson Weymouth fea- tured for the losers. This match, while not as serious or spectacular as the in- tercity match furnished a large amount of_sport for the players as well as the gallery that followed them. Later in the afternoon refreshments of sandwiches and' delicious ice cold milk was served. The Rotarians returned to Norwich later in the afternoon after a wonderful day spent in the open. MEREDITH SEES IMPORTANT YEAR IN STATE SCHOOLS The opening of the mext school year will mark ths beginning of several im- portant changes in Connecticut public schools. Commissioner Meredith of tha state board of education said this week. At the last session of the legislature thirty- ht bills approved by education them are considered of far reaching sig- nificance. Physical education will become a reg- ular feature in the schools and all tne schools In the state will be expected to devote two and one-half hours a week to work of this kind. Commissioner Mer- edith sald that exercises, calisthenics and organized games and sports will be considered as physical education. How- ever, except in the cases of large oty schools already having physical direc- tors, it is not intended that schools shall have to employ special instructors. The recess time, honored feature of school life, may almost become » thing of the past, for Commissioner Meredith said that many schools Wii. undoubtedly follow the two and one-half hour a week rule by giving a half hour in the middle of each morning to exer- es and organized sports or games, and cut the period for recess to 5 or 10 minutes. He believes that the idea of having a regular period of the school day devoted to games and setting up exer- cises will find general favor with the children. Up to the present the Norwich school hoard has not taken any action along the line of modifying the long recess, Judge < secretary of the board said Wedngsday, but probably will take the matter under consideration. The next year will be the last during which teachers will ‘be certified ‘to teach in Connecticut schools wilhout giving adequate pToof of their ability for be- ginning with July, 1922, each noav teach- er must come up to specified require- ments. Separate classes of certificates will be issued to teachers In’elementary to high school teachers and t» ors, while special certific:q s will be granted to physical instructors, or teachers in specialty courses. All teacn- ers at nresent active will not be bed by the new system, for they will be recognized “in the future as entitled to teach in the class of work in which they are now engaged. Another innovation next vear, and Com missioner Meredith believes the children will not object is an extension of the school yvear by two weeks. In other wotds, the vacatio perind in the summer wiil be- shorter by two weeks and school will probably “let out” in future years just before July 1, instead of in the mid- dle of June as heretofore. This is another matter upon which the Norwich school board has taken no, ac- tion but this will probably be another matter for their consideration. The state board also plans to prepare a system of standard education require- ments for use throughout the state, but owing to the lack of appropriation last vear this work cannot probably be cai< ried on until the next legislature allows an appropriation. All in all Commission- er Meredith believes the coming year a most important one in the school history of the state. MAKING IMPROVEMENTS IN APPEARANCE OF CEMETERIES The committee on public works, Gilbert S. Raymond, Joon S. Blackmar and Ed- gar B. Worthington, is making a determ- ined effort to improve the appearance of all the cemeteries of the city. Bach of the four cemeteries, Yantic, Oak street, Hickory street and Hamiiton Ave. cem- eteries have been inspected, and many im- provements suggested. So far as it can be down with the funds that dre now avalable the sunken graves are to L. leveled up. Broken fences are to be re- moved, roofs repaired on the tool houses, ete. Superintendent Henry C. Lane is tak- ing special interest in the work and is having the borders trimmed, driveways and paths cleaned up, with the intention of keeping them in gocd condition at all times. All persons who are interested im Pots in any of these cemeteries are requested to deposit trust funds with the city treas- urer, the interest of same to be used in the care of their lots perpetually. Per- sons who do this will thus insure the perpetual care of their lots. The public works committee is mak- ing the announcement that from August 1 to Nov. 1 the office at Yantic cemetery will be open from 2 to 4 p. m. daily, in- cluding Sunday. The office will be closed at other times but Superintendent Lane will be in the cemetery ready to do bus- iness during regular hours on week- days. A NORWICH FAMILY NEEDS BUREAU OR CHEST OF DEAWERS The City Mission branch of the United Workers is very mueca interested in a family of twelve, father and mother and ten children under seventeen. Th: father and oldest boy are the only wage earners in the family and they are hav- ing a hard time to get along. They are anxious to make their few rooms as fhemelike and comfortable as possible and the city mission is trying to help them. To keep anything like order in cramp- ed quarters is difficult and nothing would ' assist more than a good sized bu- reau or chest of drawers. If any one has such an article to donate and will either telephone the City Mission (879) or drop a postal to 9 Wasnington street the message will be gratefully Treceived. Four of the five young trees on the parklet at Falls avenue, near the Cen- tral Vermont station, have grown well this season. FORECASTING REAPPEARANCE OF THE NICKEL CIGA The most widely quoted: statement ever made by former Vice President Marsnin in regard to the meeds of the nation is “What the United States needs most is. a ‘good five: cent’ cigar.” Now his statement is sald to be in a fair way to be fulfilled. ‘Leading cigar manufacturers throughout 'the country are planning to put on”the market five- eent brands, and according to cigar men the 1920 crop is quietly but steadily be- ing bought up by the manufacturers for that end. The purchase of the last year's crop in large quantities -irrespective of the quality of the dleaf would indicate that' the manufacturers are planning to restore . the good old five cent cigar to a public weary of the more expensive brands. - The vice president's prophetic words have been. taken seriously by the manufacturers even' if ‘they were ot meant to be So taken when they were uttered..Already the retail stores around the country have several brands of cheap cigars on the market and report.that their ssle increases daily. One dealer ‘asserted that the reappearance of the nickel stogie was indicative of the whale trend ov tobacco prices. The manufacturers must yield in the public demand. Already there has been a material reduction in the price of cigarettes, -especially in the cheaper makes and it looks as'if the bottom of - cigarette prices has by no means been reached, he declared. To keep pace with the reduction of cigarettes “there must be a correspond- ing reduction in+the price of cigars. If the Fordney tariff is passed however, it is extremely doubtful if the prices of the higher ‘grade - brands of cigars can .be reduced'..In . reference to the higher rate of duty the United Stafes Tobacco Journal declares ‘editorially: “The retailer not being -able th absorb this additional cost (due to the tax) will®inevitably ralse the price of cigark to meet it. The smoker; disappointed in not . being . . able. . to buy. cigars mor. cheaply will probably react by taking to another form of $mpking materials. That -the reaction _ will result in an enormous increase in the - number of five cent cizars, . there is no doubt among dealers. Manufacturers are oblig* ed to meet the demand—and the demand just now seems to be for the stogie or the oid days, despised by the feminine portion of the average business man. INCOME TAX INCREASE !
