75 <br /> hope to increase our supply of strip films. Our movie pro- <br /> jector was not functioning well so it was used for a <br /> trade-in and we are pleased that we have a new efficient <br /> sound projector. The old screen was badly damaged <br /> but through kindness of Mr. Fred Hicks we now have a <br /> fine latest-type beaded screen.

At others outside speakers brought us lessons in <br /> bicycle safety, forest fire dangers, and kindness to ani- <br /> mals. Movies, financed from the Town Recreation Com- <br /> mittee budget, were enjoyed every two weeks from Janu- <br /> ary to June. We wish they could be continued. These <br /> programs were educational pictures, either historical <br /> or travel, and a comedy for fun. <br /> Memorial Day was observed with ceremonies at the <br /> memorial markers in the churchyard. The fifth and <br /> sixth 'grade pupils prepared the ground and planted <br />
