Commissioner Bennett said yester-
day that there might be some slight
(xlcnsions to the federal] aid high-
way system in Ccnnecticut. but prob-
ally only minor projects compared
with thos1 enumerated. The state
an the fodcml government diwde
the cast of federal aid roads.
It was report‘ ('1 to the convention
by Commissioner Bennett that a
‘lcensus of truck traffic in Connecticut
has shown that 73 per cent, of the
commodities carried by motor trucks
in this state were manufactured pro-
ducts, and about 20 per cent.. were
products of animals. revealing the in—
dustrial character of the state.
These facts wtre brought out in
a. meeting of a sub-committee on
standards whose object was to make
recommendations looking to a stand-
ardization of highways to withstand
all kinds of traffic. Commissioner
Bonn-it was a member of this sub-
committee and also of the committees
cu motor vehicles and regulation and
trafllc control and safety. He was
the chairman of the last mentioned
Committee. Deputy Highway Com-
missioner Richard L Saunders of

HILLSIDE TO GIVE rrs
ANNUAL cmumIAs PLAYS
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Norwalk has come to consider the
annual Christmas. plays at Hillside as
a. specially noteworthy event of the
Christmas season. The plays have
been given for a number of years as a
part of the Christmas party prepared
by the school for their child friends in
the Fairfleld County Home.
This year. unfortunately. the chil-
dren of the Home will be unable to be
present at the entertainment, as they
are at present kept indoors by an epi-
demic of measles. As the epidemic is
likely to continue for a considerable
time, the Hillside plays will not be
postponed. but will be given on the
date set. Saturday. December 16th.
Tickets will be sold for the benefit of
the Maryville College scholarship. It
is hoped that a. large audience will en-
joy the program.
The opening number is a production
of ,“Bed Riding Ho’od." which is to be
given by the children in the lower
school. This will be followed by the
annual nativity play. which has been
put into such beautiful form by Miss
Florence Converse. The beautiful
story of the first Christmas is told
through the Shepherds and the Wise
Men. the Ox and the the Raven.
