HEARING IIEID
FRIDAY NIOIT
IN WESTI’ORT
Voters Will Have Needs of
Athletic Field Explained
--Town’s Share of Pur-
chase $11,500.
A hearing will be held Frldl!
evening concerning the proposed
sihletic field in the rear of the Bed-
iord Junior high school. Questions
and decisions will be made for and
Walnut the project. The field is to
cover an area from the new iunioi‘
high to Riverside avenue in length
and from the high school to Burr
avenue in width. The field will con-
tain places fo all kinds of athletico.
from football to skating.
The main part will be converted
into an oval 429 feet long. the out-
side of which is to be used for s
quarter mile track. In the lush!
there are two baseball diamonds.
and three pits. one for high jump-
ing. another for the breed Jump and -
the last for pole vaulting. In the
winter this oval will be boarded up
and flooded to provide an ice skat-
ing rink fit for the best of compe-
tition. On the outskirts are to be
six tennis courts and one volley ball
court.
A path through the middle of the
field will connect the Staples high
school and the Bedford Junior~ high
school. for the convenience of the
teachers who have to go back and
forth between the institutions. A
clubhouse is planned for one corner
of the field. for showers and rest
. rpms for the ladies and men who
use the field. The lower end is to
be converted into a beautiful park.
benches distributed and trees plant-
ed to make it one of the prettiest
town greens in Connecticut.
This field is open to all citizens
of the tawn of Westport and their
guests. It is within easy walking
distance of the town and situated on
the bus line to the beach. The ap-
proximate cost is estimated to be
around 826.000. of which E. '1‘. Bed-
ford the well-known philanthropist
is to contribute through the Y. M. C.
A.. the sum of 311.500. The trust-
ees of organizations actively inter-
ested in the field will donate $3.-
500. '
O O O
The town's share of the cost will
be only $11,500 and this amount
may be spread over a period of five
years. In .this way the funds may
be raised without the necessity of
raising the taxes of the town. The
‘ Y. M. C. A. will give the services of
its physical director for the purpose
of supervising the field during the
summer months. During the school
year. a physical director of the
schools will be in charge.

TesDrlnking Among
Americans Increasing,
Say Those in Business
Tea drinking as everyone knows is
becoming more than a. fad in this
country. America is gradually be-
coming like England and Austraha a
"nation of tea drinkers." Here in
America we drank more tea in 1925
and paid more for it. than ever be-
fore, and yet. we are behind Eng-
land. Australia and Canada. This is
not surprising when we consider
that Englishmen have been noted as
tea drinkers for generations. and it
is natural for them to sail for a cup
of tea at all hours of the day, pre-
ferring it to all other forms of re-
freshment. The same is true to an
almost equal degree in Canada. and
Australia.
The question may well be asked.
notwithstanding these facts. how it
is that America. is so slow in acquir.
ing the tea habit. and the answer is
difllcult to find. One plausible rea-
son is a lack of education in regard
to the beneficial effects of tea. upon
the system. and the erroneous re-
ports circulated that tea has an in-
jurious effect upon the nerves.
Nothing could be further from the
fact. for tea, if taken in moderation.
serves not only as a tonic. but it
has a stimulative and bracing effect
upon the whole nervous organiza-
tion. Moreover. it is unlike other
stimulants in that following its use
there are no bad cflects or depress-
ing influences. ‘
Primarily. of course, it is essential
that we have good tea. and in order
to be sure of getting this, it is al-
ways well to secure package rather
than bulk tea. However good the
bulk tea may have been at the source
of supply. it becomes contaminated
by exposure to and contact with
odortferoua.products. In the case
of Salada. which is a standard pack-
age tea. the product is not only
guaranteed positively pure. when
blended. but its'puldty is maintained
in air-tight packages all the way
from the warehouse to the consum-
er. ‘
