"They are the largest and fanciest of all and many were worn on opera Miss Pascoe explained. 'Memory Strings' While discussing the collection, Mrs.

Newberry drew attention to the button "memory strings" of her mother's day. As many as 1.000 buttons were strung together, each button a gift from a friend and no two alike, and that she said "is where a lot of our beautiful Connecticut buttons went." Mrs. Newberry described a Connecticut state library collection of "memory string" buttons she hebed "card." The collection was made by Connecticut businessman, John H. Tingue, who in 1883 offered a prize of 550 to each young lady who would send him a string of 2,500 buttons, all with shanks, and no two alike. He spent 54,000 and acquired 90,000 buttons which can be seen by appointment at the state library, she said.

Besides the state library collection, both ladies agreed the Sally Lewis House in South-ington "was another good place to visit, if you like buttons." For those visiting the Ware house Point Library, exhibit "some may get all stirred-up and decide to become button collectors too," said Miss Pascoe. Checks-Savings-Loans. Windsor Bank, South -Advt. 35 Hear WINDSOR LOCKS town's Community Development Action Plan report was well received and prompted no controversy among residents at the public hearing to discuss the report Tuesday night. Some 35 residents attended- the hearing on the report which is the product of two years study by members of the CDAP Agency and volunteer citizen committees.

The report contains 115 recommendations for the future de velopment of the town which have been broken down into "high priority," "procedural and minimal cost" and "future legacy" categories. While action on the "high priority" recommendations is suggested for the near future, the remaining recommendations are proposed to be carried out over an extended period of time. The list of recommendations, as presented to th hearing by agency chairman Joel Levin drew little comment from residents at the session. The few items questioned included those recommendations covering the proposed redevelopment of the Elm Plains residential section of town; acquisition of a new police emergency vehicle; the construction of higher priced housing; and the construction of an alternate line to the town's main power supply line. High Priority The proposed redevelopment of the Elm Plains residential area is included in the report as a high priority recommendation under both the economic development and housing listings in the CDAP report.

As an economic development measure the report recommends that Elm Plains be redeveloped with federally subsidized low and moderate income housing to at least replace existing units. As a housing recommendation, the report states the area should be redeveloped with publicly assisted low income housing and the remainder of the land preserved as open space.

SHUNPIKE LUMBER COMPANY By DOREEN MANNING EAST WINDSOR Buttons of all sizes, shapes and kinds and who has these Miss Irene Pascoe has turned her 30-year search for buttons into a collection, on exhibit at the Warehouse Point Library Meeting Room. Born hi 1890 and an East Windsor resident whose family has lived here since the 1700's, Irene Pascoe tells the story of her buttons with charm and gusto. "My Mack glass buttons were noDular durine old Oueen Victo- ria-s day like tnem most. jt look at those designs," she says, She was quick to tell an exhibit visitor that one of her greatest pleasures in her hobby "has always been the friends I've made collecting buttons." One such friend, Mrs. Fred Newberry, was with Miss Pascoe on Monday, sharing the opening of the month-long exhibition which can be seen Monday through Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m.

Club Named A charter member and past president of the Acom Button Collectors Club, of which Miss Pascoe is a member, Mrs. Newberry described the early days of the club's founding when "in May of 1942 we went outdoors and sat on the grass and chose a name for our club, naming it "Acorn' 'because of associations with Connecticut Charter Oak." Miss Pascoe talked about but tons and their history as she pointed out differiag examples on display. "My black glass buttons, first worn by Queen Victoria when in mourning for Prince Albert her husband, were probably made in a Waterbury factory and were popular here as well as in England," she said. The 19th Century silver-luster buttons displayed "are elegant enough for the finest ball dresses, for which they were made, and have a dazzling brilliance since platinum was the source for the finish," said Miss Pascoe.
