It is conceded that 3,000 of the signers who are parents have expressed their will since by official registration figures. 1,554 youngsters have Ihus far been enrolled for kindergarten classes.

His latest belief is that the School board, by adjusting its budget, could engage the nine additional teachers necessary for a normal kindergarten program.

We suggest that they then consider the other 73 1-2 per cent of the voters who have not had their say. Disputes between Tax boards and School boards over money are nothing new.

The State Supreme court has reviewed controversies similar to the local issue and has declined to rule in favor of one side or the other, advising that such questions should be resolved in the political arena if the orderly democratic system of government is to be maintained. We are willing to accept the wisdom of the justices of the highest tribunal in the state, when, in a learned opinion they handed down in a Tax board versus School board legal action, they said, "It is also true that where a board of finance reduces an estimate of a board of education so that the sum appropriated is less than is reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes to be served cr where it takes such action not in the exercise of a sound judge- ment but from improper motives or without sufficient understanding, there would seem to be no adequate remedy which (he board of education might effectively invoke. "THE LEGISLATURE, however, evidently deemed it neces- sarv in the interests of sound municipal finance to give town boards of finance the powers we liave outlned. ff such boards do not exercise their judgement intelligently, fairly and disinterestedly, the situation is one. unfortunately not unknown, wherein a public official fails properly to perform the duties of his office, and the remedy is that inherent in the theory of representative government, to replace him by another.

If the result brought about by the statutes, which are evidently designed to produce a nice balancing of powers between the two boards do not serve the public interests, the recourse is not where no jus- ticable rights are involved, to seek to make thc courts arbiters in a controversy essentially political, but lo ask the Legislature to change or belter define Ann terrace.

They are Ted van Griethuysen and Carrie Nye, both in their twenties, both from affluent families and neither of whom has had to "sing for his supper" as is typical of other actors in the theater today. Mr. van Griethuysen's father is the president of the Oasis Oil Company of Libya and is enjoying, Ted happily reports, "considerable success and respect, both deserved, I might add." He also admits his family's financial support, which lasted until a year ago, "has been very important to me; it would be dishonest and a little silly to say otherwise. But that would not have meant much if I had not.

at the same time, had the encouragement of both my parents to make my own career decision." THAT DECISION led the young actor, who was born ia Ponca City, Oklahoma, to the University of Texas, the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, and the Yale School of Drama where he studied costume design and prepared for his present membership in United Scenic Artists. He has, since then, created the costumes for "The Crystal Heart," a musical which had a brief tenure off-Broadway a couple of seasons ago.

Before join- 'ng the American Shakespeare Festival's acting company as Florizel in "The Winter's Tale" for last season's student audience program, he had appeared in "Love Labour's Lost," "CymbeU ine." Romeo and Juliet" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream" for the San Diego and Oregon Festival's and the University of Texts. This past winter, as a member of the Phoenix Theater's acting company, he portrayed Laertes in "Hamlet." Stratford's Festival provided him last season with brief appearances in "The Tempest" the fore as the delightfully comic M. LeBeau in "As You Like it." and as the tragic Troilus whose bittersweet romance becomes the. political yo-yo of a society at war with itself.

CARRIE NYE, spending her first season on the banks of the Housatonic, is a triple-threat actress portraying Celia in "As You Like Lady Macduff in "Macbeth" and the flighty Cressida. Like her romantic partner in "Troilus and Cressida," her family background, in no way an introduction to the theater. Born in Greenwood, situated in the scenic Delta country, she spent her childhood on a plantation, groomed for part- es, shopping trips and other frivolous activities. "My home was veritable Tara," she jokingly recalls, and a far cry from her York apartment and the strenuous rehearsals and performances in Stratford. Young in her career as well is her years.

Miss Nye forsook luxurious and lazy Delta security to study at the Yale Drama school, supplementing her classroom work with summer raining in a variety ot professional stock companies in New Orleans, Memphis, Colorado, Wil- iamstown and Stockhridge. At Williamstown she appeared as Sabina in "The Skin of Our Teeth" vith Mildred Dunnock and E.G. Marshall, an experience she calls 'marvelous" and "invaluable." She had a brief Broadway vith "The Good Soup" and "Second String" before making her Shakespearean debut last Spring.
