City Asks Those Not Counted To Get On Roll The Shelton City Commission this week asked that anyone in the city who was not counted in the 1970 census in April contact city hall to make sure they are included.

Not one child spilled the beans and Mrs. AIin Ambrose she gazed around the decorated "gym" from its large group of pleased and happy students to a table loaded with refreshments and the decorations done by the youngsters. At the request of the room mothers, the cupcakes were delivered that morning unfrosted and taken to Codg Brooks who took them home and decorated them before the festivities were to begin. A specially decorated cake for her to take home featured a sleepy bear in a nightcap carrying a lantern and was inscribed, "Retiring? We'll sure miss you." One of the room mothers, Mrs. Peggy Schouviller, had made two large paper mache birds for the centerpiece and also a big bumble bee pinata.
