X. THE BLOCK DANCE
Climaxing the day-long 250th anniversary celebration last Saturday, a tremendous block dance attended by hundreds of townspeople and their guests, took place at the Newtown Shopping Center, Queen Street, from 8:30 until 1 o'clock in the morning. Even a spate of rain and the threat of a downpour could little dampen the spirits of the crowd which packed the plaza and enjoyed itself immensely. Spectators thinned, it is true, but the dancers remained on until the musicians packed up their instruments and called it a day.
As well as the good time enjoyed by all, which was still a topic of conver- sation the following week, people could hardly fail to be impressed with the manner in which the big event was handled. Though crowded from an early hour, there was no confusion. Parking was expedited by State Police, town constables and auxiliary police and the Holian-Knibloe lot on Queen Street
[ 43]
provided ample facilities for the purpose. It was a crowd, one of the biggest in Newtown's recent history, but it was an orderly crowd, out to have an evening's fun. There was no age limit, youngsters in arms, teen-agers, and oldtimers entering into the spirit of the occasion.
Festooned with lights and set off from the rest of the plaza area at the north end of the shopping center building, the "dance floor" was the hardtop of the parking stand, with two orchestras providing the music. One, Eddie Wittstein and his ten-piece dance band from New Haven, played popular ball- room numbers, alternating with George Barba's six-piece square dance band from Branford. When one set finished, the other took over, the music of both reported to be excellent and extremely danceable.
As an added attraction to the evening's entertainment, the committee pro- vided two singers, the first Dolores Ann Duda of Stratford, whose parents were former residents of Newtown. This 11-year-old singer has poise, personality as well as voice, and that she will go far in the entertainment profession was the opinion of all who heard her on Saturday night. She asked her listeners if they wanted more and they did. Only her own good sense and the scheduling of the balance of the program, kept the block dancers from calling her back even more. Later, after 10:30, Ginger Northrop, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Northrop of Meadow Road, delighted her audience by singing several numbers. Ginger, Queen of last year's Barnum Festival in Bridgeport, is gaining a reputation as an entertainer in the area through her regularly scheduled program over WLAD, Danbury. The 15-minute program is broadcast every Saturday at 10:45 a.m. and is called "A Letter From Ginger" which features a script written by herself.
Throughout festivities at the shopping center refreshments were made available by the auxiliaries of the Newtown volunteer fire companies. They did a brisk business in soda, hot dogs and hamburgers, a sellout business, actually, so that latecomers had to take their sizzling hot dogs with all the trimmings but without buns. Somehow the quantity of meat and the number of buns didn't come out right, but no one seemed to mind. One gentleman stepped up to the counter and ordered a dozen hot dogs-without buns-to take home. One of the most talked-of affairs of the entire celebration on August 6, the block dance hit an all-time high for being a well thought-out and enjoyable community entertainment.
The Committee
The subcommittee responsible for the success of the affair was headed by:
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Carruth, chairmen
Mr. and Mrs. David Cassidy
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Clear Mr. and Mrs. Richard A. Eddy
Mr. and Mrs. Mack Lathrop
Mr. and Mrs. L. Edward Lovell

THE NEWTOWN BEE'S SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT
As its contribution to the anniversary celebration the Newtown Bee pub- lished a special six page supplement, which was inserted with its regular weekly issue of August 5, 1955, and was also distributed along the route of the parade and at the park dedication. This special supplement was, in fact, a valuable souvenir program of the various events against their historic back- ground.
This special supplement was in tabloid size, its six pages being profusely illustrated with scenes from Newtown past and present. It gave a complete schedule of the anniversary events, listed the various committees, recounted the early history of Newtown, and contained much other valuable information. A particularly interesting feature was a poem entitled, "Mauquash, Massumpas and Nannawauk", written in the meter of Longfellow's Hiawatha, and signed "HKT", none other than Harry King Tootle, of Dingle Brook Lane.
Contributors to this special supplement, in addition to Mr. Tootle, includ- ed Mrs. Joseph Low and James A. Tobey of the committee, and Paul S. Smith, Zaner Faust, and Edward Lang of the Bee staff.
The first issue of the Newtown Bee was issued on June 27, 1877. The paper was taken over by Allison P. Smith and Arthur J. Smith in 1892, and is now edited by Paul S. Smith, who joined the Bee in 1932 and became its editor in 1934. This weekly newspaper has won many awards for excellence, and every- one agrees that it is one of the best of its type in the United States.
XII. PUBLICITY
Newtown's 250th anniversary received literally reams of publicity in the newspapers, not only because there was an exceptionally able subcommittee on publicity, but because what Newtown was doing was newsworthy. Items and articles appeared in every weekly issue of the Bee from May through August. The local correspondent of the Danbury News Times and the Bridgeport Tele- gram and Post, Judge Edward S. Pitzschler, saw to it that there was ample coverage in these dailies.
Among other gratifying publicity items was a full column about Newtown, signed by David Anderson, in the New York Times for Sunday, July 31. This was arranged by Harry King Tootle, a former member of the Times staff. The Bridgeport Post for Sunday, August 7, 1955 had a complete page of photo-
[ 45 ]
graphs of the Newtown celebration. Many other newspapers in Connecticut and New York likewise ran items and cditorials on Newtown's celebration.
The Committee
Members of the subcommittee on publicity were:
Harry King Tootle, Chairman Robert Hallock Albert S. Knapp Mrs. Joseph Low Paul D. Webb
XIII. THE NEW BOOK ON NEWTOWN
The 107-page book entitled, "Newtown, Past and Present", was not spon- sored by the anniversary committee, but was prepared by a committee of the Newtown League of Women Voters, and issued on the day of the celebration. It is best described in the review by Harry King Tootle, which appeared in the Special Supplement to the Newtown Bee. Here is what Mr. Tootle wrote:
Those who watch with discerning eyes the unfolding of democratic pro- cesses in this country have long recognized the non-partisan zeal for better government of the League of Women Voters. Its programs for social and politi- cal reforms are admirable, and are exerting an influence for good in city, state and national government. Its chief goal is the education of women politically in order that they may cast their ballots intelligently.
The League of Women Voters of Newtown not only has been active in pursuing national politics, but it has also embarked on local projects which have successfully served Newtown and added to League stature. Notable as a League endeavor was the publishing three years ago of a revised map of New- town. A committee worked diligently to see that all roads were properly named and classified and all districts outlined. Now the League has to its credit an even greater achievement-the publication this month of "Newtown, Connecti- cut."
Here is a book which should be read and kept for reference in every Newtown home. It should be sent to the sons and daughters who have moved away, to justify the pride in their old home which they carry with them wherever they go.
Here is a moving chronicle of the little settlement which grew and thrived through Colonial days, thrived far more with its rich farm lands and its varied industries under the infant republic, accepted the age of mechanization and
[46 ]
made it work, and now faces the future with confidence born of past accomplish- ments. All this is what the book is about.
"Newtown, Connecticut" was planned by the League while under the lead- ership of Mrs. Edmund E. Neary. Now it is published in the administration of Mrs. Norman Fedde. All members of the League publication committee worked tirelessly, each contributing to the success of the book; yet the chairman of the group, Mrs. Jerome P. Jackson, must be singled out before all others and highly commended. To the task she brought not only organizational skill, but also long hours and days of research to give the book substance and authority. She journeyed over the state, frequently to Stratford and New Haven to consult source material. Here at home she completed her data and at the same time coordinated the activities of her associates.
Listing the names of the members of the publication committee is the same as listing the names of leading contributors. Especial mention should be made of Mrs. Bradley Randall who put together the first section of the book, writing with literary charm and a proper sense of proportion. It is called "The Past." For most readers here is the part of the book which has the most fascination.
"The Past" tells of the simple living of God-fearing people who accepted hardships without bitterness and always strove to make life better for themselves and their children. Let Newtown parents read this story of our past to their children, dwelling upon the homely virtues of these pioneers, so that the memory of their useful lives will not go unhonored or unsung in the years to come.
The second section of the book, "The Present," has not the romance of "The Past," except for those who recognize that the complexity of modern life provides a new type of romance. There is no last frontier today, and this book reveals that there are still frontiers in Newtown.
When the proposed book was under discussion last February, it was not so comprehensive a work as it has become. Giving consideration to the 250th anniversary of the founding of the town, it was decided to enlarge the section devoted to its history, and publish it in time for the celebration. It makes a fine souvenir of the occasion. The work has been done so well that as a short ac- count of Newtown's past and present, it may well be regarded as definitive.
Newtown is rich in the number of its citizens whose standing in the arts goes far beyond our borders and sometimes brings international fame. In no field is it richer than in its artists. Happily, they have contributed generously to help make "Newtown, Connecticut" a volume which in time should be a collector's item. One who does not pause over each illustration is missing some of the flavor of the book. The artists are: Robert Hallock, who drew the cover (he also drew the rooster which adorns the anniversary poster), John Angel, Mrs. Nina Blake, Herman deVries, Norman Fedde, Mrs. Katherine S. Keeler, Joel King, Joseph Low, Henry Schnakenberg, J. Norton Stewart, Eberhard von Jarochowski, Paul D. Webb, and Harrie Wood.
As is befitting such a volume, type, presswork and binding attest the care taken by the designer and printer. The credit for the physical appearance of the book goes to a son of Newtown, Daniel C. Honan, president of the Walker-
[47]
Rackliff Company, printers, New Haven, Conn. He personally took charge of all the details of the work, which was done by the Walker-Rackliff Co.
Credit for "Newtown, Connecticut" goes to the following members of the publication committee :
Mrs. Jerome P. Jackson, Chairman
Mrs. Bradley Randall Mrs. James Brunot Mrs. Raymond L. Hall
Mrs. M. Fridolf Jacobson
Mrs. Frank L. Johnson
Mrs. William H. Knox
Mrs. Malcolm R. McClintock Mrs. Frank C. McGlinchy
Let Newtown salute them!
XIV. FIFTY YEARS LATER
Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of our Two Hundred and Fiftieth Year- On August 6th, Nineteen Fifty-Five Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous Day and Year.
First, Paul S. Smith of the Newtown Bee Dug through his files and said that we Should celebrate, ere the summer ends, In a fitting manner, with neighbors and friends The purchase of lands from the Pootatucks And how they trimmed those noble bucks By giving them "blankets, fur coats and collars And ruffelly shirts", but not any dollars, We got 48 square miles of land Now stretching around us on every hand.
Soon Colonel James Tobey summoned his crew And gave us plenty of work to do While the Finance Committee raised the dough Always required to run a show. And Mister James Brunot of Scrabble fame Said it would really be a shame Not to have a parade, both lively and funny, For dough after all is "only money".
[48 ]
So he and Al Nichols, working early and late Hired thirteen fine Bands from all over the State. We searched for a word that means "Two-fifty" Something stylish, fancy and nifty Like "Sequi-centennial" or Ter-centenary" But Gilbert Highet, the famous linguist, Advised us to stick to basic English. The League of Women wrote the story Of Newtown's Past and Present Glory, A Labor of Love, which will surely last While we cherish the History of the Past. And Harry King Tootle of Dingle Brook Lane Was asked to take up his pen again (He used to be with the New York Times And knew how to make up excellent rhymes) He wrote of three Chiefs of the Pootatuck Tribe In a kind of blank-verse that is hard to describe.
The rooster on the Meeting House steeple Got a coating of gold which dazzled the people Who stared at him from the ground below Asking themselves why he didn't crow. And Lincoln B. Mitchell showed six old houses In which our ancestors lived with their spouses And managed to have a happy life Without all the gadgets, now so rife. Then the Movie Theatre gave a show Free to all who wanted to know How Sousa's Marches were played by Bands In this and many other lands.
At last came the day of the Big Parade, The thermometer ninety degrees in the shade, With banners and floats on every hand All led by Sandy Hook's own Band. And the Governor at Dickinson Park Honored the man who had won renown As First Selectman of Our Town. Then Little League games in the afternoon With an open-air dance by the light of the moon, And the Day was over, all too soon.
[ 49 ]
And that is how, my children dear We observed that famous Day and Year May all of us who are still alive Do equally well in Two Thousand-Five.
-H. W. L., III Newtown, Connecticut July 4, 2005
This poem appeared in the Newtown Bee for August 26, 1955. The author, who coyly signed himself H. W. L. III (For Henry W. Longfellow, III) was a prominent local resident, Mr. James B. Forbes of Wendover Road.
XV. BUDGET, FINANCE, AND CONTRIBUTORS
Since the Town of Newtown had no funds to pay the expenses of the anniversary celebration, the Executive Committee set a modest budget of $2500.00, and decided to raise this money by public subscription, both from individual contributors and business firms.
Early in June the Finance subcommittee sent a printed form letter to 1300 Newtown residents asking for contributions, while members of this committee personally canvassed all business firms in town. The response was most grati- fying, and the budget was oversubscribed by more than $1000. The 94 business firms which contributed were listed in advertisements occupying a full page in the Newtown Bee for July 15th, and a two-thirds page on July 22nd.
