From a dramatic.as well as a finan- cial standpoint the play -given by the senior class of Killingly High school may be recorded a success. ~The net revenue from the venture will be sub- stantial anq sufficient for the pur- posay to which it is usually devoted by senior classes—taking care of cen- tain expenses incident to graduation and for other purposes incident to school lift and interests. ! TRIPLE FUNERAL HELD. Eli Briere, Daughter and Daughter- in-law Buried at Dayville Saturday. St. Joseph’s church at Dayville was filled to overflowing Saturday morn- ing at one of the most affecting ser- vices ever held in the village—the fu- neral of the victims of the triple fa- tality at the upper railroad crossing in that village last Wednesday evening. Relatives and friends of the Briere and Viens families from all parts of Killingly and many surrounding towns were present and there was evidence gnl every side of the sorrow that was elt, At the altar rail were the caskets containing the bodies of Mrs. Rose Briere Bissonnette and her sister-in- law, Mrs. Fred Briere. The casket containing the body of Eli Briere, father of Rose, was placed in the cen- ter aisle nearby. The officers of the solemn high mass ~¢ -—~auiem were Rev.

A Few Dollars Taken During Break at Union Block, 1 Another burglary was reported to! the police Saturday morning. Thlli time the Terzis poolroom in the Union block, a recently opened business place here, was entered. A few dollars taken | from the store was all that was re-| ported missing. Entrance was gained by breaking out a small plece of glass from the door on the Union street side, reaching in and turning the | spring lock. The break is thought to have been the work of someone famil- lar with the premises.

It tecame a necessary condition of ' Christmas shopping, following Satur- | day's business-killing storm, that the great bulk of buying be done today and in the four days following. The Christmas trading in this city did not get under full headway last week, al-| though there was liberal buying of | gifts. Saturday, fisured to be a big day, was spoiled for shoppers by the storm, and only a percentage of the| number of buyers expected from out of town were seen here. Incidentally, those who had planned to make trips to the big cities were kept at home, and local dealers may now derive a benefit, as there are no remaining chances for week end trips before the holiday. COLLARBONE BROKEN. George Murray Thrown from Load of Goods When Motortruck Skidded. George Murray, employed by the Manhasset company, was painfully in- jured Saturday morning when he was thrown from a load of goods being carried on the motortruck that the concern uses. It i= said that the tru slewed while it was in the vicinity of the mill, that the load shifted and ! that Murray was shot off the top, striking the ground on his head and | shoulders. He was rendered uncon- | cious. Murray broke his collarbone d was otherwise injured. He was en treatment by Dr. Edward F Perry. Address on Milk. It is expected that many East Wood- stock farmers and others from sur- rounding villages will be at Tast Woodstock Wednesday evening to hear the address on The Making and Mar- kketing of Milk by John C. Orcutt, secretary of the Boston Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Orcutt, who has been heard in this city and vicinity on a number of occasions, has made a re- ful study of the subject on which he is to speak and it is certain that h address will be of value to the farm- Arnold’s Bed Socks Made to be worn at night to keep your feet comfortable 25c per pair ers. Mr. Orcutt is to speak at East ‘Woodstock under the auspices of the Community club. City Needs More Houses. Like a number of other places in this section of Windham county which has experienced during the year now closing an industrial boom that prom- ises to mark the beginning of an era of unprecedented growth in this corner of Connecticut, Putnam needs more houses that the constantly increasing demand for them may be met. It has been mighty hard for months for home hunters to find suitable rents, and the condition is going to be worse before it is better unless new houses are built. Manufacturing _concerns here have already announced that they are to increase the size of their plants.in the spring, and that means more op- eratives. The story is now frequently circulated that some advantage is be- ing taken by some property holders to raise rents on tenants because of the unusual demand for houses and the willingness of some of those who want rents badly to pay more for them than present occupants.

They lived a quiet and contented life for several years in the Roaring Brook district in the town of Willington, and later moved to Village Hill, where Mr. Orcutt owned and managed a large farm. About three vears ago they sold the farm and moved to Stafford Springs. They are enjoying comparatively good health and they have many well-wishers who hope they will remain here for many years. They have one daughter living, Mrs. Fred Hall, of Montclair, N. J.
