The_celebration of Lincoln's birth- day Saturday was very quiet. The banks were closed all day, to the dis- may of some forgetful persons who tried their doors, but outside of that there was little to indicate what the day was in this city. An American flag fluttered above the entrance to Mayor Dunn's store on Railroad street but very few others were seen. The storm was undoubtedly responsible for the fact that so few flags were flying. More snow than has heen seen in this city this winter has fallen in the past two days, and after the most un- seasonable weather of January, even a foot or two of snow is a relief. The snow_fell most of Saturday and Sun- day, beginning on Friday. While there has’ been little wind, and no drifting, the slow, steady fall made an accumu- lation which has kept the city’s men and property owners busy, trying to keep some semblance of a path open on_the walks. ‘The disturbance to traffic conditions has been slight, the Norwich and South Coventry trolley lines adhering pretty closely to schedule time, and the railroad trains not beinz delayed, in_the majority of cases, much behtnd EPISCOPAL MISSION To Be Held During Week of March 5, With Central Services at St. Al ban’s.

BURNS MAY PROVE FATAL Miss Annie Costello, Lebanon Teacher, Overturns Lamp, Her Dress Catch- ing Fire. Annie Costello, 19, a teacher in Leb- anon, is critically ill' at St. Joseph's hospital, having received severe burns as the result of an overturned lamp, while at her father's home in Mans- field Saturday night. Miss Costello was spending the week-end with her father, Timothy Costello of Mansfield, and went upstairs in the evening with a lighted lamp to get a book. In some manner the lamp was overturned, and her dress caught fire. Her parents heard her scream, and hurried up- stairs, finding her clothes in flames. They cut them away from her as best they could, and summoned medical aid. Later the ambulance was called, and Miss Costello was brought to the hospital. Her parents stayed at her bedside Saturday night, and but little hope was given them of her recovery. Sunday evening Miss Costello was still unconscious and delirious. She is a graduate of Windham High school and well known to the younger peo- ple in this cit: Trolley For Norwich Stalled.

Prospects Good For More Ice. At the end of the week of real winter weather ice on cutting ponds in this section was nearing the thickness re- quired for profitable harvesting.

Big Interests Represented in Newly Organized Building and Loan Asso- ciation. The splendid manner in which im- portant interests here have shown a willingness to support a Building and Loan asociation programme that Kill- ingly's very pressing need of addition- al homes may be met, was discussed with much satisfaction Saturday. It is expected that the number of shares subscribed for will easily reach 300 be- fore tomorrow night, when the rext meeting of the official board comes. A building and loan association is a new proposition in Danielson and its purposes and methods of management as misunderstood by a great many people. A very common error, is that subscribers for shares kiss their mon- ey goodbye once they put it in. Noth- ing is more distant from the _truth. Subscribing for shares is much the same as putting money in a savings institution. The subscriber has ex- cellent security for his Investment, which also returns him a liberal rate of interest, 5 per cent. in this case. At maturity of his shares, a matter of twelve years, his entire investment comes back to him dollar for dollar. During all of the time his money isin- vested he is protected under laws of the state of Connecticut governing the operation of building and loan asso- ciations. _Provision is made to pro- tect him from loss in case of illness, misfortune or death. Properly man- aged, the building and loan assocla- tion investment is perfectly safe, and the success of an Investment venture of whatever nature is safe only on the same basis. In addition, a sub- scriter in Danielson’s particular asso- clation not only does well for himself, but becomes a public benefactor in so much as he has done something to provide Danielson with the homes which it so urgently needs to realize - Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S | | {bay been spending a few dave with friends in Putnam.

J. Marcus Greene. Local relatives were at Dayville Sat- urday to attend the burial of J. Mar- cus Greene, who died suddenly Wed- nesday night at his home in Worces- ter, where funeral services were held Traffic Not Greatly Delayed. The longest drawn out snow storm of the season buried Putnam under an_additional heavy burden of snow during Saturday and Sunday. Put- nam found itself a pathless city upon awakening Sunday morning, this con- dition being more aggravated than usual in snow storms because of the little traffic on the day of rest. As a ditions, the attendance at the churches was materially reduced. The snow was heavier here than at| Danielson, according to reports of| trollev crews. During the morning hours conditions were such as to knock the cars off schedule for a time, but the plows were kept busy and in the afternoon, ‘though it was still snowing, the cars were running on time and as usual. here clearing switches and removing the snow from other points where it would cause difficulty and inconven- fence if allowed to remain.

It is significant that representatives of every big textile plant in this town were present at the organization meet- ing and are among the heaviest sub- scribers for shares. These men rep- resent solid, permanent industries, not boom companies that may fade away at the end of the great Burop- ean conflict. They were in Killingly before the war came and will be here after it is but 2 memory, but whether they are here as expanded and still growing concerns or as companies handicapped by lack of town building development depends large on Killingly’s citizens, who are direct beneficierfes of the manufacturing concerns’ success and prosperity. Asking why these companies do not build homes for their employes isy be- side the question. . Their capital is pre: 1y_occupied with their own ex- pansion. They are manufacturing con- cerns, not real estate companies. They are delivering the goods in the way of big and steadily growing payrolls and can continue to o so to limits that will surprise this old town into a real- ization of what it may become if they are given the support that is due them. ‘The prospect is on a_solid and per- manent_basis, not a chimerical possi- bility. Killingly is more than 200 years old, but it never had the opportunity srowth that 's its own today if but seize upon it. Killingly people have plenty of mon- and to spare, to meet every re- ment of the building campaign and if they will but loosen up the promise is that they will in the future have splended cause for con- gratulating themselves on thelr good indsment, the benefits of which will continue through the years.

Aerial mail service to isolated points in Alaska :nd Massachuseits is contemplated by the post office department. Dids were asked for rervice on eight routes, seven of them in Alaska. October 1 is named us the date for their start- ing. The routes will be established, the department announced, as much to stimulate development of aviation be- cause of its relation to military pre- paredness as to improve the mail ser- vice. The department believes that efforts already begun to finance an ae- rial patrol of the Atlantic coast indi- cate that ready capital will be found for the mail service undertakings. If the service is successfui, it is an- nounced, a gradual expansion will fol- low to other routes where transporta- tion is slow and inadequate. The Massachusetts route is from New Bedford to Nantucket, 56 miles and return, partly by land and partly by water. Trips wouid be made 13 times a week during the summer months and six times in the winter. An aeroplane would have to be able to carry a weight limit of three thou- sand pounds.
