A vote was passed by the church to adopt this recommendation. Fined $3 for Keeping Unlicensed Dog. At Friday morning’s session of the city court Judge L. H.

It is expected that the train will be run in extra sections un- til after the Fourth. Demand for Swimmin' Hole. Once more talk of Putnam's need of a swimming pool is heard in the city. The advocates of having 1 pool are chiefly young men, some of whom suggest that a pool is full as necessary as public playsrounds, which, they ad- mit, are very desirable. One of the suggestions heard in connection with the swimming pool proposition is that a canvass for subscriptions be made, the youns men to contribute a dollar each. It is estimated that not much more than $100 would be required to fix up a good swimming place at one point not_ distant from the center of the city, but in a secluded section. BARN DANCE Given at Pomfret Centre by J. Allen Averill and His Sister. L. Allen Averill, 2 graduate this year from Putnam high, and his sister, An- nie A. Averill, entertained about 100 friends Friday night at an old fash- ioned barn dance held in the large barn at their home, at Pomfret Cen- ter. All the members of the senior class of the high school were invited and the trip from Putnam was made in_an autobus. The barn was decorated with laurel. The Cargill orchestra furnished dance class numerals at intervals around the hall, resulting in class members con- gregating beneath “their year” for brief reunions, and the dimming of the armory lights at one period that an flluminated American flag over the orchestra be brought out prominently, this feature winning applause. The arrangements for the reception were efficiently taken care of by the following officers of the Alumni asso- ciation: President, Frank J. G.
