A delighted audience witnessed the first_presentation of the Cinemalogue on John Bunyan's Pilgrims’ Progress Friday night at the Y. M. C, A. audi- torjum. The pictures are far above the average exquisitely tinted, they are very restful to the eye. The pro- logue shewing the life of Bunyan is exceedingly strong and is illuminated by a forceful lecture by Colonel Fred- erick Ray. Pilgrims’ Progress follows the pro- logue and the journey of Christian was followed with intense interest by the audience. The solos, Lead Kindly Light, Abide With Me, and Holy City were sung by Colonel Ray most ef- fectively and the lecture on Pilgrims’ Progress emphasized the presenta- tion, The appropriate. music played by Frances Ray was greatly enjoyed and enhanced the value of the presenta- tion.

Leroy Walker, Isbister, DISCOVERS WAY TO CLOSE SHAY PLANT New London Committee Says Proper- ty Can Be Leased For $16,000. The special committee appointed by the New London court of common council, empowered to act in relation to the elimination of the Shay fertili- zer plant in- Groton arrived Friday morning at what is believed will be a happy and permanent solution of the problem which threatened to drive the submarine base to Newport. At a meeting of the committee mem- bers in the office of Mayor Rogers, ar- rangements were made whereby a lease of the Shay property can be effected for a sum not greater than $16,000. While it is extremely probable that the whole of this amount will not be required, it will nevertheless be es- WATERFORD HEARSE IS sentlal “to have it guaranteed. er carefully considering the NOW CHICKEN COOP | proposition from ~all angles it ape peared to the committee that it could best obtain the desired result by se- curing a lease of the Shay plant. This Mr. Shay is willing to give. Such a plan will involve the raising of a fund of 316,000. The committee rec- ommended that this be done rather than to.go through the expensive and tedious process of litigation which would arise as the result of institut- ing a law suit against the fertilizer company, By the terms of the leatse, which runs for one vear and any part of an- other which may be necessary, the plant will be closed within two weeks from this date and In two weeks more all the machinery used especially for rendering purposes will be removed. The building will thus be left Intact in readiness for some other usage. Boil- ers, elevators and such other equip- ment as would be adaptable to a busi- ness of other natoure will remain in it. The high water system and the lease of a large pond adjolning will also be retained. The purpose of the committes in securing the lease Is to close down the plant immediately and thereby not only remove theé nuisance which bade fair to bring about the loss of the submarine base, but also to make possible the complete utilization of the government's holdings as contem- plated by the navy department. It is naturally expected that with the elim- ination of the menace to health and comfort, the improvements which it is proposed to make at a cost of from $50,000 to $160,000 will be at once in- augurated, As stated, the committee has an option on the lease and will exercise it forthwith if satisfled of sultable 8- nanclal support. - Already numerous assurances have been received from leading oitizens of their interest and assistance in_ the matter. It is con- fdently anticipated that other re- sponses Wil come in rapidly. The leased, as observed, is for a peri- od of one year, with the privilege of extenslon for as great a portion of an- other year as may be necessary to find a purchaser for the plant, Of course, it will not be sold again to be used as a rendering establishment. The build- ing is large, of fireproof construction, and amply protected against fire from the_exterlor.
