Tuesday was the hottest day in Norwich in eight vears. One resident of the West Side says it was the hot- test day in twenty-ome years. But he lives in a section of the city which s gradually becoming built up which robably accounts for the hizh mer- cury reading out his way. In the doorway of a Main street barber shop read 120 degrees Tuesday afternoon and readings almost as hizh were reported from various parts of the city. A local druggist who carries a soda fountain has discovered that by keep- ing his store door closed he keeps the cool air inside and the hot out. He put the new plan into operation Tues- day and it worked to perfection. Soda fountain and ice cream clerks were among the hardest worked people in the city for a steady stream of men, women and children filed in and out of these stores all day and late into_the evening. A number of local offices closed up about the middle of the aft- ernoon and cmploves in many of the stores and industrial plants in the clty, especially the girls and women, were allowed to go home at 430 o'clock. Electric fans twere worked overtime and, we hate to say it, there’s no_relief in sight vet. Several local coricerns, including the Bleachery and American Strawboard company, shut down for the great part of the day. The Strawboard company shut down at noon Tuesday.
