WELL KNOWN JEWETT CITY MAN DEAD Jean LeClaire Suscumbed Sud- denly When Stricken With 8hock. (Special to The Bulletin.) Jewett City, Oct. 22—Jean B. Le. claire, one of the most prominent bus iness men of Jewett City, dled very suddenly at about § o'clock Monday ning. He went to the barn in the rear of his house and fell unconscious, stricken with a shock. His son Al pherfe, found him there, and he was taken ‘into the house, living only half &n hour. He has not been well and Monday had complained of dizziness. Mr. ire was born Feb. 22, 1856, at La Presentation, P. Q. where his father, Joseph LeClaire, was born, a descendent of one of the first French settlers in the section. Jean B. LeClair was one of six chil dren. ‘He was educated in the gov- ernment schools of Canada and lived at home, assisting on the farm until sixteen vears of age when he started out to make his own way in the world. How well he succeeded every. one in this section knows. He “came to Cannecticut and found cmployment in a woolen mill at Put- nam. He kept on working, and sav- ing his money and in 1886 came to Jewett City and started gn the bakery business. years ldter he buiit his present homa and bakery. In 1900 he built the Le Claire block where he las a large butcher and grocery bus- iness. He also owns other valuable property in town. He has been progressive, and has not only pushed his own .busine: with success, but has taken a deep and acti interest in all public mat- ters of the town and borough. He has filled the offices of burge: ber of board of relief and has always proved his efficiency and was in every way a broad-mindedand liberal man. He is a trustee of St. Mary's church of Jewett Cit; Fraternally’ he was a member of ‘White Cross Council, K. of C., of Nor- sessor, In poiitics he was an honest. con- scientious democrat, always believing in, and standing firmly to, s of that party.

Leavens Says Any Such Re- ports Are Absslutely Without Foun- dation. which have been circulated ir this city and elsewhere to the ef- fect that knitted articles made by Red Cross workers or donated to. the Red Cross are heing sold to soldiers and even civilians were characterized Monday by Francis J. Leavens, chair- man of the Ngfwich Chapter, :1 part of a definite propaganda to destroy Public confidence in the Red Cross and thereby seriousiy hamper the work of caring for our soldlers and 'he ‘rumors were started simulta- necusly (n many localitles, sald Mr. Leavens, and were related with such specious detafl that many persons ac- cepted them as true. Invistigations were started by the Red Cross with the result that the stories were found to have not she slightest foundation. There was every reason o believe that these stories were circulated malic- fously, Mr. Leavens continued, the fact that they originated at the same time in so many localities, making them appear part of a propaganda to injure the Red Cross. Supposed let- ters from American soldiers in France to their mothers were cited in support of the stories that knitted goods had been purchased by the men either di- rect from the Red Crosa or through dealers, Mr. Leavens sald. One very popular report told how one woman accosted another cn tke streets, recognized a sweater the lat- ter was wearing as one she had made for her boy in France, and ripping upen one o the sleeves pulled out a small piece of cloth inscribed by the maker's name. This story has been told all over the state with many var- Iations. “Doubtless every one by this time bas heard the taie of the woman Wgio knitted a sweater for the Red Cross, placed her nmame in the pocket, and a few days later received word from a department siore ‘that her sWeater had been purchased with a number of others frcgn a manufacturer,” sald Mr. Leavens. “She is a curious person, this lady of the sweater. Never by any chanc has she a nams peed travels about is really re- One day we hear of her in Houston, Texas, the next day she is in Cleveland, and she was reported as being in Troy, Oneonta. Loweville, Waverly, Norwich, and Utica. As she moved from place to place her handi- work increased from one sweater to half a dozen pairs of socks. “Every one begins the story ‘a {riend of mine" but when one poiitely inquires the name of the friend there is always the reply: ‘Well, she is nct really a friend of mine, but one of my friends knows her. “One hates to spoil a perfectly gaod story, but truth. will out. The Red Cross sweaters have no pockets. This disposes -once for all of the ‘lady of the sweater, but that the rumor is widespread is quite evident by the number of letters and telegrams re- ceivgd daily at Red Cross headquar- ters. “While these stories may be repeat- ed more as idle gossip than with any malicioys_intent, + nevertheless each person ‘who passes. It along uncon. sciously displays an unfriendly spirit To an ‘organization that is doing ev- erything in its power to contribute to the welfare and comfort of men serying in the army and navy. “The organization of the Red Cross supply service i3 so planned that in cidents of this nature are absolutely impossible. “The Red Cross is divided. into di- visions ‘and subdivided into chapters and branches. Each chapter has jur- isdiction over the branches within its boundaries, and is responsible fo the division headquarters. When supplies are needed an al'otment is given by headquarters to a chapter. The crup- ter then calls for a certain number of articles from each branch. When these are completed they are turned in to the thapter, which, upon orders direct from headquarters, either ships them abroad or sends them to the di- vision supply service for distribution through the military relief department. “At every camp and cantonment there is -a Red Cross representative who datermines the need for supplies, make ) requisitions to headquarters, and aistributes supplies as they are received. “Local chapters may give knitted articles to men leaving for camp, but only on a written requisition from the commanding officer of the troop. This method of distribution makes inci- dents like. those reported quite im- vossible, and any woman who sends in_sweaters, wristlets, or socks mo feel comfident that they will reac® some man in the nation service, and that he wills not pay for them. The Red Cross glves: it does not seil.” TAFTVILLE Surprise Party For Miss Madelinef O’Keefe—Boy Scouts Busy With Liberty Loan—Personals.
