Bargain Rush of Townspeople to Se- cure Supply Just Arrived—Mill Em- * ployes Permitted Time Of, to Pur- chase. Hundreds of buyers whe were in all states of mind from frenzy to rapture rushed the store of A. H. Armington Tuesday .momning and - before 11.30 o'clock cleaned .out a 5-ton shipment of sugar that arrived here Monday night. This was the shipment that was intended to:last Danielson far four week: Perhaps it will. - Bul if it is used as rapidly as it was pur- chased by the eager buyers, it will last a little more than four hours. News of the arrival of thg “white gold” spread as rapidly .as does bad news or slander and within a few minutes after the doors of the store were opened Tfor business there was a stampede from all quarters of the town to a peint that centered at the Exchange block. The store force -had worked till midnight Monday weighing up sugar fn 5-pound lots and placing it in bags, and after so arranging approximately three tons it was deemed that enough had been made resdy for quick de- livery to take care of the expected rush. But this was an error. Dan- jelson was hungry for sugar and the three tons melted away lke snow under a noon-day sun. By 8 a. m. helpers were engaged 'n making up more 5-pound packages and these were snapped up by eager ayers a8 st as _the bags were made ready. Ten tons of sugar could have been aisposed of that was cotd the store sumed 1% wroportions by infantrvmen going over the Given a few reward. and tha buvers of Daniel would swarm over the Hin-ienburg line. it wos indicated, and nev top. of Mrs. of the superintendent of schools, of Elks Tuesday 'evening. as easily as the amount Buyers fairly stormed i at periods the rush as- of an attack more tons of sugar as a r stop to eat DANIELSON AND PUTNAM NEws ) "UE Elks Cenfer Degree Advisory Board Named—Supervi ors Discuss Effect of War on the Teaching Profession—High School Girls Serve Finely Prepared Lunch.

One -of the interesting points brought out was that the war is mak- ing it difficult to get teachers. It was stated that in Hartford girl§ who are just out of high school are being of- fered positions in insurance company offices and at other such congenial occupations and are being givea $10 a week and their lunches, immediate- Iy they start work. This is as much as many teachers earn after two years ¢ preparatory work in normal schools, where the registration this fmuch more than 60 per cent. of the registration in normai years. The fact that thousands of young men have gone into army or navy service Has opened -hundreds of positions for young women who might otherwise take up teaching as a profession. The relations of school committee- men and supervisors and superintend- ents was_another of the subjects of interest discussed at the meeting. Students Serve Dinner. Those attending the institute were served a dinner in the library of the to Leasing Third Pigh school. The dinner Wwas pre: parea by the girls of the cooking de. partment, by a particular group of girls that had prepared that particular course. The men were delighted with the din- ner and the splendid manner in which it had been prepared and paid many compliments to the young domestic science artists. The menu follows: 4 Vegetable Soup Cornmeal Bread Roast Beef Mashed Potatoes Mashed Turnips Peas and Carrots Currant Jelly Apple Pie Crackers Celery Vanilla Tce Cream Coffee. Number of Enlistments Probable Chief Boatswain's Maté G. J. Garri- gan . expressed ‘himself Tuesday as well pleased. at the promise_here of securing a number of young men for enlistment in the United States navy. Mr. Garrigan said that several young men had made inquiries relative to the service and he hopes that the active recruiting party that will begin work here on December 9, will meet with fine success. Mr. Garrigan says that the men who_are signed up here will be sent to New Haven for final inspection and enlistment and that they will later be transferred from New Haven to the Naval Training station at New- port. The navy mow, more than ever be- fore, offers fine opportunities for young men, who are being enlisted between the ages of 18 and 35 years. The glorious record that the men of the navy have becn making in the submarine zones durinz the past few months undoubtedly has appealed to the minds of a considerable number of young men here and hereabouts and-the prospects seem to be that re. cruiting here will be much more brisk than it was last summer, when very £00d results were obtained here.
