Henry F. ch..nan of Wauregan, to h Mass Christ- At the ‘cathedral in Hartford on De- cember 23, Henry Francis Chagnon, son of Mrs. Napoleon Chagnonm, of Wauregan, will be ordained to the priesthood, with a number of other young men of the diocese, by Rt. Rev. 3. 3. Nilan, bishop of Hartfprd. The young candidate for the priest- Eood has been at his studies leading to ordination for the past 12 years. His early education was obtained in the schoels at Wauregan and his la- ter studles, espécially in philosophy and theology, at the grand seminary in Montreal. He is 27 years of age. Following his ordination the young priest will come at once from Hart- ford to Wauregan, where at the Sa- cred Heart church, Rev. J. C. Ma- thieu, pastor, he will celebrate his first high mass, on Christmas_morn- ing at 10 o'clock, and this service will be of special interest to all of the Catholic population of the village where he lived as a boy. STAMPS—CERTIFICATES Favored for Christmas Than Popular Gold Do not give zold pieces to your friends for Christmas. At banks in Danielson the government's request that the time-honored custom of mak- ing gifts of gold money at Christmas time be dispensed with this year, in Forder. that the country’s supply of gold may be conserved. In the place of gold, the government suggests that gifts of war stamps and war certifi- cates be made. These are now being so0ld in Danielson and represent real value that will increase as time goes on. The stamps are selling freely and, the more rapidly they are purchased will hasten the coming of the day that will bring Uncle Sam’s boys home from a victorious war. POMFRET PROPERTY - o Be Developed Soon, to Rumor: May According A rumor gained currency here on Thursday that some action is to be taken to develop the property of the Pomfret Power company, which owns the ‘site of a dam and property near Cotton’s bridge, which spans the Quinebaug river and links the towns of Killingly and Pomfret, to the north- westward of Alexanders lake. Several years ago considerable work was done there by intercsts then iden- tifled with the Danielson Cotton com- pany, and it was proposed to erect a dam 'to hold back water that would be used to generate electric power, which was to be transmitted to Dan- felson for the operation of the bix piant on Main and Maple Streets. but after a time the work was abandoned &nd nothing has since been heard of the profect. More Jeowgily the aife of the pro- posed plant has been investigatea by persons who were interested in form- ing a company to develop water pow- er sites in this section of the count: and the present rumors may have something to do with the activities of persons representing such a -combine.
