CHRISTMAS BASKETS Distributed Fam o Twenty-Three Needy | in Borough. Twenty-three Christmas baskets of foodstuffs were distributed to needy families in Danielson by the commit- tee that each year has charge of this work. The contents of the baskets were regulated according to the Size of the families that were to be supplied, but in each basket ‘was a fowl and vege- tables, fruits, etc. Canned goods, preserves, packages of rice and other articles were included in the Mt of contents of some of the packages that were sent out. These baskets brought cheer into the homes to which they were taken and all who have contributed to-the tund or who gave articles of food may feel that, the blessing of the persons who- have received the baskets havée been showered upon them. Up fo Christmas afternoon mém- bers of the committee in charge of this Christmas work were not in a position to state the amount of fnoney that has been contributed, for the jars that have been placed in stores about town had not been collected. A Mean Theft. There is one unseemly incident to relate in connection with the effort to raise the Christmas fund for the needy here. This is the theft, from a Main street store, of a jar containing money that was to be used to help buy dinners for the poor. The miss- ing jar, which undoubtedly fell into the hands of some soulless shoplift- er, contained a Juantity of coins and At least one bill Feasts at Public Institution: Eighteen inmates af the Killingly town farm had their Christmas made cheerful through. the ~thoughtfuiness and carc of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Bas- gett, superintendent and matron - at the farm.

NEW PRIESTS OFFVCIATE Young Man, Ordained Sunday, First Solemn High Local Celebrate Masses. Very large congregations were in attendance at St. Mary’s church Christmas morning at the solemn high masses of which two newly ordained priests whose parental homes are in this city were the celebrants. Rev. Adellard Lacroix was celebrant of the 9.15 o'clock mass, with Rey. Anselm Mayotte deacon and Rev. Ad- rian Dykemans sub-deacon, Rev. Charles F. Bedard acting as master of ceremonies and preaching the ur«' mon. A program of special Christmas | music was sunzg by the choir. | Rev. fhomas ‘McGarry was cele- brant of the solemn hizh mass at 10.30 o'clock, Rev. Adrian Dykemans being deacon, Rev. Anselm Mayotte sub-deacon and _Rev. Charles T Bedard laster of ceremonies. The sermon at this mass was preached by Rev. Maurice McAuliffe of St Thomas’ seminary, Hartford, where Fathers Lacroix and McGarry studied. Christmas Day Made Glad. The spirit of Christmas was not missing at the county home for chil- oren yesterday. Scores of happy chil- dren were served a splendid Christmas dinner and enjoyed the event hugely. There was an _unlimited supply of Chicken, plenty of vegetables and many other good things for the little people, though the shortage of sugar made it recessary to curtail somewhat on the Ppasiry features of the feast. Tonight the children will have their Christmas tree, which will be loaded with gifte from friends in many places in the county. At the Day Kimball hospital Christ- mas day and at the town farm Christ- mas was made a day of special at- traction and there were good things a-plenty for all. TOTAL MEMBERSHIP 2,217 As Far as Reports of Red Cross Cam- paign Have Been Received. ‘While final reports on the Red Cross drive were not available up to Christ- mas afternoon, Postmaster Alexander ilman, who had charge of the drive in the Putnam district, said that hi last report showed a total of 2,217 members obtained here. Reports have not as yet been obtain- ed from a number of towns and patts of towns, and reports from the: can- vass in several mills have not been received. It is possible that the re- ceipt-of these reports will show that the total membership in the Putnam district, which includes the towns of Putnam, Pomfret, Thompson, Wood- stock and a part of the town of Kil- iingly, is in excess of 3,000. The goal set for the distriet was 5,000 members. Postoffice Christmas Rush. Al Christmas mail matter was eleaned up by the local postoffice force before the office closed for the day at 11.30 Christmas morning. The business this vear did not show an_increase over last year, and prob- ably was about of the same volume, but it came with a rush during the final few days before Christmas, mak- ing it harder to handle than is usually the case. It is believed that final fig- ures will show that the volume of in- coming mail was not quite up to th: handled during the Christmas season of 1916. 3 To expedite the delivery of mail, Postmaster Gilman had as many as three teams in service some of the time between Saturday morning and Monday forenson. SOLO FLYING. iting Herbert E. Smith on Return to Norfolk. Herbert E. Smith, from the aero- nautical station at Norfolk. Va., is at hig home here on leave of absence. Mr. Smith wears the wings and propeller insignia on his naval uniform, denot- ing his calling as a flyer, which he says is_the greatest sport in the world. Mr. Smith has been in the service for several months now and has made many flights. Up to the present time ‘he has been flying with an instructor. Soon after his return he expects to start in on his 50 hours of solo flying and when he completes this work he will be considered a graduate fiyer. Fifty hours of flying doesn’t sound much when you say it, but, as a mat- ter of fact, it means several months of work, as the fll:m. are of short duration. Mr.. Smith is enthusiastic over the service, in- which he enlisted in Boston, going to Squantum, last summer. o Quiet Holiday. Christmas was a quiet holiday In Putnam. There were many family re- unions, but the visitors in the. city Kkept close to tie homes and there was little doing about town. The theatres, however, 4id a big business, capacity houses _being the rule at all shows of the day, afternoon @nd evening. Salvation Army Benevolence. The Salvation Army workers in this city brought Christmas joy to the homes of a number of needy families yesterday by supplying .them with special baskets of food ~for holiday dinnere, following out a custom that his_been in force in this city for & number of years.
