This—the first of the Garfleld holi- days—will find Danielson - practically Sundayized on a Monday. Practically all the stores are to remain closed, but there are someexceptions. Incidentally, there will also be an increase in manufacturing activity over what has been the rule since last Thursday night. The . Connecticut Mills company, which is engaged up- on government work, will resume op- crations in full at 7 o'cloc this morn- ing and will run on full time through- out the week—unless something else 2gain happens. The Quinebaug Co., land the Danielson Connton Co., also will have some machinery. in opera- ition and at Dayville: the . Assawaga | Woolen companl, making government i | goods, will be doing business. It will also be of interest to the en- forced holiday crowds to know that the theatre will be open today, but closed Tuesday, in accordance with a ruling that was made known . Sun- day. This reversal of the order as ap- plying to theatres will mean the en- forced cancellation of the DBusiness Men’s course entertainment scheduled for Tuesday night, hut this will be given at some later date. The saloons here will be closed to- day. Warden F. E. Cunneen, who is a member of the state council of de- fence, said that the saloon men have stated to him their willingness to close. In view of this fact the hotels also will be expected to suspend the sale of intoxicants, and i fthey fail to do so and evidence to that effect that can possibly be obtained they will be reported to the proper federal officials and made liable to a fine of $5,000. This rule is made in order that just saloons may not be any wodrse off than hotels that have licenses. Orders Received. Closing of business places here will be enforced in accordance with the provisions of the text of the following telegram, given out Sunday. F. E. Cunneen, Chairman Fuel Committee, Danielso Monday closing. Please advice all persons excepting those especially ex- empted using fuel for heat for any commercial or manufacturing purpos- es that the only safe way to avoid sus- picion of violating spirit and letter of law is to shut up shop. No build- ing can be heated in which liquor is sold, on Monday. Y. M. C. A. buildings allowed open, but no - billiards or bowling. RUSSELL, Fuel Adjuster. Mr. Cunneen announced on Sunday the appointment of the following gen- tlemen as members of the fuel com- mittee fer Killingly. A. W. Williams, Danielson; Alma Forcier, Goodyear; Alcott D. Sayles, East Killingly; El- mer Wood, Attawaugan; W. E. - belle, Dayville; Hector McConnell, Ballouville, T'ois committee will assist in the en- forcement of the fuel conservation or- der. On the whole, Killingly is one of the lucky towns of New England in re- lation to the application of the dras- tie fuel conservation order. Some of { its big plants are entirely exempted {and, except for ths chain of mills ! from East Killingly down to Elmville, its manufacturing concerns are to op- erate on full or part capacity. ' The business men are hardest hit, but are accepting conditions with good grace. LIBERAL GIVING IN 1917, Rev. M. J. Ginet, M. S., or ‘St. James’ Church Reads Annual Report. At the masses at St. James’ church on Sunday, Rev. M. J. Ginet, M 'S, read the annual financial report of the parish and described'the year recent- ly closed as marked by the most. lib- eral giving in the history of the par- ish. The total receipts amounted to $17,- 795.72, a new high record figure. Dur- ing the year many improvements were made to church property, including the redecoration of the church.inte- rior, at a cost of more than $2,500, and the debt was reduced by $2,000. “In ad- dition, $1,000 of parish funds was in-| vested in Liberty bonds. The close of the year found the parish with a net debt of only $17,000, and this amount, it is felt, will be wiped out within a very few years, leaving the splendid church properties free from incumbrance. Father Ginet highly complimented the members of the parish upon the splendid spirit of co-operation and lib- eral giving that characterized their re- lations to their church during the past year and stated that he was profound- ly grateful therefor. The congregation not only surpass- ed all of its previous efforts i con- tributions, but did it during a year fill- ed with the turmoil and never ceas- ing demands upon resources to meet burdens of the war, in the support of which the congregation has made a remarkable record of loyalty and an abundance of work accomplished. A service flag now flown outside the church bears 63 stars, one for each young man of the parish who is in the service, and 5 more are to be add- ;d at once to bring the record up to ate. Father Ginet took occasion Sunday to direct the attention of all his con- gregation to the necessity of comnply- ing without whimpering or restraint to the terms of the fuel conservation order. He urged implicit confidence in the judgment of those who are di- recting the affairs of the nation in this great crisis and sggested that those wro are dealing with the great problems that now congront Ameri- ca know better than the average per- son just what should be done to solve them. FUNERAL. Mrs. Daniel Cooney. The fineral of Mrs. Daniel Cooney was held from her home on the West Side Saturday morning with services at St. James’ church at 9 o’clock. Rev. M. J. Ginet, M. S.,, was celebrant of the solemn high mass of requiem. Rev. John Roux, M. S, deacon and Rev. Fr. Jolliver, M. S, sub-deacon. The music of the mass wis sung by a quartette—J. J. Brennan, Miss Mar- garet Sullivan, Miss Dora Mathieu and Miss Lauretta Henault. The mass was attended by many relatives and friends, iIncluding a number from out of town. The bear- ers were Owen Kelley, Henry Kelley, William Reynolds, John Reynolds, Timothy Callahan and Frank M. Be- dard. Louis E. Kennedy was the fu- neral director. 3 Home on Furlough.
