The third near-holiday in Danielson proved o be much like the two that have gone before. Hundreds of fac- tory employes kept at work, being employed in manufacturing for - the government, but the business of the town was closed and quiet.

Given 180 Days-for Assault. In the town court Monday morning Judge W. Fenmer Woodward sentenced Russell Neal to serve 180 days for having assaulted Diep Pariah, another ‘worker at a local manufacturing plant, where the affair between the men oc- curred. The case, which developed last week, and was adjourned, has attracted much attention. Pariah, still showing the marks of the severe battering he re- ceived in the encounter with Neal, wis in the courtroom Monday morning. Suffering from Cold. The coal shortage in Danielson has become so acute that many homes are being heated entirely, so far as §s pos- sible, through the use of wood. To those who have heaters sthis causes difficulties that are hard to overcome, and it is also true in other homes where there are no heaters, and the difficulties of heating are greater, chil dren and old people in Some cases are suffering with the cold. Looking for Gas Leak. ‘Water and Dyer streets were cut off from gas supply during Monday be- cause the service was discontinued in that section while employes of the lighting company .searched for a ‘leak that has been causing difficulty in-the neighborhood. . It is believed that there is a break in the main, probably caused Dy the frost, for quantities of gas have Dbeen escaping. At the junction af ‘Water and Cottage streets. where an excavation has been made by the men working on the job, four feet of frost ‘wae found. An Unfortunate Situation. The fact that there were unpleasant incidents during the basketball game between the teams of Killingly and Putnam High schocls at Putnam las* Friday evening is a matter of' con- siderable interest among the members of the student body and persons ‘n- terested in the local school. It is re- garded by many ar particularly un- fortunate as affecting the relations, athletically, between the echools, the basketball teams of which have had some rough sessions during the past three or four years. Damage from Frozen Pipes. Heavy damage t> plumbing in new dwellings at Goodyear Heights and at Industrial place has been caused by the freezing of pipes and other parts of the equipment. At many places throughout Danielson, as frost sinks deeper and deeper into the ground, feeding pibez leading from the mains in the streets into buildings have frozen or are freezing, in some cases entirely cutting off the water supply and.in other cases cutting the supply down to.e dribble. This con- dition of things is causing difficulties from which relief is not easy. Leaving for Maine. Rev, and Mrs. Frnest A.
