Some of the dogs will not reach their destinations until the end of the week and will be cared for meanwhile Examinations will be continued on Tuesday, however, in order to make certain of having the requisite number by employes of the express compan- ies that have them in charge. The shipping directions show that some of the dogs have been purchased by members of some of the best known families in the country. The shipment of dogs was a valuable one, representing several hundreds of dol- lars. 5 Mr. Baer now has about 80 police dogs at his kennels near East Kil. lingly, all of the breed that the gov- ernment will use in assisfing Bed Cross workers on the western front during the fighting of the coming open season. Coal Shortage in Brooklyn. Residents of the town of Brooklyn are facing a difficult situation in so far as being able to get a supply of coal is concerned. The people of the neighboring town, part of which is really Danielson, have for years made Danielson yards the base for securing their® supply of coal. There isn't a coal vard within the limits of the town of Brooklyn. Yet if a resident of Brookiyn applies for eoal here he ca not be given any under the rules-of the fuel administration and has to zet one consolation in the situation is that there isn't any coal for sale in Danielson, so Danielson ucople are s hadly off as those who live across the bridge. Some residents of Brooklyn, how: ever, have considered calling -the at- tention of State Fuel Administrator Russell to the relation of Brooklyn to Danielson, as to_the system under which Brooklyn has been supplied with coal in the' past .and-seeking a rear- rangement of the order now in force. Their plea will be to have Brooklyn includeq in the Danielsen district. No coal arrived here Thursday and no promise of any arriving in the near future was made, though a car may arrive at any time. Satisfaction at' Rising Temperature. It was remarkable to watch the in- terest shown Thursday by hundreds of people in the thermometers that are to be found on every hand and to hear the words of thanksgiving that marked the sharp upwara rise of tem- perature, At Woodward’s: Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock the reading was 46 de- grees, the highest recorded in the past two months. The efféct of the pro- tracted period of intense cold was shown by the manner in which frast coatings began to appear on bulld- ings as the temperature mellowed and even frame structures were covered with a coating of white. | The promise of rajn, too. hrought better courage to many mill workers, Who realize that unless the water sup- ply now available for power is in- creased in the very near future there must be a further curtailment of op- eration of big plants that get much’ power from water. - This, too, in the face of an_ avalanche of orders, the filling of which is urgently desired. More Stars for Flag. At least a half dozen more stars will be added to the service flag at St. James’ church as the result of calilng. to camp the quota that will go out February 23, or immediately thereaf- ter., Quarantine rules that are contin- uing in force are preventing boys who are at Camp Devens from getting home so frequently.

AUXILIARY PU MP!,NG STATION To Be Established. by the Board of Water Commissioners, Members of the hoard of water com- missioners have taken action to in- crease the city’s supply of water. This is to be accomplished by the estah lishing of an auxiliary pumping sta- tion, which will be located on land owned by Louis Lucier and bordering upon the Little River, from which the regular supply for the city’s maing is drawn. A big motor and pump has been ob- tained by the water commissioners and the apparatus will quickly be housed in a’ temperary structure and put into operation. Confldence isexpressed that the auxiliary pumping station will con- tribute largely toward increasing the city's reserve supply of water There was general elation in the city Thursday over the rapid rise in temperature, which ran up as high as 45 degrees, and started a thaw -that is long overdue. For the first time in weeks there was water under foot and amf the sun set Thursday night the wind was in the east, the sky aver- cast and a promise of rain. There are at ‘least 200 homes and business places, however, that were without water ‘on Thursday. This Wwas riot because there was no water, Lut because service pipes were frozen solid. _The city's thawing apparatus, though working steadily, is unable te catch .up with the demands that are being filed ‘for its use, OBITUARY Joseph Parker, Joseph Parker. 71, who came here from Adams, Mass., for a visit with his daughter, Mrs. Regina Ravenelle, is dead at her home.

Big Drifts in Suburbs, Strange as it may seem to peeple who have not ventured outside the city limits, highways leading into Put- nam are badly drifted in many places, the result of the gale of Monday.

At the annual borough mesting to be held in April the electors of Dan- jelson will be asked to pass upon the matter of voting an appropriation for the purchase of an autoniobile chemi- cal truck, The rapid growth of Dan- ielson is regarded by those who have studied this fact in relation to the matter of fire protection as imposing on the borough the desirebility of In- inelude in his arnual report a recom- mendatien for the purchase of an au- tomobile chemical truck, preferably one equipped with pumping apparatus. ‘Teachers Asked to Aid.

At least ten or a dozen teachers are wanted to give thejr ser- vices on' Saturday of this week. This Patriotic service was recently urged upon teachers by President Wilson in a special communieation.

Danielson has been excsedingly for- tunate in its freedom from fire losges over the period of a deghde, but 1t can- not expect always to be immune from the ravages of fires and preparin against the day when such disasters may come is regarded in many quar- Iters of the borough as good business judgment. Danielson- today has seme zood fire- fighting apparatus and a very efiicient fire department, made up, in large part, of men who have been long: iden tified with the service and who have at their head a very able chief engi- neer in the person of A. P. Woodward. The fact remains, however, that Danielson has grown very consider- ably within the past five years and further important -growth s just ahead.
