Danielson relatives of mutered men who are to be called intp service will be at Putmam Wednesday noon to bid farewell to the men as they depart for Camp Devens. The plan to apply for a city charter for Danielson was not approved Sat- urday by a number. of Danielson men of prominence who heard of the mat- ter. On the contrary, some advocated the abolishment of the borough form of government for the plan of doing business just as the town of Killing- ly. Many “found no more good in the planting of children's gardens during 1917 than to ridicule the whole pro- gram, but there is new evidence, to support all that has been accumulated, to show that children's gardens help increase the food supply and that there should be an increased number of them this year. FUNERAL. % Edward Duffy. At_the undertaking rooms of Louis E. Kennedy, Furnace street, at (.30 Saturday afternoon, funeral ' services for Bdward Duffy, who died at Day- ville, were conducted by Rev. Albert Jepson of St. Alban's church. Friends acted as bearers, Burial was in West- l,fleld cemetery. Few Recruits for Merchant Marin Few recruits are being - obtained here for the merchant marine service, although this branch of the govern- ment's organizations intended to win the war is one of the most important. A. W, Williams has been appointed recruiting officer for Danielson and vicinity. Mr. Williams has received 2 number of inquiries relative to the service, some of these coming from Norwich, but up to Saturday no re- cruits had been obtained. . This seems peculiar/in view of the fact that there are scores of young men in this and surrounding towns who during the past year have tried to enlist in the navy but have failed to meet the physical requirements and have been rejected for service. If these young men, even if they are registrants in Class 1, are still ambi- tious to serve Uncle Sam on the sea; and they have not been already certi- fied for service, they can get permis- sion from the local board of this dis- trict to go into the merchant marine service, where they can discharge their patriotic’ obligations to the govern- ment with as much satisfaction to themselves and to the country as they can in the army. The government needs 50,000 men to man the ships of its new merchant fleets, which are being launched at shipyards on many points of the At- lantic and Pacific coasts. The men| who enlist for the new merchant ma-] rine service will be really serving in the navy, for the ships will be under the control of and operated by the governiment. Men who sign up here will be sent to Newport for a 30 days' period of training and then will be sent into active service. There will be no long waits in the merchant merine branch before gefting a chance to do some- thing of real value in the war. These ships will be in command of experi- 'enced officers and will have naval gun crews aboard, so they will be in thé nature of ships of war, able to defend themselves and to put up a stiff fight against any submarine that may ven= ture to dttack them. Danielzon registrants in Class 1 have passed their physical examina- tions for army service in sufficlent number to assure the fact that more than 100 stars may comprise the total that will appear on the service flag of St. James' church by early summer. This is a record of which the nearly 3,000 members of the parish are very proud, and the spirit of those that remain behind assures that another hundred, and yet another, will be add- ed to the flag if need be to aid making ' victory certain, that liberty may be triumphaht in ‘the world. Members of the 'Workabit club. held a meeting in the vestry of the Con- gregational church Saturday after- noon, and Miss Charlotte Embleton, county demonstrator of methods of preparing war menus,” was in attend- ance. Clifford H. Starkweather, ¢hairman ace Turner, superintendent of schools, were in Hampton to address a grange meeting relative to investments in war stamps, -the baby bonds that are to help Uncle Sam and the allies win the war. LOCAL MEN ESCAPE INJURY But Townspeople Are Stirred by News That 102d Infantry is in the Trenches, Killingly people were thrilled ‘Sun. lday by the announcement that the 1024 infantry is in the trenches on the western front and that some of its brave members have fallen victims of war.

To the Residents of Dayville, Elm- ville, Goodyear, Attawaugan and Ballouville: There is no reason for you to fear a coal shortage, in spite of the unjust and illegal action of F. E. Cunneen, chairman of the Killingly fuel commit- tee, who diverted to Danielson two carloads of hard coal, consigned to the Dayville Grain and Coal Company. Mr. Wolfe of this firm spent much time, effort and money by going direct to the largest miners in this country to sequre these cars, and although they were snatched away from him in such an unjust way, which action was con- demned by State Fuel Administrator Russell, he will again endeavor to get coal in his determined and, thus far, successful way. The shippers of these cars have promised to send other cars at once, in their place. In the meantime, we have unloaded, on Saturday, 100 tons of coal in our bins %o take care of im- mediate demands. We wish to an- nounce ‘that we will accept orders for next winter's coal, beginning April 1 and we urge all of our friends and patrons to place their orders early.

Mr. Flour was blinded and suf- fered much pain.. He was rushed to the office of Dr. W. H. Judson and given treatment. Later Dr. Judson said that he did not believe Flour's eyes are permanently injured. Flour is a selected man and was to have left for Camp Devens Wednesday with the contingent going out from this district.
