Connecticut leads all other states in the country in work done in communi- ty. cenning, according o a report re- ceived, Thursday by the Committee of Food Supply of the State Council of Defense, from the United States De- partment of Agriculture. A fotal of 247 quarts were canned in Connec- ticut by community plants. The stats of Washington stands second with 18.- 691 quarts and Wisconsin third with 11,362 quarts. The report shows forty-seven.such canneries in' the countr: Eleven of these were in_ this state, located in New Canaan, Lakeville, East Berlin, ‘Winsted, Bethiehem, Midale- Haven, Hartford, Old Lyme and Torrington. The total spoilage in the TUnited States was slightly over ofe per cent Th2 causes of the difficulty are es. plained as follows in the report: Spoilage due, first to jars which had stood for 24 to 48 hours after being sterilized; second, to cutting corn on towels, using same for several hours, and taking up juice and water 4n which towels were soaked, and third, in cases of poor rubber ring: MARRIED IN PARIS.

Improvemests Are Felt to Be Neces- = sary as a War Measure. the officials of the submarine base, the Norwich war - pureau, the Norwich | Chamber of Commerce and others. to | have put in first.class condition im mediately the state highway leading from Norwich to Groton on the east| side of the Thames river. This ef-| fort is being, made as it is felt to be a war necessity. The navy officials | have long felt the need of a better road Detween Norwich and the sub- marine base. One of the meeds is to allow ‘for the operation of a motor truck ” service between Norwich and Groton. The development of the sub- marine base is so far advanced that it is certainly apparent that provision is being made for the establishment of a ‘small. city there. ¥ Building- after building of the: bun- galow and concrete type is fast rising at the Dbase, and ‘more ave to follow, and the transportation facilities to the base are being taxed as never before. Tt is understood that the proposed improv. fients can be miade at a com paratively low otitlay, as there is at the present time a stretch - of onl about four miles that needs-any real attention. Four miles of-the road from Groton to ‘the navy vard have already been improved, there-is about threc miles of gravel road that needs shaping up, and four miles- of poor: road which needs gravel surface to put it in bet~ ter condition. Several miles south of Norwich on this highway there is a drawbridge which will need some attention. This bridge runs across Pogquetanuck cove. It could be shortened considerably by building out a roadway at either end. In that, section the soil is of such a nature that it can easily be extended into the, cove. -The entire project has been en- dorsed by Congressman R. P. Free- man, who is a letter.to Herbert R. Branche, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, says: I agree with you that the highway between the submarine base and Norwich should be put in first class conditlon, and have in com- pliance with your request written Commissioner Bennett to that effecl. The Marlin-Rockwell corporation, who have 2 branch plant on Frankiin street, formerly the old Hopkins & Allen’ shop, endorse the project. It would he a great’convenience for their trucks which from time to time are ‘fnsy moving machine supplies, etc., from New Haven to Norwich and vice versa.
