Possibility of Bringing Transmission Line From Eastern Pe‘ku Company Up West Side of Thames River to Kitemaug— MlyCrouRiverntTh‘uPoiM—Kibmuc‘PMy Purchased. Nfll\flfifi WLLETIH/ THW{GIH M.Y l& 1918 MAYSIWTHIBHTENSIBNMRES — The purchase or the property at Kitémaug owned by Willlam B. Wal- ker, president of the American Ther- mos Bottle company, by the Eastern Connecticut Power Company brings to light the fact that there may .be a possibility of the high tension line from the company’s plant at Montville rupning up the west side of the Thames river and crossing the rivér at this point rather than to cross the river directly from the company’s plant. F When asked about the proposed change in the live President R. W. Perkins stated that while nothing defi- nite had been decided, but that, the matter was under consideration, as a cheaper means of transmitting the power to the country north of the plant. If this plan js adopted it will be the means of sav nf a large amount of mM as it will only be mecessary to erect two steel structures for the wires tead of three as is planned at the plant. At Kitemaug the river is narrow, not being muech over two or three hun dred feet in width and there will be no neéd of a steel structure in the middle of the river. Towers on the Kitemaug side amd the Fort Decatur sides of the river will enly have te be forty or .| fifty feet high to give proper height to the wyres ever the channel of the river. The land at this place on both sides of the river is high thus affording an excellent place for the erection of the towers. The large steel structuws which has been planned to be erected in the mid- dle of the Thames river epposite the power plant will cost in the neigh- berhood of $16.000 and by eliminating this structure the company will save a considerable amount and also save the neceesity of keeping the structure NEW ORDERS RECEIVED BY DRAFT BOARDS Calls For Limited Service Men Men With Technical Training. and .

WAR PROGRAM | Suggested at Session of Danbury State . Summer School for Teachers, .Om of the interesting meetings at the Danbury summer school for teach- ers Tuesday afternoon was about the war program which has been .urged by State Secretary C, D. Hine and the supervising agents. H, O. Clough of Rockville in a lecture enlightened the teachers about this work. He made the following bvroposals for a three- hour scheol session: Open with a flag salute; sing patriotic somgs: teach memeory selections and make them in- telligible in the reading period; read war material and reading matter that teaches patriotism that is worth while; either a lesson in civics or a lesson in hygiene based on the events of the war; physicaiexercises; current events —~there should be map drills in this connection; comments of teacher about the conservation and production of food, thrift stamps and other propa- ganda. The purpese of this war program is to teach such peints eof the war that are worth whiie and train for intelli- gent eitizenship and intelligent patri- ir otism. < Schoals under state supervision took hold of this matter last year with a Food deal of zéal.

The current league leaflet says: WARN PASSEN In this intention our hely father, RIDING Pope Benedict XV, orings forward a question that the chureh has much at heart, the solution of existing diffi- culties between emplovers and work- ers. The interests of the emplover and the worker are identical, and. if they do not work in harmony, both must suffer. Avarice on the part of em- ployers and dishonesty and unjust de- mands on the part of the workers are the most frequent ‘causes of labor troubles. The solufion of the labor question by perfect concord between ‘the em- ployer and the worker can only ceme when each understands clearly that their mutual relations must be found- ed on justice and charity. There are obligations on the part of each, and it is for a more perfect fuifilling of these obligations that we are request- ed to pray. The employer must realize that his workers are his brothers, because we are all children of God: that wealth is intended by God not merely for our own private pleasures, but for the good of others. It is a sin of injustice not to pay a fair wage, sufficient for the worker to support and educate his family in true Chbristian spirit. .
