DANIELSUN Over 200,000 Quarts of Conserved Food Pledged Already—Two Volun- téer as Student Nurses—Post Office in New Quarters—Sergeant George Brunnelle Displays Unique War Belt—Ward-Haney Engagement An. nounced. Mrs. Rienzi Robinson said Thursday that women of Danielson Kave sighed pledges for over 15,000 quarts of ves- etables and other food products to be canned during the pfesent season, as an aid to building tip the country’s 00d reserves. Goodyear women have pledged themselves t0 can more than 2,000 quarts, so thesé two comfiunt- tlés of Killingly have total pledges in excess of 20,000 quarts. The fown's apportionment of what Connectiént is| to do is 50,000. Town's Expenses to Be Offset by Tax Returns. During the present weels the select- men of the town of Killingly have been going over the town’s financfal records for the past twelve months, and are encouraged by the prospect that the expenditures for the fiscal year that closed Wednesday will be within the amount of money that the tax rate should produmce. Of course, exact figures are rot yet availablé, but thé indications are that the town may have as much as $2,000 on the right side of the ledger this year: This will be very pleasifiz news to many tax- pavers and a demonstration of the wisdom of advancing the tax rate, for Killingly's debt has been increasinz vear by year until it has’ reached a total altogether too large to please mahy prudent meén among the citi- zens who have to pay Killingly’s bills. Two Student Nurses Volunteer. On regorts up to Thursday, Daniel- son alreddy has produced t volun- teers for the Student Nurses' Reserve. It was stated Thursday that reports on the effort to get volunteers for this service were mot complete for all pf the communities of Killingly, but that several more applications are looked for.

Work on the installation of the big new turntable and roundhouse to be constructed in thé Putnam railroad yard is held up on account of the preéssure of busifiess on contractors, it is said. 1t has been said that a large sum of money, estimated by some at ds high as half a million dol- lars, has been sét aside for improve- ments to bé made in and around the Putnant’ yards, but the contract is not being sousht because contractors find so_much war work to' do. The monster “30” hundred and “32” hundred class locomotives that are noW being used to haul freight over the main line through this city are so long that they cannot be turned around here, and have to go through t6 Worcester or Hartford. This is one reason why there is urgent need of_the new turn table here. The force in the local yard is rush- ed with work, which has increased, it is said, by 50 per cent. since the Unitéd ' Stdtes entéred the war, Put- nam is ome of the eight principal transtér points on the New Haven syStem, and this means that a tre- miéfidous amount of freight passes through the local yard. “Work or Fight” Examination Today A number of registered men have been summoned to appear here today ifi_ order that tie local board may e dmine as to whether fifey aré prop- erly employed in accordance with the provisions of the “work cf fight” rule. The pressure of other Lusiness upon the board has prevented copsideration of the rule ufitil now.
