STANDARD OIL CO. of NEW YORK On TG CEm——— DANIELSON ‘The members of the Greek Ortho- dox community of Danielson have is- sued a formal appeal for funds to meet the cost of erecting Trinity church, which is being completed on Water street. Contributions, large or small, will be welcomed by the com- mittee, and that many will give al- ready has been indicated by generous gifts of money. It is hoped to raise between $3.000 and $4,000, so that the church may be free from debt from the first. Those who subscribe $50 will be termed Donors, those who give $150 will be termed Benefactors and those who give $250 will be termed Greater Eenefactors, and their names will be placed on a marble tablet in the church for perpetual commemoration. It is planned also to hold a yearly service in the church for all of these. The organization of the church so- ciety has been duly and regulatl; made and its finances are being con- ducted in legal form. Gifts already made to the church society include $150 from Rev. Richard Hatch, whose home is in Brooklyn, and $250 from the Connecticut Mills company. Mill men here are pondering deeply over what is to become of their or- ganizations in case the government * | continues to draft as heavily as it has in the past few months from among] their skilled personnel. Already the manufacturers are facing employe problems that are mighty difficult *of solution, and the prospect is that cop- ditions will be worse before they are better. Heretofore the government has declined to grant deferred classi- fications only in rare instances tc skilled mill workers, and as a result such skilled workers are very scarce ness men are also, lesser degree, facing the on. Girls are now being sought for work in grocery stores and in many er lines of mercantile endeavor that heretofore have been exclusively oc- cupied by men, thig statement apply- inz to Danielson and vicinity. To many housekeepers, the rule *hat obligates them to buy as much of substitutes as they do of wheat flour seems wasteful one, inasmuch as these ordinarily prudent hqusewives are accumulating heavy stocks of ce- reals of various kinds. and much of it cannot be used and is going to vaste. Limiting the amount of flour regarded as entirely acceptable, un- der the circumstances that force the ruling, but why, they ask, must we buy -stuff that we cannot use and let it spoil on our shelves; it might be of value somewhere.

Namlin, formerly eclerk in the Putnam inn, is being held at Little Rock, Ark., for extradition to Connecticut. Namlin will be returned here to face an allegation of abscond- ing from Putnam, on April 21, of this \ Hamlin had been employed at the inn only a week when he disappeared, taking with him all the money that was in the safe that night. He was on duty until midnight. It has since been learned that after he went off duty he was taken to Providence by a driver from g local garage and though every effort was made to locate him after the money loss was discovered, on the following morning, he could not be found and undoubtedly made his way out of Providence within a} short time after arriving there. Hamlin came here through the rec- ommendation of a Boston concern. Since he has been away search has been quietly going on for him in va- rious parts of the country, and it was stated on Monday that he eventually was located and his arrest brought about through letters which he had been writing to a young woman who is doing Red Cross work in i distant v and who, evidently, he had gotten communication with through the of h medium of some publication carrying marriage correspondence notices. Tt is expected that Hamlin will be brought to Putnam in the near future.

It was rumored that an out-of-town speaker was to make an address, but, from what the police could learn, there was no attraction other than dancing.
