A small number of Killingly men who have been in the service at Camp Devens reached their homes here Saturday night, hocorably dis- charged. December was ushered in by snow squally in this section, but the day was bright and cold. Representative Cosmer A. Young, who is Florida, will return in time for the opening on the legislature of 1919, on the first Tuesday in Janu- ary.

The ss on the uul‘dln" and xner:‘ha'mlhe which was very general in character and included groceries, was total, as Mr. Gay is understood 1o have been without insurance' and may amount to as much as $3,000. Aid was hurried to the fire by the v.'ll"ect gan Attawaugan company and the men that came succeeded in saving near- by dwellings from beins consumed. The loss is & severe one for Mr. Gay, who risked his life by entering the burning structure in ovder that he might save as much as possible from being destroyed. The building that was destroyed was a frame structure in which Mr. Gay Had done business for years. Though much is being said now about giving a recaption to Killingly soldiers who are returming to civil life, the idea seems to prevail that it would be better to wait for several months, until all the men have re- turned, ineluding those overseas, and then to have an affair of magnitude in their honor. It is expected that sew- eral hundred veterans of this war will be in the Memorial day parade next vear. 5 Women here are interested in the announcement that a demonstration A. Faust, Mrs. E. H.

Private “Mike"” Warren, Newport News, was at his home here for the week end. He has been overseas on special duty and expects to make an- other trip upon his return to his base. Allen Averill of Brown university has been spending a few days with relatives at Pomfret Center. Rev. Edwin A, Blake, Brookiyn, preached at the service at the Con- gregational chruch Sunday. It is said that activities of business interests in towns aleng the line of the Putnam division of the Shore Line Electric Railway company is likely to result in procuring a more satisfactory service than the present limited ar- rangement. At the sharp turn in the state high- way near the David Clark place one of the well known tire manufacturing companies is erecting a big sign that will warn of the danger spot, where some accidents have occurred. Cheering soldiers who paseed through this eity Saturday afternocen and eveninz were happy over having been mustered out of the service. They were en route to their homes. Mrs. W. J. Bartlett, as special pro- bation officer, was giving attention Saturday to a case like several others that have required her attention re- eently, invelving the welfare of a young woman. With the arrival of December, gro- cers are of the opinfon that they will be able to secure large allotments of sngar, which has been very scarce here for several months. In the churches of Putnam Sunday Tood Administrator Herbert Hoover's plea for further conserwation of food m the interest of milliens of hungry FEuropeans was read to the congrega- tions. Private A..J. Auger, son of Mr. and AMrs. Frank Auger. is one of the Put- nam boys whe learned what real fight- ing between this city and the Rhode Island capital. The town of Glocester voted no-license in November, for the first time in many years. William E. Hill, chief of police at Everett, Mass, was the principal speaker Sunday afternoon at the an- nual lodge of sorrow of Putnam lodge of Elks. ‘The service, held in the or- ganization’s home, was conducted by officers of the lodge. Music was by Fay’s orchestra. There were many members present from Danielson, ‘Webster, Pomfret and other places within the jurisdiction of the local lodge. Automobilists here are receiving new markers for their machines from the state automobile department. For pleasure cars these markers are white with black figures, the abbreviation Conn., and the figures 1919 appearing this year under the registration num- ber, not on the end of the markers, as is the case this year. Persons whol up. ed, have received the markers have been warned not to display Jan. 1. Schools in Putnam, which have been closed during the Thanksgiving recess, will resume their sessions today and will continue for three weeks, when they will again close for the Christmas holidays. Mr. and Mrs. Walden Wright of New Haven spent the week end here with relatives. Mr. Wright, formerly city engineer of Putnam, is with the Winchester Arms company of New Haven, his home city. A canvass among business men of this city demonstrates that many of them feel great uncertainty as to the wisdom of President Wilson going to Europe, while others are openly op- posed to his doing so. It is said that influenza cases are few and far between in this city at the present time. Clear and colder weather is believed to have aided in improving the health situation. The movement of freight through the Putnam railroad yard continues to be heavy, keeping a large force of men at work handling it. Putnam is one of the eight: principal transfer points on the New Haven system. Putnam people who have boys in the gervice and who have been allowed government compensation as depend- ents of these soldiers continue to complain that the government is very glow in making payment to them. In some cases this has resulted in dis- tress. A large audience is expected to greet State Food Administrator Robert Sco- ville when he speaks in Red Men's hall here next Triday afternoon at 1.30. Mr. Scoville will make his first address in this part of the state sinc ehe has been filling his present office. He is coming here under the auspices of the Wind- ham County Farmers’ association.
