The employes of the Atwood Ma- chine Company, Willimantic branch, were awarded one of the eight German helmets sent to the general commit- tee of the local fifth Victory Liberty loan campaign, to be used as prizes to ! stimulate interets in putting Willi- mantic over the top, in the recent campaign. W. C. Norris presented {the helmet, in a witty speech, saying that the helmet was rather small ow- ing to the- fact that - the German heads were small, and the heads of the Americans being so much larger was probably the reason why the Ger- mans never reached Paris. This award was made to the employes of the lo- cal concern which subscribed the largest amount of bonds, pro rata, in the Victory loan. The Atwood Ma- chine company employes number -80 men and two women and they sub- scribed a total of $3500 or $58.33 per erson, which was the highest pro ata of any local concern that com- peted for this helmet. H. T. Bacon re- cited a short poem, in connection with the . helmet presentation which made a hit with the employes.

The Scissors Test Proves That » Norwalk Tubes Do Not Rip The case hinged on.a lease which it was claimed had been executed be- tween Mahan and Parker, but wt is not now in possession of Mr. P ker, who claimed it hed disappeared from a desk in a drawer where he had kept it. Attorney Gallup opencd for the plaintifft. Mr. Gallup said that the whole question hinged on whether or not there was in existen a lease from April 1, 1315, for a period of five years. - He contended that Parker cannot recall the conditions of such a ilease, only as to length of time and amount of rental. He said that in a matter involving ha $110,000 for a ten year contract couldn’t see why Parker should lea: such a paper around without having it recorded. He argued that if there had been such an important document that - he would have had it recorded immediately. 2 He gives as his excuse that Mahan asked him to not to record it for a while, Such a request would have had o ‘Licndency to hasten placing it on rec- jord. Parker says he left the lease in his desk where many people had access to it, and why didn’t he put it in a safe place? Because he had no such doc- ument, It makes no difference what Man- ager Richard Law told the witnesses about a lease. The facts must deter- mine the matter. Law had used the term lease, but he never admitted that it was signed. Attorney Geary in behalf of the de- jfendant argued at considerable length, going into much of the testimony and dealing particularly with the testi- mony and dealing particularly with the testimony of former Manager Richard law concerning whom he “The change from New York to ew , London air must have seriously mpaired his memor “Law testified that after Mr. Par- wer had signed the lease he took it to Mr. Mahan and has not seen it since, became of it?

No criticism of him in his i failure to have the lease recorded can |be too severe, but he confided in Ma- han and in his manager Law. “If the hotel was ‘Totten’ as is Mr. Mahan's reason for wanting to oust Mr. Parker,y who is to blame, the manager or the proprietor? Was Law to have an increase in salary for | maintaining a ‘rotten’ hotel? | “Mr. Phelan, the Boston man who {arranged to t: over the hotel from Mr. Parker, testified that Mahan told him that he wouldn't consent to it be- cause Parker had not done certain things which he had agreed fo do. Mr. Phelan testified that he said that he would do those things and Mr. Ma- han said that he would not consent to a transfer as he wanted Parker to do these things. Mr. Phelan also said that Mr. Mahan insisted on having Law retained as manager.” ‘Attorney Avery made the concluding 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. | AUSTRALIAN AVIATOR STARTS | ON TRANS-ATLANTIC FLIGHT .
