DANIELSON ere !s something more to be said thie morning about Killingly's roads. This time the protest comes from Goodyear. The “state” highway be- tween Dayville and Goodyear is shot to pieces, and the fact doesn't seem to be worrying anyohé charged with the duty of keeping the town's highways in reasonably good repair. The condi- tion of the highway is, however, & cause of irritation to Goodyear people, who use it practically excluslveli' in getting into and out of the village, which is isolated from steam or trolley lines. A great volume of heavy traf- fic moves over it on account of the (Joodyear Mills company, which must truek in all of its raw materials and fuel and truek out its finished product. This main artery of travel between Goodyear and Dayville, the outlet to practically all points, is in deplorable condition at present. The Rocky Road to Dublin hasn’'t much on it, so far as roughness is concerned. The only ex- cuse, Goodyear people say, that is of- fered for the road being left as it is is that there is much heavy traffic over it. This excuse, or explanation, is re- garded as the best reason in the world Why the road should be put in good condition, for heavy traffic means bus- iness, and busginess means prosperity in the town. The condition of highways through- out Killingly is becoming such a source of aggravation in many quarters that. ther eis sentiment in some quarters of calling a pecial town meeting to dis- cuss the matter. If the appropriations made for highways at the last annual town meeting is not sufficient to keep the main highways of the town in bet- ter condition than they are being kept at present, these citizens say, the town should appropriate mare money, for unless somethi is done, and done immediately, Killingly people wil have a road bill to pay in the not distant future that will make them sit up and take notice. The discontented ones point to the old adage that a stitch in ime saves nine. and that Killingly had better look to its main highways now, while there is shred left of them, than to practically entirely rebuild!} them two or three years hence, Hardly a day pi now but some eitizen asks the press to say some- thing about the condition of this or hat road in Killingly, and there is a wealth of dissatiefaction over what is considered the studied indifference of the state highway department as to giving the people of this section a de- | ent highway from the Rhode Island ine at Little Rest to the state highway at Hampton via Danielson and Hamp- ton- And yet many wonder why there is 80 much unrest and so much dis- satisfaction with conditions a people have to face them today. No more bathing at Quinebaug lake. The new order is effective today and closes to everyone, and permanently, that delightful body of water to which hundreds of bathers from Danielson and vicinity have been in the habit of going each summer for many years. The lake is not closed for any other reason than the very important one that the fine body of water hereafter is to be the resemwoir for the village of Wauregan and eventually, very prob- ably, for other villages of the town of Plainfield. The laving of pipes from the lake to ‘Wauregan, where a big supply tank has been erected for a long time, is very nearly completed and the water will come into use for drinking pur- poses in Wauregan in the not distant future. Under state laws bathing is prohibited in bodies of water used as reservoirs, 80 Quinebaug lake is theres by automatically and legally closed against bathing, as i Alexander's lake, which supplies Goodyear with water. 1t is with regret, it is undérstood, that the order closing the lake to bathers i& put in force, but the action was necessary and had to be taken. Danielson people now have only the rivers left to them for bathing pur- poses. On account of the rivers being treacherous, by reason of winding channels and swift ourrents, many here fear 1o bathe in them, though the boys know where there is many a good swimmin' hole. In St. James’ parish hall Sunday evening the members of the Union St.| John Baftist, in an effort to create a special fund to be used for a banquet of the parish service len, 1 an entertainméf entitled Le de Carillon.

Ade. Perreault Political strings are being pulled, it was stated heére Sunday, in order that the postoffice appointment at Goodyear may be manipulated, if that be possi- ble, to the satisfaction of a few who alwaye want to get their -fingers in that kind of ple., At the present time the Goodyear office is a branch of the Killingly (Dayville) _office. This branch statién was established April 1, 1917, Goodyear's importance as a growing manufacturing community warranting such action. It has been administered from Dayville, as head- quarters, with a clerk in charge at Goodyear, where the office has been established in the store of Alma Ior- cier, who has acted as clerk and who hak been compensated at the rate of $10 per month Goodyear's population has now in- creased to about 1,000 and application has been filled to have the village control its ewn postal facllities, in its own office. That there is sufficient busness there to warrant such action is indicated by the fact that 67 money orders are said to have been written there last week. As it is gonerally known the fee on each siuch order in such an office as is now at Goodyear is 3 cents, and these fees go to the Dayville office. Two applicants for the proposed of- fice have appeared, Almo Foreler, and Mibs Annie Clarie, both of Goodyear. Just why there should be any pol ieal opposition or intarference with Goodyear's effort to get a postoffice of its own is something that Goodyear pesple cannet understand, but there aré thoee in Goodyear who say that | What Causes Wiinkles?

When asked Saturday as to whether the Manhasset Manufacturing com- pany's prunon for permits to erect seven nevi®dwellings indicated a furthéer expansion of#this very suc- cessful concern’s plant here, Agent A. D. Lown said that the company has some plans in mind, but that he was not prepared to discuss them at that time, though he might have some an- nouncement to make dufing the pres- ent week. It has been rumored for sometinie past that the convern has contemplated the expansion of its mill and the erection of about a seore of new dwellings. Upon different occa- sions since it was established here a few years ago this big tire duck con- cern has increased its plant or hous- ing facilities, and it is indicated that it has notgvet stopped growing, some- thing thaf will be great news for Putnam people, who have come to re- gard the concern as one of its great- est industries. Putnam is becoming the Mecca for Worcester boys who leave home to start out to sée the world. Evidently, to their bright young minds, Putnam is the first and best place to see, for they seem to flock here. The week end found another group of five here, ar- riving in the early morning hours on a train of side-door Pullmans. De- training in the northerly seetion of the city they started to limber up with a walk about the vieinity and it was not long before the attention of Night Officer Laird was directed to them. He started to round them up and they started to run, and were halted after a shot was fired, not at them, to bring them to a standstill. They were taken to the police sta- tion and heid for the night. Telephone communiocation with Worcester verified their statements a to who their relatives are, but the relatives, excepting in one case, were not strong on sending carfares and united on the proposition that it would be a good lesson for the boys to walk home, a distance of about 25 miles, or find other means of getting there on their own hook, as they had found means of getting out. Peter Fournier, the father of one of the boys, came after him, The voungsters varied in years from 12 to 15. Captain Bulger learned from them that they are Worcester newsies and that they had had been making enough money for a week past to loiter about Worcester, buying lunches and sleeping in barns and out-buildings. Finally they decifed to travel and boarded a freight train, Putnam first stop. - Police in this section have been ask- to he on the lookout for a black horse, stolen during Saturday night from the barn of Dudley Williams at Moos- up. The hrase hs no shoes on the hind feet. This is the first horse- stealing case reported in this section in a lang time. Automobiles are the favorite attraction nowadays of thieves who take things té be used in trasportation. Night Officer Ernest Chandler gets the credit for the most extraordinary “arrest” of the season in this city. His prisoner was a cow found ambling around the bustness section in the wee sma’ hours o' the morning. Round- ers who were out late, and in a bad way after a hard night were convine- ed that they were seéing the appari- tion of Old Demon Rum, making the first of the nightly rounds that it is said will be his lot after the first of July. It was ascertained that the cow is the property of Josenh Maynard, and that she had strayed away from her anchozage and wound up with a trip downtown. The Putnam Country club has sent out a general invitation to Bastern Connecticut golfers to come to the course on Thursday of this week and they are well informed as to what is being done by some politicans repre- senting the minority party in this town. The police were asked here on Sun- day t0 be on the lookout for a horse stolen during the night from the barn of Dudley Williams at Moosup. The horse is black, is without shoes on the hind fect, and was hitched into an old democrat style wagon. Captain Roscius H.

F. university at Beaume, France. aptain Back form- erly was a student in Killingly schools, while making his home here with his uncle, Judge Harry E Back. Frank M. Bedard, collector, is engag- ed in collecting the taxes of the Brooklyn fire district (West Side.) The tax is 2 1-2 mills, a half mill in- crease this year to meet the increased cost of an all-night lighting service. Under the direction of Irveing W. Davis, a drive will be conducted here this week to secure members for the Boy Scouts of America. In this move- ment Mr. Davis will have the coopera- tion of an efficient team of workers and he hopes to more than meet the quota of members that this place is expected to procurc. The drive here is in conjunction with the country- wide effort to increase the Scout mem- betship. Many Danielson people were at Cen- tral Village Saturday afternoon and evening to attend the splendid Wel- come Home celebration arranged by the people of that village ‘in honor of its service men. Lieut. Ira A. Warren has favored the Bohemian club, of which he is a member, with copies of one of the racy pictorial reviews that has such a wide circulation in France, where he is still stationed. After looking the copies over the Bohemians were a unit in declaring that the lid must be off on this ¢lass of publications ‘“over there.” Nothing like them is to be found in this country. A Danielson attorney was seen to smile as he stood reading a letter in the postoffice. “Let me read what pleases you so much that I may smile, 100, said a friend. The attorney handed his friend the luemer and the curious one read these n “You were the attorney for two con- cerns that fleeced us out of quite a lit- tle money. 'We felt that a man with your brains who has engineered such deals could work oufs out Successfully.” And it may be added that the at- torney now has a client on his list and a nice retainer for a starter. i Miss Emma Ross died on Sunday at | the home of her wister, Mrs. Rose War- | ren, of 26 Hawkins street, Danielson. | Miss Ross was the daughter of the late | Wjlliam C. and Hannah Ross, formerly | of "Killingly. ¥or many yeat she con- ducted a millinery business in Ux- bridge, Mass, where she has many friends; but for several years past she has resided with her gister in Daniel- son. Miss Ross has been in failing health for the past year with heart trouble.

At Eastford on Saturday funeral The services were held for Walter Darling, who lost his life t Tuesday night when he went bathing, alone, in the pond at the Tatem handle factory in Eastford. It was not until hours after the accident that the body was recovered. The young man, 27 years ofage, was the son of Albert Darling, by whom he is survived, with two bréothers, George and William. The heautiful mountain laurel, one of the most gorgeous of New Eng- land’'s wild flowers, is now in full bloom in many seétions of this part of Windham county. The blooms may be taken, but it is illegal to uproot the plant, A series of thunder sweépt over this section cloek’ Saturday evening hroke the hot spell that has red the people of Putnam for nearly a week. At 5 o'- clock the temperature stood at 85 de- grees in the sun, but a little more than an hour later had been driven down to 60, a drop of 25 degrees. The wind then shifted into the northwest and held the mercury at a low figure all through Sunday. Miss Katherine Byrne of the District ursing association acknowledged with satisfaction on Saturd: the prompt response to the ass tion's appeal for a tent to be used in pro- viding a cool, comfortable shelter for a Putnam woman, mother of five chil- dren, who is desperately ill with tu- berculosis, the family have been prac- tically destitute when its plight was storms that at about 6 o'- se discovered a few days ago. A public| request for the use of a tent was not made until Friday afternoon and early Saturday forenoon one was proferred.
