BARRED ROCKS FIRST IN 18TH WEEK AT STORRS In the eighteenth week of the lay- ink eomtest at Storrs, competition was nearly as keen as in the previ- sus week. Two pens of Barred Rocks hoth frem Westhamptod Beach, L. I, and entered by Jules F. Francais and Oneck Farm, tied for first pace with # eggs each, Thus these two pens contest can supply few or no eggs for this purpose. Hence, it is sug- gested that these interested in the preservatian of eggs for home us¢ can secure a suitable product by in- quiring at their loeal Farm Bureau.

BANIELSON ktmrnsy Warren D.' Chase, form- erly of Duielwn. is president of the -Rowe Calk and Chalk company now in the hands of a receiver. Edwin S, Todd, of Southingten, has been nam- ed as permanent receiver for.the eon- cern by Judge Thomas of the nited States distriet court, gitting at New Haven, upon certificate filed by the company. The company has been em- loying abeut 200 hands in its fac- rnry at Southington and during the present week about half this number were let go. Receiver Todd is queted as saying that no statement of the assets and liabilities had been prepared for him, but that the management had assured him that the assets of the company were sufficient to meet the demands of creditors. - It was stated in New Haven, fol- lowing the court preceedings, that the action taken was a friendly one and for the protection of sthe creditars, to conserve the assets until a fair ameunt eould be realized from their sale; that thé nature of the winter was net favorable to the conduct of the business; that it was impossible at times to secure raw materjal, and that other ‘conditiens compelled the piling up of large stocky of finished product, the market for which should become active within a few months. The Rowe Calk ecompany movec from Hartford te Southington about five years ago. In addition to M Chase the officers are: Louis Chism Springfield, treasurer; Edward Dea.

At- torney Harr Back, representing the Connecticut Mills company, now nne of the largest of the horough's taxpavers, called attention fo the faet that a gread deal that residents of e borough have long desired to know out the water company's affairs will likely be brought out at the hearing before the public utilities commis- sion. From facts and figures that in all prabability will be brought eut at the hearings, Danielson people will learn whether or 1ot the Crystal Wa ter company is a paying concern and as to how well it pa: This inform- ation.

Just when the borough officials, now having full power-to act in contesting the rates, will do so, has not been définitely decided, it' was stated on Thursday, but seme anneuncement relative to what is to be done is ex- pected within a few days. Superintendent Hepe, of the Shore Line Eleetric Railway eompany on the local lines said Thursday that he hop- ed that cars would Jpe running again here during the coming week. This is all dependent, hewever, upon the speed with Which the ice covering the rails disappears. Through Danielson’s streets the rails are still imbedded in ice, but out in the open country the line is clearing up very ranidly and a car eould be run on some parts of the line. The company will delay no long- er than is necessary in restoring ser- viee, Mr, Hope said, clearing away what remains of the ice when nature has done most of the work that will be required to get the lines open again, Cars have not run here sinee; February 4, and since that date one FRECKLES March Brings Out Unsightly Spots.

Superintendent Hope of the Putnam lines of the company was here on Thursday for the first time in a month. Mr. Hope, who has been at Nerwieh, was looking over the sitpation and making plans for the resumptien of service at the earliest pessible mo- ment. Though the tracks of the company are free of iee through much of the cpen country where the line runs be- tween this city and Dayville the rails are still hidden where they run through the streets. Most of this ice must disappear before the company will attempt to fully clear the line gnd make it ready for ears again. No cars have been operated here sinee Feb. 4, and the tieup is the long- est in the history of the road on aec- count of storms. Th was ne change Thursday in the strike pituation at the plant ef the Waterman Worsted company. The strikers, who have been out about two weeks, were going to the office of the company en Thursday te get such money as was due them, it bheing pay day. The strikers seemad confident an Thyrsday that they will win event- ually, but there was no sizn in sight »f a quick ehange from the present situation, A and pewerful ‘“quad” moter truck owned by Bayer Brothers of the own of Thompsen left Putnam Thurs- iay just before 11 o'clock in an effor! ‘o m'nkc its way through to Providencr via Chepachet, a trip that ne moto rehicle has heen able to accompli since that much traveled route was “locked By the hig storm of Feh. 4.

This particular truck, recently squipped with a special tyne of low qear to give it tremendous’ pulling anwer. made its wav through from Worcester to Thempsen Iav, and its crew believes .that the pachet route will not offer amy -feater difficuities than were” encoun- tered on that trip. during which the rreat wheels. equipped with huoee “neumatic tires. were practically out f sight in drifts at times. The drivers expected to meet witl ~reat difficulties in getting through te Providence and earried alonz shoveis which to attaek drifts that might nrove too formjdable for their ma- “hine. The sueccess of this trin is generaly hened for and the effort will be ‘“watched with interest. Getting the “hepachet route epen again wanld mean a great deal to the manufactur- ing eoncerns here and in other towns n this vieinity. Rev. H, N. Brown ofi South Man- ~hester. formerly pastor of the Pen- tacostal churches in Putnam and Danielson, was a visitor in Putnam on Thursday. Mr. Brown stopped here tq transact some husiness while en ronte te Providence te eonfer with another officinl relative to the annual East Douwlas interdenominational camn meeting. of which he is tha menera) secretarv. Mr. Rrown stated that the dates for the eamn meeting this vear are July 16-%4, and that more peonle than ever before are expected to be in attendance.

The attempt to bring the revalua- fion matter to the sarions attention of 'me voters is heing made by the Chamber of Commeree. The Quinebaug river and other streams in the vicinity of Putnam are steadily rising, Up to Thursday af- ternoon the Quinebaug; the largest of the streams hereabouts, and the most dangerous in case of a flood, which many have feared for the past month, had not risen sufficiently to cause any alarm, hut it was gaining steadily. Great quantities of water have poured into . this river during the past week from all of the watershed that it drains, and it is now at a height where one heavy rainsterm would be very apt to cause trouble, Aleng stretches of this swift run- ning stream in the vicinity of Putnam the river is free of ice, but ever the on Wadnes- =t e car_has remained stalled on. the line at Wauregan. p State Policsmen Bridgeman and Elliott . were 1n Danielson on business connected with their department - on Thursday, Richard Reeves has gone to De- troit to enter the employ of one of the big autemobile manufacturing eon- cerns of that city.

Notwithstanding the extraardinary handicaps to deing husiness during the peribd, some local tradesmen report the best February record of sales in their experienee. Prineipal John I. Lusk, who is to be- come paying teller at the Danielson Trust company, will remain in his present position until the tewn sehoel eommittee is able to procure a sub- stitute. Three children who reeently ar- rived here from France and whe were refugees in that stricken eountry dur- ing the war, have entered the Daniel-- son graded schoel.
