Asgistant Postmaster Barl F. Wins- low Ims resigmed to take one with the Goodyear Mills company. Louis Weisard, apother member of the local postal force, has also tendered his resignation as a clerk and will ga to Washington to |fill a position. As everywhere through- out the country, postal employes are dissatisfed with the low wages they are recelwing. Here in Danielsen the postal force is aiready short and it is necesgary' for the clerks to work much extra time-each week, as does the past- master. At 8:30 Thursday morning an alarm fraan Box 23 called out the Captain Put engine company to extinguish a fire that blazed up about a tar kettle where some state road repair wark was being done on Dyer street, near what is known as the Cold Spring. Chemicals were used by the firemen to extinguish the blaze, which was quite spectacular for a few- minutes. The damage, was very small. .

Even at the high prices now being ask- ed wood is scarce and difficult to get. Rose of Lima Council, K. of ©,, is ar- ranging a big outing far its members, to be held on the Fourth of July. As plans are now, there will be a clambake. The committee of arrangements has not as yet worked out full details for the affair, but a royal good time is promis. ed for all the members. The state highway between Daniel- som and Putnam is the first in this see- tion to receive a surface with oil this Season. Oil has been applied on the section between Attawaugan and Putnam this week and has been sanded over. This stretch of highway has been in poor condition since it was torn up se badly at the end of the winter after being covered with ice and snow for many weeks. An effort is nof being made to improve this route, which is traffic. “Fhe announcement that the Comnee- ticpit company is contemplating a trolley serwvice from New London northward thrpugh this territory is of special ins terast here. Much business is done between the towns along the line from Norwich to Danielson and a trollay freight service would be appreciatd.

A number of persons who saw the glare were con- vineed that the interior of the hall was aflame. It was said that paper used in decorations and for favors at a recent entertainment was being burned in a stove in the hall and that when the door of the stove was opened that the glare showed through the windows.
