Along a newly opened road or in a recently developed suburb, the Socony sign of quality and service is invariably there to supply the needs of every motorist. And Socony service fulfills the weekly demand for one drum of gasoline or a hundreéd, with equal promptness and care.

ASHFORD Anothér succhfsful meéting of Ashférd Welfars asdtciation was held last Satur- day evefiifig i Bakers Rall, Warrenville, With a §ood AumibeF present in spite of the intéfisé heat afd thféaténed showers. Thefe Was 1o sét program but an infor- mal heighbotly dlscusSion of loeal prob- 1em8 With &péeial reference to good roads, Pettér farfis and 16¢al industries. With referénce o gobd roads, it was announced that plans were corleted to cBntinié thé cofétruction of the state road from near Wafréntillé rnorth towards Westfora viilage, Beginning opposite Al- exanider M. Bassett's and géing “as far as the monéy holds out” Ashford voted about tWo yeArs ago to co-operate with the stats in this plan but labor eondi- tions have prevented actual edhstfuction ntil fbw. Recently First Seéctman Bert Gafdnér, Fred Chisri, A. M. Bassett and othér citizéhs have been in conference with the _state highway department to as8ufé thé éommisibrer that the mén of ‘Westford wére teddy to provide the necss- saty labor “right after haying” if the partiment would go ahéad with the West- ford road 2s voted: s6 fow the work is actually in progress, with- Westford men on the job—a good instafice of the old adage, “the Lofd helps those Who help thefmselves.” [) The first thing {8 had is to bulld a fiew bridge over the btate highway al- ready running just northeast of the War- renville schooliiouse, over the Mt Hope rivér, and this Wofk is in progress this Week. The big tone crushér and fad roller arrived on the schoslhouse lot last week, bt could fist safely proceed over thé old bridge. Tibers for the new *| bridge have Been at hand for some time. It is expectéd that the bridge will be ready for use Within a few days, and then the road roller and stone crusher will invads the new térritory and begin e actual extension of e Wefliord road. These facts were greeted with pleasire by the meeting. There was some discus- 1 of the presént cohdition of the state 0ads south of Warrestville aad the state- ment was made that it seemed umfortu- nate not to keep exidting state roads in better condition. It was explaified that the new construétion would undoubtedly have the éffect of putting the entire course in bettér condition as far as the state road Is now built and that it was up to the men liviag along the liné of travel to render every possible assistanice to the state department. Considerable comsient was offered as to the wretched condition of that portioh of the Willimantic road between Mt Hope through Atwootville to Mansfield Center, where the state road befflls agalh. It was hoped that the town of Mahafield would sobn zét busy and femedy this, a8 Ashford's part is se- riously handis by the Door streteh of road in Ma d. The matter of better farms was briefly touched upen in its refatien to good roads and the advantage thus given to reach markets. The peint was brought out that Ashford did net raise emough to feed its own people and that the welfare assoeia- tion might well enlist co-operation among its own citizens along that line. A lead- ing farmer in a nearby tewn, himeelf a large producer and not afraid to mvest money in agriculture, was quoted as say- ing that one trouble with farmers is that they are not willing to irvest meney in f60d production, as manufacturers invest for their production, and that when mors of the farmers were ready fo invest mon- ey in machinery and fertilmers, to manu- facture food, thefe Would be better results in agriculture. Reply was made that few back-country farwers nowidays had thoney or capital to Work with: t6 which rejolfider was Hadé that fen th Ashford Who had money to.invest might well use it to encourage agricuiture, for the ults- mate good 6f the eommumity. Cerfamnly, it was said in the discussion, ¥ the world needs more food, there is no reason in thees days of auto trucks and with good roads coming why Ashford shouid mot pian for development on this line. Concerning Rew idtubtties, attention was calied to the fact that, becatise of the ’flvervmwm conditions @nd Mgh cost of Gperatioh in bif eentefs of population, there is a tendeney among certain small industries to move out into the less pop- ulated regions und to uwHilizé, a5 in duys gone by, the avallable waterpowér of the hill-town stréams, either direct, of by the generation of électrisity. The possibility Of running bif Power eables from cities Was spoken of. | There were certafi #mal ina; which it was believed Sotld be m‘i?é?fé along the streams of Ashford as well as in other small toWis. Therd are several sites in the town where abundant water. power is quickly available for small in- Qustries: in 8bme instaticts where raw matetial for cértaifi HP8ducts is near at hand.

Gurdon ¥. Bailey' of Norwich Town preached at Néwent Sunday mofn- inig by exchanige with the pastor. A large elm on the north side of the church green was struck by lightning Saturday afternoon, the fluid jumping to the roof of the schoolhotise close by and tearing things to pieces generally. A large patch of shingles was torn from the roof where hte bolt entered the building, every window had panes of ghass broken and one whole sash was shattered. The interior looks as if a bomb.had exploded, plaster knocked off, lath hanging from the ceiling, one row of desks leaning to one side because of broken standards, the desk chair which. was fiew last year had the lower part torn off and hurled across the room and the seat of the chair set flat on the floor. The stove was. broken, fioor boards were torn up and at one lower corner the clapboards and boarfs torn off for 4 considerable space where the fluid escaped. All that can be found of a base- ball bat that had been left leaning against the elm is a six-inch splinter. During the sfre shower the barn at Georze Kennedy's was struck at one end of the péak and-a strip of shingles from one to two feet wide was torn off the wholé length of thé yoof. ‘Tn the stable berieath a hole Was torn in a blanket and a riding saddlée was torn to pieces. Because of there being ho hay in that end of the barn probably dceounts for the fact that it did not take fire. Miss Gladys Burdick of Sterling is the guest of her aunt, Mrs. W. A. Read.

ERRREAR *;D_Di?fififi‘i What Is There Left - For Essex To Prove Note the Range of its Nation - Wide Performances All Made in One Week the average was 189 miles per gallon. 24 cars were sent ofi an average 216-mile economy run in Conneaticut, some over mountains and others on a level course, avoraging 18.7 miles per gailon. Four women Ore car with 35,000 miles service averaged 21.2 miles per gallon, A Hastings, Neb. woman drove 109 miles to Lincoln, averaging 28 miles mer gailon. drove from Los Angeles to San Fran- cisco and return averaging 22.3 miles per gallon and . ancther Essex made the sound trip bstween the two cities, 846 miles, with an average of 23 miles per galien. RELIABILITY Reliability which is a larger factor in car economy than even gasoline mileage, was proven in ever Iocality in non-stop motor performances and in long distance inter-city runs. An Essex which had seen 16,000 miles service was driven from Columbus, Ohio to Washington, D. Ci, 403 miles, in 11 hours, 40 minutes. Another Essex that had set the best time betwesn Boston and Fort Kent, on the Canadian Border, made four round trips within a week, totaling £052 miles, An Essex which had previously gone 28,000 miles > made a round trip betwsen San Francisco and Los Angeles over a route of grades and mountain passes, frequently far from water supply, with its gear shift levers, heod and fadiator all sealed. It averaged 22.8 milés per galloh. Literally hundreds of tests liké these were mads in all parts of the country. What they reveal is exactly what you may expect from the Essex you buy. Can you place equal confidence in any car that has not so vividly established its performamnce ? 191 NORTH MAIN STREET, NORWICH, CONN, These performances show what to expect of the Essex you will get. H They are not a surprise to tlie more than 40,000 Essex owners, although their equal in so many instances was never shown by any other car. \ So.me of the hardest tests were made by Essex cars that had already traveled over 35,000 miles—equivalent to 7 years of average driving. Some were on original tirgs that had done from 15,000.to 20,000 miles. Many were owner cars—owner driven—taken without special preparation from their ordin- ary day to day work, to break the speed, reliability and economy marks of their localities. Women piloted some of the runs that showed as high as 28 miles to the gallon of gasoline, They set new marks for fast time over long distance driving where men with many cars hesi- tate to venture. Is there any important car quality left for Essex to prove { ECONOMY With 49 cars in every type of performance of from 5 to 72 miles per hour and over all kinds of roads SPEED The inter-city records for time in nearly afl foca- ties are now held by Essex. From Buffalo, N. Y. to Rochester the distance is 88 miles. An Essex did it in 80 minutes. The St. Louis to Kansas City record, 303 miles was taken by Essex in 10 houts, 17 minutes. Another Essex ~went from Yakima, Wash. to Seattle, 180.1 miles over Gascade Mountains in 4 hours, 56 minu- tes, lowering the railroad time hy 1 hour, 44 minu< tes. HILL-CLIMBS In every section Essex set new performance marks on the mest difficult hills. The Rim O’ the World in California, & elimb of nearly 5,000 feet in 88 miles over mountain roads, was made in 17 minutes, 23 seconds, beating all previous records. The 21st Street hill in Washingten, D. C. was climbed by an Essex on high. No other cat had & dotie that. And on the Tilden Street hill an Essex i went over the top at 51 miles per hour and the sumhell;:lr towed a 6-ton truck with load 16 blocks up hill. NON-STOP MOTORS \ At many points non-stop motor performances wers made during which the car was for a greater time used in &3uhtry and inter-city runding. No at- tempt was made at speed but in ho tase wals the motor stopped during the period of test. Scores of cities saw the Esséx in constant operation far 144 hours. At one point a two wesks te hours—was fade of a motor in constant operation, ERNEST WHITE, Dealer PHONE 1142 Service Station, Phone 1780
