Starkweather of Danielson is a iloser through the fire that destroyed the i big barn on the George H. Kimball farm lat” Wood’s hill Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Starkweathér was the owner of about a score of tons of hay which he had pur- chased and hal baled, but which had not/peen removed from the structure. It destroyed this week was burned over 40 years ago with a loss of a great herd of cattle. A large number of the members and other ex-service men have their plans to be at Wildwood park on Labor day for the field meeting of the county. The program of the day in- cludes a number of athletic events. the list of speakers for the day. ox Thursday that, ing the suspension of service on electric road to that place, a motor transport service for passengers will be established between Danielson and East Killingly. C. H. Pellett said Thursday morning that he was in conference with relative to a transportation schedule which would be worked out to meet the needs of EaSt Killingly. This new ser- vice will make it possible for the East Killingly - children who attend high school in Danielson to get back and forth and may include an arrahgement fo rthe transportation of United States mails, now carried on the trolley line betwee nthe two places. Aside from the program mapped out for Connecticut Mills field, there will be practically no observance of Labor day in Danielson. In other parts of the town, however, notably at Goodvear and at Wildwood park, there will be inter- esting programs that are certain to bring large numbers of persons together. he Fall River Boy Scout band of 50 pieges will arrive at Goodyear Saturday afternoon to remain until after Labor day, and the period of their stay here 1l be filled to overflowing with events in which ghey will have a conspicuous part. Danielson. people will have a chance ar a concert by this great organ- ion of Scouts on Davis park Satur- day evening fyom 6.30 to 7.30. Scout Commissioner ~ Perry is accompanying the band on its visit to Killingly and | probably will make an address here in i | the interest ‘which of the steadily Scout movement, is gaining ground throughout the country. After the Saturday evening's concert here band will return to Goodyear and be special guests of the Goodyear s company at a pleture show at the cial club. The feature to be shown is 2 four-reel film showing the adventures jof the Akron Boy Scouts while on a trip to the mountain region ‘of morthern New England and is entitled Men in the Making. During the early part of Sunday af- | ternoon the Scouts will be given 2 mo- tor trip in Goodyear company buses through Pomfret, the Woodstocks and | Thompson and will return to Goodyear n time to play another concert at 3 p. jm. Monday will be a busy day for the ors. They will take part in the ade that will mark the opening of rear’s observance of the day, will ipate in Scouts’ tug of war Scouts and other such events. They will also find tiffic to entertain the crowd their music during the day and in wi B the early evening will take part in a p fire Scout meeting, which will be ! 1 atop the the picturesque ledges |near Goodyear. The late part of the | evening W find them being entertained Social club. Agent Robert W. Boys of the company {said Thursday that the prizes that have ibeen procured for the athletic events in |tha Labor day program are the finest |that the company has ever offered, and |there is ample indication that there is | keen interest among the employes to win some of them if possible. The visit of the Fall River scouts here is expected to stimulate interest in the Boy Scout movement, which never had a real impetus in Killingly, where there should be many troops. Not all of those who have enjoyed the summer in the cottages and camps at Alexander's lake will leave after La- Ibor day, but that holiday will bring a | awindling of the sumer colony, which | has been large this season. This week a lgroup of Danielson boys are staying at legion posts in this section of Windham Congressman Richard P.

It was in 1892 that he came to the United States. From that time Oof | until his death, all but two years have Leo J. L'Homme post, American legion, 9 4 made been spent in North Grosvenordale. N ing those two years he was employedNn a shoe shop. Mr. Johnson has success- fully engaged in the grocery and dry goods business, and in his dealing with residents of this vicinity has built up for himself a name for square dealing and integrity. Mr. Johnson has served the town of There was consolation for FEast Kil-|Thompson, within which North Grosven- lingly people in the announcement made |ordale is located, as assessor and jus- immediately follow- tice of the peace. In politics he was a terms served in the state legislature in Hart- 4ford. He was elected to represent Thompson in 1911, and again in 1913. For many years he served as treasurer of the Swedish Republic League of Connecticut, and at one time was its vice president. At the time of his death he was president of the Swedish Republican club of - North Grosvenordale. Mr. Johnson was county sealer of weights and measures, an office that he has held ever since it was established. He was a prominent member of the Swedish Lutheran church of North Grosvenordale, and also a member of the Masons. Mr. Johnson is survived by his wife and two children, Walter and Evelyn. He also leaves two brothers, Oscar and Gustave. Frank L. Davis, agent of the Windham County Farmers' Association, was in Plninfield Tuesday night holding a meeting preliminary to organizing the association’s work in that town. Miss Edith Kennedy, woman town director, was instrumental in securing the meet- ing, at which Mr. Davis submitted the plans of organization now in operation in Woodstock and Canterbury. Present at the Plainfield meeting were Edward Hall, William Hall, Ernest Buell, Ar- thur Elliott, George Kennedy, R. E. West, R. J. Lathrop, W. P. Lathrop and George Dawley. A second meeting is to be held soon. Lieutenant Governor Clifford B. Wil- son of Bridgeport was a recent visitor of friends in Pomfret." | Putnam citizens are watching with In- terest the case of the four ex-service men who were arrested Tuesday after- noon jn Willimantic and subsequently taken to Hartford charged with wearing unlawfully the uniform of the United States' army. The men were Soliciting money for a fund which they said existed for the purpose of aiding needy soldiers, and in return for twenty-five cents they gave the donor a pamphlet. In Putnam the quartette obtained considerable money Monday night and Tuesday morning. In connection jwith this matter, Captain John H. Bulger of the Putnam police on Thursday called attention to the war department’s effort to curb the operations of men wearing soldier's uniforms and collecting money for disabled veterans. The department has issued a warning to citizens urging them not to be taken in by such appeals. Many times, says the warning, uniformed solicitors are not service men,-although they pretend to be, and when arrested they frequently re- fuse to show discharge certificates. With the opening of the Putnam high school next Tuesday there will be in- augurated a new course in home making that will be required of all girls in the freshman class except those preparing directly for college. This course, which is being introduced in cooperation with the authorities at the state trade school here, is an experiment for this locality, but, according to . E. Bli's, the school director, similar courses are now suc- cessfully being carried out in Bridgeport and South Manchester. Two new teachers will come to Putnam this week e charge of the new course. Miss izabeth Jackson of Norwalk will be in- structor in domestic science and courses involving the preparation of foods. Miss Hannah Pease of Anson, Maine, will be in charge of the work in sewing and al- lied subjects. Miss Pease is a graduate of the University of Chicago, and has taken special work there leading to the degree of Ph B., which fits her for the instruction she will be called upon to sive upon reaching Putnam. In speaking of the new features of the curriculum, Director Ellis said on ‘Thursday morning: “Above all else we aim to make these new courses of prac- tical value. Domestic science often has meant the mere mixing together of ingredients, and then cooking. We are going to pay attention to that, of course, but in addition will give attention to serving, setting of the table and many other little details that go to make a meal attractive. And the same applies to the work in the sewing rooms. The taim is to give practical value in hodie management to the girls who will some day be called upon to manage homes. In the first third of the year the girls will be given lessons in the chemistry of foods, cooking, plain sewing, dressmak- ing, home decoration, and textiles. There will also be some work in home manage- ment and household hygiene. In the second term this same work will be continued in a moras advanced form, and in the fin~" will be made more comprehensive still. In order tha. . abjects may be properly taught it has be n necessary to secure additional eouipment. The room in the high school building that wa formerly occupjed by the manual train- ing shop has been refitted to serve as a laundry. A boiler, hot water heater and tubs have been installed this summer, and a small room adjoining is soon to be fitted up for the drying of clothes. An electric iron has been purchased and has been installed. This latter work was done by the boys from the electrical de- partment of the trade school. In the sewing room, which is also in the high school building additional tables have been put . These were made at the trade school carpenter shop. Mr. Ellis states that wherever it is possible, the boys are making the equipment that will be needed in the home making courses. Ten tables will be in use in the sewing department, which permits accommodat- juice, make Easy to serve.

The work here is of a practical lnature and not only embraces dress- making, but darning and mending as well. Instruction in the designing of clothes is to be given. “The courses are not yet arranged in a hard and fast manner,” said Mr. Ellis, “but as the year progresses we shall shape them here and there as needed. ‘We have to begin in a small way, but year by year we can add to the scope of the instruction. However, when a girl has completed the courses we have ar- ranged for this coming year, she will be in a far better position to manmage a home than she would-have been in had she never had the opportunity that is to be given with the opening of the school next week.” Tonight (Friday) members of the com- mittee appointed by Anselm Mayotte post of the American legion for the pur- pose of helping service men in Putnam fill out blanks of application for the government’s Victory medal will be in the office of Dr. Edward F. Perry from |7 to 9. Every man who served in the iarmy between April 6, 1917 and Novem- ber 11, 1918, is entitled to one of the medals and in case of death those next of kin may apply. In making applica- tion it is necessary for the former sol- dier to bring his discharge certificate. Mount Ochepetuck, more commonly known as Bald Hill, has during this past summer become ome of the mos populat spots in Windham county for automobile tourists. Located 18 mil from Putn m. in the fown of Stafford, the place for many years has been al- most unknown to residents in this sec- tion of the state. From the top of the mountain one has what has declared to be the finest view in the state. On a clear day Long Island Sound is plainly visible, Mount Tom and Mount Monad- nock stand out clearly, and towns in the neighborhood of Worcester can be pick- ed out easily. There is only one house on the top of Mt. Ochepetuck and this be- longs to Mrs. Harvey Lawson, a govern- ment fire warden. Several hours eafh day, Mrs. Liwson sits in a tower on top f her dwelling to watch for the first trace of tell tale smoke. With powerful glasses it is possible to see Boston Har- bor, the capitol at Hartford, and the White Mountains in New Hampshire. This is possible because from the top of the mourntain 3 second highest spot in this state, there is ne ly a complete expanse of norizon. Mrs. Lawson from her observation tower looks e tha away. Bald Hill is 75 feet higher than the Massachusetts mountain. Many pic- nic parties have been held with Mrs. Lawson this year, and as the spot hu: become more widely known, an incres ing number of antomobilists journey there each week. Mrs. Lawson is the Wvife of Rev Harvey Lawson, pastor of the East Woodstock church, and evr Sunday afternoon vesper services are held in the house at the top of the hill. LEFFINGWELL Mr. and Mrs. Frank Champlin of Ar- lington, Mass., are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Reynolds. A party of men from this neighborhood gathered at Orrin Vergason's home last Thursday and harvested his crop of hay, as Mr. Vergason recently broke his leg. Mr. and Mrs. H. E.
