Aside from this vociferous greeting to In- dependence day the enthusiasm here was oqual te that of Carpentier’s supporters ‘while Referee Ertle was counting out the idol of France at Jersey City. Wixtra officers on duty to keep Young America quiet and within bounds as the first heur of the Fourth ticked off were as s much surplusage, as it happened. The yeungsters of 1921 must have crawl- ed hite the hay at about 9.30. After midnight the own was as quiet as tl ceuntry about Beach pond on a Febru- ary night. As to being safe and sane, the cele- bration of the night before was'even more #0. Semething has dampened the ardor of these who used to give the national heliday a real enthusiastic greeting in Danielson. ~ Comparatively little money was . spent for fireworks, explosives or ammunition this vear as compared to what used to be the rule in years past The noise of the celebration here on the heliday was a mere whisper in compar- ison to many Fourths. TWhat is the answer? No one seems able ta adequately reply. It surely isn’t pro- hibition, as many declare, for the great majority of the voung people who always made the Fourth livelyv have not been affected by the restrictions laid down under the Eizhteenth Amendment. Tt places no i upon them that| have not ays placed unon them- selves. Some hiame the lack of enthu amm on t war, the theory being that in rea are hundreds of young| men lost their penchant for trifiing with firearms or explosives as a mere pas- time. Whatever the cause, Fourth by mea on seems to be fthe observance of | and eral lack of obseryance of the day. Even the display of national colors was s=o greatly reduced.as to be remarked about. But notwithstanding all of this, Daniel- son people are patriotic as ever. They simply didn’t enthuse over the Fourth this year, however. Up to lgte afternoon the police report- ed, there hmd been only one arrest, this as the esumit of a street brawl, and no accidents, a real pleasing feature to chronicle. A temperature of 96 degrees was ree- orded at Woodward's at one o'clock on the afternoon of the Fourth was a fair measure of the kind of weather this ter- ritory endured through the holiday. It was blistering hot out in the sun, where the mercury in some .instruments ran up to 103. Humanity sweltered and oozed off weight that will net be missed by many nor regretted by others who shrunk with the populace generally.

The little station =t Eiliets, in the town of Pomfret, was packed to over- flowing Saturday morning by interested residents of that section of Windham county who gathered to give testimony before Charles C. Elwell of the public utilities commission, which was conduct- given by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad that this station is to {be made a flag stop only, and the agent removed. The residents of Ellioit were represented by Attorney Charles L. Torrey of Putnam. At the opening of the hearing a deed, dated 1368, was in- troduced by Attorney Torrey which it was shown that the land up. . which L A., | the station stands was sold to the raile road- by. Ira Elliott with the understand- ing that the company should erect a freight and passenger depot there. While the deed said nothing concerning the dis- | continuance of the station, Mr. Torrey { maintained that the spirt of the decu~ ment was that it should always be main- ing a hearing as the result of a mnotice’ was oesting the company $37 a week for payreil at Elliott station, the income from freight and paseenger service was only 361 for the entire month of May. From January te May, 1921, the payroll amounted to $1,0 , ‘while the receipts ‘were only $517.14. nd business is now running 40 per cent. lower,” added Mr. Hobbes. He stated that the matter of guarding the cressing, which had beer introduced, was aside from the issue. Summing up, Mr. Torrey argued that the Elliott station was one point of @ great system maintained for the public, and that while this particular point might net be paying, still the company Wwas under.a moral obligation to main- tain it, and not penalize the community through lack of service. He emphasized that at present there is a depression, but that ‘prosperity is coming, and the rail- road should not cut off this locality sim- ply because of the depression. 1§ teok 10 immings Sunday aftermeow at Putnam for the Colonial baseball team of Nerwich to evercome and capture the said President Storrs in the company | Russell summer home.
