AT THURSDAY. DANIELSON AND DANIELSON Here is the first slam at the “beer-for- medicine” regulations, insofar as Daniel- son is concerned. A local druggist said ‘Wednesday: ‘“No, we are not going to take out any permit to handle beer. We never have taken out a permit to sell liquors on prescription since prohibition went into effect. The arrangement would be a nuisance to us. If the government wants-to surround the sale of liquors and beer with such stringent regulations, let the government also handle the sale of it; we do not care to.” Patrons of the Orpheum theatre Were regaled with & sparkling minstrel attrac- tion with a cast of home players Wed- nesday evening when the Minstrel Follies of 1921 were staged under the direction of Charles (Billie) Russell and Miss Deborah Thornton, local professionals, who were with the Gambols of 1921 com- pany during the season that closed early this summer.

When the maticr of accepting the property, valued at fifteen to twenty thousand dollars, came. before the town meeting this mnoth there was opposition to the estate being accepte dif it meant the rerroval of the library ‘from its present quarters in the municipal building. The signing of a waiver of her rights to the as a library, abrogates the condition and the town may no waccept it without maintaining a library on the premises. Miss Barber's only stipulations were that any income from the properyt, or in the event of its sale, the money should be used for library purposes, also that a tabet in memory of Mr. and Mrs. Gadrner be maintained in Putnam’s pub- lic library, wherever it may be located. Mrs. Gardner, widow of John L. Gard- ner, died in June 1920. She made a number of specific. gifts to friends and made her niece, Miss Barber, residuary legatee of her estate, which was quite large. Miss Barber, whose home is in Willington, had made her home Wwiti Mrs. Gardner for some timie and had cared for her in her illness. In the will was the devise to the town of the home- stead, which extends from South Main to Schoel street, and comorises not only fhe land but two dwellings. The condi- tion .under which the property was de- vised was that it, or a part of it, be used for Ybrary purp8ses as a memorial to herself and husband. Some time ago it was voted to re- move the Putnam public library to tha municipal building on the west side of the Quinebaug river. Apparently many people living in the vicinity believed that if the town accepted the Gardner prop- erty the library would be moved -again to the east side of the river, There was a large attendance at the annual tovn meeting When the question was to be voted upon. It was apparent that them would be considerable opposition if the question was put to vote, It was stated in the meeting that there was a possibiiity of surmounting the condition imposed-by the will and the opinion was How Old Are You By Your Hair?
