JEWETT CITY Pachaug grange celebrated Thursday evening an event somewhat out of the ordinary. A class of 24 received degrees and theer were bounteous tables spread in the chapel across the way, where so many good times have been enjoyed. Clark C. Palmer, ‘one of the sturdy rep- resentatives of Griswold's fast passing ploneers, had reached his 8¥th_birthday. When Pachaug erangers cut a' figure it ie a safe bet i/ it is cut—they never half do a thing. So a great ten-pound birthday cake was made under the im- mediate direction of mo less an artist than Mrs. Wiliam Christopher. Eighty- seven candles were arranged around the top, and later the sturdy Griswold resi- cake presented to Clark C. their master, Harold E. Geer. For the past 60 years and more people in this town have made it a point, if pos- sible, to be present when Mr. Palmer was scheduled to-speak. During the days of the famous Hopeville lyceum 40 years ago people by the dozen walked the three miles to Hopeville to listen when Mr. Palmer and the late h Roode were pitted against each other as the on the floor.

Palmer by T Lust week the state inspector of pub- e theatres and playhouses came to Jewett City and called upon Manager Barnett of the Finn opera house. A thorough examination of all conditions required by the state safety board for playhouses of this class wasmade. All matters pertaining to exlts. seats, booth and curtain were found to be O. K. Mr, Barnett was advised to construct and maintain an additional outside steel fire escape from the balcony, which sugges- tion he will put into operation at once, and will communicate with the Berlin Bridge company to day that there may he no delay. Two years ago Mr. Barnett expended over $500 for new steel fire es- capes, seat anchors and other safety de- vices suggested by the state inspector. With the addition of the new escape there will be nine exits from the theatre. No devices are ever used on the stage to enhance or augment the regulation re- flection from the lantern batteries on the screen. A ripping southenster did bustness all the latter part of Saturday night'and tarough the early hours of Sufday morn- ing. Over an fnch of rain fell.
