A little more this morning as to day- lght saving and standard time: By a vote of 139 to 9, Friday, puplls at Killingly High school declared them- selves In favor of having the school con- tinue it sessions on the early schedule adopted Monday of this week, and by permission of the town school commit- tee, the arrngement -will continue. ‘This means that Monday morning next the high school session will open at 7.30 standard time, 8.30 daylight saving time, and this schedule in all probability will be continued to the end of the school year, a little more than a month away. Patrons of the theatre, whatever their preference as to time-keeping, will find themselves accommodated during tic coming week, for two shows have hesn arranged for, instead of one as at pres- ent. Chief A. P. Woodward of the fire de- partment adds a line of jest 1o the talk about time observance by stai'ng that he will put the firemen on standard time, thus giving them an hour to respond to any alarm that may come in on the bor- ough's advanced time—then naively re- marks that the department is doing bus- iness 24 hours each day and is always en the job. \ Another week, In all probsbility, will see the fire department’s new motorized ladder truck in commission. The re- painting work Is practically completed excepting the putting on of the gold- feaf striping and clear, dry weather is requared for that; otherwise the job would have been finished this week. The modernized ladder outfit will be hauled by a departmentized Cadillac, which has been through an extended eourse of revamping to fit for the service tn which hereafter it is to be engaged. Also the rear wheels that have served on the ladder truck which formerly was horse-drawn will be replaced by a pair of heavy wheels with 3-inch rubber tires. The re-vamped latter outfit will bear the imscription Danielson Fire Depart- ment on each side of the hood over the motor and Minnitexit Ladder Company on the side of the hody. Minnetexit is an old and honored nme In the history of the Danielson Fre de- partment. It was first borne by the old Minnetexit hand engine, now preserved as a relic of by-gone days at the cea- tral fire station, a#hd later by a hose eompany that perforrged honorable and vallant service in fighting fires that oc- curred within the borough for more ‘ha1 & score and a half of years. A link of relationship between the older and new companies of the name Is the brass d 11 taken from the old hand engine when it went out of service and placed on the “yumphr” truck of the company In lat- er years. Now the bell, assoctated with the local department’s activities for well toward half a century, has been affixed to the motorized apparatus of the Min- netexit Ladder Company, and will ring eut warning of the approach of that ve- hicle as it speeds on to-fires. Newly elected officers of the Minne- texit Ladder Company are: Captain, John Doyle; leutenant, John Doyle; secre- tary-treasurer, Howard Withey Chief A. P. Woodward intimated Fri- day afternoon that as soon as the new ladder truck is In commission, there will be & clean-up sale of trucks, harnesses and other antiquated material no longer of value to the department, which is keeping abreast of the times, though its members are volunteers, serving more for the good of the service than for the compensation they receive each year— for the compensation is in no manner commensurate with the service they ren- red nor the chances they may ba called upon to take at ary hour of the day or night. Opening day today, new gas filling sta- tion at the Plaza, Water, Main and Cot- tage streets, on two trunk lines. Cigars, tobeeco and confectionery on sale.—adv. Chiet Special Deputy Hownrd A. El- Hott, of the bureau of Damestic Ani- mals, while in Danlelson Friday gave out the following letter, which Is be- Ing sent to all veterinarians in Con- necttout : Ever sincoe the infections nature rables has been recognized, the eff. °f investigators have been directed to ward its control and suppression. Legis- mntive measures have been enicted, quar- wtine and muzzling orders lesuel, yet Ml the efforts toward the eralication ¢ the disease have falled. As a matter o fact, In the inied States rables increased in some loeal- It'ee to a very alarming extsnt. Au- thorities on this recognize that with the strict enforcement of quarantine mens- ures it wou!d be possible to coutral the infection, but cll efforts in th's dircction have nevertheless failed, due to public sentiment being against the enforcemcrt of such measures in a way which would assure their effectiveness. In view o¢ this fact, investigators have @irected their attention toward develop- ing & method of vaccination whereby It would be possible to protect dogs against an exposure — that is protect them from the infection. Rabies, as it is well known, is invari- ably communicated through bites of dogs and other animals and if we succeed in protecting animals to an extent ‘that such bites are not harmful (and by such vaccination all the dogs in a given lo- cality can be protected), the control of the disease cap be effectively accomplish- ed. Due to the very alarming spread of the disease in Japan, efforts were direct- ed toward investigations to develop a means by which it would be possible to check the disease. These investigations resulted in the development of a pro- tective vaccination whereby it is possible to immunize a dog by a single injection for a period of one year against any ex- posure to which the dog may be sub- lected. ‘The possibllity of such immunication has not only been proven by laboratory experiments, but also in practice, over 85,000 dogs having been vaccinated and In only one instance in this large num- DPANTELSON CASINO, STARKWEATHER BLDG.

The experiments consisted of vac- cinating- a series of dogs by the single injection method and after 16 days sub- jecting them to an injectlon of highly vigulent brain tissue from an infected dogs. All vaccinated dogs withstood this heawy infection of virrulent material, whereas the checks which were not vac- cinated and given only the virulent in- fective material developed rables prompt- ly in a very virulent form, terminating in death. :; The results obtained ‘from these ex- periments, together with the splendid achievements from- the vaccination in Japan prove conclusively that rabies can be effectively controlled by this form of vaccination. o The initiative taken by the state of Connecticut to inaugurate this protective vaccination cannot therefore be consid- ered an experiment, but is based upon conclusive data indicating that with such measures the menace of rabies may be eliminated. % With the careful record kept on the vaccinations, it will be possible to dem- onstrate the protection given to the an- imals by this vaccination, and in view of the fact that the cost is not prohfb- itive, the safeguarding of the animals and the human family against this dread- ed digsase cannot help gain the support of the public.

Bill NIGHT ONLY TUESDAY, MAY 9th Sixty-Three Wills Sainte Claires s Day. In spite of all the obstacles that the elements could invent, C. M. Wills & Company broke all production records in the Marysville factories on Feiday, Mar@ 3ist. In that working day sixty- three Wills Sainte Claire cars weme ship- ped from Marysville. Marysville being in that part of Mich- fgan that was hit the hardest by the two-day ice storm, the production record was made in the face of nearly every conceivable handicap. With the plant in full stride and a train of empty freight cars waiting at the loading platform, the electric power in the plant was suddenly shut off for two hours. Ice-coated tel- ephone and telegraph poles toppled over and blocked the Gratiot road to De- troit. This shut off the supply of bodles be- ing rushed to Marysville. Then all the telephone lines out of Marysville went down. “We were aiming at seventy-five cars Friday,” said C. H. "Wills. “Ws are putting every ounce of energy into this effort to keep pacé with orders and to meet this overwhelming demand for Wills Sainte Claire cars. It seemed lasi week, when the elements were inventing éverything conceivable to block us, that every Wills Sainte Claire déaler in the country thought it a good time to wire us doubling or trebling his orders for im- mediate shipment. We are all set now, though, and, barring more blizzards or cyclones, we will break more production records in April.” T Strand—3 Blg Acts, Mon., Tues., Wed.
