DANIELSON There was nothing lacking at the state armory Friday evening to make the an- mual reception of the Killingly High Bchool Alumni association fn honor of the senlor class and the dance that follow- ed the usual pronounced soclal success. The big drill shed and ihe balconies were filled to their capacity with those who came to dance and those who came restricted to gaining their enjoyment of the occasion from observation of others who attended. The reception furnished cpportunity for large numbers to offer congratula- tions to the graduates and to members of the faculty of the school who stood in the recetving line. The long dance period that followsd the Teception was a period of deligh for graduates, alumni and the hundreds of others who came to enjoy a function that each year adds to the prestige of the re- ception as a social event The armory was prettily decorated for the annual event. Music was by Wood's sugmented novelty orchestr: Rumor has 1t that lack of fands will prevent the completion of the state-aid tretch of highway that is being built from Dayville east past the town farm to the state highway leading from Day- vill and through Attawaugan to Putnam unless the town taes some action that will give authority to the selectmen to proceed, in conjunction with the state, in carrying out the work It appears at the present time that funds now available will not be ufficlent 1o complete more than half the jo that had been undertaken. While tais cannot be classed as a calamity, it certainly will constitute a very great disappointment for many hundreds of motorists who would find the cut off a great convenience an_dtime saver for them.

WOOD Funeral Director and Embalmer DANIELSON PHONE 147 PUTNAM While in the city Friday, Governor Everett J. Lake took the opportunity to call on a number of friends whom he knew years ago while living in the neigh- boring town of Woodstock. The gov- ernor went to Woodstock in the after- noon and there presented the diplomas to the graduating class and talked to the school and the citizens of the town of his birth. No harm resulted and a tansled mass of arms and legs was soon straightened out following the fall of a staging on the platform of the Bradley theatre on Thursday afternoon. The staging Wwas erected as in former years to seat in tiers the four classes of the Putnam High school. The pupils were seated upon the staging during a reeharsal when the supports gave way letting them down. There were screams and cries and for a moment it was feared that someone had been hurt but as soon as possible the mass of young humanity was untangled and the whole matter that might have been serious was treated as a joke. The damage was soon repaired. Mr. and Mrs. John A, C. Warner ar- rived from Washington, D. C., Thurs- day night to be present at the wedding of Mr. Warner's sister, Miss Frances Lester Warner, which occurs today. ‘William H. Hughes has gone to Vir- ginia to spend several weeks with their friends. He may remaim.south for some time. For the first time in weeks the fire de- partment was called out Friday after- noon. They found a emall fire near a barn. The fire had been started by children and was quickly extinguished without any loss, Word has been recelved from Luelus P. Merriam, who is at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. Mr. Merriam has for some months been losing flesh. In all he has lost sixty peunds. He left Monday for the Boston hospital to have an examination performed in hopes to find what the cayse of his loss of weight 1s. It has been decided that a gland in his neck is affected and that an operation will be performed or that ra- dlum treatment will be resortéd to. It Is stated that the trouble is curable and that after a few weeks he will be return- ed to normal health, At least six operations for appendi- citls were performed at the Day Kimball hospital the past week. Among those operateqd on were: Omer Morin, Putnam ; Miss Marion Ericson, Thompson; Miss Bella Bonneville. Putnam; Miss Marga- Iret Gelssler, Abington; Miss Flora Mo- rin, Putnam’; and James Wood of Wood- rapld progress southward. In this ter- ritory the colors of Harvard predominat- ed on the south-bound cars, though mot a few bearing the immortal blue of Yale were included in the procession. Incidentally Danielson and the sur- rounding towns furnished 2 sizeable del- egation of race devotees. People from this territory motored to the banks of the Thames and found parking places from which to view the race to advan- tage. Foundations are being put in at Day- ville for a stockhouse to be bullt by the Assawaga Woolen company and forms buflt for the foundations for the side track that will make it possible to bring cars from the New Haven road into the yard of the mill company. The work un- derway will not be completed until late in the summer’ but will effect a great im- provement. At South Killingly work on another bullding project is getting underway—the building of a community house. Trench- es for the foundations for the bullding have been dug. Generous residents cf the vicinity have pledged themselves to glve the stone necessary for nse in bullding the foundations and also will employ their teams In hauling them to e, site. When completed the Commun- ity house will give South Killingly such a social center as has been needed for a long time, and the prospect of having it is anticipated with pleasure by the en- tire community. Chief John MeFarland of the police department gives early notice that the observance of the Fourth by enthusiastic citizens -must be within the limitations set down by the statutes and that undue bolsterousness during the hours from midnight of the night before until day- | light of the Fourth will be dealt with as the lawdirects. It fs not expectsd that the three or four hours from midnight to daylight will be as qulet as a summer afternoon in Quadic, but those who would disturb the peace of other citizens who are at rest will be taking their chances with the law if they become to indiscreet in their activities, the nature of which is well known to everyone who has been a boy during the past hundred years. It was remarked by old graduates of Killingly High school Friday that some- thing bigger should be done by the Alum- ni association of Killingly, high cchool than has been evidence for the past dec- ade. The alumni membership grows year by year and many come back for the annual reception to the senior class, a splendid affair each year, but it is not distinctively a graduate function, such as many would like to ses. Visions rise up In the minds of many graduates of other and distant years of how nice it would be to have some speclal affair especially for the graduates, where they could for- gather and renew school day acquaintanc- s and discuss events of later years, Per- haps the Alumni asoclation will do this some year. It is mot beyond the possi- bilities for a live executive committee backed by the good will of the association membership. Maybe next year will bring the innovation—whatever it may be. It certainly wuold be welcome to a great many. Farmers say that the week of rain has been of inestimable benefit to grass crops, however the dreary period of weather may have been regarded by the average himan being not concerned with the pro- ducing of crops, but rather with helping dispose of some of them during the vea Several students of the senior class of Killingly High school will go out of the territory this fall to enter upon their college ‘studies. Yale will attract some, Brown other, Connecticut college and Mt. Holyoke still others. The advance detall of the Service hat- tery has its arrangements practically completed for leaving here next Wednes- day for Camp Fustis, Va. The batt will leave for camp next Saturday m ing, July 1. Not a word has been uttered so far about band concerts on Davis park this summer. It appears that the borough may be set upon In the not distant future to furnish the funds for what may be termed & series of municipal concerts. The borough can afford it and the citlzans would appreclate it—If they get ood concerts, worth the money paid for them. DEPGSITS .
