e DANIELSON Scores of people crowded the little beach and the waters of Moosup pond | Thursday, the weekly half-holiday for store workers in Dantelson and other cowns hereabeuts. At Chaubaugmaug lake near East Killingly, there was an- other large assemblage of those who en- joy half-holidays at the mid-week during the summer season. These two bodies of water are the only ones hereabouts at which bathing is permitted and they nave become increasingly popular, as bathing restrictions have been applied to Quinebaug lake and Alexander’'s lake, now both reservoirs for communities in this territory. At the home of her parents, Town Clerk and Mrs. Frank T. Preston, Wed- nesday afternoon, Miss Rachel Fuller Preston became the bride of Dr. Rey- nolds C. Mahaney of Owosse, Mich. The marriage ceremony was performad by Rev. B. U. Hatfield of Westerly, a form- er pastor of the - Danlelson Baptist hurch, now visiting here. There were no attendants. The wedding party in- cluded only the bridal couple and the tamily white, her dress trimmed with lace from her mothers wedding® gown. Dr. and Mrs. Mahaney left some time After the ceremony on a motor trip that will take them to varfous interesting points along a route to Michigan. Mrs. Mahaney is a graduate of Wellesley col- legs and of the Johns Hopkins Training echool for nurses, at Baltimore.

Reduction of the force of special deputy sheriffs that has been on duty about the plant and other property of the Aldrich Manufacturing _company plant, at Moosup, was taken Thursday, as indicating that the strike, which has endured since the end of June, is pass- the stage where It will gradual- r out. Thursday, approximately #0 per cent. of the normal complement of 700 employes at the plant was working. Whatever may be said or thought about this pal lar strike, no one can find ~ny legitimate reason for complaint about the orderliness with which it has been conducted. From the first it has DANIELSON AND PUTNAM NEWS of the bride, who was gowuea tn ! been quietly and peacetully conducted, though some threatening letters came in- to the hands of officials from those who were. threatened. ‘The facts that seem to hl.ve militated most against the strikers winning cut are that they left the one cotton manu- facturing plant where the last reduction of 22 1-2 per cent. in wages had 20t heen put into effect and where the workers were laboring only 50 hours a 'wssk as against 54 hours for otwer plants man- ufacturing similar lines of goois. The strikers, whatever real grievances they had, were better off than thousands of other cotton mill operatives in this town and towns hereabouts that remainsd at work. This is not an argument against the union principle but merely comment on the need of union officlals to use good judgment as to the time and place of calling a strike.

If any fisherman comes in this morn- ing with a weird tale of something he has seen along the Assawaga or Quine- baug rivers, between Danielson and Norwich, at least give it some cegree of credit, for it may be true. He may tell you that he saw a four pound pickerel doing the rocking horse with a muu vur- tle on the surface of the Quinebaug, a mile north of Jewett City, or mayhap that the entire river was shimmying from bank to bank down by ‘rartville—and it may be true, for few from first nand experience are competent to tes‘ify as to the exact effect of pouring 7200 bottles of honest-to-goodness beer, actuaily testing well over 5 per cent, into a river that also by actual test shows well unger one-half of one per cent. of alzohol.

Alfred LeFleur has returned from a visit of two wesks with rela:ives in Can- aday. An evidence of The Bulletin's publici- ty power in this territory was the large crowd gathered at Davis park Wednes- day evening to hear the concart by the Boy Scout band of Willimantic. No,oth- er public announcement of the unexpect- ed appearance . of the band her: was made except the one that appeared in this paper. Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Murray and their son, Leslie, and relatives made up a motoring party that visited in Hartford Thursday. Crowds from Danielson were at Wild- wood park Thursday evening for the mid-week dance at the pavilion. It is expected that Rev. James Ed- wards, a former pastor of Danielson Baptist church, will preach zat the church at the Sunday morning service. Mrs. Charles S.

Mrs. Margaret McDermott remains critically ill at her home on High street, little change in her condition having been noted of late.

The entire surfacing of the big hili at East Killingly was washed away in a terriffic thunderstorm late Thurslay afternoon. The roadway is so badly sul- lied that- traffic got through v culty. An expense of several dollars will have to be met in repairing the riads about East Killingly. A bawn belonging to Rufus Chase at East Kill- ingly was struck by lightning during the storm and destroyed by fire, while 1 Larn on the Andrews place was damaged by lightning. Hail accompanied the storm. At Ballouville the storm was also very severe. Hail stones as large as waliuts damaged-the building In that territory. PUTNAM “The wicked fleeth when no man pur- sueth.” Suppose your cellar was dryer ihan the lower regions and someone told you the police were going to raid your place for hooch, wi mule or brew, what would you do? Very likely you would sav: “Let them raid and have all the fun they want. I should worry!” If within the last 24 hours you have happened to notice some citizens of Put- nam sidle up to the police and hold a whispered conversation, probably you have thought, if you thought about it at all, that it was the weather or politics that was under serious discussion. But this is too hot a day to stretch a story. To get down to facts. the police have been very much surprised within = the space of the setting and re-setting sun to have a numlter of men approach them and ask them if it was so that their places were to be raided; several have asked that same direct question of the captain. The first did not cause any wonder or surprise; the second did some- what; but when it came to be repeated over and over the officers began to say, in effect: “Who's who, and what's what, and how about it?”° Some time ago tele- phone cails were sent about town and the messages were ‘phony” in more senees than one. Now comes this latest enigma. Someone is quietly tipping off citizens that they are to be raided by the police when there is no thought of a raid, and the one tipped off has never even come under suspicion. Apparently some of those tipped off did not do as the man with the dry cellar and innocent as a canary bird would do—nothing, but they ! hastened anxiously to the police to find out if it were so. All the police have said about it is that the inquiries are a fact. In all probability, however they are wondering why some of their Inquisi- tors are so anxious. Who the wholesale tipster is, is mot known. It looks like the same kind of “fun” that some person a little while ago derived by sending un- true telephone messages to the police and to citizens. After a journey of between 700 and 800 miles, a carrier pigeon alighted at the home of George C. Phillips, East Wood- stock. The, bird seemed tired and was quite tame.

The Scout band toured eastern Windham county as a reminder that the Williman- tic Elks are about to hold a carnival in the Thread City. A coincidence of the evening was the appearance of several “Rube” clowns advertising a K. of C. carnival to be held in Southbridge. The largest gathering of the year listened to the bands and * emjoyed the oufdoor dancing, notwithstanding it was the hat- test night of the summier.

The night fogs have been particularly heavy the past week and motoring has been a dangerous pastime if at a &k hour. One Putnam man who left V mantic just before midnight had to crawl home, not going above 15 miles an hour, and osrasionally having to stop to see if he was still on the road.

In the winter we speak of the “zood old summe# time.” but there are no thoughts of the extremely hot days then in mind. Nor do we consider the flies, the the mosquitos, the bugs and insects in gen- eral, and, least of all, these “hot enough for you” pests as one sits by the open fireplace and pictures the green grass, the birds and the flowers. while the snow is oteadily piling up outside. Just now if one could get out with the snow shovel and attack a four-foot drift it would secm happiness indeed. But it will be here soon enough and incidentally the coal bin is groaning in its hollow empti- ness. The haymakens are happy. even in the absence of the cider jug. thanks to a man named Volstead, backed by a national congress. From observation it weuld seem that. were the officials of the Connecticut company to purchase new automobiles, they would buy the enclosed type. There are owners of this type of car who will argue that they are warmer in winter— which is granted—but will go a step fur. ther and try to make the unsophisticated believe that they are equally as oool in summer. That is hard for the carless in- dividual to credit. Tt has been some years since the local trolley line has fur- nished open cars to the public, and per- haps it may never be again. Like the owner of the couve. limousine or sedan type of motor vehicle, the officials of the trolley company would probably answer, if complaint should be made, that with the windows all open the ciosed car type is quite as cool in the summer, and is surely warmer in the winter. But te the public sitting in a dusty plush seat in an enclosed trolley car. even with the win- dows open, is not as cool as riding in the open on an onen car. It may be psycho- logical, but it is the fact nevertheless and open cars on the Putnam trolley | line would. be welcome any time the vem- pany sees fit to make the change.
