An unusually good record of freedom from, motoring. accidents in Danielson marked the holiday period, or at least that part of it up to the time this was being written, late -Monday afternoon. Hardly a week-end has passed this summer without reports of serious or fatal accidents being turned i, but the Labor day holiday period was singularty and pleasingly free from such incidencs as the recording of sad events that have developed with appalling regularity throughout the season, Neither the local or state police had any reports of accidents of any oonse- quence up to late Monday afternoon, and much credit must be given drivers who were out in Monday's bad going for avoiding such under the difficult driv- ing_conditions. Mr. and Mrs. Lester Bill of St. Johns- bury, Vt, were holiday visitors , with Judge and Mrs. Arthur G. Bill of Maple street. Rev, Joseph Edward Shelley, M. S., has been assigned as an assistant at St. James' church to succeed Rev. Walter J. Greene, M. S., who has returned to Hartford, where he will edft the Mis- sionary Magazine. Mr.” and Mrs, P. F. Murray, Leslie Murray and Mr, and Mrs. Edward Hatch motored to Fall River to spend the holiday period.

The occupants. 2 man and a woman, escaped Without in- jury and as the accident hasimot been Teported to the police the man's hame is unknown. +The accident” was ' brought about through peculiar circumstances. A small boy discovered a grapevine by the side of the road. It had grown and en- twined ftself about a climbed the tres and was swinging high above the roadway on tiie vine. Patients in the rooms on the north side of the hos- pital“saw the boy in his perilous position. They were ajtracted by his shouts and hoots. "At fiest it was not determined | what he was doing, but it develdped that he’ was calling to automobile drivers who drove beneath him. A car came down the hill at a moderate rate of speed. The boy-hooted and the driver looked up. In the few .seconds that the drivers -eyes were off: the road the machine crashed into the fence. The crash was heard in the hoepital and assistance was immedi- ately. eendered. It was found that the only damage was to the car, which later was towed away. The members of the Nightingale base- ball team, With ‘the aid of the Knights of | | Columbus “team * of. Frankfin, Mass., staged a comedy of errors on Main street grounds Sunday afternoon.. At.the grand finale the score was 9 to 4 in favor of the Putnam team. - The'13 runs which were scored in the nine innings were the result. for the most part, of the dozen errors that were generously sprinkled through the contest. The'chie? offender was Mc- Carthy, at third for the Caseys, who pull- ed a’quartet of misplays that were all to Putnam's advantage. : A new pitcher made his bow before the Putnam fans, and his name is Tobin. He is a valuable addition to the local lineup and his work impressed the big crowd that was ‘on hand for the game most fa- vorably. 'He has a slow ball that fools the batters consistently. He also wields a mean willow and connected for two hits, one; of which was a flikie home rum, In the ‘seventh he drove thie ball to deep | center, and Simmler in chasing it tripped over-a stone. He was thrown and struck his head. Before other fielders could get at the ball Tpbin had ‘cleaned the bases and made the circuit. At the time two Putnam ' runners weee on the sacks. Simmler Tecelved a bad‘blow on the head and was uriconscious for a few minutes It was some time before play was re- sumed. ) The . game moved rather slowly throughout. There was little or no clever fielding. Maher and DeForest gave a It etofich of excitement -in the thied when they pulled a double stead success- tully.

Dix_and Sada Cowan and suggested by Leorfard Merrick’s notable story, “The Laurels and the Lady” is one of absorb- ing appeal while the production in point of .direction, setting #nd acting is as far above the average motion picture as the tropical sun is different from the arc- tic moon. It is a uccession of surprises, dramatie momen \—that grow in intensity as they follow each other on the screen, and the character portrayals are gems of mimentic art.
