NORWICH BULLETIN, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1922 DANIELSON AND DANIELSON s is the eve of election. If any voter of the town of Killingly is not at the polls tomorrow it will not be the fault ofs the party workers. More effort has been expended within the last two weeks ingaronsing the interest of the electorate in} Killingly than has been the case in mseveral years. A fleet of automobiles that ingludes about every public service car in town, and many private, machines, are ‘ready to go to work tomorrow morning, when voters wil begin to come to the polls at 6 a. m. (Fhis year the democrats are showing unusual activity, and this has urged the republican leaders to perfect their plans fof getting out as near 100 per cent. of their voting strerigth as may be possible. | W this election there. will be three polling places in Killingly—at Danielson, Déyville and East Kilipgly. Three sep- aite sets of election officials will be on dty, with the moderator of the election in! Danielson. Here in Danielson, clubs, ‘theatres and other organizations are planning to ob- tain election returns. Results from many sections of the country will be obtained by telegraph, telephone and radio. In this part of the county special interest cepters in the outcome in the towns of Plainfield and Thompson. ~The, republi- cams appear quite confident of the out- some i Plainfleld, but realize they have an unusually stiff fight on. their hands in ompeon. In Putnam and Killingly the republicans appear very confident of vie- tory, and winning in these two towns, and an even break in the smaller towns, with Windham showing its usual political preference, means victory for the repub- licans in Windham county, Signs pointing the way to Providemoce hawe.been put up by Selectman John. A. sifbert at the junction of Main and Rey- nolds streets. This is a decided advan- tage to the scores of touring motorists who have missed the mew route in the past two months because of the lack of such signs. “Selectman Gilbert said Saturday that the signs which have been crected are snly temporary in their nature but they serue theie purpose. ~Attention.continues 10 be centered on the watering font that has stood at the junction of Main and Reynolds streets for years. Many are of .the opinion that the font should be removed. It is not in very general use, afid owners of valuable horses hesitate to allow the animals to drink there, for much the same ccason as persons prefer individual drinking cups to the common varfety. The removal of the font rests, how- sver, with the borough officials and not those of the town. Whether it goes or remains seems to be a moot question at this time, but those who drive cars will be frank to assert that it is a menace to public safety and sooner or later is bound, to cause a serious accident. Traffic out of Massachuseits and Rhode Islind, particularly from the latter state, poded through Danieison Saturday mofning, ' the majority of the cars en rodis to the Yale-Brown game at New Hawen. Diversion of this traffic through Dabielson. was entirely due to the opem- ing of the new highway from Providence vis Little Rest. Ordinarily, this rush of cary woudd have gone over the Boston * road from Providence to Westerly, London and on, but the majority of seemed to ler the mew Danjelson saw hundreds of never would have come through A Yyear ago. .

The 240 cases of beer are real beer—with an alcoholic conten: well in excess of the one-half of 1 pet cent lowad by the Volstead act. Phis (Mon- day) afternoon at Central Village John Winters, driver of tHe truck when it was seized, will be arraigned before a justice to answer to a charge of transporting intoxieants through this state. Mr. Win- lers will be defended by Attorney Arthur G. Bill of Danielson, who appeared for him when he first was presented in court last week.

Putnam, Nov. 5.—Involving one of the largest real estate deals that has oc- curred in Putnam in years the Putnam Savings Society bank has bought of William St. Onge, a wooden business block: on Main street which the bank { will teaF down to make way for a mod- ern banking building for its own us For some time it has been rumore that when the First National Bank start- ed to enlarge its banking building which for. years, in fact almost from the be- ginning of banking institutions in Put- nam, has housed the Savings Society in its upper story, the Savings Bank would | remove so that the First National might | utilize its whole flooring space to take care of its increasing businesms. ! When the rumor of the real estate! transter became current Saturday morn- | ing it was confirmed by an official of the Savings bank who stated that was the purpose of the bank to te down the wooden structure and erect a modern building. Further than that the bank would occupy the ground floor of the building no plans have been made | as to the style of architecture, size or. shape of the building. Both the matter lot having an architect draw suitable ' plans at once is assured and the. mat- | lter t building will progress at, an early date’ has been definitely decided upon. The block is one of the dand marks of {“Old Putnam.” Years ago the basement iwas occupied by Randall & Pray as a 4s a meaf marketmmmmmmmmmmm meat market while on the second floor was a_fmillinery store conducted by a Mrs. Murfey, who was succeeded by Miss Hattie Kennedy. There was also a Chinese laundry on this floor. For a time the top story was occupied as a tenement. 3 The present occupants of the. building are: Bates Electric Shop and Amidee Lucier's plumbing shop. On the eop floor is_the Arcanum club rooms and a tailor shop. The block was purchased by Mr. St. Onge some years ago from R. H. Bradley. The change in the business section will be a great improvement and will lessen the present fire hazard. On the south of the site is‘a wooden structure and al- 50 on the north. In the course of events in the development of the city these ante- quated structures will give way to mod- ern fire proof buildings. evening, a number of residents of Taft- ville. being his guests. Miss Alice A.-Benson of Fall River spent Sunday with:friends in Danielson. P. M. Langery; sceretary of the state of Massachusetts will be one of: the speakers at the’ republican ‘rally to be held in the town hall ‘this-(Monday) ev- ening. Congressman R. P. Freeman will be the other speaker. Mr. Langery :re- places_ Col. Hiram Bingham of New Haven who was to have talked here. Willlam Kampf escaped from Brook- ¥y¥yn jail Saturday afternoon, slipping out while a door’ was temporarily left un- guarded while milk cans were being tak- en 'into the jail.. Kampf was arrested at Putnam about three weeks ago and pleaded guilty in the Putnam city court for stealing overcoats and other articles from automobiles. He was bound over to the superior court and held for bonds and-was being held at the jail for trial during the January term. Up to Saturday night no trace of Kampf had been found. George G. Polley, the human fly, scal- ed the south side of theee story Union blok, Saturday afternoon at 2.30. o'- clock while a crowd that filled Union square and blocked all traffic looked on. Polley preceded his climb with one or two humorous stories and some remarks to get the crowd in g#od nature. He ex- perienced little difficulty in reaching the top and doing a few stunts at that height such as standing on his head. During the climb he staged a few fake mear-falls which gave some a funny feeling in the pit of the stomach as they looked to sge a body dashed to pulp on the hard side- walk below. Two superior court cases have been a: signed to Putnam. A. W, Green vs. Will- jam S. Brown and Annie McGregor vs. Caroline B. Fisher. Both afe actions on notes and will be tried to jury on November 21st and November 22nd. These cases were by special assignment in Putnam to accommodate witnesses from this end of the county. Through her .counsel, Searls, Eussell & Bradford, Mrs, Ruth Babcock, for the past three years a resident of Putnam, has brought an action of divorce against her husband, Harold L. Babcock of Roch- ester, N. Y. The writ has been return- ed to the superior court and alleges in- tolerable cruelty. Mrs, Babcock also asks for the custody of her son, Jack, seven yeass old, who has made his home with his mother since the couple separat- ed. Mr. and Mrs. Babcock were married June 30th, 1913, A new low record for 18 holes at the Putpam: Country club has been establish- ed by the club professional, Clarence Booth. Mr. Booth in play with Charles Dean made a 35 going out and a 34 com- ing in a total of 69. Mr. Booth's previous low was 70, which he made twice. When Jesse. Guilford, the former world's ama- teur champion, played the Putnam course he got a 71, is 72, Miss Cecelia Lessard, Red Cross Nurs- ing Service nurse has made her report for the month of October. During that period she had 217 patients under her care. She made 220 nursing visits, 85 advisory and welfare visits, 5 social ser- vice' calls and 10 visits in confinement cases. During the month she colleced $21.80 in fees for the Red Cross Nurs- ing “Service and $67.25 in Metropolitan fees. Since an automobile has been se- cured for Miss Lessard she is able to m: many more calls than formerly and the increased unt of work be- ing done evidences that the futomobile was a necessity in covering the whole city as is now being done daily. i Hebrews in Putnam are seeking a plot of land for a’ Hebrew cemetery. There are such cemeteries in Norwich and in ‘Willimantic.. ‘There has been a_consid- erable increase in the number of Hebrews in Putnam and they have a fine syna- gogue on Main street in what was form- erly an Episcopal church. - i The eity has reesived from Dr. W. H. Harris of Providence .a deed to a piece of land in the outskirts of the southern part of the city. The land is vaula- ble and may at some time be used as'a city dump. It is in close proximity to the Norwich & Worcester branch of the N. Y., N. H. & H. railroad and would make a good sight for a manufactur- ing plant. Putnam s experiencing the greatest ‘building boom in many years. At pres- lent one new business block is tomplet- ed and nearly filled with occupants; two more are nearing complétion, one build- ing to be used for a garage is well un- der way and an addition to the First National bank was started this week. Work on two large school buflding ad- ditions, at St. Mary’s and Israel Putnam school, ‘are well under way and there are also a number of private .dwellings in various stages of completion. s The Juniors of the Putnam High school gave one of their enjoyable affairs in the bigh school auditorium, Friday night. ‘The' entertainment was a masquerade Harvest.and Hallowe'en dance beginning it 7.45. o'clock.

The. clvil action of John E. Wisher vs. Pistro DeCarlo was tried before A. S. Macdonald, justice of ‘the peace, Satuh- day morning. The plaintiff claimed $63 for 9 weeks' board at $7 a week. The plaintiff denied he owed the money and set up a counter claim for work done in plaintiff's garden. - The court found that the board bill was due the plaintiff and that the work performance Was performed in the garden of the defendant and not for the plaintiff. Notwithstanding that Putmam is a republican - stronghold in national- and state eleetion the town committee has ararnged for getting out every avail- able voter next Tuesday. The presence of the name of G. Harold Gilpatric on the state ticket will assure a larger vote. than usual as he will. without a doubt draw many a vote from the ‘op- position party. Members of the Putnam Arcanum eluh went into the wilds of West Woodstock Saturday night, on the club's first an- nual coon hunt. Up to a Jlate hour Sunday evening many of the party had not put in an appearance and there was little * golfting by Arcanumites on the Sabbath day. Although some af the party followed the dogs wherever they might lead it is said that others did not get far fromrsthe main highway. How- ever all enjoyed a midnight luncheon. No invitations to a coon supper have as yet been sent out but it_is not certain -that the reason for this is because no coons were bagged. The report will be made around the club stove this evening.
