He.is a man of his word, and the first - letter, ddted Mountain View, J., Dec. 12, arrived Thursday morning. Well, here we are, just 175 miles from home all O. K. Left Pachaug Sunday morning, Dec. 19, at nine o'clock and drove as far as Southport, Conn., 103 miles. At five o'clock it was too dark to drive on a strange road, so we stopped and made camp for the night We found a fine place to camp, but it ‘was very cold, only 14 above when we were ready for our supper. The cook went into the storage seotion of our house to bring out the dinner pot,. which had in it three fine chickens all cooked and ready to warm up. They weren't to be found, pot and all h Deen somehow overlooked in our hurried start, and they areé back in“old Pachaug. Of course “Bill” got tlie blame for leay- ing them. We had a fine supper of pork chops, which Mrs. George Brown of Pachaug gave us, they were from a 2 pound hog that she had just had dress- ed off. After supper we arranged our Toom for the night and just before turning in Tolooked at the thermometer. Outside it was 10 above, on the inside up near the roof it was 120, but under the bed, zero. We left Southport next merning at 9.30 for Mountain View, N. J., where we arrived at 5 Tuesday evening, mak: ing 71 miles the second day. Here the thermometer was 40 degrees above, some agreeable change for us from 10 above the day before. We stay here with my daughter a few days, then off for the south. Will write again. Sign- {ed.

Felix Devlin, a lad not quite 8 years 0ld, accompanied by his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Sullivan of Hart. ford, and by Miss Clark of the Child Welfgre Bureau, was taken Thursday to S/ John's school at Deep River.

Judge Brown ordered a stay purpose of further investigatio a result, after visiting the Riverside school |for the boy's record, he was taken to St. John's school. A man was heard to remark Thurs- day afternoon as he took mnote of the rapidly gaining snow, “Ge sut your double-rippers.” This remark caused several ‘of the older omes to wonder whatever became of the, nothing less than wonderful _double-rippers, that used to be the pride of the Jewett City boys and girls. John Tracy and Frank Bishop used to have oné that established records net yet forgotten. _ After the snow had - been worn smooth and hard, the best coasting was on Taylor hill. Not once, but all the evening lon, this famous sled with eight or nine boys and girls sandwiched in tight (the closer the better), made the trip from the very brow of Tayler hill to the Ashland bridge. a good quarter of a mile. In Jewett City today are doz- | ens of pretty well advanced bovs and girls that rode upon that double-ripper forty years ago. It is @ safe bet that mot one has for- gotten yet, nor_ever will, the awful sec- ond or two when the gréat sled swept into the curve in front of Tom Lee's, and *straightened, under - the skillful {d.idance of the steersman, like an ar- row from the bow for the last drop dowh the Ashland incline.

Bicknell was _apprehended Thursday evening by Officer MaLean when the man was causing disturbance in front of J. Keller's store, Mr. and Mrs. Price in company with a man named Potter came out of the Sadd block where they live and started down the street in a drunken condition. Officer McLean warned them back into the house but they refused and when they reached the front of Buck's grain _store Mrs. Price fell and began to talk wildly. Of- ficer McLean summoned a jitned and placed the trio under arrest. Mra. Price had to be carried from the ar into the cell room and upon being searched two bottles of Jamalca ginger were found in Price’s clothing. Potter had not been drinking much and was later released.

Thursday a snow storm with the true color of winter struck the borough, showing close to six inches at carly nightfall. There were peculiarities about the storm, f that what light air there was moving came from the southwest. About 4 o'clock the wind slowly backed to the northeast, which is the quarter from which snow in any amount may be_expected. Wednesday night at ten o'clock the mercury stood at 16 above. A Httle aft- er midnight, and within an hour the temperature rose to 28. All during the storm the readings were at 31 and 32, with the. snow falling almost straight down. During the evening boys were out with- their sleds, and automobile | drivers were putting on their chains. Only such pedestrians as found it neces- sary to be out were seen on the streets. The meeting of Anne Brewster F ning chapter, D. A. R.. was held at home of Mrs. G. H. Jennings on Wednes- day afternoon. Mrs. E. A. Faust served with Mrs. Jennings as hostesses. The paper of the afternoon was on Immigra- tion, written by Mre. A. M. Brown. She gave a brief summary of the four. pe riods in which immigration is divided commencing with the Colonial times in 1935,—the native Amecrican and know- nothing period from 1335 to 1860—the end of state control from 1361 to 1882 | and national control from 1882 to the | present time. The three perceént emerg- ency measure caused because of the | increased immigration in 1921 when 117,502 immigrants came to this coun- try. 1t this country's unemployed are to be saved during business reconstruction some measure had o be adopted. Be- | cause of so many special cases a board ' of review was appointed which has been | in operation daily sirice last January, | and has very successfully handled all such cases. The secretary of labor has before congress a Dbill, the purpese of | is to educate ming popu- | and Americanize them. Dr. Robert Sweeney says the test of phychology should be used to determine the mentality of immigrants. The paper was_excellent and was written after much research from authentic authors conversant with this urgently important subject. ~ Refreshments were served by the hostesses. The board in charge of the schools of the town have decided that no night schools shall be held at Riverside Gram- mar school this winter. The question of | fuel Is one reason. It %5 a matter to be deplored as there were more than fifty who had expressed their wish to attend the night school. This school one year received ‘the first prize and last year the second prize from the State D. A. R. One of the teachers offered her services free of charge, excepting for transportation. The schools have been a source of great profit_and education to the puplls who attended them.
