NEW ENGLAND CONSERVATISM

From every side comes the appeal to
main in the savings banks and coupled
with the appeal comes the expression of
assurance that if this is done, the SC
called panic will soon end. What effect
these appeals will have in conservative
New England, although, no doubt, they
state the exact truth, is not known. 1t
is natural that bank failures in other
parts of the country and the whole or
partial cessation Of operations by GER
tain New England industries should
cause apprehension among these de-
positors and while each realizes that
leaving money in the banks will go
q long way toward righting industrial
conditions, yet, he believes there is risk
prefers that the other fellow shall take
1t and withdraws his funds and keeps
them in his home or some other place of
less safety than the local banks although
the institution is managed by men of
reliability and high standing in the COM
munity, men who have exerted such
careful study and foresight that they
have been uniformly successful in their
business undertakings, and men who ex-
ercise even more caution when invest
ing bank funds than when making per-
sonal Investments We do not believe
there is bank anywhere in the NEWS
territory, whether it be Canaan, Falls
Village, Lakeville. Winsted or Millerton,
but is as solid to-day as it was one year
ago.
And this because Of the careful man
agement just mentioned.
Have faith in your neighbors and
friends who are managing these institu-
tions. They are safeguarding your in
terests as zealously now as in the past.

Great Darlington Wants Ii

Great Darlington wants one of Ca
naan's industries, The Reliable Manu-
featuring Company. Last weeks Berk-
shire Courier said: ct. J. Kearin, pres
ident of the Mems Club. is in cores
pondence with the Reliable Manufac-
president is Walter j. Roberts, and has
hope that arrangements may be made
for the removal of their factory to this
place.
The Reliable Manufacturing Co. has
been in business few years and is said
to have operated with success, manu-
featuring mems half hose and children's
stockings. Their product is of a special
nature, being put up four pairs III box
and warranted for four months.
The company desires to move, since it
wishes to double its present capital of
$25, 900 and can not get the necessary
financial support in Canaan, and is
afraid of being unable to secure enough
labor there even if the money should be
obtained. Mr.. Kearin believes that the
Russell Wooden Mill would be an excell-
ent plant for them and is assured by its
owners that it can be leased or pur-
chased on favorable terms, while the
Great Darlington Electric Light Co.
would furnish power at a reasonable
figure.
Although little is known OF the COM
pany locally, it is said to bear good
reputation in the business world, and
was favorably mentioned in Springfield
recently while negotiations were being
made to have the factory removed to
that city.
Italians Going Back.
Now that the dull season with the
lime companies has arrived and many
of the kilns are being closed, some of the
Italian workmen, from the East
Canaan the neighborhood, are prepar-
ing TO return to their native land to
nothing out of the ordinary, and is
the case every year where large gangs
Of laborers are employed. The Italians
come to this country in the spring aud
soon find employment. They live fru-
gally during the summer and in the fall
or early winter, when the work is suoh
that there is likely to be a lay off, they
get ready to return to sunny Italy. The
return is not made so much to get into
warm climate as for the saving in living
expenses that is assured. BY working
hard all summer and living in hutlike
abodes, they manage to save a good siz-
ed sum. To loaf around in this country
all winter would put big hole in their
summer savings. Not so on the other
side of the big pond. In Italy they can
live much cheaper and in far better style
on little. Their too, many of the laborers
are married men with families. They
leave their families in the old country,
come to the United States and work and
at this time of year return to them.

I am In favor of reducing the assessments,

yielded by present assessments will not be
necessary.
