To Liyen Up Association

There will be a meeting of the Busi- ness Mems Association this Thursday evening. A buffet lunch will be serv- ed. Plans will be discussed relative to businessmen's banquet to be held in the near future. 1t is the purpose to instill new life into the association and engender the spirit, "Push for Put nam.p
 It is realized that if Putnam is to get any of the new industries that are con- stantly looking for locations through out this section of New England the business men must be alive to their op. portunities or else the industries will all go elsewhere. There is no better location in Connecticut for large in- dustry than is Putnam but it must be made known and made attractive if Putnam is to gain the recognition it deserves.

Many Peach Buds Killed
Cold and High Wind Did Mach Dana,

Cold and High Wind Did Much Damage
 The extreme cold and fierce wind of the early days of last week hit the peach buds very hard according to J. II. Hale of Glastonbury, Connecticut's biggest peach grower.
 MT. Hale said Saturday: live been out today and made careful examni- nation and find that the number of buds killed by the cold and wind ranges from p per cent. in the low places to 90 per cent. on the higher ground. This damage on the high ground was caused by the wind.
 "rhis does not mean, however, that e2,5 to 38 par rent. of the crop fias ueen spoiled. The trees always put out many more buds than ever develop in- to fruit, and, with the danange of the past week taken into consideration there are still enough buds unharmed on the trees to give us good sized peach crop next summer.p

CHAMPIONSHIP
 UNDECIDED
Putnam Takes First Fall Out Of kil-
 lingly
Game Fast. Roughness Tabooed. Xiii.
 liugiy OutcIassed

Putnam won from their old rivals, Killingly High, on the Putnam floor last Friday night by score of Is to s. The win kept Killingly from carrying off championship honors of the Quine- baug Valley league and gives Putnam an opportunity to fight on an even footing for the supremacy. A deciding game or games will doubtless be ar- ranged for in the near future.
 Killingly's defeat at the hands of Putnam was the first they have suf- fered this season, paving won nine straight games. Both teams have now won six games in the league series. killingly was minus one of their best men and so was Putnam, each player being out under discipline of their res- pective schools. This put them on an even footing on this score.
 The game was fast and furious. It was apparent from the moment the whistle blew that there was to be no unnecessary roughness allowed and foul after foul was called during the irst period, and had the free-try shoot CTS had better eyes for the basket the game would not have been decided on it's merits, strictly speaking, but on fouls. In the second period they were not held so closely and the play was therefore faster. Fuller and Bennett, however, were sent to the sidelines as the referee thought they were too strenuous in offensive play. The game was exceptionally clean for one where so much was at stake and between two teams between which a strong rivalry has always existed.
 But when all is said Putnam out chased their opponents. The play was for the most part around Killing ly's basket and to get within shooting distance of Putnam's cage Killingly had to time and again resort to long throws which always denoees weak ness. There was some good passing in spots but for the most part tthe game was toe closely played to allow of Il passing exhibition for it was ques. stion of get rid of the ball at once or Hose it.
