 The freight terminal situation is
 at a standstill, no developments
 having taken place lately and nothing done to alleviate the crowded con- dition of Furnace avenue when the
 trolley freight comes in. Norman Gold of the Hudson Garage O., started Sunday on a trip to Detroit, Mich. as guest of the Hud-
 son Motor Go. He will also visit the plants of the Ford Co. and the Dodge Bros., while there. He is expected
 to be gone for several days There is quite little complaint of
 the dust on Main street Sundays,
 afternoons especially, during this dry
 weather. The streets are watered
 late Saturday, but not Sunday. There is so much automobile traffic on Sun. day that by afternoon the dust is quite disagreeable. It would be quite
 an improvement if the street could
 be wet down at least once on Sunday. The Stafford Athletic association
 held their henofit on Thursday even. ing at the Comique theatre and the
 attendance was record breaker for
 the house. Even the standing room
 was crowded and many did not try to get into the hall. There was five.
 reel film of Mary Pickford in "suoh
 a Little Queen," which portrayed
 that clever actress at her best, and
 one reel of the Connecticut track
 championship, held at New Haven.
 Some very good talent was secured
 for between the reels, and Miss May
 Hirsch gave a reading that was appreciated. Scussel brothers performed on stringed instruments, and Mrs.
 T. F. Mullen sang several selections
 to the delight of the large audience.
 Richard Valentine closed the pro-
 gram by reading. About $12O was
 realized by the entertainment and the
 association is highly elated over the
 marked appreciation of the public of
 such worthy cause. The association will begin at once to pick out the
 men who will participate in the sports, and the only stipulation is
 thataall participants must be residents of Stafford.
