The Palmer Memorial school, three
story stone and brick building at
Montville, erected about ten years ago
by Palmer Bros. quilt manufacturers,
whose mill is one Of the principal man
ufacturing plants of the town. was
totally destroyed by fire which broke
out a few minutes after midnight Sat
urday night and burned till early Sun
day morning.
In the building also were the public
library and lodge rooms occupied by
the Masons, the Odd Fellows and the
American Mechanics. These all lost
all their paraphernalia and records,
as practically nothing was saved from
the building.
Sunday only the blackened walls re-
manned standing, and it is. estimated
that the total loss in building and
equipment will be about $4,000.
According to the janitor. Frederick
Phillips, he had put out the fire in the
heater in the building on Friday, and
there was no other fire in the place.
The first to discover the blaze was
Frederick CrandalL, the stage driver,
who saw it in a corner school room on
the second floor. He sounded the
alarm at once and there was a response
from all within sight and hearing. but
there was little that could be done,
though FIVE streams of water were put
on the blaze.
Help was asked from New London
and the automobile apparatus from the
Niagara company was sent to Mont
vile, arriving at lis, but the building
was completely enveloped in flames by
that time.
Norwich bulletin., 1915-12-06

On the main floor of the building
was a school room and the public Ii
brary. The second floor contained two
school rooms and the assembly hall.
On the third floor were the lodge
rooms. 1t is understood that the
building cost to build about $4,000.
1t was erected by Palmer Bros, who
also bore much of the expense of it's
maintenance, and in about another
year would probably have turned the
building over to the town. 1t was up
to-date in every particular of equip
ment and was declared Sunday night
by Chairman C. w. Comstock of the
school board to be probably the best
school building in the state in any
community of similar size.
The three members of the school
committee-C. w. Comstock, chairman,
Roscoe Dart, secretary. and Frank H.
Rogers-went actively to work on
the school work of the 200 children
would not be interrupted for day by
the fire. - 1+e
Arrangements were made to have
school today (Monday) in the old
school building, now occupied as the
town hall, and in the Baptist church.
The seniors will be in the town hall
and the four other grades will be in
the Baptist church for today only, but
ON Tuesday the chapel of the church
will be so fitted up that the four
grades will move into that. School
will then proceed as usual under the
direction of Principal James d. MUIR
ply and his four assistants.
The school building is to be rebuilt
at once by Palmer Bros.

In connection with each some example

Of the practice of these virtues. In
his concluding words he said:
Let us all practice the virtues of

also try to be just to those who re-

SANTA CLAUS ARRIVES
ON SCHEDULE TIME.
Crowds Usher the Good Old Saint to
His Home at Porteous & MitcheII's.

That good old saint of the season,
Santa Claus, sent thrills of delight
through the hearts of hundreds of the
little folks of eastern Connecticut when
he arrived in visible form on Saturday
afternoon on the way to the store of
where he will make his home until
Christmas.
Straight from the North Pole he
came, and when he reached Plainfield
found an autotruck waiting, all prop
erly decorated with signs that told of
the place he was going to. Climbing
aboard the truck. he gave a nod to the
driver and they were off for this city,
passing down through Jewett City, and
everywhere along the way being greet
ed by the big crowds of eager children
who wanted to get a good close look
at their patron saint. They danced
and shouted with glee as he passed
along and did all they could to show
that a welcome was waiting for him
that will never grow old.
When the good old saint reached
Taftville he changed from the truck
into his special trolley car, gaily dec
grated with bunting and American
flags. That brought him straight to
the store through still more crowds
that greeted him along the way and
through the city streets.
Scoutmaster Benjamin Bruce, with
to meet Santa and escort him on his
memorable trip to Norwich. There
were bugler and a drummer in the
squad
In the finely furnished home at the
Porteous & Mitchell store is erected a
Christmas tree and on this he will hang
presents for some of those boys and
girls who Santa knows have been es-
pecially well behaved. In his workshop
he has ali kinds of toys and from this
assortment he will make his choices.
During the morning hours and on
days when the weather is not suitable
for the little folks to visit him in the
store window, Santa Claus will be
found in his workshop on the third
floor of the store from 10 to IL. Par
ents are invited to bring their children
to the workshop, and the elevator will
be at their disposal.
The window decorations and car
decorations were the result of efforts
of Daniel ]. Hinchey. who had the as
sistance of Joseph Farrell. The latter
did the printing of the signs for the
sides of the car, the cards on the ends
of the car and the lettering in the
window.

Mir. Stippich spoke on the subject
How to Live 100 Years After telling
of his early boyhood and the great
suffering he underwent while afflicted
with disease Mr.. Stippich went on to
give the men a few of the principal
rules of right living. Medicine. he
said, will tide you over a crisis but
nature is the real doctor. The first
rule he gave was controlled appetttes
and orderly living. Everyone should
live orderly We must eat and We
should eat nourishing foods. The laws
of nature say that % ounces of food
Is the daily apportionment for a man
weighing from $50 to 163 pounds.

green's. Mr.. Stippich urged the men
to AUSTRIAN from CONNECTIONS, pie and
cake.
The second rule Mr.. Stfppich gave
was to exercise regularly. The hap
Ply mind is 2-3 of the battle, said Mr..
Stippich. Exercise your mind first,
be optimistic, thoughtful and kind.
Mr.. Stippich said the cause of most
diseases was due not so much to ig-
norance of natures laws as to care
lessness and wilful disobediance.
Swahn's orchestra provided music
during the service. Next Sunday the
speaker will be Rev. Arthur Varley,
pastor of the Taftville Congregational
church.
