those eventful three days. Stories both humorous and pathetic are re- counted. It was not all fun being showed in. There were dark hours and anxious hearts in many New Brit ain homes. Dear ones who left home that Monday morning for work and school did not return at nightfall, nor the following day. In many instances it was we'll along towards night on Wednesday before the anxiety of those at home was allayed with reassuring messages or arrival of the long ab- sent members. Telephones were few and the system was of most element al kind and while it was used toadvan- tage during the three days of the blizzard it was up against a tremend- ous handicap and the service rem dered would not compare ifaintly to what is enjoyed today. New Britain knew nothing of street cars then and suffered from the lack of a thousand other conveniences which today would make a blizzard endurable.
 Kidding City of Drift.
 After the storm came the work of breaking out the drifts and reopen ing communication with the rest of the world. New Britain people en- joyed their share of fun and work do- ing this. The railroad lines were opened by a bucl<ing process, big To- comotives being coupled together and sent pellmell into the giant drifts, sometimes with success and quite as often to be stopped as suddenly as a halfback diving into an opposing line. Streets seemed mountain high with drifts and in the country districts roads were entirely obliterated. Tn many places it proved easier to drive tunnels than to dig channels through the drifts and it was days before full communication was restored with out lying districts. Where families were well stocked with provisions and fuel and all were safe and sound within doors the blizzard meant no great dis comfort. The experience was more than sufficient to discount this, but not all were well equipped to meet the condition and where there was sickness and death the hardship and sorrow was magnified. The blizzard was an experience which few who knew 1t would care to repeat but hav- ing seen 1t are never tired of recalling

 Under the head of new business, Dr. Reeks made a strong appeal for an assistant for Miss Carroll. He said that last month Miss Carroll made 229 calls which would average about ten @ day There is no question among those familiar with the work that the work in this city is too much for one nurse and the belief of the board Of health is that an assistant should be procured. The city took over the Tuberculosis work last May and consequently the only expense of the society this year would be the
