ICE IS SAFE, BUT THE
 SKATING IS NO GOOD.
Work on New Road at Mohegan Park
 Discontinued.

Superintendent Duff of Mohegan park reports that the ice on the skat- ing pond at the park is safe, but not in satisfactory condition for skating. Just before the snowstorm the ice on the pond measured little over an inch, but the snow spoiled it. Although some boys are skating on the ice, it is just snow ice.
 One of the features of the pond lies in the fact that the deepest part, which is in the north center, is only four and one-half feet, while the average depth of the pond is about two feet, which makes the skating perfectly safe as far as drowning is concerned.
 The work on the new road which is being constructed from the main lake to Taftville has been postponed until spring. The men that have been em- ployed on the road construction have been let go and the work will be taken up again in the spring. Super intendent Duff reports that he has had considerable trouble during the past year in getting the necessary labor to develop different phases of the work at the park.

CHA'NUkkAH
Orthodox Jews Will Start Celebration
 This Evening.

Chanukkah begins on the 18th of Kislev fDec. 20, the ninth month of the Jewish calendar) and lasts eight days. It commentaries the victories of the great Jewish heroes. the Mac cabees, over the Syrian king, Antio- chus Epiphanes, who many years ago sought to destroy the religion. It eel ebrates the triumph of Judaism over idolatry.
 A feature of this festival is the lighting of candles, known as Chanuk- kah lights. On the first evening of Chanukkah we light one candle;- on the second. two; on the third, three, and so on till we reach the eighth evening, when we hndle eight lights.
 In commemoration of this historic event, the Young Judaea Club, con- sisting of girls from 12 to 15 years of age will celebrate by playing that great Biblical production, Chanu1kah Live On, or Jacob Mendorva's Dream, under the direction of Rabbi Joseph Silver. The play will be staged at the Auditorium theatre, Sunday, December 24 1916.

MAIL UNUSUALLY LIGHT
 AT NORWICH POST OFFICE
Postmaster Murphy Urges the Early Mailing of Christmas Cards and Gifts.

The Christmas mail at the Norwich post office so far is lighter than in former years, although the business is gradually picking up.
 With Christmas less than a week away, Postmaster John P. Murphy wishes to remind the patrons of the office of the course that parcels and holiday cards must follow before reaching destinations so that it may be clearly understood why early mail ing is necessary. AlI' packages ex- ceeding the size of an ordinary shoe box, for western states, must be sent to Springfield, Mass, terminal rail- way post office, to be reworRed in compliance with rules governing the transportation and working of mails by the railway mail service.
 No cards to speak of have been mailed as yet, and when it is realized that hundreds of thousands of Christ mails, that must follow the same rou- tine as Christmas packages before reaching destinations. senders should mail cards at once if same are to be delivered by Christmas.
 Another matter that is concerning the postal employees, is the probability of having a storm interfere with the mail trains during the next few days Two years ago Snowstorm two or three days prior to Christmas tied up traffic and paralyZed the mail service for the time. Such a storm this year would make absolutely impossible the deIiverp of packages and cards before Christmas if mailed but a few days before the holiday. as the mails are enormous this year as compared with other years.
 Mail your Christmas remembrances now.
 The sub station in the Thayer build ing is proving to be a great conven- fence and is a time-saver for many.

GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES
 ON THAMES RIVER CHANNEL
Proposed to Dredge Between AIlyn's
 Point and This City.

In his annual report to congress on the work of tn eengineer division of the United States army, General Will liam M. Black, chief of the division, quotes from the reports of Colonel c. H. McKinstry, district engineer, To- done in the rivers and harbors of Connecticut.
 The report shows that the existing project for the improvement of the harbor at New London will be com pleted by Jan. 1, 1917. It consists of a channel 500 feet wide, SS feet deep and about 1-2 miles lone from Long Isl- and sound to the natural deep water in the upper channel; a channel 400 feet or more in width, 23 feet deep and about 5000 feet long skirting the waterfront of the city; and for dredg- ing shaws cove to depth of 15 feet The river and harbor act of last July adopted the project for an entrance channel in accordance with conditions named in house document No. SIS, that after the secretary of war had satis- factory assurance that the state of Connecticut would carry out it's prof. ect of terminal development the gov ernment would dredge an entrance channel. The project was begun in October and the funds will be ex- hausted during the present fiscal year. An appropriation of $160,060 is asked for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918.
 Contract dredging to restore the 2a- channel at Allyn's Point in the Thames river has been going on throughout the year. The work done in this river has reduced the cost of transportation by increasing the available draft from 8 to 16 and 22 feet. The river com merce of the present day could not be carried on except for the increased draft thus obtained. It is proposed to use the available funds in dredging the channel between Allyn's Point and the city of Norwich, where shoaling has taken nlace
