Judge William Fl. Heald has given
Judgment for the plaintiff to recover
$8 80 damages and costs taxed at
$17 "A in the case of Seth Sohofield
against Clarence R. Sadd of East
Hartford. Judge Heald reserved his
decision at the hearing held sometime
ago.
An auto fire truck is very much
needed by the local fire, department..
We are behind the times in this
respect. There are very few places of
the size of this borough without this
necessary equipment. The time that
would be gained in getting to fire
in many cases would save a serious
conflagration. If the fire of last Sum-
day night had not broken out until
late in the night, with the high wind
prevailing, it would be hard to predict
the number Of buildings that might
have been destroyed, as much valuable
time would have been lost on account
of the mem bers of the fire department
being home asleep. Now it is necessary
to wait until enough of the mem bers
arrive at the fire department head
quarters to haul the hose cart before
it can be started. With an auto truck
much time could be saved in getting
started, besides the time saved in
reaching fire. Is it not time to take
some act ion?
"Bar Haven,' a three act melo-
drama of life on the coast of Maine,
was exceptionally we'll played by local
amateurs at St. Edwards hall Friday
evening. The play was staged under
the auspices of Baker Chapter. o. E.
s under the training of Rev. @. II.
Puffer, and will be repeated in Me-
mortal hall, Stafford Hollow, this
Friday evening. While the play is
of a somewhat serious nature, there
is just enough comedy .interspersed to
dry the eyes made moist by the more
tragic passages. The cast is particu-
larly strong and we'll selected to bring
out the fine points of the drama,
which all contributed to a we'll
balanced presentation, so that con-
sidered as whole the play is generally
pronounced one of the best amateur
endeavors ever staged in town. At
least the play delighted the large
audience which filed the hall and
brought to the front some talent of
a high order that was heretofore un.
known, besides introducing again
several "known quantities, who al
ways do we'll. There will be auto.
mobile service from here to the Hollow
Friday evening.

Do the citizens of Stafford under

loing for the young men and boys
If Stafford? If not, come to the club
lome night and see for yourselves.
You will certainly be surprised that |
10 much has been made out of so little |
o do with. When this club was
tarted some few years ago it was said
t would last about two years.. But,
wing TO the president of the club,
Who gives of his time freely. it is still
success. Of course they need money
. pay running expenses. In the past
t has come from limited number.
The writer thinks there should be
nough enth husiasm to get up benefit
o help pay the running expenses, and.
nyone who wishes to keep their
memory green and have their money
working for them after they leave
his transitory' world can leave a
