Letter From France

EAST THOMPSON N-Rsymond Bixhy Boroviak, who is with the fighting forces in France. Ii reads las follows; SLe "Somewhere in Franee.n
 Nov Is, 1917. Dear Friend: Just few lines 10 let you know 1 am we'll except for B slight cold. France is s pretty good place but the only trouble is don'; know how 10 talk French. We got paid the other day tn French money. l don't understand French money very we'll hufI know enough about Il so that no one can put anything over on me.
 1 would have written sooner but did net have much time 10 myself. If 1 could talk French l would get along very well and enjoy fife over here. The people outi ihere do not understand a bit of English. When we got into a store we have to make every kind of a motion there Is to let them know what we want.
 The next time you so to the Kings Daughters supper l want you to let them know you got letter from me ad letter from france
 and give my regards 10 all the Kings Daughters. They used me very good and don't ex pect to forget them.
 We have been having very good weather here for the past few days. The town we are in is very old but since we came in we made II look like something new. When the sun comes out it stays out for nearly a week but when 1t gets cloudy we don't see the sun for a month. We almost forget what il looks like otherwise every. thing is all right. When it rains here il almost forgets to stop but we expect il as we all know we are at war and must expect things like that.
 Before we got paid the town was full of candy snd cigarettes but now you cannot buy as much as a cigarette There isn't as much as A piece of candy or cigarette that can be bought. This is some place to save money. In three days we bought out the whole town. We'll 1 guess l will have to close now hoping that these few words find you all in the best of health.

EaStfOrd Fires

town of Eastford. Tuesday, causing a considerable property loss and almost caused a loss of human life.
 The first fire was at two clock in the morning when the home of Miss Julia Chapman, 80 years old, was des- troyed Miss Chapman was found by neighbors scantily clad trying to put out the flames which caught from the chimney which had been on fire Mon day afternoon. They led the venerable lady from the house and took her to neighbors.
 When volunteers arrived the roof was ablaze and Mrs. Chapman was still ex- erting her futile efforts to save her home. There was no hope of saving the house but some of the furniture was taken to a place of safety.
 In the afternoon another fire, sup posed to have been caused by a defec- tive chimney, destroyed the house and barn of Anton Kaletchitz, who carries the mail between Eastford and Putnam. Besides the buildings 100 tons of hay and two hundred bushels of apples were destroyed causing a loss of nearly $l0,- GOO.
