 Helping to Win the War.
 The following from a Hartford pa per is relative to a former well known resident of Danielson:
 Mrs. Edward w. E. Hayward, vice chairman of the Connecticut Division, Woman's Committee, Council of Ma man of the Housewives League, is one of the many women throughout the state, who are helping the United States to win the war. Her endeav- CTS are confined chiefly to marshall ing the forces of the housewives of the state, getting them to save in their own homes, to learn new methods of cooking and preserving, and so on, by means of which the expenses of the individual households for food will be cut down.
 The theory that is worked on is that if the household learns to economize, then the nation will economize, but that thrift, economy, and the saving of waste, like charity, must begin at home Mrs Hayward is typical of all that she, stands for. She comes of a fighting stock, essentially American.
 Her French Huguenot ancestor, Pe- ter Shumway came to Massa chusetts in 1875, many of his descendants fighting in the Indian and Revolution ary wars. Mrs. Hayward's younger son, E. Payson Hayward, has follow ed in the footsteps of his ancestors receiving a commission recently as second lieutenant at Plattsburg. He is a graduate of Wesleyan Univer- sity.

No court defender for Windham county Eas yet been appointed, State Attorney Charles E.

 This year the criminal term of the WiTdham county superior court does not begin until October.
 In the past it has been the custom for the judge to assign counsel for prisoners held to answer to criminal charges and who have been. without funds to meet the cost of employing an attorney. -
 This practice, under the provisions of the new law, will be done away with and the court defender will act for them.
