So Writes Bertha Blodget,
Known by Many Grand

NJ, w Spaulding, clerk of the dis:
trict court. today received a letter
from his niece, Bertha Blodget. a

perate fuel situation which prevails
throughout the New England states.
and which is felt very acutely in
Worcester.
Fifteen hundred tons of coal de-
posted in the bins of the Worcester
schools will, Miss Blodget writes. be
distributed wherever it is most urg-
entity. needed throughout thu city.
The schools have been closed indef-
nitely and teachers are having an
enjoyed vacation which they do not
enjoy too keenly.
Other measures. indicating the seri-
BUSINESS Of the situation, have been
taken. according to the letter which
Miss Blodget- has sent here. All of
the Worcester stores, for example,
have agreed to keep closed all day
on each Monday until further notice.
In this manner it is hoped that a
great saving of fuel will be saved.
Library hours also have been
shortened and throughout there are
indications that Worcester is facing
the, most trying season in it's history.
Conditions in other large New Eng
land manufacturing centers are said
to be similar and prospects of early
improvement have not appeared.
