NAY SHIFT HIGH TENSION WIRES
Possibility of Bringing Transmission Line From Eastern Power
 Company Up West Side of Thames River to Kitemaug-
 May Cross River at This Point = Kitemaug Property Purchased.

The land which has been purchased by the power company includes "a acres of land on which the present Camp Dewey is situated.
 Representatives of the company were in Putnam recently and obtain : ed rights of way over land in Killing ly avenue section of the city. Specula : ton was rife at the time as to just what was in progress, and it was though by some that an additional trolley line was to be built. It soon developed that the company was plan : ming te run 8 high tension service be- tween Norwich and the Massachusetts state line with which to furnish cleo trie power to all who may wish it. Ii is felt that the project will be of i'm mense benefit in furnishing excellent and dependable power service. The line will cover the entire Quinebaue river valley, along which is dotted many manufacturing towns and vil- lages. Most of the mills run by water power, hut there are often seasons oi the year when on account of the river being low, there is a lack of sufficient water power power to turn the wheels
 It is stated that the government fs vors tie enterprise as one that will bring about a saving in coal con sumption that is not possible in devel- oping power in many separate plants All the mills are more or less en gagged in manufacturing goods for tht government to meet present wal needs. A survey of the route of tht line has already been made, and ma jority of the property owners iron whom easements were sought have gladly lent their assistance to tht furtheranee of the proposition D! meeting the company half way.
 The Eastern Connecticut cempan. will feed into the New England Powe company at the Massachusetts line The latter company whose services ex tends as far as Brattleboro, Vt. on tn north and Fall River and New Eedfor, on the east will take all the power i ] cap get.

EMPLOYERS AND WORKERS.
That They May Realize Mutual De- pendenee and Obligations Subject of Prayer by Great Catholic Body.

July among the members of the Apostleship of Prayer in the Catholic churches in Norwich, as throughout the world, is devoted to prayer daily for concord between workers and ern- pleyers. This is the general intention recommended to the League of the Sacred Heart The current league leaf1et says:
 In this intention our holy father, Pope Benedict KY. brings forward a question that the church has much at heart, the solution of existing diff culties between employers and work ers..
 The interests of the employer and the worker are identical, and. if they do not work in harmony, both must suffer. ATarice on the part of em- ployers and dishonesty and unjust de- mands on the part of the workers are the most frequent causes of labor troubles.
 The solution of the labor question by perfect concord between the em- ployer and the worker can only come when each understands clearly that their mutual relations must be found ed on justice and charity. There are obligations on the part of each, and it is for q more perfect fulfilling of i these obligations that we are request ed to pray.
 The employer must realize that his workers are his brothers, because Vt are all children of God that wealth is intended by God not merely for oul
 own private pleasures, but for tht good of others. It is a sin of injustice
 not to pay a fair wage. sufficient fol
 the worker to support and educate hit family in true Christian spirit. In. fair wages, the sweatshop and unrea sonahle hours are unjust
 l The worker must understand tha
 justice and charity demand homes

WAR PROGRAM
Suggested at Session of 0anbury State Summer Seheel for Teachers,

One of the interesting meetings at the Danbury summer school for teach CTS Tuesday afternoon was about the war program which has been urged by State Secretary c. D. Hine and the supervising agents. H. O. Clough of Rockville in lecture enlightened the teachers about this work. He made the following proposals for a three hour school session: Open with a flag salute; sing patriotic songs; teach memory selections and make them in
 telligible in the reading period; read war material and reading matter that
 teaches patriotism that is worth while;
 either lesson in civics or a lesson in
 hygiene based on the events of the
 war; physical exercises; current events there should be map drills in this connection; comments of teacher about the conservation and production of food, thrift stamps and other propa- ganda.
 The purpose of this war program is to teach such points of the war that are worth while and train for intelli- gent citizenship and intelligent patri- otism.
 Schools under state supervision took hold of this matter last year with a good deal Of zeal.

The purchase or the property at Kitemaug owned by William B. Wal ker. president of the American Ther- mos Bottle company, by the Eastern Connecticut Power Company brings to light the fact that there may be a possibility of the high tension line from the company's plant at Montville running up the west side of the Thames river and crossing the river at this point rather than to cross the river directly from the company's plant.
 When asked about the proposed change in the line President R. W. Perkins stated that while nothing del- nite had been decided, but that, the matter was under consideration, as cheaper means of transmitting the power to the country north of the plant.
 If this plan is adopted it will be the means of saving a large amount Of money as it will only be necessary to erect two steel structures for the wires instead of three as is planned at the plant.
 At Kitemaug the river is narrow, not being much over two or three hun dred feet in width and there will be no need of a steel structure in the middle of the river. Towers on the Kitemaug side and the Fort Decatur sides of the river will only have to be forty or fifty feet high to give proper height to the w:"es ever the channel of the river. The land at this place on both sides of the river is high thus affording an excellent place for the erection of the towers.
 The large steel structus& which has been planned to be erected in the mid- dle of the Thames river opposite the power plant will cost in the neigh this structure the company will save a considerable amount and also save the necessity of keeping the structure in r19air.

REsTAURATEuRs MUST REMOVE
 SUGAR BOWLS FROM TABLES.
Many Keepers Have Been Restoring
 the Open Bowl.

Once more the sugar bowl must come off the hotel and restaurant din- ing room table. For several months the food administration has observed that, one after another. public eating places have gradually been restoring the open sugar bowl. which was taken off in a hurry last winter when the sugar shortage was at its height.
 Because of the foresight of the food administration, it's sugar certificate distribution system will prevent any extreme recurrence of a sugar strin- gency this summer. At the same time, however, when everybody is being practically rationed for their sugar, bottlers,s confectioners, ice cream makers, hotel and restaurant keepers. bakers and merchants, Federal Food Administrator Robert Scoville is de- termined there shall be no open invi- tation for the unnecessary spoonful of sugar in a cup of coffee To this end, the food administration made it known today that restaurants and lunch rooms that have turned in ex- ceptionally large acquisitions for sugar and still persist in allowing diners to help themselves to as much sugar as may be left in the open bowl, are run ming the risk of having their sugar allowances radically curtailed, if not cut off altogether.
