PATRIOTIC CELEBRATIONS IN
 THOMP SON.
Communicated )

OOHIiuHiCdleu3
 On reading a paragraph in the Thompson items in last weeks issue of The Patriot, one IS given the im- pression that certain worthy gentle men are still unreconciled to the fact that the church bells were rung in Thompson one evening recently, as part of celebration of the thrilling and encouraging news from France. When we who must stay at home read of the wonderful strides toward vic. tory that our boys at the front are making day by day, 1t is surely right and natural that the pride and gratl- tude that fills our hearts should seek outward expression. even if we know no better way than the primitive ones of the ringing of bells, the waving ot flags. and the producing of noise Tn every conceivable way. To be sure there is the chance, as has been point ed out to us, of people suddenl y wax ened from their sleep, n1istaking the changing bells for an alarm of fire, but delight on realizing 1t was only good news will more than make up for the previous fright.
 So I say, may we continue to hear good news and may we have many more nights of joyful, if noisy cele- bration

COMMUNICATION

Thompson, Conn.,, Aug. ', 1918. To the Editor of The Patriot:
 Sir-1n a recent issue of the paper it is said the bells are rung for fires. They have been so rung, as well as for funerals, outside of their use to call people to church and to, at nine o'clock, signalize Sunday. The New England mind has that tenden- cy Bells are universally used for joy, also, and spontaneously, with no eavil at the stated festival, garlands and speeches. A very different thing from being happy, warmed over, with the mutton at noon tomorrow.
 It should be possible, even with on- ly one bell, to ring it in threes or punctuate it with shots, that it might speak more clearly We thought when we had the shots, one girl with tin lids as good as any cymbals, and an other better than a Roman shield, and many women in light dresses, to steer clear of either alarum or charivari, If any motor into whose light l dane ed needed to be intercepted further, it is evident it was useless to try to show them We are not so quiet here when there is a fire as to take an ap- parent tambourine and emulate Greek friezes to celebrate it. In these glo- rious days l hope everyone will learn to look for cause when we may all dance and shout again with an en- thusiasm of which we are not afraid, and great enough to attain dignity.
 As a practical fire alarm, if all tele- phones would call two long on every line, only needing where to be asked, it would be a blessing; with our party lines
 Very respectfully submitted,
 Frances Dorothy Beebe.
