 It is a toss up as to whether some of the liquor dealers now doing bus mess in the city will take out a i- cense in November, it is said. The certainty of national prohibition, ef fective next June for the period of the war. has made it seem to some of the smaller dealers that having a li- cense at $750 is not going to be very profitable investment for a pc riod of eight months, especially with the sale of beer stopped about the first of the year. Some liquor dealers here would like a ruling from the county commissioners as to getting rebate from the regular S750 license fee, on the basis of a license for eight months, which would take them up to the first of next July.
 There is this about Putnam that makes some of the liquor dealers un- willing to quit: Putnam has never been a no-icense town since the state law permitting only one license to each 500 persons was passed. There fore, under the statute, it has retained more licensed places than it would be entitled 10 should Putnam vote mo- license for one year and then go back to license. In other words, the popu- lation limit, so-called, has never ap piled here. But once a license is dropped in Putnam now it cannot be renewed. So if a dealer lets his li- cense lapse this fall he never will have a chance of being sure of renewing it, if liquor is permitted to be sold after the war
 This is the point that bothers some of the dealers, though they care little about a license for the next few months, saying it means little profit to them.

B. 5oynton, director of the State Trape Shop in Putnam, has started a campaign to interest the young men | of eastern Connecticut in learning a trade At no time in history has | such success been assured those who are skilled in the trades" says Mr. Boynton, "and the state of Connecti- cut has provided opportunities for the success of young men in founding trade schools, one of which is To- cated in Putnam"
