STAMFORD

When the people of Stratford have cause to call the police captain it is advisable and right that they call Stratford and not Bridgeport, as in a great many cases the party or parties wanted have a chance to make their escape. It has happened quite a few times and causes unnecessary waste of time and criticism of the local po- lice department.
 Edward Luce, who for the past four months has been working on a farm in Milton, N. H. (doing his bit), has re- turned to his home on Nichols avenue. Eddie enjoyed the work very much and in fact would liked to have stayed till next spring, but owing to his studies at the local High School and not wanting to go back in his studies was deemed necessary his returning home.
 Mrs. D. c. Wood and her grandson, George Stacey, left yesterday for a1 extended trip to Asbury Park, N. J.
 Miss Catherine Carpenter, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. E. c. Carpenter who has been teaching in the public schools of New Britain, is to have charge of one of the grades in the schools of this town, beginning next month.
