DANIELSON

Sergeant Raymond Hamilton, who
 recently arrived from overseas, return ed to New York Friday morning after
 an overnight visit with relatives and friends here. He is the first member of the old 18th company to set foot in HDanielson since the organization left
 for overseas last March. Sergeant Hamilton says that the Danielson company saw much hard active service but came through it all with very few casualties He was one of those in Jured and continues to nurse a broken arm and mangled shoulder, the re- suit of his getting p;S,ched between the l big gun of which he had command and l the tractor that was hauling it one night. Sergeant Hamilton has gone back to New York for further treat
 ment for his injuries.
 At the town hall there was a joyous Christmas festival in which the pupils of the School street graded school participated Friday afternoon. There
 was an interesting program of songs, exercises and drills, and finally a dis | tribution of gifts that made happiness i shine in the face of each eager child. A long troop train from the windows of which many eager voices called out l greetings to New England folks crawl
 ed through Danielson Friday morning 1 e nroute from Virginia to Camp Dew ems, where the men, many of them 1 from oversGas, are to be mustered out. l The majofity of the boys live in New
 England towns and cities and this part 1 of the United States looked mighty good to them. The boys were looking sr4s cheer. Their chief concern seemed to 1 be over being mustered out by Christ kmas, a hope that now seems foremost
 with every returning soldier. Some of l the boys threw off postcards and ad- 1 dresses, messages that they rightly
 guess would be sent to their folks in many parts of New England by the
 good people who picked them up. | Unless the present order changes within the next few days, the Decem- l Der record of the town court will be exceptionally clean. There have been 1 very few arrests during the past three weeks, a fact that is very pleasing to l all who are interested in having Dan
 ielson make a good record.
 l Receptac!es into which contributions | toward buying Christmas dinners for the needy of Danielson may be drop | ped have been placed in stores in Danielson. Rev. W. B. Williams of the l Congregational, church is the head of 1 the committee that is making the ar
 engagements for the distribution of l supplies.
 l panclson physicians have announced ! for their services a new and advanced schedule of charges, effective the first of the year.
