Forty of the young men who reg lstered June 5, and some others, from various towns in the district, were in this city Tuesday to- undergo their physical examinations for military service. An unusually high percent age of the men met the tests, larger number being qualified for general military service than has been the case with any other previous group of forty called since the government began to take men under the selective service act In a measure this is ac- credited to the youthful years of tine registrants who appeared Tuesday, l nearly all of them being in their 22nd year. The examinations were con- ducted by Dr. J. B. Kent. chairman of the local board. and. Dr. T. Morris Murray, Pomfret, formerly of George town university.

OBITUARY
Mrs. Charlotte Capron

Mrs. Charlotte Capron died at her home here during Monday evening, death following close upon an injury that the aged woman received during the early hours of last Thursday morning. when sse severely hurt her hip in a fall.
 If she had lived five days longer Mrs Capron would have reached the age of 91. She was a daughter of Hezekiah L. and Laura s. Weaver Danielson and was born in Danielson, which was named for the family of which she was a descendant.
 All of her life had been spent here. She was a woman of the very finest traits of character. Mrs. Capron was the widow of Orville M. Capron, who died many years ago. She leaves two brothers. Henry NJ Danielson and Daniel Danielson, and a sister, Mrs. Lucy Hutchins. all of Danielson.
 Failed to Fill Out Questionnares.
 For having failed to fill out ques- tionnaires, Chief Michael Grimshaw of the local police took into custody two aliens who are employed in man. ufacturing plants in the town. Cir cumstance surrounding the cases made it clear that failure to comply with the regulations was due to not having Q proper knowledge of them.
 Road Project Delayed. The campaign that was to have been instituted in an effort to get the state highway department to improve the highway between Brooklyn and l Hampton, on the shortest route be- tween Hartford and Providence seems to have died a-borning. This is chief iy due to the fact thot war activities ake so much of the spare time of the men who do things for the public good in every community. The sub iect is not to be lost sight of. however and pressure will continue to be 'ex- erted until this route. an old stage coach route and used by travellers for more than century. has a connecting link built that will be a benefit to the citizens in the eastern part of the state.
