tered the hall and at o'clock John
Ferns, veteran prompter, called for
the formation of the grand march.
The march was led by the president
of the order, Theodore Boulay, and
his daughter, Miss Estelle. J. J. Nc
Garry, secretary, with Mrs. McGarry,
were the second couple in line. The
ladies carried large bouquets of car
nations and ferns.
Following the march the "eircle"
was danced and then the opening
waltz. There were seven numbers
and extras before intermission at IL
o'clock. After the return to the hall
there were seven more dances and
extras. 1t was an early hour in the
morning before the last dance was
ended.
1t was estimated that there were
about 400 people in the hall Many
tickets were sold, but on account of
the threatening weather some people
did not go and people from out of
town did not chance bad night to
motor in. But those that were there
had one good time The crowd was
just comfortably large for dancing,
and the orchestra's late popular hits
played with the pep" that its name
signifies, left nothing to be desired in
this quarter and one could not help
but keeping time to the rythm of the
music. The orchestra was under the
direction of Merle Fish.
The committee that made the fourth
annual ball the big success that it was
was composed of the following:
Committee of arrangements-Th eo-
dore Boulay, NJ. H. Fish, Joseph Lar
row, Adore Guertin, A Bernier.
Floor director-William Gelinas.
Aids-Arthur Vanose, Eugene Tet-
! reault, Henry Tetreault, Wilfred Fav-
reau.

he went into business with the Hart
ford Insurance
| Company. Mr. Fuller came to Put
nam over fifty years ago and has
grown up with it, but he has been
one of the larger factors that helped
its growth, expansion and progress.
His insurance agency is the Oldest III
| the city and one of the best known
agencies in eastern Connecticut. Mr..
Fuller himself is too well known to
need any biography here. The arti-
Gle concerning his appointment fifty
years ago end his cont nuous service
is as follows.
In February, 1868, young lad,
| named Iucius H. Fuller, said good
bye to relatives and boyhood friends
! in his home town and went to Put
nam, Connecticut, to establish himself
! in business The town of his choice
then had but $500 people, but now it
is a thriving little city of 5000 That
same lad was destined to become the
ninth man to receive a gold medal
| concentrating his connection with
the Hartford Fire Insurance Company
as local agent for fifty years.
Delving into the archives of the
town and city of Putnam for the half
century. one will find the name of
Lucius H. Fuller clearly imprinted up
on the wheel of progress each time 1t
has turned forward, and the force of
his influence and character will be
found back of every public movement
that meant a better town or more
progressive city.
Almost from the beginning of his
career he has been in the public eye.
Chosen first for minor offices he was
next selected to represent the town
in the House and then the Senate of
the General Assembly. He has repre-
sented his district at a national con-
vention and bis voice has always been
heard where a word for Putnam was
in the interest of Putnam, especially
when questions of municipal improve
ments were considered
While the company's records of the
beginning of the Putnam agency are
a little hazed by time, we find that on
February IA, 1868, Mr.. Fuller COM
menced doing business in Putnam for
the Hartford" as well as for some
other companies. He was located in
the town and had full charge of the
insurance business, but for some
months, just how many we cannot
tell, the agency was in the name of
the father, L. S. Fuller, who repre-
sented the Hartford" both in Toll
land and in Putnam, but the manage
ment of the Putnam Office rested en-
tirely upon the young mans should

PUTNAM AERIE'S
ANNUAL BALL
Eagles Entertain Four Hun
dred Although Night Is
Stormy
Beautiful Decorations, Good Music,
Pretty Costumes

The fourth annual concert and ball
of Putnam Acre of Eagles was held
in Eagles hall, Union block, Friday
evening. 1t was on the most elabor-
ate scale the order has yet attempted
and it was certainly well planned
and well executed.
The decorations were unusually at
tractive and are hard to describe SC
one may get a correct idea of the
scheme used Hardly foot of bare
side walls was observable so profuse
was the use of flags and bunting
At the rear of the stage was g
large American flag and at either side
groups of five smaller flags gracefully
arranged added to the patriotic
scheme The front of the stage wa:
covered with a red material topped
with an edging of white and bearing
many gold stars. Over the stage
were the letters, Of o. E." in red
white and blue lights, more flags, anC
a banner containing an eagle, the EN-
blem of the order.
The side walls were completely
covered with gracefully drape,
American flags, red, white and blue
bunting, flags of the allied nations
and bright color scheme resulted
From a group of five flags in the cen
ter of the ceiling, red, white and blue
streamers ran out to the sides anC
around the whole was red, white
and blue string of crepe paper from
which dangled large red hearts anC
here and there life sized cupids. This
gave the Valentine Day atmosphere
Without exaggeration the hall never
looked better than for the Eagles
ball.
In the northwest corner boott
decorated in purple and white wa;
erected. From this fruit punch was
dispensed.
The music was by Pops Jazz band
of ten pieces. The orchestra gave q

not of age. He MIR. Fuller after fifty
was in no hur- years life in Putnam
ry to lose the
benefit of. the association of his IA
theirs name, but some time after that
new commission was issued to
Lueius H. Fuller.
We note almost a tone of regret at
the changed conditions of business
expressed in recent letter from our
Putnam Gold Medal agent. Speak
ing of the agency he says;
1.-The insurance business in those
DAYS was far less matter of detail
than today, there being no daily re-
ports and the first knowledge that the
company had of the business of the
previous month was when they receiv-
ed the monthly report. In renewing
policy some of the companies en-
ployed a renewal receipt which, of
course, obviated great deal of the
work which is now required.
"These methods by contrast with
the present ones naturally seem, to an
old agent, very strange indeed, but
the transition has been so gradual
that the changes were not especially
noticeable.
sMy connection with the Hartford
has always been very pleasant, and
while the officers of the company have
changed many times, have pursued
the even tenor of my way and COW
cred period that is allotted to the
life of few agents. 1t is my sincere
wish that existing pleasant relations
may be maintained for many years to
come and that the old Hartford will
continue to enjoy the fun measure of
that wonderful prosperity which has
been its record for the last half CEN
fury"
The gold medal awarded to Mr..
Fuller is identical with the exception
of the engraving) with that given to
the small group of agents who have
been connected with this institution
for fifty years of active work as local
agents The list follows:
J. F. Deatrick, appointed 1860 at
Defiance, Ohio.
E.P. Chancellor, appointed 1862 at
Parkersburg, West Virginia.
Robert X. Dewey, appointed 1858
at Greenville, Illinois.
James H. Moore, appointed 1864 at
Chicago, Illinois.
James G. Lowrey, appointed 1863
at Pottsville, Pennsylvania.

STATE FLAG PRESENTED

The Valentine social held in the
chanel of the Congregational church
Friday evening was great success
and made up in every possible for the
postponement of the Christmas fes-
tivities. During the evening there
was the presentation of large Con-
necticut State flag, given to the
church and Sunday school by the
gerosity of few friends. The pres
entation was made by John G. john
son and it was received and respond
ed to by E. NJ. Warner. The audi
ence then sang the "Star Spangled
Banner"
After this there was the distribut-
ing Of gifts and refreshments con-
sisting Of ice cream mad cake were
served. A collection was taken for
the Armenian and Syrian Relief fund
and twenty-five dollars was realized.
The collection was taken by four lit
tie girls, two of them daughters OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Varbedian,
who were dressed in native costume.
Another thing of interest was the dis
play of a large silk Armenian flag
made by Mrs Alexander Varbedian.
