HIGH HEEL CAUSES
BROKEN SHOULDER
Marie Chapdelaine Falls Full
Length of Factory Stair
Delicate Operation Is Performed AT
Day kimball Hospital-Pstient
Doing Well

A high heel catching in a stair at
the French River Textile Company
last Friday evening caused Marie
Chapdelaine, young girl who came
to work for the company about three
months ago, to fall the whole length
OF a high fight of stairs, so seriously
iniuring her right shoulder that she
was operated upon at the Day kimball
hospital on Thursday by DR.. 5. b.
Oversee. Of Pomfret and DIR. Paul
SWEET. the orthopedie specialist of
Hartford.
The operation was of very serious
and delicate nature, but it is believed
to have been completely successful
Miss Chapdelaine, whose home is
in Canada, was coming quickly down
the stairs in the mill, when the high
heel of her shoe caught in the top
step. She plunged forward, falling
the entire length of the stairway, the
full weight of her body hitting on her
shoulder. She was removed to the
hospital where it was found that she
had suffered a very delicate fracture.
Following the X-ray of the shoulder,
DR.. Overlook decided to call in Dr'
SWEET in consultation. DR.. SWEET at
ter an inspection of the shoulder de-
cided to operate at once. The opera.
ton was described at the hospital as
very intricate and delicate and one OF
the most interesting that has been
performed there in some weeks.
Miss Chapdelaine is resting very
comfortably today, and while the out
come of the operation cannot be de-
termined for several days, 1t Is be-
lieved to have been entirely success
full.

Foreman Dumas again differed
with the alderman, saying that il WIS
the rule that when man was elected

three months TO drop him. He said
that all members were notified of their
election and further stated that there
were 10 members who had been in
the company four years and some who
had been members 20 years.
This discussion came about through
the councils request, made at the last

were submitted by the chief and they
showed that the companies were car

Alderman johnson stated that the

never answered an alarm and who
had no intention of doing so.
Mayor Marcy suggested that there
was an ordinance relative to submit

able to get record for a year.

Frederick Dumas, the foreman of
the company. was in the council
chamber. He told the council that
the book was locked in drawer at
the company's headquarters. He said
that it was the seeretary's business to
furnish the record.
Alderman Dean asked the foreman
il he did not think the secretary was
lax in his duty in not obeying the
chiefs order and the foreman said
ut would seem So"
A member of the council said that
IL the secretary wouldn't perform his
duty it might be good idea to LET
him go.
Alderman Lapalme asked II each
company had right to make its own
rules and bylaws. He said that Hose
Company No had n rule that When

NEXT TUESDAY ANNIVERSARY
OF END OF GREAT WORLD WAR
Armistice Day Is Not Legal Holiday in Con-
necticut- Be Quietly Observed by
Anselm Mayotte Post, Am. Legion

Next Tuesday is Armistice Day, the
first anniversary of the ending of the
great World War Governor Marcus
III. Holcomb has not seen fit to de
clare November 18th a holiday IN
Connecticut, and whatever observ-
anee is arranged in this state will be
by individual municipalities. In Put
nam the only plans now under way
are those being made by the Anselm
Mayotte Post, American Legion. Their
plans include a social and dance to be
held in the evening.
The anniversary of the signing OF
the armistice brings to mind what was
happening and did happen year ago.
Putnam, with other cities in the land,
had its first celebration Thursday, No
vember 7th, when the false report was
sent out that the arinistice had been
signed.
The real celebration of the signing
of the armistiee began at O'Clock on
Monday morning, November 18th,
1918. The first harbinger of the great
news was a railroad locomotive in the
railroad yard whose engineer pulled
down on the whistle cord and held 1t
down until the steam was almost eX-
hausted. His solo became duet, then
a trio, then a quartet and soon every
locomotive in the roundhouse and
ward was adding its shrek to the glad
chorus. Citizens were awakened
from their slumbers but before eyes
were hardly opened the brain became
active and readily grasped the signi-
ficance of the early morning din. 1t
all meant that the Germans had sign
ed the armistice and the war was
over. Mothers fell upon their knees
by the bedside and gave thanks to the
Almighty that soon their sons would
be home again.
People left their warm beds and
hurried down town. Soon the business
section was alive with people. At six
o'clock the factory whistles and bells
took up the chorus. Further sleep
was impossible, but then, none want
ed TO sleep, and none could sleep for
very JOY. There was no thought OF
work. Employers of labor saw i'm
mediately that the factory wheels
eould not be made to turn that day. A
general holiday was at once declared.
The people took up the noise-making,
individually and collectively. Any
thing that would make a noise was
brought forth to add to the rising din.
And the noise grew until it was furl-
Gus.
During the morning there was pa
rade of the school children. The line
was led by a band. There were patrl-
otic songs, addresses and cheers. Ar
ranpements were hastily made by the
Putnam War Bureau for parade IN
the evening and this feature was car
ried out successfully Putnam lived
up to its reputation of doing war work
well and it likewise ushered in its
peace work in the same enthusiastic
manner.
There were thoughts for the boys
over there. Now that they are home
once more just what they were doing
while those at home were celebrating
may be of interest. The Patriot has
interviewed some of the returned sol
diers and received the following in
Putnam patriot., 1919-11-07

formation as to how, when and where
they learned of the signing. of the ar
mistice and what Immediately follow
ed.
DR.. f. F. PERRY, LIST Lieutenant.
Medical Corps, local head of the
American Legion, attached to the For
estry Section of the Twentieth En-
gineers, was at Mimizon-les-Bains
when the church bells of the old town
rang out the news of the armistiee. At
that time there were four companies
of the Twentieth Engineers at Mimi
zon engaged in Forestry work. At the
American camp there was a band
from the regimental headquarters and
when the bells told the news. all.work
ceased and the Americans Joined with
the French in celebration of parad-
ing and dancing which continued far
into the night.
HERBERT NELSON of Woodstock,
serving as first class private with
the medical department attached to
the Twenty Sixth Division, was at
the Bots de Caures, just about four
teen miles north of Yerdun, on the
18th of November. At a o'clock on
the morning of the day of the sigma
ture, the company, which had seen
some of the most severe fighting
which it had faced, received re
place of eighty new men, just ar
rived from the States. Nineteen of
these men were lost in action before
daybreak. Mr.. Nelson says that his
entire outfit was suffering from IA
tigue, following hikes and almost con-
tinuous action amidst lombard
ment whose fury was unparalleled IN
the history of the war. Little was
heard of the armistice until the morn
ing of the day that the firing ceased.
Then the news came from Germans
encountered in the advance into No
Mans Land who begged the. Ameri-
cans to stop fighting and not to make
prisoners as fighting was to cease
within a few hours and if they--the
Germans-were not captured they
could return to their homes instead OF
going for months to some distant pris-
on camp. just before IL o'clock the
word was passed around to stop fir
ing on the hour. The artillery bonn
bardment, however, continued on
both sides until the very minute of
the hour. Then there was silence
that was appalling to the men who
had heard nothing but the steady roar
of the guns for weeks. Mr.. Nelson
saws that there was no rejoicing from
any of the men in his outfit, who,
when the firing ceased, promptly
rolled themselves in their blankets and
took a very much needed rest.
FRANCIS DAGNON of Dayville
was amnog the Windham county men
who took part in this same action.
LIEUT.. RUSSELL PERKINS of
Pomfret was at Bourges, engaged in
liaison work with the French Army.
Bourges, like New York City, had the
benefit of a double armistice celebra-
ton, there having been false report
circulated two days before the real
news arrived, which brought the frst
hilarious celebrations from the French
who. on both occasions, Joined with
