TRADE SCHOOL BOYS TO
 BUILD ANOTHER HOUSE
BOYS ENROLLING NOW GET VALUABLE PRACTICAL
 EXPERIENCE
Two Story Bunga allow For Mrs. Letters Grand View

As the State of Connecticut is foremost in trade education and has a reputation throughout the country for it's progressive policy in it's es- tablishment of trade schools, it is nee essary that each school live up to this wide-awake reputation.
 From the beginning the Putnam trade school has been recognized as one of tn most progressive education al and business enterprises in Putnam. An example of this was the Cutler house which the students in the car pentry department completed few months ago. This house is one of the most attractive cottages in Putnam, and the plans, carpentry work and electrical work are all products of the local trade school.
 To keep abreast of this wide-awake policy the trade school has just se- cured a contract to build house for Mrs. Genevieve Letters of Grand View, and ground was broken this week for the foundation. The house is to be a large two story bungalow type, to be situated just south of Mrs. Letters present residence. The To- cation affords an excellent view of the surrounding country in all direc- tions.
 The plans for the house were drawn in the drafting department of the school by Halford Letters, who is a student in the carpentry department. They will be complete in every way, showing every detail in the framing and finish
 The foundation of the house will be of concrete. The first floor will contain a large living room which ex- tends the total length of the house and located in the center of the south side there will be large fireplace. The dining room is on the north side separated from the front hall by large French doors. The kitchen will be a model of it's kind, arranged in the most efficient manner.
 A square oak stairway leads to the upper hall and four large bedrooms open into it. The bath room will be gnished in white enamel with the best of sanitary plumbing. The large pi-
 ....t1 La b,,,1% tho apfiro 1on0th of the front of the house and the sleep ing porch opens out from the second story. The entire house will be fin ished natural, most of the first floor in oak and the second floor in cypress. There will be hardwood floors throughout The outside of the house will be finished in shingles, stained.
 At the present time the govern ment and al progressive business men are advocating that all private par ties, towns and cities build as much as possible. This is necessary as the United States is four years behind in building operations. This is bound to create a great demand for carpen- ters. The carpentry department of the Putnam trade school offers the boys of Putnam and surrounding towns an excellent opportunity to learn the carpenters trade in the most practical manner-that of house building. A boy may enter at any time and all courses are free. The school has no difficulty in finding ex- cellent positions for all it's graduates at remunerative wages.

MEMORIAL DAY
 DISCREPANCIES

The Memorial Day observance this year will probably be along the same lines as in former years-the forma- ton of a procession in the morning and a march to St. Mary's cemetery and a return for dinner served by the ladies. In the afternoon a march to Grove street cemetery. The graves of veterans in both cemeteries will be visited as usual, with addresses. Out lying cemeteries will also be taken care of. While the plans have not been made as yet, in all probability there will not be any great departure from the exercises of former years. Address at Grove street cemetery will be by Rev s. J. A. Rock.
 The Memorial Sunday service has been planned. This will be at the Baptist church, Sunday, May 25th, at 103O a. m. The following organiza- lions are expected to attend: G. A.. R. W. R. c. Ladies of the G. A. R., Sons of Veterans, D. A. R., Spanish War Veterans, World War Veterans and Boy Scouts.
 A special invitation is extended ot returned soldiers of Putnam and sur rounding towns to attend the service, Protastants and Catholics alike will be most welcome.
 The pastor of the church, Rev. C.. c. s. MacKay, will preach the ser mon. His subject will be: "A New Nay,aria1 Dayp

PUTNAM MEAT MEN SAY THAT POOR MEAT IS SOLD IN
 THIS CITY, BUT NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN
eslature Turned Down Bill Providing For State Inspe

+ edith officials of Webster are up in arms over what they term "a flood of meat passed by the inspectors of the bordering towns in Connecticut and sold to the consumers of Web ster"
 There is no state meat inspector in Connecticut and no law applying di- rectIy to meat, although under the pure food law there seems to be pow CT given local health officers to see that all kinds of impure food is kept from finding it's way to the table of the consumer.
 For some time past reliable meat men in Putnam have alleged that cat tie too old to be of further use, cattle diseased and even bob veal have been slaughtered and sold in this city. No united action on the part of the mar ket men has been taken, nor has the board of health taken any steps to in vestigate local meat conditions so far as known. If the accusations on the part of local meat men are true eer- tainIy it is time that health officials make proper investigation. Massa- chusetts has strict laws regarding the sale of meat, and it is no wonder that Webster officials object to receiving meat from Connecticut if, as they al lege, the inspection is not adequate, and as they state, lis only farce. y
 According to the statement issuing from Webster much of the meat that is objected to comes from Woodstock, where. they say, cattle and swine are slaughtered for Massachusetts owners and sold to consumers in Webster, Dudley and Southbrsdge.
 In an article written by Webster correspondent of the Worcester Telegram is set forth in part the fol lowing:
 "Connecticut has no laws relative to the inspection of meats and car casses, but inspectors are appointed in the border towns, so that the stamp
 
 can be imprinted on the carcasses of the butchered cattle and swine, to pass the requirements of the strict laws in Massachusetts.
 "Dr George L. Drury, Boston, vet erinarian of the Massachusetts state board of health; Chairman Dr. Joseph N. Roy and Secretary Leon J. Kreft of the Webster board of health, were in conference over the situation, and immediate steps will be taken to bring the matter to the attention of Representative L. A. Breault, Au- burn, and Senator Francis k. Pres colt, Grafton.
 "Dr. Drury and Mir. Kreft invaded East Woodstock, North Woodstock, South Woodstock, West Woodstock and Woodstock Hill Tuesday, and in- vestigated conditions at slaughter houses.
 ''The slaughter house, licensed by the town of Woodstock, maintained by Byron E. Eddy, is located in the east section of the township. MT.
Putnam patriot., 1919-05-23

Eddy buys and kills cattle, then stamps the carcasses and later sells the cattle at wholesale and retail to storekeepers and consumers. Many of the cattle and swine of MT. Eddy are sold to the Swift Company at Webster, according to Mr Eddy. 9th CT cattle and swine are sold to store keepers of Webster, Quinebaug and Southbridge.
 ''Mr. Eddy maintains a store for the sale of meats and groceries at East Woodstock. Other inspectors are said to be: Irving Paine, William Childs, H. L. Tracy, Peter Murphy, John s. May and William Smith.
 During the inspection of the Eddy slaughter house, Dr. Drury took an impression of the stamp used. The stamp is a common two-line stamp, in- scribed Town of Woodstock, Conn. Inspected and Passed While pr. Drury and Mir Kreft were present Mir. Eddy stamped two earcasses to demonstrate the style of type and to show the inscription as it appears.
 "I have the only licensed slaugh- ter house in Woodstock said MT. Ed dy. There are several inspectors in the town, including Irving Paine, John May, William Childs, William Smith, Frank Foskett and myself. We put on the stamp, just to faeili- tate matters, as I understand that un- less the meat is stamped when placed on sale in Massachusetts, it is liable to be seized by authorities.
 There are some Jews from Web ster who bring cows to the slaughter house to be killed, stamped passed and inspected. Then the cattle are taken to Webster or Southbridge to be sold. 1 sell a good deal of the slaughtered cattle myself in those two towns, but mostly in Webster. Half of what you see here now will be sold in Webster and the other half Tn Quinebaug.'
 "The Eddy slaughter house is of ten used by others, who slaughter. The meat, however, is stamped by MT. Eddy as inspector. He said that one of the neighbors inquired about the inspection of meat, and asked him to place the stamp on some car casses, and that his reply to the in auirer was to buy stamp for him- self.
 "When Dr. Drury and Secretary Kreft stepped from the automobile, MT. Eddy inquired: Are you federal officers?' 'No,' said Mr. Drury, MT. Kreft and myself came over to look over the slaughter house, if we could MT. Eddy was willing to show the premises and allowed Dr. Drury to examine and cut up parts of the earcasses that were hung on hooks in the room off the slaughter house.
 "The health officials went to the barns and slaughter sheds of Frank

This is in line with what has been done in Fall River, the big cotton manufac- turing center.
