CANAAN RED CROSS
GOES WITH WINSTED
Local Branch Formerly Part
of Litchf1eld
Chapter

Due to the geographical condition
in Litchfeld county, and as a result
of a suggestion from the Atlantic
Division, the Executive Committee
of the North Canaan Branch, voted
to request a transfer from the
Litchfeld to the Winsted Chapter.
That the transfer has been made
will be seen by the following letter:
My dear Mrs. jackson:
In answer to your letter of July
list, wish to advise that we have to-
day authorized the transfer of your
Branch from the Litchfield to the
Winsted Chapter.
am also quoting for your infor-
nation a letter received from Miss
Kinney, Secretary, in which she
states that "the Executive Commit
tee, Winsted Chapter, A. r. C. voted
10 accept North Canaan as branch,
If they so desired, and to allow them
a representation on our Executive
Board"
Very truly yours,
Esther G. Andrews.
In this connection it will be of in
|terest to the many Red Cross work
|ers in Canaan to quote also from a
letter of Mrs. III. G. Warner, Chair
man of the Home Work Committee,
|Litchfeld Chapter. Mrs. Warner
writes: eve are very sorry to have to
say goodbye, Canaan has been won
.derful."

On Sunday afternoon the local
team was defeated by Norfolk in
that place to 5, in the most loosely
played game this season. Schibi of
Torrington pitched for Canaan and
put up a good fight, but errors made
by nearly every man on the team
gave Norfolk an easy victory. Five
runs were made by Canaan in the
first two innings, and the game
seemed easily won, when they sud-
denly lost their heads and conse-
quently the game, because of seem
ingly unfair decisions by the umpire.

TOWN VOTES TO ACCEPT
STATE APPROPRIATION
New Road and Bridge May
Be Built to Vacation
House

At a special town meeting held at
the town hall last Saturday after
noon, the selectmen were authorized
to accept the allotment of $4,000 a
year from the state for the purpose
of constructing new roads in this
town. In adopting the resolution as
printed last week, the towns share of
the cost of construction will be one
fourth.
The question of what particular
road should be improved was de-
bated and it was finally agreed that
the selectmen be notified that it was
the desire of the town to rebuild the
road from Lyles corner past the
vacation house to the southern boun-
Diary of the town. Selectman Smith
stated that the matter was entirely
in the hands, of the highway commits
sioner but thought he would respect
the towns wishes in the matter.
The matter of renting or leasing
the town hall to out of town parties
came up for discussion due to the
fact that local organizations which
are of direct benefit to the town had
been charged high rental for its
use. Selectmen Smith stated that
this was done in order to make the
town building self-supporting and
if he had known of any instance
where an exhorbitant price had been
asked the matter would have been
amicably settled. In order to show
that the "town fathers seek to do
what is right in this matter, copy
Of the lease is herewith printed.
Agreement between the Town Of
North Canaan, Conn. and Andrew
Fulkerson of Lime Rock, Conn.

for the purpose of holding moving

In consideration of which, the said
Andrew Fulkerson is to allow the
Town Of North Canaan to have the
use of said Hall for all town and
school purposes, heated, lighted
and cleaned in q suitable manner,
and shall furnish coal and light for
use in the Probate Office and Lookup,

citation is to have the use Of said

FARM BUREAU EXECU-
TIVE COMMITTEE
HEARS REPORTS
Will Urge Congressman tc
Vote For Hersman Bill

At the monthly meeting of the Ex-
ecutive Committee Of the New Castle
County Farm Bureau held the even
ing Of September 10, at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. c. p. Dickey, of Stan
ton, County Agent r. o. Bausman
and County Club Leader Agnes p,
Medlll, reported on the progress of
the work during the month, and pro-
ject leaders discussed projects com.
pleted and those proposed.
After calling the meeting to order
President Frank Yearsley called for
the report of the County Agent. In
commenting on the farm bureau ex-
hibit at the State Fair, Mr. Bausman
stated that the exhibit was designed
with the purpose of setting before the
farmers of the co6--y, in an attrac-
tive and emphatic manner, the most
important project which the farm bu-
reau had been pushing during the
year. He stated further that during
the month a carload of pure bred Hol-
stein cows, averaging 1400 lbs. in
weight had been purchased and dis
tributed at cost among the farmers
of the county through the co-opera-
tion of local banks. The attendance
at the annual meetings of the two
COW testing associations held in con-
junction with the district shows of the
Boys and Girls Pure Bred Cattle
Club, although not large, was crafty
ing. The addresses by DR.. H Hay
wa"d. of Delaware College, and Mr.
J. c. Mcdowell, Of the T. S. Dairy
Department. and the Boys and Girls
Heifer Shows were very interesting
features Of the two rsaetings.
Due to the splendid showing made
by the boys in the dairy cattle Judging
contest at the State Fair it was pro-
posed that a Judging team he sent to
the National Dairy Show to be held
In Chicago in October to enter the
national boys Judging contest, but
upon receipt of the rules of the con-
test it was found that boys from Del
aware were not eligible this yea. but
would be next year. A team will
doubtless be trained and sent next
year.
In reporting the meeting of the
State Bankers Association, Mr.. NJ.
o. Pence stated that the bankers Of
Delaware are behind the county farm
bureaus and that they have guaran-
teed an appropriation to aid in financ-
ing a farmers short course which will
probably be held at Delaware College
this winter.
A motion was made and carried
that the secretary be instructed to
write to the Delaware Senators and
Representatives, urging them to vote
for the Hersman Bill, which cxempts
farmers f9om criminal prosecution
under the Clayton antitrust law.
