A gift of $1,000 from his parishion-
ers was one of the pleasant incidents
of Rev. Charles z. Bedard'S silver jub-
lice observance. With the parish now
free from debt, a constructive pro-
gram for the future may be worked
out. One of the most important, and
probably among the first of the plans
to be taken up will be the remodeling
of st. Mary's parochial school. The
present school is not adequate in its
accommodations or arrangements to
meet the constantly growing needs OF
the parish.
Superintendent William Macdonald
of Putnams schools is now. stationed
at Cape May, n. j.. he writes friend

| AdeIard Bonneville, who apears to
be incorrigible, was again taken into
! custody Wednesday afternoon after
| having done a number of things to
| violate his parole from the state school
/ for boys. City officials who have long
| been familiar with his case and who
! have given him every opportunity to
change his mode and manner of life
gave up in despair on Wednesday
/ when they learned that this boy of II
years had again become involved in
difficulties. 1t will be back to the stat .
| school for Adelard this morning.! His
| newest infractions include absenting
! himself from school and writing there
| after excuses in his mothers name:
| selling his mrother's watch for As
cents; stealing 50 for a woman who
trusted him to do errands, etc, etc.
/ Albert Smith, who died at his home
on the Abingdon road early Wednes-
/ day was one of the best known of
Pomfret's citizens and life long res.
! ldent in that section. He was a for
mer selectman of Pomfret and had
represented that town in the general
assembly of the state. The fact that
Mr.. Smith was a democrat did not OBJ
| crate him from sharing in the highest
political honors that his town could
confer upon him, though the majority
vote of Pomfret is very generally re
| publican. Mr.. Smith was engaged for
! many years sa farmer. He had been
in poor health since last fall. MIR.
| Smith leaves his wife and one daugI1-
| ter, Mrs. Marion Smith Watson, of
| Pomfret

| tives. Burial was in St. Mary's GEM

| friends the engagement was an-
nounced at the home of Mr. and Mrs

cester during the summer, the man
| agement of the theaters here to be Iii
| the hands of their son, Hyde Smith,
who recently was discharged from ar

For those who think, there were
visions of hundreds of thousands of
kindly acts done on the western front
when Salvation Army lassies began
! the sale OF doughnuts, made after the
| over there" recipe, in the streets of
Putnam Wednesday. The Salvation
Army is doing this work as part of
| forwarding the loacl end of the cam
paign to raise a big fund, throughout
the country. for the work the orgai1i-
cation is accomplishing.
The doughnuts, which are being
made at headquarters in the old post
office quarters in the Union block, sold
splendidly Wednesday. some of them
bringing quarter and more apiece
and they We're we'll worth it, consider
ing the cause.
Putnam chapter of the Red Cross
and Putnam lodge of Elks are inter-
ested here in making the army drive 4
big success and thereby backing W
the doughboys' verdict that there was
not any service just like the Salvation
Armys for the. boys while they were
fighting over there"
Thomas Harper, Of Providence, who
is nearing his goth birthday, came
here to attend the funeral Wednesday
