MAURICE MIOUR
MARRIED MONDAY
The Bride Was Miss Rose
BONN
Nuptisl Ceremony and Mass Al St.
Joseph's Church, North Cros-
venor-Daie

A wedding in which both of the
parties are well known occurred at
St. Joseph's church, North Grosyenor-
Dale, Monday morning at 9 o'clock,
when Maurice Miour, son Of Mrs.
John B. Miour, Woodstock avenue.
and Miss Rose A. Bonin. daughter Of
Mrs. Benjamin Bonin, North Gros-
venor-Dale, were united in marriage
by Rev. FIR. Quinn, who was also the
celebrant Of the nuptial high mass.
There was a large gathering of
friends and relatives Of the couple
from Putnam, North Dale,
and other places The bride was at
tended by her brother, Fred BONN Of
North Grosvnor-Dale, and the bride
groom by Alfred Bonneville, city tax
collector of Putnam.
The bride was becomingly gowned
in a blue silk hand embroidered jersey
dress with large black hat, and carried
a large bouquet Of white roses.
Following the ceremony Mr.. and
Mrs. Miour left on the afternoon train
for Boston, and will 90 from there to
Washington, D. C., Richmond, Va,
and as far south as Savannah, Ga.
Upon their return they viii reside in
a newly furnished home on Woodstock
avenue. Many pretty and useful pres
ents were displayed at the reception
following the mass at the BONN home.
Mr.. Miour is one Of Putnam's young
business men and is connected with
the Church Clothing Company. He is
a member Of the Knights of Column
bus, Putnam Lodge of Elks, Foresters

buildings, sidewalks, tunnels, sub
ways, river piers, sewer lines, curbing
and reservoirs are of concrete, which
is composed largely Of trap-rock.
Again, trap-rock for ballasting steam
and electric railways is in ever in
creasing demand.
This demand is overwhelming in
ratio to the supply, as, although the
demand for trap-rock has increased
over 500 per cent in the last ten
years, the facilities for, and the supply,
has increased only about 400 per cent
in the same space of time.
The quality of the rock, also, has to
be considered, there being large guam
titles of the seamy, grained or slaty
variety which is of inferior grade and
undesirable, while the dark-blue,
granite variety containing a certain
amount of cement makes very de-
sirable trap-rock, which packs down
to very firm body, with great re-
sistance and great lasting-power.
A large trap-rock concern, 1t is I'M
derstood, which has been operating IN
the Palisades of the Hudson, which
has supplied enormous amounts OF
rock to the demand, has had to cease
operations per order of the New York
mark commission, they not wishing the
natural beauty of the Palisades being
further defaced The stopping of
production at this quarry results in
another curtailment in the trap-rock
supply, especially being felt in New
York as we'll as other neraby cities.
So the universal question arises ::
From where will the trap-rock come,
to supply this ever-increasing de-
mand?" to be answered by who
knows?"

COUNTY PASSES
ITS FULL QUOTA
Every Church Over Subscribes
For Pilgrim Memorial
Fund
Total Amount Pledged to Date Is
81, 5000

The canvass Of Windham county
for its quota Of the Pilgrim Memorial
Fund is now completed. Large or
smaller amounts from unexpected
sources may still be received but act
i've work mas been finished. Wind
ham copnty's quota was s23,425. The
total received from the county up 70
date is S27, 5000. making an excess
over the quota Of s4435.30. With no
important exceptions every church in
the county exceeded its quota. Will
mantle, which has $4,000, the largest
quota in the county, has now gone al
most a thousand dollars over its ex-
pected amount Danielson, where the
quota was $1,000, went 81 per cent
over. Both churches in Putnam far
exceeded the amount asked Of them.
, One Of the most notable examples
from the smaller churches Of the
county was Pomfret, where $3.50 was
asked for and 1920 was raised. The
church in South Killingly with resi-
dent membership Of only seven, went
s55 over its quota Of 800.
Many of the smallest churches
showed unexpected results. One Of
the most remarkable Of these was
Westford, which has only eight resi-
dent membe Only one service had
been held in the church since last No
vernber and that was funeral. A
special service was held for the pur-
pose Of presenting the fund, and IL
persons were present To this church
was allotted quota Of $50. They
pledged S116. A school teacher re-
ceiying s14 week said she wished to
give as much for her pastors pension
as she was setting aside for her own.
She subscribed $40 a year for FIVE
years.
Director Beard and all his workers
are enthusiastic over the excellent ex-
ample set by Windham county. 1t
has been followed however, by Toll
land county, which, with the canvass
now nearly completed, is also several
thousand dollars ahead of its quota.
The work is also progressing with like
encouraging results in Litchfield and
New London counties, and is being
opened up this week in Middlesex.

tas and pledges of each church in

REST ROOM FOR WOMEN
Interesting Plan Discussed at Ladies
Social Meeting

Among the many new plans which
were considered at the meeting of the
Ladies' Social Circle of the Gongrega-
tional church at its meeting on Tues
day afternoon was the opening of va
rious rooms in the church building
several hours a day as rest rooms for
women and children of Putnam and
the surrounding towns.
The meeting was presided over by
Miss Mary Wheaton, president, and
the recommendation presented by
two committees, the ehairmen of
which were Mrs. f. j. Daniels and
Mrs Ernest c. Morse, were thoroughly
discussed and unanimously accepted.
Mrs. Daniels and her committee
recommended that in the future all
ladies Of the church be urged to make
their gifts to the church through the
budget of the church rather than
through the treasury of the Ladies
Society. This means that suppers,
fairs and sales which have had for
their chief aim the making of money
shall give way to suppers and social
gatherings which shall have for their
purpose the strengthening and length
ening Of ties Of friendship and fellow
ship in the church and parish.
There will be no general solicita-
tons of food for these suppers; the
expense will be borne by the church
budget to which the ladies are re-
ouested to give at the time of the Ev-
cry Member canvass in December.
The details of the church night sup
pers, Of which there will be six next
year, will be announced later. Be
hind these recommendation lies a
double purpose ITO wit, the increase OF
church fellowship and a more digni-
fed method of supporting the work of
the church.
The committee headed by Mrs.
Morse made recommendations that
have for their purpose the beautify-
ing of the church property and an in
creased use of it by the members OF
the parish and any of the public who
may care to accept the hospitality OF
the church.
The Spalding Library room, the la
dies parlors and the choir room are
to be re-decorated and furnished il
such fashion that they shall be at
tractive and homelike upon all occa
sions. 1t is expected that upon ev
cry possible occasion these rooms vii
be used for the meetings and soeia
gatherings of the various church so
cieties.
1t was also most enthusiasticall,
recommended and endorsed that thes'
rooms be used as soon as possible TO

dren of Putnam or of surrounding
/ towns.

SIBERIAN RAILWAY
 IS LOSING MONEY
 DECLARES WRITER

VLADIVOSTOK, Jan. 2. (By MaiD The expense of operating the Trans-Siberian railway is ex- ceeding its income by the normal equivalent of about 100000 a month, says writer in local newspaper Only two trains daily now are operated between Vladi- vostok, Cheliabinsk and Ekaterin- burg and one of these is military train. The writer asserts that the road has enough equipment to give a daily service of eight trains across Siberia to the Russian cities.
 Reasons assigned for the failure to develop the road to its capacity are the destruction of the Onon bridge, military management, short age of supplies, scarcity of food for railway emlpoyees and financial diff faculties.

COMPLY WAR BRIDES
 COMING FROM ERIN

LONDON, Feb. 20.-"Nearly all the boys are picking winners"
 This was the comment an Ameri- can naval officer made today while speaking of the European brides whom American sailors and sol diers are acquiring. These blue jackets and doughboys who have married English, Scotch or Irish girls believe the home folks will be more pleased with this variety than with new relatives from Continental Europe. Several British ports, mo- tably Liverpool and Southampton, are congregating points for these brides. some of whom are delayed in sailing for America because of the shortage of accommodations.
 Several officers say that the high est average of comeliness is among the Irish brides. Few of the girls are of the high-heeled variety, the majority having efficient acquaint- ance with household duties. The girls themselves are unanimous in pronouncing Americans persistent and gallant lovers.
 Another batch of fifteen new wivss has just sailed from Liver pool. One said her husband had told her Indians could still be seen on Broadway.
