The fuel situation was very serious in
Norway last week. No coal arrived up
to the lifting of the freight embargo, and
but little wood could be hauled out of
the woods or into the village owing to
the deep snow and bad roads. At one
time 1t looked as If the Carroll Jefferson
Shoe Company would have to shut down
for want Of fuel. Arthur Robbins had
about 200 cords of wood cut on the Har-
rison road for the factory but had been
unable to move any for three weeks ow-
ing to the continued snow fall; 80
Stephen o. Jefferson of the Carroll
Jefferson Shoe Company and Henry B.
Foster of the Norway Shoe Company
gathered crew of about twenty men
and shoveled into the lot, so the wood
could be delivered. The distance was
about mile and the snow about four
feet deep, with hard crust about mid
way down.
When the freight embargo was lifted
the Carroll.J ellerson Shoe Company had
more than one thousand cases of shoes
ready to ship, that bad accumulated dur
ing the time when no freight could be
shipped. They were piled in every avail
able space about the factory which had
become 80 congested as to cause an en-
barge on work, some of the departments
having to lie off for want OF room.
