CHAS. POTTER, WOODSTOCK
REMEMBERS SUCH A STORM
So YEARS AGO

The storm that has tied up traffic
for the past two weeks, causing end
less loss and discomfort, had its
counterpart in 1867, according to
Charles Potter of Woodstock, who as
a boy had that event imprinted on
his young mind by terrible expert
ence. With a brother near his own
age he trudged off to school and the
storm setting in the little fellows had
to remain in the school house for two
days. An older brother who was sent
out by the mother to search for the
boys almost lost his life. Before re-
turning home he succeeded in learn
ing that the children were safe in the
school building, but as soon as he had
assured the anxious mother of this
he collapsed. Mr.. Potter, so far as
his recollection goes, thinks that the
storm of 1867 was a worse one than
this Of 1920, having more of the fea-
lures of the real blizzard, with ice ac-
compartment that makes the present
months storm about the worst since
that early period.

BOYS OF THE AMERICAN LIE
GION WANT CHAIRS

Here is a chance for the people of
Putnam or for some public spirited
citizen to help the boys of Anselm
Mayotte Post, American Legion. The
legion has secured the Hammond Hall
building for quarters and has recent
ly purchased a stove. What they need
most at present is chairs. Anyone
having chairs that they can spare, or
who are willing to procure one or
more, may notify The Patriot Office
and their offers will be taken care of.
The people have been proud Of the
boys who entered the service They
were proud of them when they
marched away, proud of what they ac-
complished, and proud when they re-
turned after work well done. They
wish to keep their organization intact
and to have a meeting place. 1t is
apparent that chairs are one of the
essentials of such headquarters and
the public will undoubtedly be willing
to help procure them. Those who
have chairs for the Legion are asked
to notify The Patriot Office

ARTHUR PEPIN
MAKES GOOD
Pays insurance Companies For
Cadillac Car Bought BY
Deiisle: Also Buick
Says That No One viii Lose From
Buying Cars of Him

Another act in the so-ealled stolen
car" cases was staged at the Putnam
Ian, Tuesday, when the owners of
two automobiles, adjusters of two In
surance companies, Arthur Pepin, and
attorneys. got together and adjusted
matters relative TO two of the auto
mobiles alleged to have been stolen
and the insurance paid by the COM
panies.s
The two caes under consideration
in which matters were satisfactorily
adjusted were Cadillac car that Leo
Delisle bought Of Mr. Pepin and a
Buick car that Henry Jodoin bought
of him The insurance companies,
who had settled claims on the cars at
ter they were stolen. were paid 70
their satisfaction. Mr.. Delisle and
Mr.. Jodoin have also been reimburs-
ed for the price paid for the cars and
Mr.. Pepin has taken the machines in
to his possession.
Shortly after the meeting IN which
the adjustments were made Mr.. Pep
IN said that he stood ready to make
good to anyone who had purchased
cars of him and who stood to lose be-
cause of any irregularity in the title
of the cars sold. He says that he will
stand back of all business that he does
or has done.

FAVCRS BUILDING
CORPORATION
Chamber of Commerce Takes
Up Matter of Housing
Problem
Also Favors Daylight Saving and
Presented Recommendation
TO City Council

The directors of the Putnam Cham
Der of Commerce met Friday night
and discussed matters of local con.
Germ.
The committee which has been
studying the possibilities in connec-
ton with the proposed community
building to be erected as war me.
mortal reported some progress on the
proposition, and it was agreed that
the committee be given more time To
work on the project
The members devoted much time
to a discussion of the housing prob
lem, which everyone realizes is stead
lily growing more serious. 1t has been
suggested that building corporation
might be formed for the purpose of
erecting houses which would be turn
ed over to purchasers as soon as they
were finished, and the funds again
employed in building other houses.
Such a corporation would give the in
vestors only comparatively small
return on their investment, but its
benefits to business men and manu-
facturers would be great, and well
worth the effort necessary to initiate
such movement.
1t was finally agreed that a COM
mittee of three directors be appoint
ed to bring the proposed plan to a
be secured, and President Dean APP
pointed A. d. Lown as chairman of
the committee, with Alexander Gil
man and L. C. Morse as associates.
The directors passed the following
resolution showing its appreciation of
the public spirited work of Ferdinand
Gagnon in keeping the highways
open and furnishing transportation
for shoppers and workmen during the
recent snow-bound period.
Resolved: That the board Of di-
rectors of the Putnam Chamber Of
Commerce express to Mr.. Ferdinand
Gagnon its sincere thanks and appre-
citation of his successful endeavors to
give the city and surrounding towns
uninterrupted transportation during
the severe weather which stopped
practically all other means Of travel.
The directors went on record as
favoring daylight saving and APP
pointed a committee consisting of +.
C. Morse, w. j. Bartlett and John G..
Johnson to recommend that the com
mon council adopt an ordinance to
place the city on daylight saving
schedule. The action was carried
out as appears in the common coun-
Gil proceedings in another column.

BIRDS ARE BEING WINTER
KILLED

Many birds are dying of starvation
because they cannot get food, due to
the heavy SHOWS.
1t is said that partridge and quail
are found lying dead In some sec
tons partridge have been lowering
about homes in the outlying sections
and have been fed
The partridge is not altogether a
ground bird. 1t is at home in a tree,
which quail seldom if ever takes
refuge in. The partridge eats buds
and gets much of its living above the
surface. III
The quail is a ground bird. 1t sits
on walls and fences but looks for its
food in the grass, stubble, etc. When
SHOWS come the quail gather under
bushes and when crust forms they
are hopelessly caught and they
starve.
While some cartridges will doubt
less survive the winter in all probable
ity the quail will all be killed.

Henry M Zazechke, Now Porter AT Putnam InnWas Recent
ly Operated On For Appendicitis

Although the local Red Cross is not
as prominent as during the war, the
organization is quietly working along
various lines week after week.
Through its members & real war
hero" has been found to be living in
Putnam and his story is an interest
ing one.
Some weeks ago a young fellow,
Henry NJ, Zazechke, applied for a
lob as porter at the Putnam Inn.
Since he came here he was taken ill
and was operated on for appendicitis
at the Day Kimball hospital. The
fact that the young man was in ser
vice and received citation in orders
for bravery has come to light
Zazeehke is a modest young man
and it was not through any informa-
ton that he volunteered that his con-
spicuous service was brought to light.
He was member of the 9Th Division.
He was in the regular army and West
Point officers were in command Of
the division and of his company. He
has an honorable discharge and was
wounded in the late part of the war.
Early in the war the 9Th Division
saw real service and later fought
from verdun to Metz. Zacechke
served as a runner and was continu-
ally in danger. How his officers felt
towards him and looked upon the val
liable service he rendered is best told
in the order in which he was cited
which is as follows:

and notified the police.
Captain Bulger made an investiga-
