PUTNAM

Effort to make the Salvation Army
drive for $500 for its Home Service
fund was productive of good results on
Saturday, when several hundred dollars
were obtained here. The canvass was
carried out much after the manner that
had been planned, the days program
bringing, i'll the evening, dancing in
Union square. Showers that came late
in the afternoon had the effect of spoil
ing in some degree the dance floor
which was the paving of the square. The
dancers were not SO numerous in the
early part of the evening as had been
hoped would be the case, but as the eve
ming wore on more and more couples
entered into the enjoyment of the occa-
sion. The crowd that gathered to watch
the dancing and to hear the music by
the North Grosyenordale band was SO
large at times as to remind one of the
similar scene in the same place on the
evening of Welcome Home day, last
Labor day.
The square was kept clear of motor
vehicles and drivers of these machines
found difficulty in finding a location III
which to leave their cars. Main street.
Union, Canal, Pomfret and other streets
were crowded to capacity with cars and
many more machines were parked in the
rear of the Putnam inn.
The Salvation Army added to its

doughnuts and coffee.
