 Here's funny angle to the probibi at ton question, which persists in hain, near-pararnount, notwithstanding th l. death and burial of old John Rar1evcor,, Id A Hartford paper, which, evidently, ha Id been seeking interviews, calls attentio,
 10 the fact that some Connecticut town |, which were~ no-license up to last Oc
 tober voted license at the annual tow A mee edngs in that month. The point ls
 should there be any modification of th AZ Folstead act, that towns voted last fa' lo and Killingly was one of these-wil

 re On the subject of voting for Icens of the Hartford paper quotes Town Cler IT. Frank T. Preston of this town as sax "A ing: "The license people put in a pt
 tition for vote on the question last ia
 in spite of the passage of the eighteent = amendment, and it is possible their O,
 ponents will petition this fall for anotl
 CT vote in the hope of changing la, years decision for license by a vote 566 to 40S. However, I haven't heard
 thing in the way of talk about the ma ter and I haven't the slightest idea wh; will be done. Such vote, whichever wa 1t went, would, of couree, amount to I more than an expression of public sent
 n1ent as to the justice of national pr
 hibition."
