lspectal to The Times.l

Stratford, June 30-For refusing to allow a member of the Anderson Dunn -Kochis post of the American Legion to place one of their posters in a window of his store in the cen ter yesterday morning as an adver- tisement for their carnival, one of the proprietors of this certain place of business is receiving criticism from all corners Of the town and some are even making dire threats against the local merchant who has conducted a lucrative business in Stratford Center for many years ITO think,'' said the veteran of several battles ot the recent World War, that l fought for such man as this who, now that the conflict is over, does not care enough about us Strat- ford men to place a small poster in his store window to assist us in get ting permanent headquarters for our meetings is enough to make us think that this individual is not an Ameri- can citizen at heart although he was born in the country which has made him quite independent" Every other store in Stratford," said the former service man, was very glad to place one or more of our posters in their window and a number of fered other assistance which the members of our post deeply appre- ciate.' How they will feel about the willful merchant the veteran would not venture to say.
