Fatal Auto Accidents

Figures of fatal automobile acci- dents in the state for the first six months of the year show a decrease as compared with the number for the corresponding period of 1919. This year up to June 30 there were 76 while in 1919 for the same months the number was 98. This decrease is in the face of the fact that there has been an increase of 20 per cent. in the number of motor vehicles. There were fewer child victims. Mo tor Vehicle Commissioner Stoeckel attributes the reduction in fatalities principally to the fact that there is cordial cooperation between his de- partment and the police authorities throughout the, state and the state police departmAAt in the enforce ment of regulations.

"Over There"

"Over there" when the destinies of nations hung in the balance for months at time, men valued their lives by the moment, in their des- peration and aggressive eagerness to crash headlong into the enemy's planes if necessary and take their chances of ever coming out alive, so confident were they of their prowess. Beating the Hun became a fascina- ting game with them, and as usual the best fighting blood of America was aroused to action-they won. They downed the Hun.

CIVIL WAR VETERAN AN
 SWERS LAST ROLL CALL
James E. Greene Passes Away Friday at His Home , in Canaan

With the passing away of James E. Greene, David s. Cowles Post, G. A. R. loses another member, each year seeing the number becoming less. It was a significant fact that at the funeral services, all but one cf the present members of the Post were able to attend.
 James Edgar Greene was born at Mills Pond, Setauket, L. l., August 16, 1840, thus lacking less than a month of reaching 80 years.
 At 21 years of age he enlisted at Geneva, N. Y. as a private in Go. A, 148 tn New York Infantry; serving until the close of the war, and was honorably discharged at Richmond, Va. June 1865.
 7- In December 1866, he married Miss Charlotte s. Hadley of New York city, by whom he is survived, also by three daughters, Mrs. Mary C.. Kemp of Great Harrington !; Misses Edith E. Greene of Canaan and Grace Irene Greene of New York City. One brother, Rev. C.. Milton Greene of Oconomowoc, Wis consin, also survives him, and dur ing the past few months visited the family in Canaan.
 MT. Greene had made his home in Canaan for nearly forty years, high ly respected for his quiet ways, and his unfailing cheerfulness; the last few years he has been unable to do much except to care for his garden and place, in which he took much pride.
 Funeral services were held at his late residence on West Main street, Monday afternoon, Rev. F. H. Neal of the Methodist church, of which Mir. Greene was a member, officiat- ing. Interment was in the family plot in the lower cemetery.

Most Any Way to Get 1t

That every means of conveyance is now being used to hoodwink the Government in carrying liquor from one State to another, is shown by a story which was told in Greenwich, when it became known that some federal agents on duty in Seymour, Conn.,, stopped a hearse which was passing along the towns main thor oughfare. Sitting alongside the driver was man attired in the garb of priest nd carrying a prayer book. In the hearse the federal ag- ents found several gallons of liquor stored away and they straightway placed the driver and his companion, who was impersonating a priest, under arrest. The pair were taken to Bridgeport to stand trial.-News and Graphic.

OFFICIAL BULLETIN
 ON POISON IVY
Issued by Bureau of Prevent
 able Diseases, Dept. of Health

There have been many inquiries received from citizens of Connecti- cut in regard to poisoning from, and the eradication of, poison ivy. This bulletin is issued that others may be assisted in carrying out preven- tive methods against ivy poisoning. The material is largely taken from the weekly report of the U. s. Pub lie Health Service dated February 20, 1920. .... -~.
 The poison ivy vine is found in many places in Connecticut, along roadsides, on stone walls, in fields, and in fact it adapts itself and flourishes in almost any soil. It is often overlooked as it intermingles with other shrubbery and the un- suspecting individual handles it and is poisoned. The symptoms appear from a few hours to four or five days after contact with the ivy vines. The ivy is more poisonous in the spring and summer when the acrid juice of the plant is most abundant.
 The leaves of all forms of poison ivy are in threes, each leaf stalk bearing three leaflets. The foliage is beautiful red early in the spring, becoming green in summer and in the autumn turns to scarlet and orange shades. The Virginia creeper is found in localities where ivy grows and although it is harm less, it is often mistaken for the poisonous variety. The Virginia creeper easily distinguishable from poison ivy for each leaf stalk bears from three to five leaflets instead of three only, as in the case of the ivy vine. In addition, the creeper, be. ing of the grape family, bears small blue inedible berries and has mum. erous tendrils.
 Prevention
 Much can be accomplished to ward the protection of persons who come in contact with Rhus vines, and also in preventing or lessening the disastrous effects following expos ure. Toxic plants can usually be handled with impunity if rubber gloves are worn, provided none o1 the dust or irritating material comes in contact with the body"
 tsOne of the surest and best meth ods of individual prophylaxis is ths use of soap and hot water. It has been found that the Rhus poison af ter being deposited upon the skir requires a certain time for penetra tion, and if ths penetration can be prevented, irritation and the result ing eruption will not occur. Ho' water and soap act mechanically and if judiciously used constitute b! far not only the most serviceablt preventive but also one of the besI (Continued on page Al

COST OF NORTH CANAAN
 PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Extracts From Report a
 School Committee For "''S ya44 Past Year

With the close of the school year, officially July IA, the town school committee are required to make 8 formal report of expenditures to the state board of education; from that report for the past year we are permitted to take the following figures.
 The total cost of the schools for the year 1919-20 was $2O,177.87, from this amount should be deduct ed the following credits which have been paid into the town treasury ; received from the state for enumera- tion grant $1,O48.50, from the sup port of schools grant, $2,775.52, from library grant $40.00 making a total from the state of $3,864.O2; ; there also comes to the town treas urer for tuitions from out of town pupils $1,158.91; this comes from the neighboring towns of Norfolk, Salisbury, Cornwall and Canaan. This makes the net cost to. the town $15,154.94, an increase of $3,323.32 over the year previous year, the most of this increase going to the salary account, averaging something over $200.00 to each teacher em- ployed, and the same amount has been allowed for the increase in salaries for the next year.
 This has been found necessary in order to hold teachers of the grade and standards of the past, the town is fortunate to be able to retain on the teaching force so many from one year to the other, while many near by towns are having difficulty in fill ing the ranks of the teachers needed. "
 Thus the salaries of all the tea chers were 1850, text books cost $545.48, stationery and supplies $609.94, janitors wages were $1,137.80, fuel and janitors sup plies $977.89, incidentals $383.42, repairs $670.29, library $40.00, re- placement of equipment and new equipment $323.40, the general ex- penses of the committee amounted to $139.65.
 The item for fuel is about $500 less than for the previous year, as up to this year, the committee have been able to secure at least a part of the fuel for the next year; but up to the present time no fuel of any kind
