In Honor of My Father,
J. r. Watkins, Died
August 81, 1921.

Oh, dear father, we do miss you,
And we feel so sad and lonely;
But you have gone to join the angels
that Unhappy home above,
And we hope to meet you there
Where we will sorrow never more;
But to live in peace forever
In that Bright City above the skies
Our home is so sad and lonely,
But oh, how happy you must be
In those beautiful streets of gold.
But our home has one vacant spot,
Which never can be filled,
If only once more we could see your face
Oh, how happy we would feel.
But never never more on earth know,
But hope to meet on that shore
Where we will part never more,
But will sing and shout for ever
On that happy golden shore.
Written by his daughter,
Mrs. E. c. Forbis,

 Two motorcycle policemen arrived in town on last Saturday afternoon and began a road examination of all motor vehicle drivers for licenses. Many and varied were the stunts play ed by many prominent citizens in or der to avoid questions from the police men. One driver left his machine near the First National bank and walked up to the garage where a driver with proper credentials was sent back for the machine. Others beat a nasty retreat over Furnace avenue. Others found security in their garages. During the evening a large sale of lights properly shaded, was reported at all of the local deal CTS. The post master reported large flow of mail toward Hartford on Mon day morning. Luckily the policemen were kind and accepted the excuse, in most instances where the drivers did not have their licenses with them, that the license was home on the piano, or a fine representative gather ing of local men would have been be- fore the court on Monday morning.
 The attention of the United States government will be called to the fact that the branches of the Grand Trunk railroad lines in this country will come under the direct control of the Canadian government under the order just issued to the Grand Trunk Com pany to turn over possession of its line to that government. The Central Yer mont and New London Northern rail- road, which is leased by the Grand Trunk is a part of this system. One of the most important features of the application is the recent plan of the Grand Trunk to construct a branch of the New London Northern line from Palmer, Mass, to Providence, thus giving the Grand Trunk direct con- neetions from Montreal, Quebec and other Canadian cities to Providence. The sistation which will be created if the Canadian government controls the American lines of the Grand Trunk in war times is apparently inn possible, in the minds of Connecticut residents who are close to the New Haven railroad system. Whether a protest will be made against the com pletion of the new Grand Trunk line from Palmer to Providence is unCer- tain, but it Is likely.

In the hope of beating some of our near by neighbors, a number of local sportsmen have decided to hold a public meeting in the Business Mems club rooms on Friday evening of this week and there to talk over the ad- visibility of forming a shooting club in Stafford. The town has within it's boundaries several men of fine shoot ing ability and others who given the opportunity would develop into first class shots. Probably the greatest amount of interest locally will center around trap shooting and several local trap shooters of ability are under promise to attend the meeting. All who are at all interested in shooting of any kind are urged to attend the meeting at the club tomorrow evening.
