A successful food sale was held in the town hall yesterday afternoon. s The Eighth District Civic Associa- tion held a meeting last evening in IGlias Whitney school, the purpose of which was to give Walter keeling, the new councilman from the district, elected with such large majority, some sort of recognition and encour- agement for the hard work ahead of the council.

 Even though the independents have provided a new fire house in Lordship, about block from the house where the No. truck is sta-

 regular crew Is sufficient, ana that the needs of the section can best be | 'oaken care of with the truck m the present location.
 1nasmuch as the Lordship truck is l believed now to be in better conditaOn l than the No. truck at Nichols ave | nue, il is probable that when the new | piece of apparatus is ordered, and ! lr-fIar nd 6a1 JAiI | be stationed at the central station l the present hose truck to be convert | ed to d chemical, and at the present | chemical used as a reserve p4ece ot | apparatus, to carry hose. Should this | program De carried out it is not un- l likely that the Nichols avenue com 1 pany will be discontinued, and the
 piece of apparatus now on duty there l sold.
 | When people have complaints they l often come to a newspaper with their | troubles. The latest complaint has
 been concerning alleged unpleasant ! ,CtdorS arising from the creek that | separates Stratford from Bridgeport On the budget for the last fscaI
 year the Probate Court was only al | lowed $200. This amount was exceed ed by $26.5S, the amount charged to
 the deficit column by Judge c. H 1 Welles.
 When two members of the Ameri
 can Legion took a trip to Yellow Mil ! Green, Bridgeport, to look over the 1 Bridgeport Legions carnival adver- i tised to hold forth until October 22 | they found that the tents had beer { olded, the frost shaken out of the
 es-ikes and poles, and the carniva | moved to warmer climes. CarniVaB
 are rather out of season in Connecti 1 cut at this time of the year.
