NEW STATE ROADS
Litch6eld County Roads to be Inn
 proved During Next Two Years

State Highway Commissioner Bennett has announced the road building program adopted by his de- partment for the ensuing two years. At an expenditure of more than .$4,0OO,OOO, it will add nearly 100 miles of new construction to the 1,6OO miles of improved state high ways now in use in Connecticut. The road length of all Connecticut roads is 12,000 miles.
 Two million dollars is to be spent on three big federal aid projects. Chief among these will be a high grade highway 35 miles long up the Housatonic valley from New Milford to Falls Village, passing through Sherman, Kent, Cornwall, Sharon, Salisbury and Canaan. Not only does this promise a trunk line road up the west side of the state, but it will open up a hitherto undeveloped portion of Connecticut from a high way standpoint. The project will cost $1,000,000. The state and gov ernment will share the cost equally. The work will be started this fall or early In the spring and will take be- tween two and three years.
 The trunk line program, entire expense of which is met by the state, comprises 13 different projects, including the following:
 Closing gap two miles between Unionville and Collinsville.
 Outlet from Sherman to New Mil ford, two miles.
 Outlet from New Milford to Bridgewater, one mile.
 Completing road from Litchield to Goshen, two miles.
 Extending highway from Cole brook River to Massachusetts line at New Boston, a distance of a mile and half, provided the Bay state authorities will cooperate.

Bus to Run This Winter

The promoters of the South Berk- shire bus line state that this section is assured of a continuous service during the entire winter. A rotary snow blow has been purchased by the owners of the line and this will be attached to one of the five-ton t,Icks which they own and will be used to keep the roads open on their various routes. This will also enable the local motorists to drive their cars during the winter. The 'busses are also being equipped with the Cleveland car heaters. These will keep the cars warm during the sever est weather. There has been a ru- nor that the trolley might stop at South Lee after the fair for the rest of the winter, and in this case the bus line will be extended to that point.

STATE POLICE RAID
 SEVERAL PLACES HERE
Booze" Sellers Are Assessed Nearly $1,OOO With
 Costs

Fourteen state policemen, inclnd- ing Officers Preston and Leahy of this town, made a raid Saturday night on several places in this ylcln- ity, where beer and other. intoxicants were being sold. So we'll was the raid planned that almost at the same moment officers swooped down on seven different places between Nor folk and Falls Village.
 In Falls Village, Edward House was arrested and in this town Sam Pepino, Lizzie Seben, Charles Broggi and Geneva Belligini, were placed under arrest. At house in Norfolk where it was known the stuff was being sold, the owners could not be located. Officer Leahy found his man on Tuesday, however, after a diligent search.
 When brought before Justices of the Peace, here and in Falls Village, the prisoners pleaded guilty on vari- ous charges and were fined accord ingly. The total fines and costs totaled nearly $1,OOO.
 Other Arrests
 Officer Leahy arrested Miss Caro- line Prentice of Colebrook last Thursday for driving without an operator's license. She was fined $5 and costs.
 Bob McLain Captured
 Robert McLain, a pal of Bob Bailey's, was arrested in Massachu- setts last Friday morning by Sheriff Minkler of Great Harrington and Officer Preston. McLain has been sought for four years on a charge of breaking and entering the home of Joseph Montague, in March, 1917.
 At the time of the burglary, Me Lain made his escape but Bailey was trapped in house by posse. Depu- ty Sheriff Rhoades of Canaan was seriously injured by Bailey, when he started to go through trap door into an attic after his man and was struck on the head with heavy club.
 Bailey is now awaiting trial at the October term of the Superior Court. McLain, also has been bound over. With long jail sentences facing these two men, southern Berkshire county and this section will undoubtedly be rid of two characters who have made no end of trouble for years.

Jewish Leap Year

The Jewish high holidays, which are usually observed at about this time of year will not be observed this year until considerably later. This is on account of the fact that 1921 is leap year in the Jewish calendar. The holidays referred to are Rosh Hashonah (New Year's) Yom Kipur (Day of Atonement) and the feast of Gedaliah, and usually comes dur ing the first week in September.
 The Jewish New Year begins on Oct. 3, the feast of Gedaliah falls on Oct, } and YOm Kippur on Oct. 12. Leap year" on the Gregorian calen- dar signifies the addition of one day to every fourth year but on the Jew ish calendar it means the addition of @ month.

Game Law Books

Copies of the 1921 edition of game laws of the various states are being sent to various sportsmen by the fed eral government, but the edition is absolutely worthless so far as the Connecticut game laws are concern cd as they take no notice of the changes made by the last legislature. All the Connecticut laws are those in effect in 1919, several of which have since been amended. Apparently tke compilers of the book overlooked the fact that the state legislature meets every two years. The state manuals of fish and game laws, in- cluding the 1921 revisions, are ex- pected to be distributed shortly.

REPORT OF COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS CONDITION
Outdoor Dances Proved a Big Success During
 Summer

The summer entertainments of the Community Association starting with the Field Day and closing with the last dance have proved great sourse of pleasure to both young and old. The dances proved to be success because of the spirit of cooperation on the part of all. About four hun dred people gathered every Saturday night on the playground either to dance or to listen to the music and watch the dancing. All out of town visitors remarked about how nice the dances were. 1t was a great pleasure to the Community Assocla- ton to feel that all were trying to make them a success.
 The Board of Directors feels that if Canaan people would become mem bers of the Association by paying a small annual fee they would be more interested in what the Association IS doing for their town.
 Every town needs one organlza- tion in which people of all ages and from all walks of life can get to- gcther and work together.
 The annual meeting will take place next month and it is hoped to have a good attendance and it is hoped to enlarge the Board of Directors so that a younger element may be talk en in and gradually fitted to go on with the work as the older members drop out.
 Whether this organization con- tinues to be active and force in the town depends on it's citizens. If they do not think a Community Association like this one in Canaan is worth while let them go to some town where there is no such organi- zation and note the difference.
