 W. w Leck. superintendent of the Stratford avenue plant of the Amer | ican Tube & Stamping company. is slowly recovering from the serious burns he receved on one foot while year. He will not lose his foot which will be welcome news to his many friends and acquaintances, but he is not yet able to resume his work but is cOnvaleSc1ng at his home on East Broadway.
 The second meeting to be held in the interests of the proposed Cham Der of Commerce for Stratford will occur in the town hall on Friday evening, when it is hoped to complete the list of 300 pledges which will be sufficient to proceed with the organ Every one interested is urged to att tend, and bring along a friend if pos sible, for it is thought that a flying start will go a long ways towards making the organization successful and useful to the community.
 On Thursday evening at the Strat- ford alleys match game will be roIled between the young ladies from the Am merican Tube & Stamping com pany and those of the General EIec- tric. The girls more popuIarly known as the Tubers believe that with their recent victory they have shaken the jinx that followed them so long and are confident of taking at least two out of three games Thursday evening. At any rate the girls from the Han cock avenue plant will be on hand with pink scarfs, sore thumbs, and lots of pep, with several rooters on hand to assist the score keeper, and they promise to give the young ladies nf he General Electric a ShQ,plx S1Ic11 as is not caused by the we'll known juice.

 The streets in the center every day take on more the appearance of front line trenches, and while the resi- dents will be mighty glad to once again see them looking natural pearance is necessary to the installa ton of the sewerage system which will soon be a reality, and which is something that Stratford has needed those living in the new outlying resi- dential sections that the time is not far distant when it will be possible to extend the system through these sec
 
 served.
 There are people who live right in Stratford who have not been to Paradise Green in years. It seems strange but it is so nevertheless. One party recently who got on the sub feet was surprised to know that the ice houses no longer grace the banks at Judson's pond, and didn't know that the day was at hand when ska CTS could enjoy the pond unmolested. Paradise Green today, and the green five years ago, is a different sort of place The, business center there now is almost as extensive as was that in Stratford center five years ago.
 Immediately at the green will be found a post office sub- station, an up-to-daIte drug store, a gasoline sta ton, a hardware store, barber shop' two markets, two chain grocery stores, a shoe repair shop, dry goods store, garage and a combination news store and restaurant This will be somewhat of a shock to some of the older inhabitants who still picture Paradise Green as being wild and woolIy but the fact is that the rapld and high class growth, due largely l to the agency of Harry Burnes, ana | the firm of Wood & Varborough, IS making this section a community that is going to soon have a voice m Stratford matters that will have to be heard. It is a colony that is per nranent, and made up almost eH- clusiyely of people who own their own property. If you haven't seen fhe green section for several years, take trip up that way You VIII be surprised, and agreeably so
