Pachaug grange celebrated Thursday evening an event somewhat out of the ordinary. A class of 24 received degrees and theer were bounteous tables spread In the chapel across the way where so many good times have been enjoyed. Clark C. Palmer, one of the sturdy rep resentatives Of Griswold's fast passing pioneers, had reached his Sfth birthday. When Pachaug rangers cut a figure 1t is a safe bet tH.-t it is cut-they never half do a thing. So a great ten-pound birthday cake was made under the inn mediate direction of no less an artist than Mrs. William Christopher. Eighty seven candles were arranged around the top, and later the sturdy Griswold resi- dents from all the country round saw the cake presented to Clark c. Palmer by their master, Harold E. Geer
 For the past 60 years and more people in this town have made it point If pos sible, to be present when MT. Palmer was scheduled to. speak. During the days of the famous Hopeville lyceum 40 years ago people by the dozen walked the three miles to Hopeville to listen when MT Palmer and the late Joseph Roode were pitted against each other as the leaders on the floor
 The cake, the sentiment and all com ing so unexpectedly, found MT. Palmer little overcome, but on the job as usual During his remarks he spoke of his fellow townsman, Jephtha Bill who is 9S. He said that made him feel like @ boy and when citing the age of 105, which a Hopeville man has recently reached. MT Palmer said he felt like kid, flor sure ly. you see" said he. T am only ST."

Mr Barnett was advised to construct and maintain an additional outside steel fire escape from the balcony. which sugges- tion he will put into operation at once, and will communicate with the Berlin Bridge company to day that there may be no delay. Two years ago Mir. Barnett expended over $500 for new steel fire es- capes, seat anchors and other safety de- vices suggested by the state inspector With the addition of the Eew escape there will be nine exits from the theatre.
