Mir. Babson Is to serve as master for the third consecutive term.
 It was noted with satisfaction by the traveling public that neither trains nor troleys were seriously hampered in op- eration in this territory by the storm, which was of unusual severity. AS a. re. suit of the Connecticut company having kept it's cars going day and night without letup since early Sunday morning that line was kept comparatively free of ice. In view ef the developments of Monday and Tuesday it sems certain that the troll ley line would have become ice-bound had not this precaution been taken to keep cars running over the line at all hours. Deer and foxes are said to be mere numerous in territory in this immediate xiclnlty this fall than ever before. Deer are again appearing in herds of five and seven. Foxes may be started any day, hunters say, in territory east of Daniel son and nea rthe Rhode Island line. Miss Marion Gammons of Manchester, this state, has been engaged to teach at l the West Side school, as a successor to Miss Annie Day, who recently resigned. Miss Gamnnons is a graduate of Connec- | ticut college, class of 1920, and during , the past school year taught at Mexico City.
 There seemed to be little inclination 1 among borough folks to clean off side walks during Tuesday and only occasion al and widely separated patches of clear l ed walks were to be found during the l forenon hours. Those who were obliged i to be out had to experience the added dis
 comfort of wading through slush as well
 as battling against the spelting rain
 It was stated Tuesday that nothing def- 1 mite has been ahcertained as to the iden- tity of the dog that raided the flock of sheep at the Oliver DoHrns farm in Brooklyn a few weeks ago and killed
 many of the animals. The matter has | been subject to, considerable investiga- 1 tion and inuiry, however and Shere is
 still hope of locating the dog and of as- I sessing the damages against it's owner | The making of Wreaths for Christmas i is already under way in this territory. l Numerous persons have found that there
 is considerable revenue in gathering
 green and fashioning them into wreaths,
 which find a ready sale in Danielson and
 other communities in the town Of killing l ly.

PUTNAM

More sleet, a downpour of rain and traces of snow came Tuesday as seoue- to the ic estorn that tiedthings in a knot in this section with the opening of the present week.
 Early risers Tuesday morning found 1t showing hard. Flashes of lightning and crashing thunder added to tie variety of the weather during the early, morning hours Later there came downpour of ram that would match anYthing seen hereabouts in long time.
 In it's fourth day the northeast storm that has. been of unusual severity reached the height of it's intensity in this section of the county and practically tied up busi- ness. 1...
 Neither rail nor trolley service was interrupted by the, storm. Trains reg ularly and cars followed their regular schedule very closely. Motor traffic was reduced to a minimum, however. Few cars other than those engaged, in busi- | ness service venturs;i out, for the going was extremely treac,.eI ous.
 Throughout all of the territory sur rounding Putnam there was repetition 1 on Tuesday of tales told Monday of poles and trees ssagging and breaking down under the weight of ice. At Putnam 1 Heights and in the East Putnam section | wires were down In all directions. Ice 1 laden trees and white birches sagged 1 down over state highways all through this territory, adding to the necessity of watchfulness ca li,e ps It. of operators of l 1nLto. r:eh:c.rs.
 South of here. over the Killingly ave- nue route to Attawaugan. Dayville and Danielson, trees were fairly laden with | ice and whole fields of birches were bent over until the tops of 2Gfoot growths were touching the ground. This scene was repeated along the Putnam-Chepach- 1 ct route and at other points in the ter 1 ritory.
 With characteristic energy the crews
 of the telephone company worked to restore service to hundreds of subscribers 1 cut off from. communica ton with the division territory by the havoc of the ! storm, the southern belt of which seemed to be in this immediate vicinity There was very little ice south of AttaWaugan
 All through this territory sessions of 1 school were called off Tuesday morning 1 when the storm was at it's height and rain was falling in torrents. Milkmen never-failing servants of the public managed to make their rounds, though many of them covered their routes while enduring hardships of trying nature 1 Travellers arriving here from points tc the north told of deep snow and more serious damage to wire lines than was evident in this territory.
 As had been the case during Sunday night, the Connecticut company operated cars ali night long Monday to keep the
 lines of the Putnam division open, and the effort met with success.

1t remained for the French to con-

heroes. Birds which performed dis

courage in the line of duty were
awarded the Croix de Guerre or the

Diplomas with the citations were
issued and kept at the headquarters
of the French Pigeon Service, and be-
cause pigeons cannot wear medals on
their breasts special bands, with the

A bird which will go down In
French history just as surely as Field
Marshal FOch himself is the one which
carried from Vaux to Verdun the last
message for help sent by Commandant
Raynal before the Germans captured
the fort. This pigeon flew through
a hail of fire and a gas barrage, and,
wounded and gassed, dropped dead as

uncommon thing a few years ago to
see a woman with gun in the woods
but there were few, generally ma

more than for fun, but this season
there are great many women in

with good guns who are following the
deer with the men. These women Sc
