Picnic Time

"Tis June again and in my soul 1 feel the fllin' joy
 That's sure to come this time O year To every little boy.
 For every June the Sunday Schools At picnics may be seen
 Where fields beyond the swelling
 flood
 Stand dressed in livin' green.
 Evidently there are many today who share something of Eugene Fields small boy in picnics for when the count was made last Thursday of those who sat down to a bountiful picnic lunch at the combined annual picnic of Pilgrim Church and Clay ton Chapel held at Lake Buel the roll totaled 165. No picnic would he complete without thunder shower and a very copious one was provided. which quickly soaked the picnic grounds among the pines but did not dampen the spirits of the party. The shower cleared the air and the Clay ton members staid and enjoyed themselves until 7:30 in-the evening.
 No casualties are reported.

[. 2. D7BBLE. RESIGNS
 AS LOCAL TESTER Will Re-Enter College to Complete His
 Studies

, B. F. Dibble, the competent and popular tester for the Canaan Cow Testing Association has resigned and expects to attend the summer school at Columbia and then re-enter the State College at Storrs next Fall. To say that his resignation is deeply re- gcetted by the whole family of every member of the association Is to put it mildly, for everyone liked him per isonally. Furthermore he has proved to be one of the hardest working and most capable men ever employed as a COW tester in New England.
 MT. .Dibble came to the Associa- ton in February 1920, immediately took hold of his work with interest and enthusiasm and won the friend ship of everyone with whom he came in contact. He has not been satis- fled to test milk and keep records alone, but he has worked every min ute to interest his employers in bet ter stock. AS a result many grade bulls have been replaced by pure hreds, several pure bred bulls of ex- cellent breeding have replaced pure breds of unknown value and few farmers have made a start with good pure bred females. An excellent foundation has been laid for pros porous dairying.
 Dairy Specialist P. A. Campbell of Storrs has had much experience with herdsmen, with dairy students and with COW testers. Both Prof. Camp bell and County Agent Davis agree that MT. Dibble has done an excep- tionally good piece of work and that he has few equals and probably no superiors as a COW tester. Their good wishes as well as those of his many friends in Canaan and Corn wall will go with him and they all "T1ect even better results of him after he has completed the studies which he now plans.---F.

Editor Henry B. Hale, of the East Hartford Gazette, and Mrs. Hale called at the News office on Monday for a short time. MT. and Mrs. Hale are on a two years trip around the world and are making the first lap of the journey in their car to San Fran cisco.

Arriv- ing in San Francisco they will sell their car. They expect to return to East Hartford in the spring of 1923.

J. A. BIANCHPS STORE
 ENTERED BY BURGLARS
Enter Through Window Some Time During Monday :
 Night

The clothing store of J. A. Bianchi was entered some time during Mon day night and merchandise valued at between two and three hundred dollars taken. Access to the store was obtained by prying open window in the rear of the store with a blunt instrument, after which the b >rglay or burglars carefully drew the shades and apparently leis7ralT took what merchandise they desired.
 Among the goods known to have been taken, vas a box of silk shirts, size IA; box of silk hose; several Ingersoll watches which sell for about SIP; two or three suits, size 37; bathing suit; two suit cases, caps, trousers, etc. Only small amount of money which was left in the cash register was taken.
 The burglary was discovered when MT. Bianchi opened the store about seven o'clock Tuesday morning. When unlocking the door he noticed as soon as he stepped inside he saw goods more or less strewn about the store. Upon making an investigation he noticed empty boxes thrown on the floor that contained shirts, hose, etc., ,~while the coathangers on which the suits hung were also on the floor. Other boxes and merchandise were more or less strewn about.
 From the size of the goods taken, it wodld appear that the work was done by boy or young man. It is thought that an amateur is respon- sible and that he does not live out side the town.

NORFOLK TRIUMPHS IN
 HARD FOUGHT GAME
Locals Go Down to Defeat in Norfolk Saturday
 Afternoon

Canaan dropped another hard fought game to Norfolk on Satur- day afternoon. Norfolk had one of the best all-around aggregations that has been seen on Case Field in quite a while. The home-team collected ten hits, Sawin and Kenney leading the batting with four hits apiece, one for each trip to the plate. Ca- naan got nine securities, nearly every man getting one. Five extra-base clouts were registered, Calnan get ting a triple, and Mcleod, Meade, Shea and Kenney cracking out doubles. Kenney played a fine game at third for Norfolk, getting his throws away, with one exception, with speed and good aim. Miller put up brilliant exhibition at short, grabbing several hard hit liners. Hubby made some crack pickups of low heaves to the initial sack. Calnan played his usual good game, gathering in four high ones at short. Shea and Sullivan were pretty we'll matched, but Sullivan had the breaks with him. Evidence of their good control is shown by the fact that not a base on balls was issued by either. The Canaan out fielders were credited with four put-outs while Norfolk made two in the outer gardens. Fraleigh and Sawin had no chances. The score by innings:
 First---F. Minacci was out at first, Sullivan to I. Minacci. Mcleod grounded out to Kenney. Miller ex- pired at first, Sullivan to l. Minacci. No hits, no runs.
 McMann flied to Casey. Torrant and Calnan grounded out to Shea. No hits, no runs.
 Second--Sherpinski popped to McMann. Meade lifted one to Tor rant. Casey famed. No hits, no runs.
 Uhrig was thrown out by Miller. Sawin singled to center and ad- vanced to second on I. Minacci's sacrifice. Kenney singled to right and Sawin came in. R. Minacci struck out. Two hits, one run.
 Third--Fraleigh and Hubby lifted to Calnan. Shea famed. No hits,
