JEWETT CITY

All Thursday morning the borough was on watch for the Norwich Suburban air man. He hove in sight at just the right time. as the 400 odd Riverside school children filled the streets. One sharp eyed girl claims the distitction of first getting a glimpse of the approaching plane. Then there was q great shouting and running. The machine passed over the town at so great an altitude that. under the influence of a stiff northerly breeze, most of the Diers were blown over the town, well above the church spires. Some, however, landed and they could not have been bounced upon with more ayidity had they been dollar bills. The | rattle of the exhaust could be plainly heard for minute or more. The word was received in the borough that he was | coming from Mrs. Frank Geer. The flyer passed over her home, a farmhouse. three miles above the town, low down. and be- slowed a bundle of bills which partly papered the farm She called The Bull | letin in Jewett City and told the news. One man said: Hope when that feller | comes agin he'll get little neigher tew."
