MUST BUILD PAVEMENTS

Notices to citizens of Paris have
been issued by City Clerk ]. w. Hay
den to the effect that the city will
strictly enforce the ordinance requir-
ing cement or concrete pavements of
certain specifications to be construct
ed by property-owners on Pleasant
streets and other streets in the newer
sections of the city. If they are not
built immeditely the city will take
the matter in hand and build them,
charging the cost to the owners of
the abutting property.
In some sections of the city along
the outskirts residents have been
asking for city delivery of mail.
Postmaster J. Walter Payne has had
to explain that Section COG of the
United States Official Postal Service
Guide states that city delivery of mail
may not be extended by postmasters
unless the territory is provided with
good, continuous sidewalks, street
lights and street signs, and when the
houses are numbered and provided
with mail receptacles or slots in the
doors for the reception of mail.
And it makes some of us feel good

DOLLAR DAYS

There are all kinds of people II
the world. For instance, word comes
from Washington that some of the
retail merchants have been trying to
induce the government to put stop
to bargain days"
And the government, through Sec
rotary Hoover, has replied that this
is a matter with which it has moth
ing to do. This was the proper view
to take, of course. s
Think of taking dollar days,
away from the people! Do they want
to start revolution among the
women? 80.

At this season of the year, when all life is being renewed, it is fitting that we consider the debt which we owe to nature, which has blessed us so abundantly. It is our duty to ex- press in some measure our apprecla- tion of the gifts which surround us and which we accept so freely. To this end I hereby appoint Friday, the sixth day of May, 1921, as
 Arbor and Bird Day
 and recommend that the citizens of the state of Connecticut and es- pecially the teachers and pupils in the schools, obesrve this day in a manner beftting it's importance. Let the pupils of our schools be taught that the planting and care of shade trees, the protection of birds and their eggs, is not only an economic measure, but contributes to the beauty of our state and the enjoy ment of our homes. 1 further rec ommend the formation of town and village improvement associations to encourage tree, planting and bird protection and to exercise interested care over matters relating to the scenic beauty of our towns and cities Well kept roads, streets and lawns enhance the value of property and promote the general welfare of towns and villages"

"CHILDREN'S" PARTY
Grownups' Youthful Yearnings Dis played at Unusual Party

The grOWnup cnllureh oI rHsIlIl Church Guild, with their little friends, spent very happy time at the home of Miss Ruth Hatmaker on Monday evening. Drop the Hand kerchief, London Bridge, guessing contests, and various other games dear to the heart of childhood were played, and if some of the small guests became rather lively, it only proved the wholehearted enthusiasm with which they threw themselves into the spirit of the party.
 Refreshments consisting -, of ice cream and cake were served, after which the "children" departed, heedful of parental admonition to ''be good children and come home early", and expressing their willingness to have another similar party some day soon.
 The only regret connected with the happy affair was that the editor was not invited. Had it been other wise we should have had a photo graph on the front page of this edi- tion which would surely increase our circulation

ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT
 LOCAL RELIEF WORK
Official Commendation For Mrs. J. L. Parsons and
 Committee

State officials of the Near East Relief at the State Headquarters in Hartford were extremely enthu- siastic about the work done in Ca naan during the period of the Len ten Sacrificial Appeal by a committee of women headed by Mrs. Joseph L. Parsons. Although large contribu- tions had been received from Canaan for the relief of the suffering refu- gees in tn Near Eastern lands, when the special Easter appeal was made, Mrs. Parsons and her committee be- lieved that it was an appeal which could not be overlooked and they went to work immediately with, the result that $80.78 was secured and forwarded to State \Headquarers.
 The work done by the Canaan committee on the Saturday before Easter was a splendid example, State Director McDonough said, of the will and desire of a sympathetic people to aid in whatever way pos sible the many thousands of children who are in the Near East Relief orphan asylums. On this day, ladies from the various churches in Canaan collected funds at the post office, and the result for the day was $80.7S, the largest collection ever taken up for any drive at the post office.
 The work done by Mrs. Parsons and all of her co-workers has been heartily commended both at the State and National headquarters.

ANDERSON AND STEVENS
 BUY FAMOUS BULL
Other Notes of the Canaan Cow Testing
 Association

J. A. Anderson and Jarvis Stevens of Canaan Valley are the joint own- CTS of one of the richest bred Hol- stein bulls in these parts. He was purchased from Dodge Farm Wash ington, Conn.,, on April 3 after several months of searching for a herd sire in whose veins flow blood lines for high production and dairy conformation. No doubt but what this progenator of record cows win prove to be the nucleus of an ad- vanced dairy industry in and about his new home.
 The sire of this seven months old youngster is the famous Maplecresk bull of R. K. Dodge's, whom the lat ter considers the hest bred long dis tance bull in New England. The dam is three year old heifer, Payne Korndyke Alcartra, who is now on s. O. test and is promising to mals 15,000 lbs. of milk in ten months on twice a day milking. She traces twice to Colantha Johanna Lad. twice to Pontiac Korndyke and once to Hengerveld DaKol. Her full sis- ter, Zady Payne Alcartra Ed, has just completed the junior two year old record for the state with 542 ha- of milk and 26.8S5 lbs. of butter in seven days; she also has thirty day record of 2370 lbs. of milk. Accord ing to the "Holstein Blue Book" tho last record is next to the highest i'm the world for the junior two year old class.
 The herds of Messrs. Anderson and Stevens have been conspicuous in the Canaan Cow Testing ~Assocsa- tion for their good work along herd improvement lines, and it is felt that they are only beginning to reap a just reward by an opportunity ts purchase an animal who will prove to be an economic short cut to their ultimate objective in the dairy game

COM. BLODGETT AND
 STOECKEL REAPPOINTED
First, Native of Falls Village, Second From
 Norfolk

GoVernor Lake will transmit to the Senate this week reappointments to Motor Vehicles Commissioner Robbins B. Stoeckel of Norfolk, Tax Commissioner William H. Blodgett of Winsted and Public Utilities Com missioner Charles c. Elwell of New Haven.
 The terms of Commissioner Stoeckel and Blodgett will be for four years from June 1 and July 1, respectively and that of Commis- sioner Elwell for six years from July l. The first two appointments, under the statutes--reqnire the consent of the Senate and the last is in the form of nomination by the governor for appointment by the General Assem- bly,.
 Although long identified with leg islative activities, Commissioner Blodgett is the most recent addition to the list of state commissioners having acceped his place at the head of the tax department in February, 1920, upon appointment of ex-Gov- ernor Holcomb to serve the unex- pired portion of William H. Corbin's term. He is native of Falls Vil- lage, Canaan, 46 years old and a graduate of the Northern Indiana Law School. Having served as clerk of bills in four sessions of the Legis- lature, he is the author of hundreds of laws now on the Connecticut statute books. The salary for the office of tax commissioner is $3,000, but there is a bill before the appro- priations committee, sponsored by House Leader Buckley, increasing it to $7,500. The House leader has informed the appropriations com mittee to which the bill has been re- ferred, that it was only upon the understanding that an effort would be made at this session of the Leg islature to increase the salary, that MT. Blodgett could be induced by Governor Holcomb to leave his prac- tice to take charge of the tax de- partment.
 Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Stoeckel has held his preesnt office since it was established in 1917 by an act of the Legislature of that session which set. up the motor vehicle de- partment and relieved the secretary of the state of the administration of the motor vehicle law. He will finish on June 1 his first term, for which he was appointed by ex-Governor Holcomb at the end of the 1917 session of the Legislature. He is responsible for much of the legisla- tion that has made the highways safer in Connecticut. He is a native of New Haven, 4S years old and graduate of Yale University and the New York Law School. The present | salary of his office is $6,000 a year -Courant.

JOHNSON'S CASE Is '
 .'.. AGAIN CONTINUED
Former Norfolk Treasurer Will Be Put to Plea
 in June

< At the request of J. Clinton Rora- back, counsel for Philemon W. John son, former town treasurer of Nor folk, who is charged with embedding $17,000 of the towns funds, Judge Isaac Wolfe of the superior court last week continued the case until the June term. Johnson's bond re- mains at $1O,000.
 - -Phe case of the former town treasurer, who some time ago was arrested in Alberta, Canada, and brought back to Connecticut by State Policeman Thomas W. Nit chell, was originally brought before the February term of the superior court. It was continued until the April term, the reason given being the absence of important witnesses.
 States Attorney Walter Holcomb declined to give any reason for the continuance of the case. He said that he was ''not losing sight" of the case.
 There had been a rumor in circu- lation, only a few days ago, which gained no little credence, and which said that it had been arranged for Johnson to plead guilty at the pres ent superior court term. MT. Hol- comb admitted that he had heard various rumors, but said that they were all to be dismissed.
 Attorney J. Clinton Roraback will say absolutely nothing regarding the case in spite of local and city report CTS attempts to get a statement.

Some weather hound in Litchfield has dug up the following informa- ton concerning March weather re- cords:

Here are the figures. March 1921, average high, 51.48 degrees, average low 83.03, average mean 42.25; March 1920, average high 3e.94 degrees, average low 24.38, average mean 32.15; March 1919,. average high 42.s4 de- grees, average low 26.32, average mean 34.58. In 1921 March had g clear days, cloudy, 10 clear and cloudy, cloudy and rainy, and 2 clear, cloudy and rainy.
