 The ice storm that wrought so much havoc in surrounding towns and par ticuIarly in the northern part of New England did no real damage locally. Several of the roads were rendered impossible by trees that had become overburdened with sleet and ice and had fallen across the roadway. The trolley lines were held up at times but car came through at intervals throughout the storm, Telephone wires were not damaged in the local exchange to any great extent but cOmmunition was cut off from sur rounding towns. The most noticeable damage caused by the ice was in the suspension of the high tension line by the falling of several towers in Mas sachusetts. It is thought that the line will not be wholly repaired until the first of next week. The Stafford Worsted Go. and the Phoenix Woolen Co. shut down entirely. The Cyril Johnson WOolen Go. and Smith & Cooley are only partly running. The local electric light plant with the help of the Stafford Worsted Co. part of the time have furnished power to sup ply the homes and street lights.

 Thomas Fitzpatrick, better known as Steeple Tom, throughout New En- gland, gained further fame in Peace Dale on last week when a very diff cult ascension of a 165 foot chimney was made through his ingenuity with out mishap. A kite manipulated by the steeplejack was flown over the chimney and when directly above it's top was allowed to drop over the other side. Then ropes of increasing size and carrying power were pulled over the chimney top until after a long time one strong enough to carry a chair and man was in place. Mir. Fitzpatrick made an inspection of the chimney and has been engaged to re- turn to Peace Dale and aid in further harnessing the chimney. Fitzpatrick spent a greater part of his youth in Stafford and news of his various ex- pl0its are continually coming to the town.
