TOWNS THAT ARE NOT WHAT THEY
 USED TO RE

Dear Sisters Practical Polly's de- crption of her trip from Canterbury to Wil.imant!c seems to have aroused mem ories in the minds of other sisters who like myself are acquainted in that region. but as to giving any definite information as to where you were rambling in those four ;ours I say with conundrum, Who can tel?' There is a perfect maze of road in the northern part of Westminster and Howard Valley where one could easily lose themselves and wander around for twice four hours, or even fourteen. And so like her say l should as soon think of going to Worcester CT Springfield or any other remote Aorthern place as to go to Brooklyn, to get from Cant erbury to Wilimant!c, and although the road from Westminster. to Scotland Is usually something fierce to use. a slang phrase it probably would have been. ID worse thrn the ones you did travel and after you get to where sister C., F. s. lives it is pain sailing, or ] rather riding s,r1ir;t into Wilimantic. I un- derstand that there~isr a state road pa a-tiy built now that is expected to exend from Canterbury to Scotland which will indeed be a blessing. Canterbury roads have | always been notorious'y bad, but then s0 are some other towns. I have fund | some no better in various other parts l of the country, .r
