DANIELSON

Needy families of Danielson benefited |
at the holiday through the generosity of
Putnam lodge Of Elks. which has large
membership in Danielson. Acting for the
lodge, Louis E. Kennedy on Saturday
distributed a number of baskets filed to
overlooking with good things for the hol-
iday. and these baskets brought real JOY
into what otherwise would have been
desolate homes. Each year Putnam
lodge Of Elks. in keeping with the pre-
cepts of the organization, distributions
Christmas cheer in all parts of the ju-
risdiction- In Danielson the practice has
been followed for years, though it Is
one Of the things that the Elks say little
about, preferring to let. acts replace any
outward display.
Twenty-One baskets were distributed
to families in Danielson and vicinity by
the Danielson Benevolent association, it
was stated Sunday. This very worthy
organization each year remembers those
who are so situated as to enjoy to the
fullest the spirit of Christmas, through
the cooperation of the good and gener-
Gus people of this town. This year
each basket contained either chicken
or a duck, vegetables, fruits and other
good things that go toward the making
Of a festival dinner. ThCSN who have
contributed to the fund used to provide
these dinners may well be pleased with
the Joy that they made possible IN many
homes that otherwise would have been
desolate on the great holiday. The CIV
ing that made possible the buying Of the
dinners was probably as liberal this
year as it has been in The past, although
no definite amour cement as to this may
be made at this time for no count has
been made of the amount of money in
49, 1.o1as IN ,z%n
and other places of business about town.
Up at Attawaugan, q children's sui
eide club has been organized. 1t may
not be known officially under such a
head, but as a matter of cNld, hard fact
It is little less than that. No reasona-
BILE person would deny a normal child
full measure of enjoyment, but a con-
servative one might have grave doubts
as TO the wisdom Of allowing a young
ster the privilege Of taking sled that
may have been a Christmas gift and use
it coasting on a state highway where
there Is heavy and steady traffic-an
open invitation to accident and possible
death. At the week end and on Sun
day, when there was a glare Of ice. mo-
florists did their very best to sones At
tawaugan family that has child members
from following up the holiday celebra-
lies to which the children belong were
apparently doing nothing to avert sucf
a calamity. Sliding on a. state high
way is an especially dangerous adven-
ture for children. This warning is Civ
en- early in the winter in order that toe
much blame may not attach to any mo
torist who happens to run over a child
enjoying itself to the utmost, but. may
hap, with utter disregard for its owl
inn
lty toward Attawaugan or its people
but It is one of the most dangerous vii
lagos anywhere hereabouts TO driv'
through insofar as avoiding running owe
children who are coasting Is concern
ID A little help from Aattawaugal
antilles relative to asking the young
yters to slide elsewhere than on tn
busy state highway may ssvN tears an
regrets as the winter wee.rs on.
