NO CHANGE IN PRICE
 FOR DECEMBER MILK Announcement Made by the Directors After Holiday
 Conference

The rairymen's League price frr funl milk for December will rer ain the salre as for the past two months. Prices for December milk were rec commended by the Board of Directors of the League meeting in New York City on November 16th. The prices for milk used for manufacturing pur- poses were changed somewhat.
 Class 1 milk, that is fluid milk, will be sold for $3.37 per hundred pounds delivered to dealers in the 201-210 mile freight zone. This price is for 3 per cent milk subject to the 'lsual butterfat and freight differentials.
 Class 2, which includes milk used in the manufacture of fancy cheases of the soft type and cream and ice cream will be $2.25 per hundred pounds. ~,--
 Glass is subdivided into two classes, 3a and 8 b. Class a milk includes all that used in making milk Towder and cheeses of the hard type sIch as Limburger, Swiss, Pineapple and Edam, the price for this class will be determined by the market quota. tions for butter plus 35 cents re1 hundred pounds. The price for Class 3b, that is milk used in the manufac. tue of condensed and evapCrated milk, will be determined by marllet quotations for butter, to wnica 15 cents per pound will be added.
 The price of Class i milk, that uged in the manufacture of butte' and American cheese, will be deter mined as usual by the market quota. tions on these commodities.
 Under the pooling plan the produc. CTS will receive an average price based on all milk sold in all classes.
 The products in Class were re- combined in one division as the sub division tried in November proved impractical. Class 8 was divided into two subdivisions as it is be lieved eXpedient to sell milk manu- factured into condensed and evapor- ated milk at lower figure than in the past few months in order to meet the competition of the cheaper wes- tern milk and so keep the business i1 this territory, and provide an Outlet for large quantities of League. pilI which otherwise go into butter and cheese. While there is a depression ie he evaporated and condensed milk '>---;r~~s ?+ tho pree ecrt time it is felt that the business is sure to come back; the demand return to normal For this reason it is the League policy to keep the condensaries in this territory open.

VALLEY TOWNS ESCAPE.
 SEVERE ICE STORM Telephone and Power Line Poles Down, Causing
 Much Damage

What is said to be the most severe ice wind and rain storm in twenty five years visited this part of the country Monday. This town and Lakeville seem to have escaped the brunt of it, due undoubtedly to the fact that they are located in the valley.
 Between Norfolk and Winsred, fifty-one poles holding wires of the Connecticut Power Co.,, were down, while the Southern New England Telephone Co.,, suffered similar dam age Winsted and Torrington were practically isolated for two days, so far as wire communication was con- cerned Tn this town and Lakeville, but little damage was done, except to the wires on Canaan Mountain. Litchfeld was also hard hit, accord ing to reports from that place. Be tween Torrington and Goshen, 100 poles were reported down.
 Many who motored between Nor folk and Winsted, had holes torn in the tops of their cars by the falling ice and limbs from trees. Traveling was exceedingly dangerous in many respects and only those who were ignorant of conditions or were forced to travel, made any attempt to go far in autos.
 The high tension power lines be- tween Falls Village and Torrington, were all reported down, requiring considerable time to repair the dart- age. Men from the Conn. Power Go. have been working night and day in an effort to restore service.
 From various points in New Eng land, come reports of havoc wrought ov zee and snow. In northern New l'nnland snowfalls measuring 15 inches have been reported, Train service has been only slightly im- paired, while telephone and telegraph communication damage That will run into thousands. No loss of life, J Q to t2e storm, has been reporteI from this county.

ALBERT P. BRIGGS WAS
 ALIFE-LONG RESIDENT
Had Served Town in Various Capacities for
 Years

Albert P. Briggs passed away at his home on Church street, Friday, November 18th at the age of 79 years. Mr. Briggs was born in the village of Canaan on August 17th, 1842 and received his education in the public and private schools of the town, completing it with a course at Eastman's Business College in Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
 Mr. Briggs was undoubtedly one of the best known men in town, hav- ing been in business here for many years until failing health caused him to retire a few years ago. He has always held the respect of the towns people and being a genial, big hearted man, in a quiet way assisted many during their hour of need. He was ever ready to extend a helping hand and was one of that fraternity who believe that as we pass this way but once, let us do all the good we can.
 Practically all of the more impor- tant town offices were held by MT. Briggs at some time. He was re- elected to some for several terms. From 1867 to 1886 he was represen- tative from this town in the legisia- ture, being the first biennial member of that body.
 In August 1862, MT. Briggs res bonded to his country's call to arms, enlisting in Company F., Second Connecticut Heavy Artillery and was discharged on account of poor health. He was a member of David s. Cowles Post, G. A. R. and served as it's commander for seven years.
 Besides his wife, MT. Briggs is survived by two sisters, Mrs. E. s. Roberts and Miss Minnie Briggs of East Canaan, and a brother, c. II. Briggs.
 The funeral services were held from his late home on Sunday after noon, Rev. F. H. Neal and Rev. A. k. Skinner officiating. The Ameri:an Legion laid the body to rest in the family plot in the East Canaan cemetery.
