| bers of Putnam Checker club, Friday
night, it was voted to entertain a team
from the Hartford Checker club next
| Saturday night. The Hartford club
wrote the Putnam club for a game and
| the challenge has now been accepted.

Saturday was tag day for the Sal
walton army. Local officers and mem
bers worked hard all day collecting mon
ey to swell the Putnam quota of the
fund being raised. The total has not

Six calls for the fire department. were
sent in last week, nearly all being three
bell alarms which means that it small
fire and that only members of Motor
Truck, No. 1, are wanted. In all the
six fires, probably less than a hundred
dollars damage resulted, but 1t might
have been another story had not the
motor truck arrived soon after the
alarms were sounded. When the de-
partment receives it's new hook and lad
der truck, for which the citizens voted
} a $500 appropriation the department
will be equipped to handle any kind OF
a fire. Until such time as the new lad
der truck arrives there is danger when
, fires start in second or third stories OF
, on roofs, due to lack of ladders.
