TWISTED TRIANGLES DE- FEAT EVERGREEN FIVE To Play the Torrington Rose Buds this Saturday
 Night

The Winsted Triangles defeated the Evergreen A. c. in a fast game in Town Hall Saturday night by a score of 57-45. The Triangles are by far the classiest and best-balanced five that have played in Canaan this season. They quickly secured twelve point lead on the locals, which the Evergreens were unable to overcome.
 Dayton and Hayward starred for the visitors, amassing thirty-six points between them. Davis and Smith secured five and four baskets respectively. Clark's guard-work, es- pecially in the last half, was all that could be asked for. s.
 Baldwin shone for the locals, con- tinuing his scoring streak, and made twelve field shots. O'Neil made a half-dozen floor goals and three from the foul-line. Biass played a steady game in the pivot position and sank two baskets. Bees showed to better advantage at forward than at guard and made some neat passes for the locals. Keenan guarded as we'll as usual, holding Davis to five shots. Proper's superior guard-work in the final session had a great deal to do with keeping the game close. He was especially good at breaking up the opponents passing. >#
 Scoring in the last half was prac- tically a duel between Baldwin and Hayward, both in center, with Baldwin bearing off the honors, with ten baskets to Hayward's seven.
 The score.

ALL-NIGHT LIGHTING
 TO BE DISCONTINUED Fire District Also Votes to Adopt Sidewalk Rec
 concentrations

The annual meeting of the Canaan Fire District was held at the town hall on Saturday afternoon. There Iw was good attendance and much in- terest was manifest in what action the voters would take in regard to the all-night lighting of the streets and also the sidewalk situation. The first business, after the cleo ton of temporary chairman on the absence of the warden and the read ing of the minutes of the previous meeting, was the introduction of a resolution by J. B. Reed. This reso- luti0n called for the expenditure of $500 on the sidewalks of the district, various sums being apportioned to the various streets. The report of the sidewalk comimttee was then read as it appeared in last weeks News. No action was taken until later.
 The election of officers resulted in Frank A. Whiting being chosen warden; John S. Reed, clerk, treas urer and collector; H. A. Holt, audi tor. The executive committee is composed of J. L. Parsons, Allyn Fuller, Frank N. Glass, Charles Laffargue and W. N. Decker. The Board of Relief is the same as last year: H. E. Lyles, J. B. Reed and F. F. Stevens.
 A motion was then made by Clarence Humphrey that due to the necessity of either increasing the tax rate or cutting expenditures, that the all-night lighting of the streets be discontinued. It was so voted. An attempt by J. c. Roraback to amend the motion so that the lighting at night would be continued until. 2 a. m., failed, as the Power Company would not do this. Therefore the town goes back to the days of the lantern after midnight.
 It was also voted that three mill tax be laid for the coming year. -
 George S. Fuller moved that an investigation be made to ascertain the cost of extending the sewer to Prospect street and report at an ad- journed meeting. Carried.
 Allyn Fuller moved that a direct assessment be laid against each sewer user to raise $500 for a sink ing fund. Several spoke at .a some length on this motion and finally C.. s. Fuller offered an amendment whereby all money so raised should be used to retire the bonds of in debtedness of the district, as fast as S1,OOO was obtained. A motion to postpone consideration by J. c. Rora- back was carried and the matter was laid on the table until the next annual meeting.
 J. B. Reed then made a motion that his recommendation, previously read, be adopted. The discussion on this motion went to such length that about half of those present grew tired of it and left the hall. The motion was finally defeated. A mo- ticn was then made that the Fire Dis trict accept and adopt the report of the sidewalk committee. It was so voted and the meeting adjourned.

PLAN TO BUILD A k THEATRE-DANCE HALL
Seth H. Moseley and H. E. Blanchard Agree to Buy
 Brewer Property

Arrangements have practically been completed, it is said, for the taking over of the Fitzgerald proper ty. so called, on Railroad street owned by Brewer Brothers, by Seth H. Moseley and H. E. Blanchard ot Norfolk. The buildings standing on the property will be razed and new freproof building erected which will be used for a dance hall and moving pictures.
 The property in question adJolns the Badgley block and has a frontage of about sixty feet and is 168 feet deep. It has been occupied by Miss Elsie Deuse, who ., conducted a tea room, while the dwelling is occupied by Lee Wickwire. The tenants have received notice to vacate by April 1st, after which date construction of the new building will be started.
 What form the new buildings will take has not been decided upon as yet, but it is understood that two plans are being considered, both of which provide for freproof construc- tion. Both plans call for one or more stores on the ground floor, while pos sible the dance hall will be placed on a second floor. The moving picture will be held in the rear of the build ing.
 Regardless of what form the new building takes, it is understood that it's appearance will be both attractive and practical. The theater will be so arranged as to accommodate 500 persons. It's effect on adjacent prop erty values will be beneficial.

 Colebrook 61; Evergreens 34
 Colebrook, considerably bolstered by the addition of two Winsted play CTS, trimmed the Evergreens 61-34 at Colebrook Monday evening.
 Densloe led in scoring for the evening, sinking twelve field baskets. Doty caged eight floor shots and Lovetri, of the Garibaldis, netted seven. Smith, of the Winsted ,Tri- angles, was held by Keenan to three baskets. However, his dribbling and pass-work was an important factor in Colebrook's scoring.
 Baldwin continued his point-mak- ing, gathering in twenty points. Bees had some tough luck on the baskets, but his passing made up for this handicap. Blass and Smith put up good floor game, but were likewise unfortunate on the hoops. Never theless, Blass netted two neat ones. Keenan swished the net once, from the center Of the hall, a. beautiful shot. His guarding was up to his usual standard.
 Baldwin has now scored sixty eight points in his last four games.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONCERT AT NORFOLK Musical Event One of Finest of Kind in Towns
 History

The Congregational Church, at Norfolk, beautifully decorated for the occasion and with the bust of the martyred President Lincoln on the pulpit desk, was filled to capacity Sat urday afternoon by music lovers of Norfolk and vicinity to hear one of the best concerts yet given there, where the finest soloists and musi- clans of the country have appeared. This musical event, the twenty-second annual Lincoln memorial concert giv- en through the generosity of Mrs. H. H. Bridgman presented by the Elshu- co Trio, was greatly anticipated and eagerly looked forward to for months.
 Beginning promptly at o'clock, the newly organized Elshuco Trio, composed of Elias Breeskin, Rus sian violinist, and pupil of Kneisel ; Killem Willeke, violoncello, a native of Holland, for twelve years with the famous Kneisel quartet; Aurelia Giorni, an Italian, who was a pupil of Busoni, who carried off the high est honors of Rome, presided at the piano and were ably assisted by Tom Burke, young Irish tenor, who first came into prominence in 1919, when he made his English debut at Covent Garden at the opening of the opera season for the first time after the close of the world war.
 Tom Burke excels not in voice alone but by marked qualifications of personality, musicianship and artistry which show in each rendition. It has been claimed that Burke is the greatest English speaking tenor of our generation and all who heard him agree. Each number was seem ingly better than the one before. The playing of the trio was given highest praise. It would be difficult to find three more excellent artists and in the few seasons in which they have worked together they have taken a most prominent place in the music of our country. The program rendered was as follows:- Trio, C.. Minor, 0p. 1O1. Brahms Allegro energico
