DANIELsoN


 George Faulk Kies. son of MT. and Mrs. Waiter D. Kies, died Tuesday morning at 1.30 at his parents home onl Broad street. The young mans death Is an unusually pathetic occurrence and comes as a shock to this community, where he had lived all of his life. He was critically i'll only few days and the seriousness of his condition was not realized outside the family circle and by q few neighbors and friends.
 When the service battery of the 1s2dl Field artillery. in which he was enlisted as a mechanic, went south July 1. MT. Kies was one of those who made the trip to Camp Eustis. The excessive heat and peculiarly favored water at the camp did not agree with him and he was allowed to return here. Even after he returned to Danielson he did not appear seriously i'll, though he i'm mediately went under a physician's care. Last week he became suddenly worse and by Saturday his condition was re- garded as extremely critical. practically all hope of his recovery being abandoned after Sunday. His death, nevertheless, came as a distressing happening, his youth accentuating the loss that Is felt by the public in general.
 The flag on the state armory here was at half-mast Tuesday as a mark of re- spect to Mir Kies, whose funeral ser vices will be attended by members of the service battery.
 A number of years ago Mir. Kies suf- fered a serious attack of illness and at the time his recovery was despaired of though he rallied and eventually be- came. apparently, as well as the ave rage person and was steadily engaged either with the Larkin Reed company with which firm he was associated at the time of his death. or as an automo- bile mechanic at local garages.
 Mir Kies was born in this town, Dec. IS. 1898. son of Walter B. and Susan RoswelD Kies. and had always lived here. He leaves his parents and a sis ter. Mss Selma Kies. He was a mem ber of Mor.ah lodge, A. P. and A. M. and Orient lodge. K of P. and of the Service Battery, 1s2d field artillery.
 Two projects in which the public is interested are to be undertaken-the construction of the public comfort sta tions at the town hall property and the rebuilding of the foctbridge over the Assawaga river. near the state armory property. Appropriations. for both have been made available at town meetings.
 The bridge project has been held up by the high water in the river, due to the excessive rains of May and June. months that brought record fall of water for corresponding periods of the year. Work on the piers cannot be suc- cessfully undertaken while the river re- mains at it's present level. but the stream is now receding and advantage will be taken of the first opportunity to get at the job, First Selectman John A. Gilbert said Tuesday. If the river does not get down to a level low enough to permit of work being undertaken soon i've A. k- Gl.. bridge go 1t can be used by pedestrians.
 It is expected that work will begin within a few days on the construction of the comfort stations. These are to be built across the driveway at the Boutherly side of the town han building next to the Dexter block the driveway being closed by the construction work
 Work is continuing on the state aid Highway being built on the town farm load, so-ca1led, leading southward from Attawaugan to Dayville Four Corners Grading has advanced at the present lime to point opposite the town farm property.
 It Is a matter of interest now. as th, hown approaches the end of it's fnancia year, the end coming July s1, that ther, Is a prospect of Killingiy again showins a reduction of it's indebtedness, as u-a, the case last year. With the prospeci of escaping both a state and county tax during the coming financial year. it may be possible to further reducs tho tax rate.
 Collectors representing the stxikers oi the Aidrich Misunderstanding corpanv at Moosup are making regular weekly wis nations to Danielson to obtain contribu tions to aid them in winning the strike Aside from the fact that objection |, fn fnatr sell property of other companies, their worl here Is being done without protest from any one. It is of interest, however, tt note that they are seeking help of work CTS who have stood a. 22 1-2 per cent cut. over and above what tho MoosrI strikers have had to stand and ar, working five hours more each week tha, he Moosup strikers. who represent thei chief grievance to be working condition and a desire for recognition of thei union.
 At Moosup Tuesday, the strike situa. don remianed deadlocked. The mil company did not make expected gain, h the number of returned employees a york. Manifestly. 1t Is going to be un profitable to attempt operation of tn pig plant with less than skeleton fore of help, and this fact has brought th strike situation to it's first real clirnaz
 It was stated Tuesday afternoon tha the mill company will give the employe. one more chance to return to work mex Monday morning. If they refuse to ac cept the chance, the mill doors will b locked and months or even a year ma, elapse before they are opened for work CTS again. This is the ultimatun Q the company, which under no circum stances will recognize a union.
 This ultimatum has startled Moosu and caused Rev. Joseph E.. McCarth, pastor of All Hallows' church and emis sary between the strikers and the mi company officials for the past thre
