After Ten Years
BY MARION RUBlNcAM
PATTY TO THE RESCUE
Chapter SO.

In the end it was Patty who took
charge of things. Somehow, it is often
that way. Millie, the older woman.
whose straight dark hair and not very
attractive dark eyes gave her seri-
Gus appearance, was really the shall
low and incompetent one Mrs Parke,
for all her sharp and shrewd express
ion, had no business judgement and
before this catastrophe was perfectly
helpless.
But Patty, of the type usually con-
sidered frivolous because of her fluffy,
waving gold hair and her large blue
eyes, sat down at the little living room
table, found a blank piece of paper,
took a pencil from Humphreys vest
pocket while he was helplessly look
ing around for something to write
with"-and it was Patty who worked
out their financial position.
How much has gomez" she asked,
pencil poised above the paper, calm
and suddenly competent
"Everything!" Humphrey said. He
had been repeating this all evening.
"But-that's so vague" Patty pro-
tested gently. DO you know in actual
figures? What did you put into the
investment"
"All my money, that's what he did,
/ Mrs. Parke found an opportunity to
| say viciously. 81 gave it to him to
/ invest in something safe, not to gam
| BILE with"
do you think I deliberately took
chance-do you think | wanted to
! lose it? Didn't l put in all my money
too?" Humphrey cried, driven to
rudeness and desperation, as he al
ways was by nagging.
Its those cheap magazine storiesi
Mrs. Parke cried, fearful but trium
plant, having found at last the excuse
and the reason for the safe and sane
Humphreys financial alteration
They're full of stories about poo1
men gambling and making huge for
tunes, that's what they are. They re
corrupting influence."
She pulled her shawl more tightly
around her narrow shoulders, as she
always did when she was sure she had
delivered an unanswerable argument,
Some people-most people = expand
| when triumphant. Mrs. Parke con
| tracted.
Humphrey could only give forth 4
wordless answer that sounded like 8
snort.
"You womeni" he managed at last
what do you know about business
Doesn't seem to me that you know
such a lot YOURSELF" And Mrs. Parke
strained the silk shawl still mors
I tightly around her shoulders.
PROFESSIONALLY she was the victor
in this verbal war. In such domes
tic exchange of dagger thrusts, tht
most ruthless always wins. Mrs
Parke spared no one.
All this went on to double accom-
panimentN- an occasional sob from
Mile, who saw the end of everything
with the spreading of the news in th'
town, who saw that dresses woult

OLDEST LIBRARY IN COUNTY,
Douglas Library of This Town
 1o1 Years old

Douglas Library of this town is the oldest in Litchfeld County, accord ing to statistics compiled by the Connecticut Library Committee. The library was established 101 years ago, ,fgsc ls..
 From a letter in the News of Feb ruary 3, 1921, we glean the facts that the present library, containing about 4,500 volumes, received its start in 1921 with few books and $500, the gift of William Douglas of this town. In 1858 when the town was divided, it's location was changed from the so-called Lower Corner, near the va cation house to the south end of the town hall. ...
 The present library building was the gift of Edmund Lawrence to the town in 1882. Now that it has out grown both bailding and location, it is hoped site may be selected and a suitable and permanent building erected thereon, in the near future.

CASE OF SMALLPOX
 REPORTED IN NORFOLK
Morris Butcher Contract.
 Mild Case of the A.s- Disease

The Department of Health, Dr. John T. Black, commissioner, stated Monday that Morris Butcher, 8, of Norfolk is suffering from smallpox n a mild form at the home of his par ents, MT. and Mrs. Mulford Butcher, on North street. The family has been quarantined with the exception eofga son, Mulford Butcher, who has been in Winsted for the past week or longer. a-...e..#
 The source of contraction is not known. The patient told the authori- ties he had visited Winsted but no other places lately. He is said to have attended a basketball game in Winsted about, 10 days ago,
 Medical Examiner I. l.. Haniart ot Norfolk, said that. MT. Butcher had been aiIing for three or four weeks, that the eruption started about a week ago, but MT. Butcher did not have medical advice until Saturday. Dr. I. L. Hamant became suspicious of the case and notified Dr. Osborn of the state department of health. pr. John T.. Black, came out from Hartford Sunday and diagnosed the case as smallpox. The Butcher residence was immediately quarany tined. -

REV. F. H. NEAL IS CALL b.
 ED TO HOBART CHURCH
Rev. A. H. Morgan of New
 York Is New Pastor .

At the Methodist conference held the. past week in New York, Rev. F.. H. Neal was transferred to the Methodist Episcopal church in Ho- bart, N. Y. This action by the con- ference board is regretted by the congregation of the local church and many others who have come to know and respect MT. Neal for his many fine qualities, as a preacher and as a man.
 Mr. Neal was ordained in 1918 and came to Canaan three years ago from, the North Germantown, N. Y., church. He was pastor of the Methodist church at Sheffield, Mass, for a time and while there made many friends in this locality. Since coming here his list of friends has been constantly growing and that he will leave is keen source of re- gret to all.
 Opportunity to do greater and better work are the principle reasons for MT. NeaPs leaving. We trust that he will find the opportunities Q man of his ability and sterling quali- ties deserves. ... k
 The new pastor, Rev. A. H. Nor gan, will begin his duties here on Sunday. He comes to Canaan from the West Side church of New York city and has been preaching for the past 27 years. He is unmarried. 1 X The News extends hearty greet ing to the new pastor and a no less hearty, though regretful farewell to MT. Neal. >&

LOCAL MILK SITUATION
Berkshire Milk Coming Here While Some Local Milk Goes to Sheffield

Farmers in this locality who have not joined the league are taking their milk to Willow brook creamery in Sheffield, Mass, while "poolersp in Egremont and Afford, Mass, are sending their milk to the Borden plant here.
 The threatened milk war between the Willow brook dealers and sfpool- ers'' started Saturday At the Will low brook station 90 cans of milk were received against the regular 220. The other 130 cans went to the "poolers" headquarters in Canaan. Two large trucks brought the milk to Canaan.

The "poolers" state that they are determined to carry the affairs to finish while the Willow brook people feel confident that they have enough patrons to keep their local plants in full opera tion.

RADIO CONCERT
To Be Given by Canaan Hose Co - - April 17th

Radiophony, the marvel of the century which promises such interest ing development in the future, is still in it's infancy. Should the promised developments fail to hap pen, it's achievement of collecting music and words from the air would still be wonderful because of the fact that it can be done at all. ~
 The Canaan Fire Company offers the opportunity for all who are in terested in this wonder invention and for those who have never had the occasion to ''Listen in", to attend a demonstration of the wireless" at their Wireless Concert and Dance Easter Monday Night at the Town Hall. The messages will be received from 7:15 until 9:30 covering wide range of territory and of a varied program.
 The committee is enthusiastic and believe that those attending will be imbued with a like enthusiasm. and wonder for this modern vehicle of sound. ....} ".

MARRIED MEN TRIUMPH OVER THE SINGLE MEN
All Stars Defeat the Sheffield
 Juniors by the Score t;EtN. of 35-31

The Canaan All Stars defeated the Sheffield Juniors in a thrilling finish Saturday night by the close score of 35-31. The locals were forced to their utmost to capture the game, coming from behind twice in the last five minutes to finally win.
 The. All Stars started off strong and acquired an early lead. Sheffield came along hard in the last moments of the first half and came to within basket of Canaan. The scoring at half time stood 16-14, in favor of the All Stars.
 The first part of the last half was hard fought, then the visitors put on speed and passed the locals. With Sheffield enjoying lead of five points, Canaan began desperate drive, baskets by Scutt and Beae5on evening the score. A basket by H. Shook sent Sheffield ahead once more but Beaujon saved the bacon for the locals by again sinking the tying shot Ed. Tripp settled matters by caging another basket and Hicks clamped on the screws by hanging up the last tallies of the game.
 The work of H. Shook and Wallace for the visitors and the scoring of Scutt and Hicks for the locals were the main features. Beaujon is due a good share of credit for his brace of baskets in the final session, which tied the score in each instance. Ed. Mcclure and Bill Tripp got off some effective passwork. .6.#
