NAIL DELIVERY.

Our mail carriers out of this city
had the experience of their lives in
serving the patrons on the rural
routes, during the blizzard. They
could not follow the road so they used
fields instead. Nearly all patrons were
served. but some places it was an i'm
possibility The mail carriers are not
supposed to deliver mail if the snow IS
piled around your mail box so he has
to get out of his vehicle and walk to
the box.

La Forge Quartet Gave Musical At
 Afternoon Club

Although music lovers of Bridge
 port were at first bit disappointed when the announcement was made that Miss Evelyn Scotney and Edward kankow assisted by Miss Delphine
 March and Paul Ryman, were unable to appear in the last concert of the
 season. this feeling entirely dlsap-
 peared during the rendition of a sim
 liar program given yesterday after noon Tn the ballroom of the Stratfield
 hotel by the LaForGe Quartet, com
 posed of Miss Charlotte Ryan, so- Sheffield Child. tenor; and Charles Carver, basSo. The cOncert was the most successful and enjoyable given ! by out-of-town talent, with the excep- ton of the one presented early in the season by Paul Althouse.
 Miss Ryan was the assisting soloist
 High school by the Masonic choir of i Waterbury and was heartily greeted i when she appeared with the other members of the quartet in the first
 number on the program, a selection from "1n a Persian Garden by Leh- l mann.
 A series of powerful crescendos and soft diminuendoes distinguished Shef- field Child's voice from the monoto- nous monotones of most tenors. Lightly he rendered an Air From with a happy spirit he sang Some Body Loves Me- by Cox. As an en-
 core for the final song in the first l group, ''Trista Ritorno," by Barthel- 1 enly, he sang The Is No Death by | Jeffrey O'Hara.
 1 A depth of feeling and a display of ! good taste made '.Ah Mon Fills" from '1e Prophete,'' sung by Miss Jago, es- | pecfally appealing. In response to in- l cessant applause she gave 'Lungidal Caro- Bene,'' by Secchi.
 The next number on the delightful program was the trio from Faust" by Miss Ryan, Mir. Child and MT Car
 yer This rendition was the best given by the ensemble with the excep- | ton of 'Quartette from Rigoletto," in which Miss Jago also appeared Charles Carves >is a wonderful bar l ftone and was very well received by a :, critical audience. It was delighted especially with his Mexican Folk l Song" arr. by La Forege: and |'Duna'' by Josephine McGin. ''Maidens Are Lake the Wind was a very gay num- for which ''Des Pas Sabot," by Lap was given as an encore.
 BrIMdant and 1orid passages dis played the irnpeccability of information ] Window '"The Sandman" and .'The , Warning Is Good'' were included in | her group of songs but the audience wished to hear more of this voice of ! The finest texture, and so appropri- ateiy sang charming spring song, "An Open Secret" by Woodman In ! this piece her sustained tones in creased in volume and beauty, with duration.
 Several selections by the quartet ! closed the admirable program The program committee of the Wednesday Afuernoon Musical club is to be conn phmented on the splendid selections !; of artists 1t made for this years re- , cita1s and it is hoped that programs of similar excellence may be arranged for next season.

Mems Committee
 Did Great Work For United Church

During the past five years. the United church has added to its mem bership about a thousand persons. This wonderful growth has been due fn a large extent to the work of the Mems Membership committee. led since its organization three years ago by l.. T. Warner as chairman.

Many Contributions
 For Postal Week

Post office officials are sending daily contributions and suggestions for the improvement of the postal service to the Postal Bulletin to be used during Postal Improvement Week. Under the direction of Dr. Hubert Work, postmaster general. plans Tor the cam paign which will be held during the first week in May are rapidly going forward.
 First Assistant Postmaster General John H. Bartlett has addressed ten commandments to the postmasters or the country, pointing out to them ways in which they can improve the service.
 Third Assistant Postmaster General w. Irving Glover in his article in the Bulletin said, We must avail ourselves of every opportunity to acquaint the public with postal facilities and to spare no effort to improve ourselves in the performance of our duties
 In an article on the Rural SerVlce, Harry H. Billing, fourth assistant postmaster general tells how rural patrons can aid the service. Rural postal patrons can assist in the qulck- CT dispatch of mail by seeing that roads in their vicinity are in Sood condition. They should, in the win ter time, see that their roads are open and made passable for rural mali men. Another great aid in speeding uD rural service is to have the ap- breaches to mail boxes clear Frompt- ness and willingness to correct 1rreg- ularities affecting boxes aids m addlng efficiency to the department states MT. Billing
 Rural patrons ought to be sure that all their mail is properly stamped ana they should never leave their mall Tn their boxes unstamped or without su1- ficient postage

connections it was difficult TO throw
the streams of water high enough
to Sulduc the flames which famed
by 4 stiff breeze made rapid head
