 Putnams people slid around as best they could Friday while the first real ice storm of the season was doing it's best to glaze things up and making a highly successful job of 1t. Horses fared little i better than humans in negotiating their way about the city and automobiles and electric cars also had their troubles in carrying out the transportation mis- sions assigned to them. It was tough go- ] ing for everything that attempted to move.
 Up to late afternoon the storm had not caused any real serious damage to wire ! lines and disturbance was in no way 1 comparable to the late November ice l storm of last year. Sanded walks help ed to make walking easier in some parts of the business section, but out of : these near-safety zones the pass word of the day was Watch your step"' Some who did not watch closeIy enough came in violent contact with the ground, i though no serious injuries were reported.
 Sales of Red Cross Christsnas seals will continue in Putnam right up to the 1 holiday. Those who are actively irte- rested in this campaign for funds to be used in combating tuberculosis are es- pecially anxious that as many as possible of Putnam's citizens interest themselves in making the seal sales here reach to a new high record figure for Putnam. Last i year about $200 was obtained from the sale of the seals, and 1t is hoped that 1 this will be far surpassed this year. Of the money obtained 85 per cent. will re- main here for use and will be expended under the direction of the visiting nurse, Miss Cecelia Lessard
 Health bonds also are being offered at this time to sell for $5 each. It is an- ticipated that a number of these will be disposed of in thls territory.
