Norwich bulletin., 1922-07-05

it's readers accurately Thursday morn ing how the workers have responded.
 It is to the credit of the strikers at Moosup that only peaceful means of gaining their ends have been employed. The strike is orderly as any one could wish and 8 stranger passing through the town would not be apt to note that there was any labor trouble other than the fact that unusually large numbers of idle people may be seen about the streets
 When the gates are opened this morn ing there will be ample police protection for all who may desire to return to thelr occupations No difficulties are expect ed, however.
 It again demonstrated this year that there Is no longer a night before the Fourth-not as the old-timers knew it. The sun still sets, of course. on the evening ofeSuly and darkness comes eventually, but midnight does not bring with it the turnultuous welcome that marked the coming of Independence days of old
 One might imagine in Danielson this year that the Boston folks lad oived into the harbor. rescued the tea they had thrown overheard, restored it to it's owners and apologized t6 the king for being naughty. adding request to be reannexed to the British empire.
 At one o'clock on the morning of the Fourth the officers on duty here were as lonesome as could be. The streets were as silent as tomb. The cracking of Railroad torpedoes under the wheels of speeding Bar Harbor expresses furnished the only noise reminiscent of the cid days Danielson had gone to bed A safe and sane and thoroughly silent Fourth of July celebration Was under way and those who would applaud the coming of the great holiday were careful to put on their fur-lined mittens before clapping their hands, for it would never do to be rough about it. you know. It may not be necessary to stage a battle in order to properly celebrata the Fourth but all through the early days of the republic and until very recent years patriots, ancient and modern. wei comed the Fourth with the discharge Of 1 firearms and booming cannon-marking the anniversaries of freedoms birth. Someone must have told Young America of today that the custom isn't stylish any more, for Young America goes to bed and now shows no more interest ;n the arrival of the holiday than in the coming of March 4th, which some may think is a command, or any other day l in the year.
 At any rate there was nothing to 1 disturb the peaceful rest of Danielsor i people on the Fourth until long after i daylight, and not too much then in many sectiens of the borough, which had g more or less denatured observance oi I the holiday
 Will the opening of the new state l highway between Danielson and Provi, < deiace bling back the stage coach? l 1 strange question in these modern days but not at all beyond the possibilities. l The old Hartford Pike, as this high way route has been known for more thar a century, was one of the main arterie, of travel long befsre a railroad line wa. built in this section Of New England. was the favorite route for travellers go ing across this section of southern Nev England. Lines of stage coaches oper ated over it regularly, carrying passen gers and mails, and the route was dotte, with taverns and adjoining stables wher 'the horses were changed
 These days are gone forever, but tn stage coach likely will come back, nc tn it's original form. but as thoroughl modern and motorized vehicle affordin speedN comfortable and cheap transpor tation through a country where there no railroad. Instead of six horses. tn modern stage coach will have 5o-hcrs power motor to prope1 1t.
 These modern stage coaches have mad their appearance in California, wher 1900 of them are operating on reguis schedules on the highways of that stat They cover territory not served by raj roads or trolley lines and even go C ! long distance trips. Tn Florida the deve
 oprnent of this new stage-coach busjne. Is as rapid as in California. So, too. F oP other eo11fhar1 an5 v1aSfAr
 states. Every new highway has a m
 tor stage route as soon as the road opened.
 The stage coach of memory and trad ton has given place to a successor sue } as the travellers of a hundred years az never conceived. They sesm t, be Il
 Ideal veSicle for such route as the ol
 to Providence, and they make their al
 pearance in this territory in the not di
 tant future.
