PINE BLISTER RUST
Two Crew. of Is Men Each are
 Searching for It in This Vicinity

SPine Blister Rust, disease to the white pine similar to, the effect or chestnut blight has been discovered in many places in this vicinity and men from the State Agricultural College are seeking to exterminate it. There is very little of the rust'1n the immediate vicinity but around Cornwall Plain considerable has been found.
 This disease is caused by an infec- tion on currant and goose berry bushes, which is carried by the wind to the pine trees. The only manner in which this valuable timber can be protected against the disease IS to pull up all currant, wild or cult1- yated, and goose berry bushes within a radius of 900, feet of where the pine is growing. 7 .
 It is simple method to rid pine of the blister rust, but drastic action is necessary or this state may be visited by such another scourge as the chestnut blight, Pines under 20 years old are especially in need of attention.

 MEMORIAL DAY,
Public Service to be Held at Town Hall on
 Sunday

Plans are under way for a fitting tribute to the surviving members o1 the Grand Army of the Republic tc take the form of suitable public service heldNin the Town Hall, not or Memorial Day as has been the custom heretofore, but on Sunday afternoon May 18th at B o'clock. All the churches of North Canaan will CO., operate to make this service a signi- ficant one.
 The program will include an ad- dress by Hon. Malcolm Rudd of Lakeville, and special musical num- bers by the Canaan Choral Society. It is expected that double male quartette will also render songs familiar in the Civil War period. The memory of the present gen. eration does not reach back to those troublous days of '61 when the Grand Army of the Republic pre- served for us the integrity of an America of which we are now proud, and inevitably Memorial Day which commentaries their achievement hos come to be regarded more and more as a care free holiday. When you have planned to spend that day out of doors in, the woods and fields or per chance at a convenient ball game, you have meant no disrespect to these boys of '61, but your place at that Memorial Day service has been represented by an>~ empty bench. This year however, the case is diff ,erent. A concession has been made that you may enjoy your holiday on May 30th, but on Sunday afternoon, May 18th, if you have any pride in American institutions, any sense of obligation as citizen and are not kept away for good and sufficient reasons, your place is among those who gather to pay grateful tribute to the. Boys in Blue, while yet they are in our midst. x ,..5s

Took Cash Out of Bank and His
 Shack Burns Up

When the forest fire swept over the Sharon Mountains recently, Charles Lundy's hermit shack was totally destroyed and, while Lundy mourns the loss of his domicile, he feels more keenly the loss of $1,000 in cash and Liberty bonds valued at $150, all of which1went up in smoke.
 The money and bonds were in the attic part of the shack, having been buried a year or more in the ground, until recently. Lundy's fortune had been kept in the Falls Village bank and a neighbor who had some litiga- tion with Lundy had Deputy Sheriff Hornbeck attach a sum to cover the claim. Lundy went to the bank after the papers were served on him and withdrew the balance and then Haunted the remainder of his fortune in Horhbeck's face.
 "There, you didn't get that" shouted Lundy and he waved his massive roll.
 Going home Lundy decided to bury his fortune for safe keeping. He obtained an old preserve jar and squeezed the bills and bonds into it. By the light of the moon he planted the jar and few weeks ago he de- cided he would like to look at his wealth. He dug it up. Real filthy lucre" greeted his gaze. The for tune was blue molded and damp, so he spread it out on a sheet, which he placed in the attic, to dry out.
 Then the fire came in his Absence and the cottage and his fortune were destroyed. The forest fire burned over an area of six square miles.

NEXT SATURDAY WILL,

Disused Clothing Wanted for
 Sufferers in the Near East

Next Saturday everyone here will have an opportunity to decide wheth- CT it is to be "Moth Balls or Mercy" On that-day old and ,castoff clothing will be collected for the refugees in the Near East. It matters not what the garment is, just so long as it can be worn during the cold days of-the coming winter. Anything that can be worn will be taken by the collec- tors of the Near East for shipment to the destitute of Armenia.
 The major portion of the people of the Near East depend upon Ameri- ca's old clothes bag for their every garment In that country the looms are still; seven years of warfare have prevented the production of cotton and wool and there is no raw material for the manufacture of cloth. The entire population is in rags and tatters.
 In every home there is a clothes tree or closet containing at least one garment for which there is no fur ther need, and which, in all probabili- ties, never will be worn again. There the old coat or discarded suit hangs, providing only fodder for the moths. .. Nothing is asked to which the ir1= dividual might attach any value. Next Saturday the men and women who will devote their time to the Bundle Day campaign will expect to find waiting for them only clothing needed by the. people here no longer, but absolutely Imperative to the people of the Near East.
 Thinly clad Armenian children and adults have appealed to every one in Connecticut to pr1ne the clothes tree and send the prunings to the Near East Relief on Bundle Day. It's Moth Balls or Mercy"
 There will De a committee of young ladies to receive the bundles from 8 to 12 a. m. The boys of our village are volunteering to assist in collecting the bundles. When abso 1utely necessary, telephone your nearest boy or notify some member of the committee.
