 Perhaps the most interesting part apout Monday nights affair, to which every member of the Legion, Red sNross and Auxiliary is urged to be present, is the fact that J. J. FenneIl Stamford attorney. ard County chair man of the Legion will be present at the installation, and to make a short address.
 The Town Council will also meet Monday night, while the Board of Fire Commissioners will hold forth tuesday. It is unfortunate that the fire board doesn't meet previously for they will in all likelihood take some definite action towards purchasing modern fire apparatus Their action, however, will have to go before the { council, which will mean several weeks additional delay. and delays might prove disastrous.

 Ice on the wires and rails made trolley transporta difficult this morning, especially with the steel { '.Jumbos' which are said to have but was found advisable to use both trol- ley poles, the forward pole breaking the ice and the second giving suffi- cient juice to push the big cars along. The operators of double truck one-man cars have plenty to do in this sort of weather, although at the ter nlinals of the busy lines the trolley company has starters who aid in the turning back process.
 Two cases of smallpox have been reported in Stratford. When it i considered that Stratford and Bridge port are virtually one, it is remark , able that the town has been immune so long. If the epidemic continues t. gain ground in Bridgeport, with an average of six or seven new cases daily it is almost certain to gain some ground In the Stratford portion of the Bridgeport community.
 If this weather continues, instead of the promised cold wave that dis appointed us, some of the streets in the Paradise Green section will be as bad as Broad street in Bridgeport, if such a thing is possible.
