Durfee, Charles May nard. The last three named were candi- dates. After the work all attended the | reception at the Wauregan house. Chief of Police John NcDermott re- ceived Saturday the first bulletin in refer | ence to the No-Accident Campaign with the request that tho motor vehicle drivers 1 of Jewett City do their part. The bulletin is not q request that arrests be made, ex- I cept in so far as the officer shall find it necessary to enforce the law.
 In a critical consideration of the subject | of speed approaching intersections, the | general rule ought to be that approach must be made at such a reasonable rate of speed that the operator of the car may have his car in control to nee any emerg- ency which may arise at the intersection
 One type of vehicle which it is reported ! to this department as transgressing the rules of speed at intersections is the small ] truck or delivery wagon such as in run by | business houses for deliveries. This par 1 ticular form of vehicle is complained 1 against more often than any other form of commercial motor vehicle. Special ef- l forts might be made to warn the drivers of such vehicles and to inform the mer- l chants who use them that they will be restricted and held to the rule. Such ye- l hicles require more accurate regulation of a reasonable rate of speed than high grade touring cars of finer mechanism be- cause the braking system is not intended to stop a high rate of speed within a short distance.
 The professional driver possessed Of great driving sklll must be carefully reg ulated in his attempts to cut in and out of traffic and make time. Such 3. driver is ] skillfGl enough so that he does not get into accidents himself but is apt, by his un- expected driving performances to put oth- CT drivers who are not so s5illful, into sit nations where accidents occur.
 Local bird observers are taking of their hats to Rev. w. E. Reynolds of Lisbon for to him has been accorded the special pleasure and distinction of noting num- Der of rare birds not often observed on this side of the Quinebaug.
 Early in the season he saw a titlark, known as the American p52it. Once seen, he says, there is little difficulty in recog- nizing these graceful walkers as they run on before you, or with constantly wagging tail await your approach It is interest ing to note the wide range accredited to this bird when it is seen in the current number of the National Geographic that Sir Ernest Shaekleton found the titlark to be the sole land bird resident on South Georgia island. away down on The thres- hold of the Antarctic. Two weeks ago Mir. Reynolds reported the blue gres- beak. one of the handsomeSt- of the gros- beak family, that visits this seotion but sparingIy, while the beautiful rose breasted gresbeak is fairly common. Mos. notable among the strange visit OTIS to these latitude was the white heron. known as the snowy egret which MT. Key hold saw. The great blue heron is com mon in the upper reaches of the Aspinook. Bennett's cove. The white herons beauty has numbered the days of this most dainty and graceful bird. The delicate atgrettes which it dons as its nuptial dress are it's death warrant. What q stray one was doing near a Lisbon meadow brook one quiet Sunday morn ing, is more than can be guessed. After a visit to the Quinebalg for a day the handsome visitor disaTi2eared others may have seen him, but there was no report of the unusual circumstances excetpt by MT. Reynolds, whose careful study of birds for 8 lifetime has stamped his observa- tions with the seal of certainty.
