 CpmparatiYsly few people in town haze ever had, until Thursday and Friday ev- ] enfng, an opportunity to listen in on big radio set. A man in town has pur- chased one of the finest modern out fits that are sold outside of the official government machines. Earl S Hiscox and Sydney Melvin: calling into rsquisi- tion their electrical training during the var, put the set in operation at Carey S store. and 1t worked fine both evening. Everyone who passed along was invited inside and listened for the first time in their lives to the voices from afar, in cluding quartettes and solos from Spring field and Medford Hillside, and most ini.l pressive of all. to many of the listeners the heard tie BrookIyn navy yard, send ing code message to a bsttleship at sea. The aerial wires are strung frQm the top of the Rioux block to the flag pole on the town building.
 Aarvelons and daring were the Porg Fairbanks stunts pulled off by Boucher, the lofty and ground tonsorial acrobat, when. he shinned up the pole to attach the western end ef the antennae.

 1Ir. Earle, native of the great Hamp- den county potato belt in Massachusetts. makes the statement after looking over 1 the potato fields in this section that new l CT during his fifty years as a potato grower, has he seen such a rank growth of viaes. In several fields, including his own prize patch of Green Mountain, on William McNicors farm, the vines are four feet long and have fallen oyer to considerable extent. Two long strips of potatoes are to be seen on East Main steret. No growing crop could look finer They are the same named potato and were planted the same day. Yet one lot from one bag is all white with blossoms, the other has but here and there one. Experts claim that the potato does not need to blossom One man has twelve rows with as many differ ent sorts, including some from seed rais- ed in Canada, and other from potatoes raised below the Mason and Dixon line. i The following clipping from the Sun. day New York Herald Is of interest lo I cally. The fact was taken from a story in the Jewett City news in The Bulletin of June 20:
 Jewett City, in New London county Gonnecticpt, has watched with regret th, felling of an oak of which mention wa. made in a record of 1771. the year Eleas CT Jewett founded the settlement. Tn, site of this ancient oak was included il the land tp' be covered by 3 new building
