POSSIBLY wEEDEN's BODY
Skeleton Found in Danielson Woods May be That of Escaped Lunatie

It is believed that 1t is possible that the skeleton found last Sunday after noon in the pasture behind the Day vile cemetery may be that of Frank Weeden. the lunatic who escaped from the Rhode Island hospital for the in- sane last July. The skeleton was examined by Coroner Arthur G. Bill. medical examiner George M. Burroughs and Deputy Sheriff Chari- es E. Aver. Dr. Burroughs said that the skeleton was that of man about fifty years old and might have been exposed to the weather for as lont; as a year. There was no trace of any clothing and no marks whleh would indicate violence.
 Some of the bones of the hands and feet and some of the other small bones could not be found. The skeiSston was found in a secluded spot, well hidden by bushes.
 None of the graves in the nearby cemetery have been opened, examina- ton showed. The authorities have no report of anyone being missing m the locality during the last gear eN- eept Weeden. who was last seen near the home of F. c. Shauffler on the East Killngly- Ballouyille road, not far from where the skeleton was found
 The skeleton was buried in Potter's 's Field at the killingly Town Falm.

BENoIT SUCCEEDS mIRoN
One Putnam Man Follows Another
 in U. s. Senate Position

Henry NJ. Benoit of Putnam was this week appointed to succeed Att torney Irving H. Miron as bill clerk of the United States Senate. Att torney Miron has returned to Putnam from Washington where he went to attend the opening of the sixty-eighth Congress and to tender his resigna- ton to the position which he has held for several years. Mir. Miron will in the future devote himself to the prae- tice of law in Putnam.
 Mr. Benoit has been Washington for several years holding various state and post office appointments while he pursued the study of law at George Washington University. Dur ing the war Mr. Benoit was official interpreter for the State Department at the American Legation at The Hague. Before going to Washington Mir. Benoit served here as letter carrier and was one of the first to serve after the carrier system was in- stituted. His salary in Washington will be in excess of $2,s00 annually.

TELL PUBLIC HOW
 TO CALL POLICEMAN
Brand New Uptown Station Ushers In New Signal
 System

Now that the police booth on thu square is in working order, perhaps there should be a few words to the public on how to get a policeman
 The system used before the booth was erected. says Capt. Jarvis, was for a person desiring to speak to a policeman to call l6, the central police station. 1T no officer was at the sta tion the telephone operator would. if asked. switch on the red lights, which are placed at three corners in the city, one at Main and Pomfret streets. aH- other at Main and Bridge streets, and the third at Church and Providence streets. In this manner a policeman would be called.
 With the phone booth near the bank in operation, however. one in seeking an officer should call l6=2. the police station at the municipal building, and f there is no response. call 16-3, the number of the new booth. The booth has an outside gong and the ring can be heard for some distance. Conse- quently if there is policeman any where on the square, he can hear the ring. If both of these calls do not result in the securing of a policeman, central may be asked to switch on the red lights.
 The red lights. however. ought to be used only as last resort. because though they are turned on easily at the telephone office. to shut them of it is necessary for a policeman to visit each of the three places and do 1t by hand

 Serve Chicken Supper
 On Friday evening the ladies of Eastford captained by the library committee. gave one of the justly fla nous Eastferd chicken suppers. This supper was. in the opinion of those who attended the best that has been given here for some time. Chicken pies were in abundance. as well as other good things to eat. The re- ceipts were about S36. No one com plained of not getting his money's worth and one person said that what he had would have cost him ten times as much In any city restaurant, and not be half as good, either.
 After the supper hour was over the entertainment began. Through the agency of Mrs. 4 $ Walker, the com mittee was able to have the assistance of Mir and Mrs Gilbert A Wagner of Stafford Mir and Mrs. Wagner. both possessors of especially pleasing voie- es. sang several songs together. and also several solos. The entire audience sat with entire attention all through their excellent program. Mr. and Mrs. Wagner have won many friends in Eastford by their ready willingness to assist the library committee, and also by their pleasing personalities
  will certainly look forward to hearing them again; and we hope that they will be with Us on December 18th. as wr now expect they will.
 l. is understood that Clifford Bowen had bought the Peal place in Abingdon and that he plans to move as soon as possible l. Is with feelings of regret that we learn of his leaving Eastford, for he Is well liked and will leave mana friends here. We all join in wishing every success in his new home and hope that he will not forget the 0id one.
