Several Hundred Dollars
Damage Fire Unitarian Church

Although the fire at the Unitarian
church was easily extinguished with
few pals of water and chemicals Sat-
urday evening. the damage will prob
ably amount to several hundred dollars,
for the blaze was in the heart Of the
pipe organ and burned many of the con-
Meeting reeds. Mystery surrounds the
origin Of the blaze. for until 1t was
discovered by the janitor at o'clock
no one was known to have been in the
church for six days. The place where
the fire occurred was quite tnaccessi-
BILE and no electric wires ran within
several feet of the place. The only
theory which authorities can advance
is that it must have been set.
About 5. o'clock Allen Hilton. the
ianitor of the church. and his friend,
Theodore Hardy, entered the building
and found it full of smoke. They
started looking around as fast as pos
sible to see where it came from. They
found flames shooting up from the in
terror of >the organ and while Hardy
poured pals of water on the blaze.
Hilton hurried to the fire station and
the still alarm call 121 was rung in.
AS far as actual flames were concerned.
the fire did not amount to much and
in any ordinary part of the building
would have caused only a few dollars
damage; but as it was, the damage
will run into hundreds Of dollars. Rev.
Arthur Buckner. minister of the
church. declared last night that in
few more minutes the fire would prob
ably have gained great Roadway. The
church has been erected for long
time and the organ was finder dry,
making excellent fuel for the flames. :

mounted the stairs and went through
an old trunk which Mr.. Mcclellan be-
lieves contained some silverware. He
scattered the contents of the trunk
and stole the silver. He wandered
through the rooms Of the apartment
and when he opened the door of
front room he fould young lady sit
ting there. Both were thoroughly
scared, according to reports. The
thief slammed the door and disap-
peared and the young lady hurried
from the house.
Mr.. Mcclellan was away at the time
and was not Informed of the trouble
until his return an hour later and he
Immediately informed the, police then.
but when they arrived the burglar had
made his escape.
1t is thought that the same party
may be responsible for the numerous
petty breaks in this city and surround
ing towns which .have occurred recent
ly. The burglar does not seem to have
any preference as to the time of day,
some occurring at night, one about 5
in the afternoon, another about 6
o'clock and the one today about /
o'clock.
The thief yesterday followed his
usual method of breaking out several
panes from back window and climb
ing through. The young lady was
unable to give clear description to
the police but seemed to have an idea
that the man wore khaki pants and
shirt. The last break was in Fairfield
last Thursday night, when someone
cleaned out the cash drawer in Nights
nll1ng station to the amount of $50.

PARK
FOR EASTERN u. S.
EXPERTS PLAN

Washington, Dec. Shy A. P.)-
Establishment of additional national
parks east of tn e Mississippi was
recommended today in the annual re-
port of Stephen T. Mather, director
OF the Park Service. A typical Sec
ton of the Appalatian should be con-
served. made accessible to the public
and developed by federal funds, he
said. Some untouched section of
the Everglades" in Florida was sug-
gested as offering an idear site for
new park.
Director Mather expressed the hope
that some public spirited Individual
or foundation might purchase the
Mammoth cave i'm Kentucky for con-
KmothCave ,,gotowo 9.biirbS koSS oil
servation. 1t is expected, he said,
that this property shortly will be Of
fered at public auction. where it
should bring about S1,000,O0O.
Discussing the growth of the sys-
tenn of state parks, the report pre-
dlcted that every state would eventu-
ally join the program. Pressure on
the federal government to take over
areas lacking national park scenic
standards. was declared to have come
mainly from states that have not
ventured the establishment of state
parks"
A super-survey Sof the country's
scenic assets was advocated, such
survey to be made by a committee OF
nationally known experts of various
professions under the direction of the
secretary of the interior.

coed to elect by written ballot anoth-
Ell superintendent to serve out the
uneXpired term, whose salary shall
be determined by the selectmen."
The next article was to see if the
town would vote to elect a board of
members who should serve as such
until the following town meeting,
said commission to be elected by sep
crate ballot. 1t was voted to elect
three.
Mr.. Badger stated that he wished
tc resign as a member of the board
of water commissioners.

lot for the first member of the board
of water commissioners and when the
vote was announced there were 17S
votes cast and Henry Fernald who
had previously resigned from the old
board was elected, having 1T votes.

works department" 1t was voted that
the office be located in Union hall
building, together with all property
belonging to the water works. Arts.

three members of the old board did
not resign it~would be a matter for
the courts to settle which board
