KLONDIKE" SWITCH
 TOWER PASSES OUT
Hand Switches Installed Trains Will Use Old Cross overs Near May Street.-Be- lieved to Be Economy Meas ure.

The switch tower in the north end of the Putnam railroad yard, just south of Mecaniesville. known as the "Klondlke," is no more. It has heen closed, it is undersood, as a meas ure of economy. Three tower men are relieved by the closing of the tower as three eight hour tricks have been maintained for number of years.
 With this switching point closed the trains on the New London divi- sion, Boston Co Hartford and New York, will cross at the old crossover just south of Main street as they did before the little tower on the out skirts of the Putnam yard was install icd
Putnam patriot., 1928-11-22
Why They cross

Trains arriving from New London proceed to Worcester in northwest erly direction, Trains arriving from Hartford leave for Boston in north easterly direction. As the trains on the New London division arrive on tracks easterly of the Midland divi- sion and proceed northwesterly it ia necessary that they cross before leav- ing the Putnam yard Since the in- stallation of the klondike tower the trains have run a mile or more north of the city before making this cross over. From now on. because only hand switch remains near the klon- dike, the trains will be switched over from the tower near the Front street bridge

 Idea Tried In FIoridd

TAMPA, Fla, Dec. 5.--Tampa is experiencing it's first venture into communism. The movement, inaugurated by the Family Serv- ice Association, Is patterned along different lines from that in Russia. however.
 In a sparsely settled neigh horhood, six small houses stood for q lcng period unrented. The owner listened to plan outlin- ed by association officers and agreed to turn his buildings into the experiment.
 The plan, explained by Miss Eleanor Porter, director of the organization, is to give the homes 10 broken families-widows and deserted mothers with children. A playground for the youngsters is under way and contests are held for the adults in the trans formation of barren exteriors with vines and flowers.
 There is community buying, and the group idea is extended to other activities. Several fam flies now are established in the homes.

BENNETT VAMP IN
 COMEDY, AT LIBERTY


 Madeline Hurlock has at lasi come into her own. She is fea. tured in a Mack Sennett comedy called "A Small Town Princess which comes to the Liberty to. night.
 Madeline is a favorite of Sen netts. And rightly so, fer she is one of the most beautiful girls now playing in pictures and a consummate, actress to boot. For several years she has been the vamp de luxe of the Sennett come dies. She it is who has caused so many screen heroes to leave their happy homes just for her and the resulting excitement has been the theme of many of the funniest comedies Sennett has pro- duced.
 In particular has Madeline play ed opposite Ben Turpin.
 And now Madeline has been chosen as the fairest of the fair by the Holliwood conncisseur of pulchritude. He considers her the ideal type of feminine loveli- ness. Her face and figure are per fectly proportioned. She com blnes the sweetness of youth with dignity and grace.
 
 Billy Bevan is also featured in this comedy and he proves him. self well worthy of distinction. Others in the cast include David Manor, Nan Carr and Bud Ross.
