FRESH AIRS ARE COMING
 ON AUGUST SIXTEENTH

Putnam Savings Bank at 7.30 o'clock Thursday evening, July 18th. All or ganizations and churches in the city are asked Co send representatives tc this meeting. The Putnam Rotary Club has already appointed it's child's welfare committee to attend. The Elks, at their meeting Tuesday eve ming, contributed $50. This will take care of five children. Such early ac- ton is most encouraging. The list of hosts must be in hand ten days before the children leave the city so thnt the work must be under way as quickly as possible. Anyone willing to aid in the work, either by taking one or more children CT by contribution of money, are asked Go communicate with Mrs. Torrey, 375 School street, telephone l007.
 Luncheon on Arrival
 When the children arrive they will be met by a committee and taken to the Israel Putnam school yard for luncheon. The luncheon will be pro- vided by the Red Cross Nursing Com. mittee, The Cosmos Club, and the Catholic Welfare Council. The Red Cross Nursing Committee has voted to supply each child a half pint of milk, the two other organizations will serve sandwiches etc.
 Putnam has been entertaining these youngsters from New Iork's east side tenement districts for quite a number of years. The fact that the number entertained has increased each veal is evidence that the work of the fund appeals to the individual. The chil dren arrive emaciated, pale and some times prone to sickness. They re main two weeks in the open air, cn joy wholesome recreation and sub stantial food. and return to their cits walls and payements sunburued ans healthy and with better outlook or life, many hoping at some time C leave the congested city district fol permanent homes in the cour try which many of them come to love in the fourteen days of enjoyment

LOCAL DEMOCRATS ARE

 Together Meeting Tonight
Senator Walsh Gone to Battle Greek
 For Rcst

Local Democratic party leaders are ''up in the air" so to speak, as to the s'get-together" meeting scheduled to be held at the Putnam Inn this eve ming at seven o'clock standard time. When the first notice of the meeting was broadcast party leaders in Put nam stated that they knew nothing about the plan directly. Up to We'd nesday morning, while they had read the first announcement in The Patriot last week and had received circular letters calling attention to the meet ing, they knew of no specific arrange ments having been made to hold such a gathering in Putnam.
 Edmund Dubois, chairman of the Democratic town committed, and Frank Dumas, chairman of the Demo cratic city committee, stated Tuesday evening that they have nothing to do with the arrangements and that SO far as they have been able to learn no reservations have been made at the Putnam Inn for either a supper or meeting. They stated that they had not been asked to make any ar arrangements.
 Doesn't Know How Many
 Landlord Rogers of the Inn said Wednesday morning that all he knew about the situation was that he had been asked to serve suppers Wednes- day evening at S1.50 a plate. He did not know how many to arrange for and had no detailed knowledge of what was expected of him.

Committee Will Try to Break Last Years Record of
 Ninety Organization Will be Perfected at
 Meeting July IS

The 'sFresh Airs" are coming again this year. They will arrive in Putnam from New York August 16th and will remain for a two weeks vacation Tn the country. How many are coming ! That depends upon the generosity of the people of the Putnam district in- eluding Putnam, Thompson, Pomfret, Woodstock and Eastford. If there are people in any other nearby towns will ing to take one or more children or contribute cash they will be more than welcome. Last year this districts voluntary quota was fifty. The quota was early doubled as homes were found for ninety children. This was record, and a record that pleased the committee and the officials of the New York Tribune's Fresh Air Fund, now in it's fifty-second year. No doubt the aim will be to beat the record of last year. Already cash has been contributed and word has been re- ceiyed from homes that will be thrown open, assuring an early and enconrag- ing beginning. This denotes that the work is already under way al- though no organization has as yet been perfected.

Townhouse Crowded At Fri. day's Meeting.-Not a Dis
 senting Vote
A,prOpriation of $44.ooo Assures
 New Route

Although the townhouse was crowd sd to the doors for the special town meeting in Pomfret last Friday after noon. not a dissenting voice arose in urotest and not dissenting vote was cast against the appropriation of s44,- oo0 for the towns share of the ex- pense of building the new piece of State aid highway from east of Pom fret railroad station to the Brooklyn town line. The action of the town as- sures the construction by the state highway department of the ''cut-out" highway from tidewater northeasterly through Canterbury, Brooklyn. Pom fret. and thence to the Woodstocks and the Massachusetts state line.
 No Opposition
 It had been rumored that there was a growing opposition to the project. If this was so there must have been a change of mind on the part of the dis senters, for no opposition appeared. Andrew Sharpe was elected moderator If the meeting. Town Clerk Willis Covell read the call. A resolution call- ing for the appropriation and for au- thorizing the selectmen to enter into an agreement with the state highway department to the end that the work may be carried out, was read. The resolution was introduced as a motion and was seconded. Remarks were called for. None were made and the vote was put, unanimously carried, and the important town meeting was over.
 Of the S44,000 appropriated by the voters the town treasury will be rein- bursed three fourths of the amount or s3S .000 from the state aid highway fund. In addition to this the state high way department will use S50,00 from it's own appropriation toward the con struction of the piece of road, which is expected to cost approximately $94,- 900. It was a generous offer upon the part of the state, and the citizens of

Former Dudley Policeman Driv- ing Truck Becomes Belig-
 gerent
Once Arrested For Aeeepsiag Bribe

Once Arrested For Acceptiag Bribe
 At three o'clock this morning State Policeman Elton T. Nolan of the Dam ielson barracks arrested Andrew Roaknak, former Dudley policeman, at the point of gun when the man, a truck driver, became belligerent.
 In the city court this morning the former policeman was charged with transporting liquor. The case was continued and bonds of S25O were furnished.
 On the truck, the officer alleges, were five one-gallon cans and two five gallon jugs. It is believed that koak- nak had somewhere delivered load of liquor, but it is claimed by the state that there was enough alleged liquor remaining in the containers found on the truck to prove that liquor had been transported.
 When the officer went to arrest the man, Koaknak grabbed an iron crank and threatened him. It was then that Nolan pulled his revolver and made the arrest.
 Koaknak, it is said, while acting as an officer in Dudley, was convicted of accepting a bribe and discharged from the force and sentenced to jail. Local officers are of the opinion that the man is engaged in illegal liquor traffic be- tween New York and points in Massa- chusetts and possibly Connecticut.
