Mrs. Degan and Miss Degan of Boston and Byfield, Mass, spent the weekend at Fox Hill Farm.
 Miss Katherine Moves arrived at Fox Hill Farm on Monday for short stay before she opens Topsiield for the season.
 Friday evening there will be whist, pitch and dancing in the A. 0. II. Hall under the auspices of the Pom fret Council of Catholic Women.
 Mrs. F. J. Foley left on Saturday for New York City, where she will visit her sisters, Mrs. Margaret Fish man and Mrs. Elizabeth Racieot, also a brother in Arlington, N. J.
 A meeting of the PCmfret Chapter of the Red Cross was held at the home of the Misses Reyes on Tuesday after noon of last week, at which time a contribution to the dental clinic of the district schools was voted, the amount to be decided later.
 At the speaking and spelling con- test of the North school on Wednesday afternoon of last week the first place in speaking was voted Co Thomas kd- ington; second to Christopher Kempf, Jr. Many of the other young speakers did extremely well. The first place in spelling was won by Mill dred Bridge; second by Ira Rains ford. The Kinder Band formed . fea- ture of the afternoon program.
 All things in Pomfret nowadays work for the good of the Public Li- brary. which is now opened to the pub lie in the old Memorial Library Build ing, thanks to the generosity Of the Library Association, whose gift Of books and building is the fultillment of the persevering work of the Public Library Board. The play given by the teachers of the Pomfret Grammar schools. supplemented by interested friends, was planned and carr ed out for the benefit of this widely appreci- ated enterprise. Great credit Is due to those who. despite five full days Of labor every week iu the pursuance of their duties, accomplished the present ing of this amusing play, Amt lt the Truth" a farce in three acts, given at Pomfret Hall on Friday evening to a crowded house. The alsles were half filled with those too late to secure seats. and others less fortunate could not obtain entrance at all. The in- terested and appreciative audience welcomed with enthusiasm such famil- far public figures as Mir. Pratt and Mir. Robinson, in their roles of father and sheriff. and their friends in the other parts. Mir. Pritchard's work as inc nischievous school boy, Bobby Trumbull was excellent, and Miss Brotkin's portrayal of the dangerous vamp,u very good indeed. All the actors were painstaking and earnest and much gratitude is felt for Mir. Vonsiatsky's kind interest in coaching and training the troupe.

MAKES BEAUTIFUL
 TABLE IN PLAY TIME
A. A. Fairfield Used 4,9S7 Pieces of 40 Different
 Kinds of Wood
Unusual Piece of Furniture in Drug
 Store Window

An inlaid table in the show win dow of Burt's drug store Is well worth inspection. 1t is an inlaid tabie. with eheckerboard top. 25X27 inches and in it's makeup are 4.9S7 pieces of material of forty different kinds of wood.
 The man who made this beautiful niece of furniture is A. A. Fairfield of Farrows street. He laid the first piece three years ago. He did not keep track of the hours he worked on if. in fact, he says, he did not work as he gave up work when he reached 10 wears of age and took up play. So inc table is the result \ many, many hours of play during a three year period.
 On one side of the old colonial hase is the insignia Of the Masonic order: on another side that of the Eastern Star; then there IS the insig- nia of the Odd Fellows on the third side, and on the fourth side IS the rising sun. The table is beautifully finished and vanished and appears as smooth as a piece of the finest marble or polished granite.
 Mir. Fairfield was born in Killing ly. April 7th. 1856. He had little op- portunity for an education as he went Go work in cotton mill at the aee of nine years. And 1 worked thirteen hours day" he said,
 Offered Job
 Mir. Fairfield was always handy with tools. He wanted Go learn cabin ct making. He laughingly tells how he almost apprenticed himself to Stone & Fenn. O. Putnam, of the long ago. He was offered an oppor- tunitv to satisfy his longing if he would take care O. the Deacon's old white horse, chop the wood and work for nothing for year. The second year he was promised a salary Of $50 for 12 months work. He might have taken the job at that but there was a family at home and they need ed his help.
 Mr. Fairfield eventually became a carpenter and has been in business m several places. including New Haven. Now he has retired. "l tore my name out of the telephone book he said, "and told my friends l did n't want to be bothered. l said l was going to Europe. l thought l had worked long enough when l reached seventy and wanted to play The beautiful table shows how part Of the retired" business mans play time has been spent.
 When told he did not look seventy. three years old Mir. Fairfield said that he had never been much oI a hand for late suppers.' 7 He intimated that he goes out little nights His eye is clear and his step is firm and he is apparently in the best of health and enjoying his well earned play time.

POWER I rus I
USED SGG4,000
IN CALIFORNIA
BY NJ. l.. RAMSAY
Universal Service

Electric power companies poured
out $s64.000 for propaganda and
other measures TO influence Cali
fornia voters against state develop
ment and operation OF public utility
plants. the Federal Trade Com
mission learned yesterday
Records introduced In evidence
at a hearing In the utilities inves.
tigation disclosed this expenditure
to defeat State water and power
acts submitted to the electorate
In 1922, 1924 and 1926. All three
acts were deBeated.
Consumers Paid Costs
Conclusions OF q State senate in
vestigating committee, and testimony
previously given the trade COM
mission. Indicated that the cost
Of the campaigns Of organization,
propaganda and advertising was
passed on" to consumers.
The records showed that the
greatest battle was fought out in
1922. Heading the forces opposed
to State development OF water
supply and electric plants were
the Greater California League"
and the Peoples Economy League"
Each of these organizations, the
records showed, was the power com.
panies in a false face.
The Greater California League"
got $4,000 OF its $245,O0O expenses
from the Pacific Gas and Electric
Company. The rest was collected by
this company from other concerns
In the industry and turned over to
the, league. A director was employed
for a $4,000 fee to engineer the
leagues campaign.
100000 Fund Given
A $107,O0 fund for the Peoples
Economy League" was contributed,
similarly, by and through the South
ern California Edison Company.
The league" sent out field agents
who organized about so subordinate
leagues" Their members or agents
distributed literature, arranged meet
ings, talked to neighbors and worked
at polling places.
The directing head of this league"
was IL. l.. Cornish, Los Angeles real
estate and insurance man. He was
paid $4,000 by the Southern Cali.
fornia Edison Company for his SER
vices, the records showed.
A woman publicity agent was
employed oy Cornish to conduct a
department Of women voters. She
was paid SOS week. Several wo.
men under her made speeches
against the water and power act
at meetings OF women.
The Use of questionable, mislead-
ing and deceptive ampaig n
methods" was attacked In the Cali
fornia State Senate investigating
committees report. Employment of
high sounding, patriotic names"
for organizations masking the
power companies, was cited.
The committee also found evil
dence that supposedly disinterasted
members OF bona fide organizations
were hired as campaign workers
for the purpose OF obtaining the
Endorsement of those organizations,
or to influence their membership.
