More and More Colds

Demand for VspORub Pioneer of No Dosing Method, Grows
 At Amazing Rate

A generation ago. when Vicks vapoFub was originated. the idea of treating colds without dosing was almost unheard of. Today. moro and more colds are treated erfer- -aailg, and tae whole trend of medi- cal practice Is away from needless --dosing"
 Mothers especially appreciate Vicks. because it checks colds with out risk of upsetting ohildrens deli- cate stomachs. Just rubbed on. yicks acts through the skin like a plaster; and at the same time itgives of medicated vapors which are in- haled direct to the infiamed air. passages.
 Year after year the demand for Vicks has grown until fl is now the family standby for colds--adults' as well as children'--in more than 50 countries.
 A short time ago the famous Wick slogan "I7 Million Jars Used Yearly" was raised to '2f Million" to keep step with the ever-increas- ing demand Again the figures have been outgrown, as there are now ''Oyer % Million Jars Used Yearly" !" in the United States alone.

ATHLETIC FIELD
 TO BE IMPROVED
Fund Raised By Putting on Car nivaI SI, I,400.--School Board To Use Balance From Reg ular Appropriation.

At a special meeting of the town school committee last Friday evening 1t was voted to proceed with improv- ing the Putnam high school athletic field. There is a fund Of approximate ly Sf 400 on hand for the purpose. This fund represents the proceeds from a carnival put on under the supervision of Putnam Lodge Of Elks. The balance of the S2.000, estimated as the amount to be expended ln re- grading and reseeding, will be taken from the regular school appropria- ton. It is emphasized that no special appropriation will be necessary as the balance of the s2.000 will be talk en from the regular appropriation for schools.
 The reconditioning of the athletic field was proposed a number of years ago. While admittedly necessary the matter of financing the proposition stood in the way. Putnam Lodge of Elks generously came to the aid of the Athletic Association and put on carnival. Because of unfayorable weather this was not the success an- ticipated but the substantial sum now on hand was raised and through the cooperation of the school board the work will now proceed. Games sched uled for the remainder of the season will be played on Adams field. Main street

GOVERNOR HORDES
 HIS BACK SALARY
Michigan Official May Turn Checks Over to Granddaughter

Lansing, Mich. Aug. 16, P(-Fr"d w. Green, Michigan's chief executive some day may deplete the state fund by s2o,000.
 It will represent his salary for four years, the state paying him the magnanimous sum of 5000 year to direct it's corporate activi- ties.
 The pile of salary checks is grow ing. The governor now is serving his second term, which will expire in 1880. Right now the governor has approximately 60 checks whose total value is S13,000 tucked away in a drawer.
 What the governor, who is not dependent upon the pay from the state for a living, plans to do with the money is a matter of conjecture in the capital. Only Governor Green , knows.
 The common guess is that the wad of checks will be turned to the credit of his little granddaughter, Nancy, for if the governors affection for the child could be measured in money, | the girl would command at least a million.
 A prosperous furniture manufac- l turing business pays the governor

New Britain Legionnaires Want
 State Convention In l93O Here;
 Jackson May Not Ask Reelection
Eddy Glover Post Members Make Effort At Hartford Gathering This Month to Have Next Years
 Department Meeting in This City.

II became known today. that some of the local delegates to the Ameri- can Legion convention at Hartford the latter part of this month were enthusiastically greeting the idea Of having the next state convention ID New Britain. The last state conVen- ton of the Legion held in New Brit ain was in 1923, and local Legion naires believe that the time is ripe for another gathering in this city, especially now that there are ac- commodat tions for visit delegations. At that time the Hotel Burritt was not completed, and the housing problem was the greatest drawback to the arrangements committee.
 It is understood that Bridgeport and Wnsted are in the field for next years convention but the former has already had state convention ani
New Britain herald., 1929-08-16

the latter is considered too far from
 the center of the state, besides hay ing the accomm odation problem to
 cope with.
 As the New Britain delegation has no candidate for state commander and has the largest post in the state,
 it is deemed highly probable that
 the local delegation will boost the Hardware City for the convention n 1880. Ex-Post Commander H. C.. Avery said today that he would do all in his power to have the Legion convention here, and he is sure that
 if New Britain wants it there will
 be no trouble getting it. National Committeeman Harry c. Jackson, whose term expires this year, is not expected to seek reelection at the
 convention in Hartford but to swing
 his support to influence the commit tee on the next convention.
