 History

Here's about the Little Dam Tavern
 On the outskirts of Putnam town:
 Where peachy, and perry and cider, Fresh from the presses were found.
 The Dam Tavern obtained it's name from the little dam in one of the springfed streams whose waters an ciently spread over the meadows just below and to the vest of the guest house (later known as Thunder Castle). and the waters finally found their way unconfined to the pond near where the boundary now stands. Should We visit this place most like ly we will follow the School street road. The present High School is not on the original Thompson road (1S54); it did not continue straight along but went off to the right in a sort of circus. or half moon, rather long circuit at the base of Shippee Hill, now Walnut street. We will pass on beyond the gypsy place of encamp ment on the logging road across the bridge-a little further We come to the ancient tavern. When the gypsies squatted opposite they made use of the second growth of birehes. Most of these are gone-in fact it seems as though they must have gone with the gypsies. Camps and caravans are disappearing from pasturage land and in Czechoslovakia are becoming civil ized. In our country they are sharp observers of nature and by the time they are twenty-one can speak half dozen languages, although they attend no schools.
 A short mile from the centre of the town across the bridge of stream at the angle of the road, quite lonely, is the house which was once a little tavern. A larger one stood near the Gascaquonquin or Cargill Falls; small as they were they were ample for wayside refreshments as they seldom kept people over night. Travellers by coach stopped at the Ben Gros- venor Inn in Pomfret. The old Stiles Tavern in Thompson. The old we'll loaded road-wagons with drivers and footsore pilgrims and travellers of the poorer kind, overtaken by storm or night. found a cold house, and a shake down of good clean straw in the barn where both men and beasts rested over night There was excellent stabling for horses; here a fresh one might be hired to continue the journey to Providence or New port This beautiful residential city was of commercial importance until the Revolution. Beyond the great house" though really quite small on a little stream with a little dam stood a saw-mill where logs were made ready for building. Beside the saw-mill was machine mill for grinding and pressing fruit from the

decay so that it seemed as though the place had been transferred from the little God Baechus to the God Jupiter. Needless to say i'll fared the land to hastening ills a prey.
 Still later a good Methodist sister was talking to her pastor, who had recently taken up his abode in Put nam when she mentioned the Dam Tavern his face elongated and his eye dropped at the supposed damnable words The story went round. Do you remember What from our hands shall the world
 receive? Races die when they cease to toll. Nations fall when their best is done, Each must better his patch of soil And build for the ones who are com
 ing on; The next age starts where the last one
 stayed Youth picks up where Old Age puts
 down, Thus has ever been progress made. What shall we gain for the worlds
 renown? Some new truths we have learned to
 write. Changed is the world from the ways of old; Speech now flies with the speed of
 light. Almost mastered are heat and cold. Beauty we've cherished and brought
 to flower. And the age that follows shall start anew Trebled in knowledge and trebled in
 power To solve the problems we couldn't do.

REESE THEATRE Announces
UNUSUAL NEW YEARS PROGRAM

In keeping with the holiday spirit.
the Reese Theatre, located at Har-
rington, has announced program
of real holiday productions for New
Years week.
ID. w. Griffith's Abraham Lincoln"
is the attraction for Monday and
Tuesday, December 20 and 80. A
decade and half ago, D. w. Grif-
nth, dreamer, idealist, sculptor in
living figures. by his genius lifted a
tattered and struggling art to world
wide recognition with his immortal
Birth of a Nation, and now,, Grif-
fifth has given to the talking picture
what he gave to the silent. In sweep
and spectacle history is written and
Lincoln lives again in Griffiths su-
preme achievement.
On Wednesday and Thursday, Dec
ember 81 and January 1, arrange
ments have been made to present
what is considered one of the years
outstanding productions. A better
picture than Holiday" could not
have been selected for a New Years
presentation. Five stage players of
great prominence are featured-Ann
Harding, Mary Astor, Edward Ever
EFT Horton, Robert Ames and Hedda
Hopper. Holiday" is outstanding
in every respect, a massive produc-
tion with story which for tense
ness and human interest has seldom
been told on the dialogue screen.
Holiday" will not be the screen at
traction at the special New Years
Eve Midnight show. Another special
production combined with a stage
frolic composed of Delaware and
Maryland talent will be the feature
for this special midnight show.
Another production of unusual
merit is listed for Friday and Satur-
day, January and 8. Swing High"
the much heralded musical circus
romance is the attraction together
with bevy of special short subjects.
Seven of the best song writer's in
America contributed six numbers to
Swing High. The result is that
this production includes a song cycle
that for variety of rythm, romance
and comedy, is the. finest that has !
been presented since the inception
Of talking pictures.
Swing High" has sixteen stars |
headed by Helen Twelvetrees and |
Nick Stuart. To miss it would be
