Suggest Israel
 Putnam Highway"
Would Name New State Road Through Part of Pomfret and
 Brooklyn for General

A suggestion of a DanielSon man. who is n substantial and public spir- ited citizen of accomplishment, but who does not desire any publicity. that the new highway from Pomfret railroad station south through Brook lyn, Canterbury and Lisbon to Nor wich, be named the Israel Putnam Highway" is gaining considerable recognition and endorsement. The name is suggested in honor of Wind ham county's outstanding Revolution- ary patriot. General Israel Putnam. The citizen has already taken the mat. ter up with State Highway Commis- sioner John A. Macdonald.
 The name seems additionally ap- propriate because the highway passes through a section of the country where much of the life of the renown- ed general was spent. It passes the Putnam farm, the site of the house where he died and the field where he left his blow to answer the call 10 arms in 1776. Tn the village of Brooklyn it passes Putnam's old hotel. Mortlake Manor, in the yard of which is memorial monument commemo- rating his deeds as a soldier.

 Old AS the Story
 Another Killingly hen was resur- reeted last week by the Minneapolis Tribune" Under the caption" Strange as 1t Seems, appeared a likeness" of the thirty-two- year old hen once owned by James Blanchard of Dayville The story of this old hen has gone the rounds of newspa- pers for some years. Just how it came to be resurrected out in Minne- sota is an enigma. Under the picture of the hen appeared the following. "A hen owned by James Blanchard. Dayville. Conn, lived for thirty-two years. She changed from black to white in her fifteenth year and laid eggs and mothered chicks in her thirty-seeond year"
 If the hen was alive today it would be celebrating it's golden anniversary. It Is nearly twenty years ago that the tale of the venerable Blanchard hen first got into print. When 1t died many obituaries were written. Its record of longevity still stands.

Home For the Aged at Abingdon An Important

ssThe Haven" home for the aged at Abingdon, has become an outstand- ,ng county institution. In it, as it's name implies, is found a haven for heInless. lonely and bereaved elderly nsaple Its efforts fill niche in the scheme of life that is too often neg lected. The fine institution now con- veniently located just north of the village of Abingdon is the realiza- ton of the dream of a philanthrophic- ally inclined Norwich woman, Mrs. Susan J. Howe.
 February 1ith, 1920, Mrs. Howe opeped a little cottage at 97 Summit street. Norwich, as a home for the aged. The first inmate was Miss Julia Niles Standish of Norwich, well known as a portrait painter. She was A direct descendant of Captain Miles Standish and died at the age of ninety-five, having spent the last five wears of her life a helpless invalid. finder the best possible environment and surrounded by those who made her life as peaceful and pleasant as possible under the circumstances, she spent her last days. It was due to this peace and tranquility of her last wears that led Miss Standish to call the home into which she had been taken "The Haven" saying: Tt has hean a haven to me" The name seemed enlightening and appropriate and although the institution has broadened far beyond expectations during it's ten years existence, The Haven" it has remained to this day.
 Through the suggestion of Charles Northrup, at the time city missionary in Norwich, the work was begun Tn earnest. Because of the many cases of pitiful helpless old age and lonely bereavement of what is termed the aniddle class" of elderly people 1t was decided to open the home for thls class. charging a moderate price, but with no thought of profit from the venture. "The Haven" gives succor to these elderly people who, during their lives. have worked for moderate wages and put by little for old age. If affords them an opportunity to in- dependently and with dignity pass through the sunset of their lives.
 Soon after "The Haven" was estab- lished, in 1921, Mrs. Howe married Alfred Griggs of Abingdon in the town of Pomfret. They purchased the property known as the "Old Advent Chapel" Mrs. Griggs removed her family of aged people to Pomfret and at once began improvements on the building to make her charges more comfortable. Notwithstanding there have been trying times, obstacles to overcome and financial difficulties to be brushed aside. Mrs. Griggs per sisted in her effort.

April 18th to Be Day of Fasting and Prsyer-Citixens Asked te ob-

The annual Good Friday proclama- ton was made public by Governor John H. Trumbull Tuesday as fol lows:
 "The framers of the Constitution of Connecticut bequeathed to poster ity no inheritance more splendid than our deep and abiding reverence for Almighty God. Such reverence is the foundation of good citizenship. an in- spiration to the most exalted patriot ism, and an unfailing motive to de- votedness and unselhshness in the ser vice We owe one another.
 Service summarizes all our obliga- tions to God and home and country and always implies the willingness to make sacrifices the surrender of self.
 Thus it is that Good Friday has long been set aside that the people of Connecticut may each year be led to consider anew the standards which underlie our whole social and civil fabric, and thus it is also that. ani- mated by profound conviction of the value of this custom, I appoint Friday, the 18th of April next. as a day of
 Fasting and Prayer"
 "and call upon my fellow citizens to observe this day in accordance with the traditions of our fathers, the dictates of our conscience and the need, common to us all, of lofty spirit ual ideals"
 The proclamation bears the first impression of the state seal which was recently completed to replace the old state seal, worn out after years of use.

More than 30.0O0 anglers are ex- pected to take advantage of the open ing days of the trout season, which will begin Tuesday, April 18th, and at least 10000 will be licensed before the end of the fishing period. These estimates are made by the State Board of Fisheries and Game, based on sta tistics of other years including the actual count of fishermen on streams and the number of licenses issued in the state.
 Twenty streams. leased and stock ed by the state. will be ready for public fishing at the opening of the season. In these waters will be more than 7s,000 legal length trout which have been put in since last season, besides thousands left from last year. More than 300 streams not under state lease, but open for public fish ing, have also been stocked by the state.
 The commission has been very much handicapped in the distribution of adult trout during the month of March on account of impossible dirt roads over which most of them must be hauled in order to reach proper planting places. In other years, if has been possible to get to these places over frozen ground.
