 SCRAPERS CLEAR SNOW

One of the N. Y. N. H. & II. Rail roads new blows, one of the largest ever to be used in clearing the right of way of snow, appeared in this city during the heavy snow storm last Sat urdy. The plow was run north of the city as far as the heavy snow belt con tinucd and then returned to New London.
 The state highway department under Supervisor James Maher of this division, maintained cleared and sanded roads from the time the first snow fell and is still out with the large trucks and scrapers.
 The city's highway department has also been busy with snow removal, giving employment to extra men. The blow was run over ail of the streets in the city and men and teams have removed the banks of snow along the sides of the streets in the business section.

WATERMAN WORSTED CO.
 SHIPS MACHINERY
First Two Truck Loads Leave For New Mill at Coffs
 Falls
Operations Began in New Plant This
 Morning

Two huge trucks, each carrying v, looms. left the plant of the Wa terman Worsted Company, Tues day, and arrived at the mill in Goffs Falls, N. H., just out of Manchester, eight hours later. They were the first loads of machinery to leave the Putnam worsted mill, which will eventually result in the passing. as far as Putnam is concerned, of this important industry.
 This morning machinery in the, re- gently acquired New Hampshire plant was set in motion. The remov- ing of the plant from one place to the other will be accomplished as far as possible without interrupting the company's output. For the pres ent cloth woven in New Hampshire will be brought back to Putnam to be finished As each loom in the Putnam plant is run out it will be shipped north. 1t is anticipated that it will take approximately thirty loads in the large trucks of George Ross to transfer the entire plant from one city to the other. The ex- act time when operations in this city will cease entirely can not be foretold. It will depend upon how the work now in process leaves the looms. It is expected that by the mid de of February. or, at the latest, the first of March, the concern will no longer be numbered among this city's manufacturies. Dennis Don ovan, boss weaver, is in Goffs Falls experimenting the starting of the ,aii: today Agent hosssd Shir refs returned from Goffs Falls last evening. He las been making trips between the old and the new plants for the past two months keeping in touch with progress at the new mill where the first important change was the installation of an elevator.

 But 1880 is behind us. We do not stand and lock back else we should not go forward.

STORM RESEMBLES
 BLIZZARD OF 'S8

This section of the state received the heft of a snow storm, which started about eleven o'clock last Sat urday morning and resembled for a time the blizzard of 'ss. During the night before and up until it began to snow it rained. This laid founda- tion for heavy blanket of snow and traffic was delayed. Trains were from twenty to thirty minutes late. Buses came through but lost time. During the height of the storm the fire department was called out for a blazing transformer on Providence street. The trucks made the run and returned to the fire station without mishap. A peculiar feature of the storm was that much less snow fell to the north and to the south of this immediate section. People who came in from far northern points said that there was no snow storm at all and along the coast line rain was reported.

 Ideal One
Carols Sung Nativity Drama.
 Many Decorations

Had one been asked to choose the kind of Christmas day desired he could not have pictured day as ideal as was Thursday. 1t was the first white Christmas since 1922 The air was crisp. in fact in the early morning hours the thermom- eterS registered below zero. But soon the sun came out bright and warm It was an ideal day to be out of doors; it was a comfortable, cozy. sort of day to be in the house. For the first Christmas in a long time those fortunate enough to have a horse and sleigh enjoyed a Christ mas sleigh ride.
 Through the city and surrounding towns the people evidenced the Christmas spirit us never before. Very few homes were without lights, or wreaths. or trees. to denote the holiday season. The observance be- gan Sunday with special Christmas services in the churches. In the evening High school pupils renewed the custom, long neglected. of sing ing Christmas carols. In Pomfrst larpe audiences gathered to witness the awe inspiring Holy Night drama.
 Good Business
 Stores were open evenings up to Christmas eve. Inquiry develops that merchants were well satisfied with the volume of buying In some in stances the best holiday trade in years was announced Others said that business equalled or compared favorably with the year before. The following day all business was sus- pended and tired storekeepers and salespeople enjoyed the day to them selves. So with the postmaster and his official family The largest Christ mas mail in the history of the office was handled. The extraordinary volume of business was efficiently dispose of and all mail on hand was delivered the night before the holi- day.
 In the Churches
 Christmas eve there was a special service at St. Philips church. It last ed into the early hours of Christmas morning. i St. Mary'S church large congregations attended the 6 o'clock and 10.30 o'clock masses. There were smaller congregations at the 2 and o'clock masses. There were elaborate musical programs through out, the more elaborate attracting the larger congregations.
 The day itself passed quietly. There were visitors from other towns and cities; there were family gather ngs and family reunions. Some left the city to spend the day elsewhere. The police were not called upon to make an arrest. There were no auto mobile accidents reported at police headquarters. The city throughout was quiet. orderly. and good cheer abounded.
 Needy Remembered
 Through the efforts of the Saliva ton Army. Putnam Lodge of Elks, Red Cross. and other organizations and groups, dinners were dispensed to the needy and there were pres cnts for the children.
