Corporation News

NEW YORK, August 2l.--The fol-
lowing is today's summary of important
corporation news prepared by Standard
Statistics Co. Inc, New York, for the
Associated Press:
News Trend.
Earnings statements and dividend an
nouncements contribute the items of
outstanding interest in the days cor
poration news. Of the large number of
earnings reports only three show better
results than year ago. These are Va
nadium Corp, Atlas PlyWood and
Northern Paper Mills. A distinctly poor
showing has been made by Nickel Plate,
with July net income declining 93.4 per
cent and seven months 1872 per cent
from the 1929 periods. This reduction
is largely the result of the slackness in
movements of automobiles and mlscel-
laneous manufactures from which this
road derives a substantial portion of its
revenues. Unfavorable dividend actions
were taken by Shell Union Oil and
Hudson Motor Car. The former passed
quarterly payment due September 30,
while Hudson declared dividend of IS
cents. compared with former quarterly
disbursement of $l.25. An initial divi-
dend was declared by International
Salt.
Electricity output, which is one of the
accepted indicators of industrial actiVl-
ty, was 0.5 per cent smaller IN week
ended August 16 than in previous week.

NATIVITY PLAY IN
 POMFRET DEC. FIST
Two Performances of Beautiful Drama The Sunday Evening Be fore Christmas.--only One Mem ber of Original Cast Remains

Christmas week is ever heralded in pomfret by the Nativity Play. Sun day evening before Christmas, De- eember 21st. there will be two per- formances of this beautiful drama given in Pomfret Hall at 7.30 and s.30 o'clock respectively. Ii is never possible to admit to the hall all who wish to see this spectacle. and for years it has been customary to give two performances.
 By the courtesy of the Rector of Christ Church, the Reverend Leon- ard Richards, the doors of the church are opened to the public, during the early performance. The church is heated and lighted, and all are invit- ed to wait here until they can be admitted to the Hall
 For the first time since the incep- ton of this Christmas celebration, MT. Warren Averill is unable on ae- count of absence. to take the role he has made so impressively and tragic ally beautiful. It Is the part of an ancient King of the Orient. full of power and riches, proud in his dominion, who. bowed low in rever- eHt WoHuer anu auofaeoht Piaeto tifs very crown of his own glory at the feet of the manager.
 The sorrowful absence of Mir. Av' erill leaves Mir. J. Fred Ash the only member Of the little band who, since 1913, has fulfilled his part, beau tiful and stirring one, in this famous presentation.
 The Nativity Play, or Holy Night is the Community's Christmas greet ing and gift to all those who desire to see it.

LIGHTING AND POWER
 / RATES ARE REDUCED

tain it's rates at as low level as is consistent with good service. and, in pursuance of this policy, 1t was among the first in New England to adopt form of rate that places ad- ditional service at the disposal of the customer at a low price per unit. The large participation of the Danielson and Putnam districts in the total re- duction Is due. to large extent. to the fact that the domestic customers have heen alive to the advantages of the promotional form of rates, which permit the economical operation of the many convenient and labor-sav- ing devices which are now available. The constantly increasing use of the service by the residential customer nas been fortunate offset to the marked falling of in the company's industrial business.
 The new rate schedules, according to Mir. Ralph, are in course of prep aration in detail for filing, and they will shortly be announced.

MAKING READY FOR
 AIRCRAFT SCHOOL
Textile Machinery Removed From Trade School.---ln-
 structor Being Sought
How New England Compares With
 Rest of Country

Progress is being made at the Put nam State Trade School toward in- stalling the newly authorize course for training airplane engine mech anies. Such of the textile equipment as was worth salvaging and salcable as second hand machinery has been removed. The balance will be- scrap ped because it is obsolete in design and much of it was especially con strueted for the work at the school
 The textile department was sus- pended in 1928. It was never at tractive to day pupils. The evening class was popular. Those employed in textile work grasped the oppor- tunity to make themselves more pro- ficient It is hoped to continue the night classes. including instruction in cloth analysis and design for silk and other fabrics manufactured in this section.
 At present a suitable instructor for the airplane department is being sought. Until man is engaged there will be no effort to install equipment
 Aircraft m New England
 Now that an aircraft engine schoo' is to be established here to train mechanics the importance of the in. dustry in New England becomes Of more than passing interest. New EnRiand's relative position is indi. cated by figures given in the New England News Letter of November 1880.
 New England has 4.9 per cent oi the planes in the United States. 5.t per cent of the licensed planes. 5.2 per cent of the pilots. 4.2 per cent of the transport pilots. 4.5 per cent of the mechanics. 42 per cent of tho l landing fields, 9.6 per cent of the air transport routes. and 5.i per cent oi the total daily miles flown.
 l New England seems to have tn, larger proportion of aircraft activ ities. While it has but two per cen | of the area of the country and bu seven per cent of the population | ! has an average in all phases of avia tion activities of 5.4 per cent. l There are 9,747 planes in tn l United States of which New Englan i has ATT. Of these 6.66s are license | planes, New England contributin 376. Of the 12.Ss0 pilots New Eng land has 671 and of the transpor pilots, of which there are 5,27i. has 222. There are a total of 8,62 mechanics in the country, New Eng land having 39l There are ,59 landing fields of which New Englan has 67,1l5 air transport routes.

AN APPEAL FOR A
 FAITHFUL HORSE
Animal Over Twenty Years Old Falls Into Unreliable
 Hands
# s2o Can Be Raised h Win Re
 Killed


 The Patriot has made many ap- Peals but none such as this one. lt is an appeal for an old horse. The veteran Is over twenty years old ansl has fallen into questionable hands Twenty dollars will buy the animal and The Patriot has consented Co act as treasurer of the little fund and starts 1t with a dollar. If the fund is raised the horse will be humanely put out of the way by the Humane Society.
 The situation was brought to the at. tention of The Patriot by the Con- necticut Humane Society. Represent. ntivcs of the society were in the city, Tuesday. They find themselves pow erless Co afford the relief the faith ful animal is entitled to and tel the following story of its long life.
 The horse was born on q farm in a rural part of Putnam. It's owner was very fond of the animal and raised 1t. It worked faithfully for the man asl long as he lived. Al hia death his wife was loath to part with it but finally did so.
 Assuring herself that the horse of which her husband was go fond would have good home she allowed t to go out of her possession into the fam fly of q well-to-do citizen of q nearby town. There was an oral agreement that the horse should be kept until it's usefulness was over and that it should then be mereifully put out of the way But the man died. Whether or not the understanding was known to other members of the family may be questioned but the horse was sold 10 a dealer.
 Questionable Care
 Not long ago the dealer sold the horse to the present owner. This mnn. the Humane Society has had under surveillance. The agents have had one ease of cruelty against tho man but t was not pressed because the family is in such circumstances l that it is given aid. at least indirectly by officials. 1t was learned that the l present owner had no food for tho horse until someone temporarily pro vided for 1t. It Is the confident be lief. based on the treatment the mar gave a former horse, locking Ii in aI old barn and going off and leaving Il i that he will eventually De unable . give this old animal the care # dc serves.
 There are no facts Co warrant 1 charge of cruelty at the present tim and the Humane Society is powerlcss ! The society. as such, can not use it funds to purchase the horse. If | apparent that if this was done in on instance there would he many force' sales and the society would be con Stantly buying horses to destro them. The owner will sell the hors for $2G. If that amount can be raise and turned over to the Agent of th Humane Society the animal will D purchased and hHmanely put out O the way.
 The story Is one that holds an ap peal for those interested in the wei fare of dumb animals. It is unplcas ant 10 think of this faithful old hors being abused. it is because of we grounded fear that the animal vii suffer. that this appeal is made.
