NAUGATUCK Local Patrolman Is
 Suspended By Chief
Anthony Farrar Charged With Conduct Unbecomng an
 Oficer-Children Enjoy Fellowcraft Show

Chief of Police John Adamson has
 suspended Patrolman Anthony Far
 Tar on charges of conluct unbecom- ing an officer, pending 8 hearing by the board of warden and burgess ses at their monthly meeting on
 next Tuesday evening.
 Officer Farrar was suspended last Sunday evening when he returned to the borough after two weeks ab-
 sence, but it was not officially an- nounced until last night.
 While Chief Adamson nor Warden Green wiuld make any announce ment as to the specific charges against the officer, it is reported that there are two counts which he will
 be asked to answer to with possibly more before the hearing is held. One of the charges will be absenting him. self from the borough without the consent of his superiors, the other charge is reported to be of a serious nature. The first charge is sufficient for the department head to bring charges, for the police rules of the borough forbid an officer to be ab- sent from town without the consent of the chief or warden. Officer Far rar it is stated left the borough @ few weeks ago without mentioning it to the police heads. The officer it is said had been under the care of Dr E. B. Williams who advised him it is reported, to take leave of absence from his duties. One story related is that Officer Frarrar reported to Officer Vincent Skelly on desk duty at headquarters that he was goin off duty, and another is that Officer Farrar thought the physician would file report with the the police that the officer should have a leave of absence. That Officer Frarrar made any report to the de- partment that he was going to leave

Sketch of a porcupine.

There is good reason not to touch the spines. They have barbs, which will pierce the flesh, but the old story that porcupines can shoot their quills, is not true. Remain out of touching distance, and you will be safe.
 The hair of porcupines is spread over the body amidst the quills. Ii it were not for the hairy coats, win ter winds would cause great trouble for many porcupines live in cold climates.
 The homes of porcupines are often made under lodges of rock, in the hollows of trees, or in holes dug in the ground. They also eat apples leaves, twgs and seeds.
 During winter many porcupincs crawl into their homes and sleep for long periods, while snow falls and winds howl outside.
 The Canadian porcupine is the best-known member of the family in. North America. He is a hardy animal. and has very sharp quills. In former times Indians in Canada often dyed the quills and then fast ened them to clothing.
 All porcupines have tails, but in many cases the tail is partly hidden by long quills. In South America there are porcupines with strong tails which can be used for clinging to the limbs of trees.
 The name "porcupine" is made up from two old French words, and means "spiny porker" or "spiny pig" The animal makes a grunting noise, but otherwise has little or no kim ship with the hog family.
