Meeting Postponed
The scheduled meeting Of the
League of Women Voters which
was to be held tonight in the chill
dren's library, has been postponed,
it was announced to-day. The
president of the local league, Mrs
Edna Fenniman, is confined to her
home with illness and the sched-
uled speaker, Mrs Marion Dakin
of Thomaston, will not be able TO
be present, it Is understood. The
snowfall is the barrier. No def
mite date for the meeting has yet
been set.
Sliding Banned
Some children of the borough
were disgruntled to-day following
prohibition of sliding in the bor-
ough temporarily by orders of
Acting Warden Leo Brophy and
Chief of Police John Adamson, but
most were reconciled to it as they
realized the ban was put on only
to prevent accidents to children
Parents understanding this also
helped the police in most cases by
forbidding their children to slide.
1t was pointed out by Mr. Brophy
that the streets are plowed for one
way traffic only and if sliding oc-
ours, autos cannot turn out to
avoid them. Again where there is
room for both to pass, the slippery
condition OF the road which is now
hidden by deceptive layer Of
snow, might result in the auto
skidding directly into the child on
the sled. Because of these unusual
conditions sliding was prohibited
on all streets in the borough. AS
moved sliding will be allowed
again. Warden Whittemore some
months ago permitted sliding on
several streets in town but it is
felt that in view of the present
conditions he would concur in the
prohibition order ii he were here.
Cooperation of all parents is
asked by the officials.
The funeral of Dorothy Selle,
four months old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs Walter Selle of 26 Pros
pect street, who died yesterday
aftnoon was held this afternoon at
| O'Clock from the home. Burial
was in st James cemetery.
More Snow To-uay
Residents were wondering early
this morning if the blizzard of last
week were to be repeated. Snow
was again falling steadily to-day
and it had fallen yesterday after
noon starting at 2 o'clock and had
continued through most Of last
night.
Borough workers, who were lust
about making considerable head
way against the blizzard, to-day
were starting to again clean up the
present snow in the main sections
in order that this snowstorm. if it
turns out to be d blizzard, VIII not
get the jump on them.
About eight inches of snow had
fallen and in some places the snow
had drifted. In view of the fact
that man ywalks had ice covering
before the latest storm because of
the rain which fell last week,
walking was to-day very treacIer-
Gus because the icy patches were
covered by the new snow.
Local workers were busy yester-
day continuing to remove snow.
| Trucks were dumping tons and tons
Satuf day and Sunday. The snow
of snow into the Naugatuck river
was dumped onto the DalIKs near
the Memorial bridge and workers
shoVeled part of it into the river.
The pump at the fire house was
used yesterday to force the snow
into the river with water being snot
at the snow. There We're many in
terested spectators on the bridge
yesterday when this was going on.
Inc weather was extremely cold
Sunday morning being four below
zero at O'Clock in some parts
but it had moderated considerably
to-day, being about 16 above at !
O'Clock th,s morning.
