Resolutions Adopted.
Whereas, the drouth off 1886 has
made it impossible for the farmer to
feed his stock through the winter.
And Whereas, the present setup
and channels through which relief
can be obtained and likewise the sums
appropriated to such relief appear ut
terly insufficient.
Therefore do we, the undersigned,
hn fnll and
hereby request that you do all in your
power to carry out the following reso-
lutions:
1. A blanket work project should
be set up in each township so that
every drouth stricken farmer should
be able to earn enough to care for
his family and carry his stock through
the winter and that the farmer should
be allowed to work reasonable dis
lance from home.
2 A direct grant for feed and seed
to be worked off later for those un-
able to work at present, or to be paid
back in kind.
3. The quota for Pine county, both
as far as money and man are con-
cerned, should be raised high enough
to meet the actual needs.
4. We demand to find out who are
governing decisions as to who are
eligible to receive relief, and demand
that the committee elected by this
meeting representing 80 townships
and several cooperative organizations
should be consulted whenever a farm
er claims he is Disseminated against.
All adopted.

Plenty or Laughs Among SouDenirs or Big Flood
Chairman

Like the blizzard of '88, the flood of '36 will furnish anecdotes for "the old timers" to tell for many 8 year to come, particularly on the part of employees of the State Highway department, who worked in the inundated areas. Many of these anecdotes, now coming to light as detailed reports from dis trict supervisors come in to de- partment headquarters, serve to show that not unlike most un- pleasant occurrences the flood had its freakish side.
 w. A. Spencer, maintenance dis trict supervisor in the district which includes towns along the southern part of the Connecticut River, is in somewhat of a quan- diary as to what to do with some of the flotsam to which the high way department fell heir as 8 result of the flood. Washed onto highway property were all sorts of houses and farm buildings, and some of them are as yet unclaim- ed by the owners.
 Cat Survives
 He reports that houses and barns broken from their founda- tions in Cromwell and whereabouts were carried across the meadows and lodged on the Cromwell-Mid- dletown highway.

 BANS OPERATION
Peter AIbini Prefers to Re- turn to Native Land;
 Given Compensation

CHURCH AWAITS
 MINSTREL SHOW
Bridget O'Flynn's Debut to Be Given By St.
 Thomas Players

A little late this year but certainly better late than never comes the an- nouncement of the annual minstrel show of St. Thomas parish. Last year the cast invited us to see what happened When Charlie Was Mar ried,p and this year they invite us to Bridget O'Flynn's Debut" Brid- get O'Flynn is making her debut at the Waterbury Women's club on Wednesday, April 29th. She gets into many difficulties in the process but because she's as Irish as Dublin she gets there and the director promises that the audience will be entertained grandly as they watch Bridget in her difficulties.
 The general chairman of the af- fair is Rev. Joseph F. Donnelly and the director is afable Cliff McHale, known as mayor of the north end, who so successfully directed so many minstrel shows at St. Thomas church, notably the show "Jigging for the Judge" presented by the children of the school and broad cast over WATR last fall.
 The cast of about seventy-five young men and women have been rehearsing for the past six weeks and are now taking on the style which they hope will make them equal the splendid performance of last year. The Soloists include some of Waterburys leading sing CTS and to vary the program sev- eral musical novelties have been ar- ranged. The dancing end of the program is under the capable di- rection of Miss Imelda Casey. The program is in charge of Father Don- nelly assisted by Thomas McHale, Catherine Hyland, Statia McAvoy, William Byrne, Anna Spellman, Anna McAvoy, Theresa Fleming, John Mayo, Julia Byrne, Helen Spellman, Edna Smith, Margaret Van Wnvpnnr

BAD FIRE IN PORTLAND

Portland. Conn.,, April 8.--(UP)-- Fire, famed by high wind, start cd today in the Emmons undertak- ing parlor and for time threatened the lower Main street business sec- ton.

The amount of damage was not estimated.

house with a full complement of furniture. Power boats were plen- tiful, and one of them was found lodged in the crotch of a tree. Another barn was filled with hay which had to be removed in order to rescue the building. During the process, out jumped gray house cat, which must have been in the building at least a week. Members of the department crew tried to coax and feed the animal, but she was either too frightened to eat or had 8 complete disdain for ac- cepting relief.
 Men in MT. Spencer's district are still removing garage doors, sections of verandas, barn doors, window sash and even baby car- riages from telegraph poles, wires and cables. Between the highway department and the railroad there is almost any kind of shed or gar- age that one could ask for, tnclud- ing a wide and varied assortment of "Chick Sales" handiwork. Yes, there are even a few pianos avail able although 1t is doubtful if they will ever play again.
 Force of Current
 A flight of stairs with 8 large section of flooring attached was found placed by the flood upon @ huge oil tank in such a manner that one might easily have as- cended by the stairs to the top of the tank.
 The department garage at Ches- ter was baidly hit by the angry waters, the power of which was demonstrated by the finding of a 400-pound drum of paving mater ial, which had been in the gar- age, at Old Saybrook at the mouth of the river. This drum could not have floated, 50 it must have been carried by the current at the bottom of the river.

.STARM0DEL HOME
IS SEEN BY 2,5OO
First Days Crowds Enthusi-
aStic Over Reproduction of
Washington Birthplace.

Some 2,50o homelovers took time
out from Easter Sunday activities and
visited the second Silver Star Home
for 1886, at 1910 Sudbury road, the
Colouial Village, when the modified
reproduction of Wakefield, Washing
tons birthplace, was opened to public
inspection yesterday for the first time.
Favorable comments on the ar
tistically planned house were fire.
quently heard as the visitors walked
through the spacious rooms The
house was furnished by Hutchinson s,
Inc, and built by Arthur j. Dinger.
1t is presented by Edison w. Briggs
under the sponsorship Of The Star.
Based on yesterdays crowd, plans
are being made today to receive a
record number of visitors during the
80 days in which the house will be
open.
The Star home has been scaled
down proportionately from the famous
Westmoreland County homestead, but
the main portion of the house is a
reproduction Of the Washington house,
to which has been added a rear wing
accommodating a two-car garage with
bed room above.
The walls are of oversize hand
made brick: the grapevine mortar
joint, characteristic of early Virginia
homes, is used in the masonry work.
The Silver Star house Is the third
of a series of reproductions in the
Colonial Village of Rock Greek Park
Estate.
The first was Moore House at
Yorktown, where Lord CORVALLIS
surrendered to Gen. Washington, and
the second was reproduction Of the
house where Washington made his
Valley Forge headquarters.
