Bill GarriguS writes that POmperaug COca-C Cola has, a diff ferent flavor than the New ROch- elIe brand and he's right. Every thing up here has a different flavor. Our courts are better, our skunkS are stronger and have a longer range, our ministers deliver more lengthy sermons, and mo- body who drinks our felt boot cider is ever again satisfied with mint juleps or catnip tea. South Britain has lot on everybody.
 Ed Lewis is quite enthused over his appointment as New Rochelle contact man. Judge Otto seems to think our choice happy one and happy to report that MT. Lewis is as steady and accurate in re- porting the news at the late Elmer Lewis, of Kettletown used to be in shooting deer out of season.
 Our sympathy goes out to Uncle Jim Cassidy. The Cassidy barn and silO burned, mp there in Bethlehem, just the other day. If Jim Cassidy doesn't rate a softer berth in Para disc than almost any farmer we know, then our sights are out-of line and the range is wrong. Carry on, Uncle Jina. They can't lick an TriShman!
 Glancing over the advertising of Wheel Inn, the new hostelry just opened in Pierce Hollow, we have discovered why the place isn't better patronized. The ads list Southbury as the location of this excellent eating place. Wheel Inn is in South Britain. Mighty few people know where Southbury is; they know about South Britain even in England.
 Want a good racket? It's legal, and 1t pays dividends. The Well come Wagon Racket Is worked overtime in many towns where the new national defense program is underway. Newcomers are visited by a comedy dame in, a car loaded with samples from every store in the area. Smiles, and sales talk plus the samples, attract a con- siderable trade for the merchants participating. The woman who runs the Welcome Cart gets a commission on accounts opened by the new arrivals. What the trades men forget is that they'd get the business anyway. People have to eat and wear clothing, whether the Welcome Wagon rolls their way or not.
 Tip! :. Watch the WPA trying to elbow its way into U. S. o. ac- tivity. The reliefers are worrying about their jobs, so they are alert and pushing even for the smallest part in the national defense work.
 Bill Wilcox Is reported as posing for an artist who lives up back of the defective hospital. Bill is a dead ringer for one of those guys in Tobacco Road. A few years ago, this same artist used one Guthrie Luf in . huntsman scene. Guthrie Iugged around . dead rabbit and looked ferocious with . shotgun and snowsh0es. Bill will be able to pose naturally.
 Bob Platt. has decided to resign as an attendant at the State Training School to devote all his time to agriculture. It's a late start but better late than never.
 You can't scare a Yankee. Edicts and proclamations just get his back up. He resentS regimentation. He has to be shown, and 1t takes . tough guy to show him.
 When you are motoring after ' p. lla., and the tourists with you want to travel another hundred miles on low gas supply, just roll down here to see George Holmes. George sells gas all hours and if one Harold Ickes frightens George into closing up shop at sundown, he will have to unlimber some stiff fer arguments than he has used thus far. George claims he's a bet ter American than MT. Ickes, and a lot of people we know are of the same mind. Holmes figures that we are not yet ready to wear a yoke, so his stand just down the road from where stout hearted Yankees stopped building dam. in order to answer the Lexington Alarm, George keeps on pumping gasoline long after the Ickes Gas CgrFeW has gone into effect.
