THE FIvE-FIFTEEN

Do you recall long ago
 When you were about sixteen? The big climax of the day
 Was the arrival of the hve-nfteen In those days with the wild crowd Small things brought much pleasure; There was fun galore in that one-horse town And plenty to do at your leisure. In the afternoon about four o'clock You'd take a stroll down the street, Arm in arm with your very best chum For chocolate soda treat. At the corner drug the crowd was gathered You joked and said, Oh, you kid! Then along about five o'clock This is just what you did. Down to the depot the whole crowd hurried To see the evening express arrive, Hustle, hustle, grinding of wheels, Everything was sure alive. Sometimes friend got off the train Or prominent citizen was seen But everybody went down anyway To meet the hve-hfteen.

this area handled by the Heuten- ant governor, in fitting manner.
 Harm wants his cove registered and JensOn Is just as sure that those lOng-haired boys win miss Paradise and Flagg Swamp if we don't warn them in advance. The boys here don't care who signs the copy or gets the headlines but they want an accurate, factual registration of our place names in every library in Alnerica.
 There is some ground for the fear that lots of our places will be overlooked. Only a few people know all the names and fewer still can tell you where the names came from. Bridget Barry can probably be charged with naming Paradise because 1t was there that she met Steve and won his heart and garnet necklace. Bridget knew there was good soil in Para disc, too, and 4 the potato patch just over the fence from her cor ral turned out bigger and better tubers than ever sprouted in 2 Maine. *%
 Flagg Swamp doesn't show up as sponsored by anyone. George SignOr remembers when there were both Indians and fairies in FIagg Swamp. He claims that Charcoal Daisy always talked to fairies, after the sixth shot of felt boot cider, and the Indians made fife miserable for George by borrowing fire from his charcoal pits. es1
 Boxcar Annie could help the professors with ideas for names and their origin. Annie calls peo- pie names that will curl hair, and she probably has a special name for every briar patch along the Shepaug. Annie has done a lot of cruising, in her day, and the Saw Tooth country knows her just as fearfully as Howleys Bridge. ~.
 We always intended to get more local history from John Schielke, but John shuff1ed off and left Lit- tie York just about deserted be- fore we got around to finding him in . taIkative mood. John was one of those strong, silent men, a guy who dreamed a lot and never had much truck. with professors. Once, when a Yale prof came sn0Oping around Squeak Street after dead PO0tatucks, John stop ped dreaming long enough to call on The Law. The Yale prof was sent packing without more than three skeletons, but Q professor seeking place names might have better luck with our 0Id-timers.
 Peaceful Valley is another area that will probably be missed by the name hunters. It appears on no maps but it's c quarter section of romance and solitude that should be recorded. French Noun tain gets its name from the French troops that hiked this way when we made a leRse-lend pact with France to secure her assiet- ance in whipping the HFlEi1h. Lumberlnen on French Mountain were ordered out of the woods hy an old Tecluae with R shotgun.

 descriptive name.
 Pootatuck got Its name from the early inhabitants, 8 tribe of rather docile savages that managed all right until our people came and introduced them to the mystery of distilled honey and cider brandy. Pootatuck is locally known as Squeak Street today. The rlrnor has 1t that traders down that way are so tight they squeak when parting with goods or treasure, but the name probably came from the squeaking wagon wheels that rol- led up the valley before J. Edward Coer III made the lower. portion of the highway passable for motor vehicles.
 SOuthville got named because it was south OfsLittle, York. We have no. data on Ort0n Post Office, a One-time lively stop on the old Shepaug RaiirOad. Kettletown Is pure Indian. It was named when a local sharper talked the natives into trading the whole area off for g brass kettle that probably came from some junk pile. We had MOrmons at KettletOwn, Elmer Lewis made his pitch there, too, and tho German American Bund bought adjOlping land on GeOrge's Hill. Georges Hill was named for George Mclaughlin, D careful guy of Scotch ancestry who used tO go coon hunting up that way. HuIps Hill, now presided over by cur First Selectman, was likewise given its name by . family that has nov run out. Commodore Hull was 3 Derby boy and perhaps some of his people came up this way to get away from the liver naists.
 Those professors don't want to forget The Dingle and Black North. Sandy Hook and Muslxrat Plains are well known. White Oak is the region where George Holmes keeps his filling station open despite the phenagling proc lamations of those traders trying to corner the gas market, or social ize the petroleum industry. Bull let Hill has appeared in New York newspapers. Pennsylvania is the crossroads north of Pierce Hollow and Mapping is near the Russian Village.
 Telegraph Road is noteworthy ! for having not . single station where you can send . wire. Fierce Mellow has one Pierce left The Purchase was named because the piOneers wanted to make folks think they had bought 1t from the Indians. Strongtown was named either fer 8 family that lived there CT for the oder caused by decayed vegetation In . swamp cut that way. Mine EEill is a Cinch and anyone who has wrecked . cax go- ing inte Tophet knows where that name came from.
 Lyman Green will be glad to in- terview the professors and show them why Garnet Mines was nanl- cd. He charges a quarter to go in and pick up garnet crystals that are SO perfect they even have some on display in a Mexican mu- scum. Horse Hill is e high spot behind our defective hospital and Cow Hill was named because of superior pastureiands. East Hill is where the Canfields lived, and you1l travel far before you find a more slightly upland.
