Old Landmark Is Torn Down

NaugmtuclE, July 1T--A bOr. ough landmark was torn down this morning, and it definitely marked the end of an old era here. This was Barney Van Ness blacksmith shop on Church street which i'm the dig. nlfied 's0's did much business but which was sold recently i'm order to make way for the con- structlon of a large building which will house 2 number of stores.
 Work on clearing the prem- ises for the construction of Che building has begun and the blacksmith shop was among the first thing to go. It was torn down this morning and work men were busy disposing of the debris.
 MT. Van Ness is a we'll known local figure. For years he has had . cheery greeting for all who knew him and even in rec cent years his blacksmith shop, with It's glowing furnace and smoking implements was 8 place of mystery and awe for young sters.
 It is expected work on the new building will proceed at . rapid pace soon.

STREET DEPT.
 MAY DO SEWER INSTALLATION
Federal Ruling May Pre- vent Use of WPA Labor
 for Jobs

Naugatuck, July 1T. - The borough faces the problem of using it's street department men on installation of storm sewers here because of a gov ernment order which pro hibits WPA employees from working on anything but de- fense or sidewalk projects, Warden Leo J. Brophy has announced. There are no defense projects here and there are two WPA sidewalk proj- ects at present, one on Quinn street, the other on Aetna street.
 As a result work on the storm sewers will probably be delayed temporarily at least until the town workers can complete other work at hand. Warden Brophy pointed out a storm sewer of about 2,000 feet in length is needed on Chestnut street.
 A number of applications for walks have been received and they vii lbe installed as soon as possible.

"I don't believe it," Jon was
ever practical. ''But it's a pretty

it's an illusion it can do you

Gillian" he said. Lets sit. I do,
truly, find it hard to talk, now

went over to the wrought-iron
bench and sat down. He was sill
ent for a while as if looking for
words with which to begin. She
felt no stirring in her heart, nc
nervousness, no treacherous be-
wilderment. That was as it should
be.

'You don't really thank me"
After brief look at him, at his
dark face in the moonlight, she
gazed off over the water at the
deep mystery of the forest.
my instinct was to refuse. I
hated to think that you should
have anything to do with-with
even the poor things Jaffry left.
How can you bear even the men
ton of his name, without think
ing that you might have stretched
out a hand to help him, and did
not? How can you-?"
II can't-that's the answer"
She stood up, facing him, her
head thrown back, her arms
straight at her sides. 81 can't hear
his name without suffering a pri-
vate hell Of my own. So I won't
hear it, not from you, not from
anyone. He's dead now. Some
times I think he's better off than
I am. At least, he has some rest,
some peace. I know you hate me
for what you think I did to him.
Who are you to condemn me? I
want you to know it doesn't mat
ter to me-"
81 wouldn't. I didn't expect it
to. You are the glamorous Gillian
Meade. Men break their necks-
and their hearts - running after
you. The great Jonathan Hillyer
loves you gazes on you with
adoring eyes. You'll be his dar-
ling. Perhaps when you're in his
arms he will change to someone
else-perhaps to boy who was
fool enough to think he loved
you"
She could listen to no more.
She brushed past him, ran blind
1y, stumblingly, up the jetty and
| through the silver and shadow of
the woods. She heard joins voice
calling, GILLIAN! Where are you,
Gillian?"
She did not answer. She would
not have Jon see her like this,
painting, breathless, as if she had
been pursued by fiends. She cow
cred in the shadow of a pine
trunk and stayed there, quiet as
the night, until joins voice re-
coded.
She walked slowly back to the
lodge. She was all right now. AL
most, she could laugh at Simon's
verbal flagellations.
Hello, Jon," she called gayly
when she saw him coming down
from the verandah.
"And where were you? hunt
ed everywhere"
ooh, I was a little girl lost in
the woods and the cruel, wicked
giant found me-or maybe it was
the wolf-anyway he tried to COB
BILE me up. So I ran and ran and
when I heard you / was so out
of breath that I could not an
swer."
Jon laughed. He drew her arm
through his. "Come on, Gillian,
let's get closer to that moon"
"Let's go all the way to the
moon," she amended. "And stay
there"
They strolled down towards the
lake by another path.
The moonlight was still lovely
on Lac St.-Cloud. A road of
shimmering silver S tr e t h d
across the water and her feet
were on the very edge of that
roads beginning. Yet she might
never walk on it. The night wind
had come, signing in the pines;
poplar leaves rustled their eternal
rustling- little, whispering, lone
some voices. She shivered. Jon
bent to her solicitously: II should
have brought a wrap for you,
Gillian. Shall we 60 back and get
one?"
"Please, no. I'm not cold"
