 The shocks were recorded at the University of Washington at 1O:1l D. m. and 10:2O D. m. CPST), Prof. George E. Goodspeed said. A third shock. of believed lesser intensity, was recorded this forenoon but the machine will not te read for some hours as the tremors persisted, he added
 The Dominion Astro-Physical Ob- servatory at Little Saanich Noun tain, B C., reported the quakes as of well-defined intensity and prob ably occurred in Queen Charlotte Sound off the northern tip of Van couver Island, Dr. K O. Wright said
 We could set their distance from Seattle as about 800 miles because of the difference in recordings be- tween the primary and secondary waves. Dr Goodspeed said The direction, however, was not cer- tain"

Take Care of Your Social Security Card

Your social security card repre- sentS your insurance policy with the United States Government un- der the OLD-AGE AND SURVIV- ORS INSURANCE system. It stands for protection for you and your family when you retire after 65 or for your family when you die.
 Don't lose or misplace your card!
 Keep the stub, which comes at tached to your social security card, some place at home where you can find it should you lose your card; or where your family can find it should they need to file for sur VivOrS benefits.
 You will need your social se- curity card-
 1. When you report to work on, new job. Show your social security card to your new employ CT so that he can copy your name and social security number on his payroll records exactly as they ap- pear on your card. This will help the Social Security Board keep your social security account straight.
 2. When you or your family file a claim for old-age and survivors insurance benefits. Bring your so- cial security card with you to your local Social Security Board office.
 For information on old-age and survivors insurance visit your To- cal social security board office, lo- cated at Pos tOffice Building, New London, Conn.

Stassen's Hopes Fade

Former Governor Harold Stassen of Minnesota is grinding his axe now for the kill in 1948. His back ing of dubious anti-laibor men such as Gov. Thye, who defeated Labor's candidate, Sen. ShipStead, up for reelection, brings hope anew in the breast of this So-called, self styled liberal to pick the Presi- dential nomination plum at the Re- publican Presidential Convention, next year.
 However, it is rumored that in spite of any of Stassen's grandstand attempts to impress the National Republican leaders, Republi- can dark horse" will be nomin- ated on the third ballot and the gentleman'S name is NOT SPAS SEN. He is possibly the only can didate who could find favor from both Labor and Management in- terests.
 This paper has been interested in the dark horse' Senator's ca reer, both in the Senate and as an outstanding Governor in his home state, where it was necessary for him to carry the Democratic party votes as well as Labor votes in order to become elected.
 It is our prognosticatiop that if Labor decides the last minute to bolt the Democratic Party, 1t will be to follow the Non-Partisan ban ner of this progressive Republican!

CrOtOn Consumers Cooperative
By Charles Chapman

let's say a few words about the Groton Consumers Cooperative. On Friday evening, June 28th, there was meeting called at the Borough Hall on School Street, Groton, for the purpose of forming Con- sumers Cooperative here at Gro ton. There were several speakers and after the speakers there was question and answer program which was the beginning of the new CO., operative here.
 There was working committee appointed at that time, also a temporary treasurer, and a tenn porary secretary. The committee ap- pointed was as follows: Treasurer, Paul Julious; secretary, Mrs Pasco; working committee, Chairman Charles Chapman, James Mckinley, James Chaplin, Malcolm Wilson, Ralph Rockwell
 I could write several columns in this paper telling you what a CO., operative store is and what you gain by buying shares in a CO., operative but my thinking is that what you read you soon forget, but what you see and hear you take to heart and do lot more thinking about; so I am not going to take up too much space in our paper at this time
 The one thing that l want to bring to you now is that there will be another meeting of the Groton Consumers Cooperative on Weo- nesday evening, July 28, at D. m. at the Col. Ledyard School on Chicago Avenue, Groton. At, this meeting you will hear some very good speakers plus couple of nov ing pictures and there will be some of the cooperative goods on dis play that can be bought so you may try the goods at your own home.
 The expenses of this meeting are paid for by your working com mittee and We hope we are not spending our money just to have a

few at the meeting. Come on and all bring your wives, your neigh bors, your friends and any one you can. The meeting is open to all regardless to race, creed, or nation ality; every one is welcome and all questions will be answered. For any one that is interested but can not attend this meeting drop a card to Charles Chapman, Benham Road, Groton, RED Box, and l will have one of the committee call at your house and explain co-op- erative to you in full detail. Don't forget July 28th, 8 p. m., Col. Led yard School, GrOtOn. Be CO-Opera- tive 1OO%!

Masonic Notes

MdSOnlc NOCcS
 It is highly regrettable that in our issue of July 4th the name of one of our outstanding Groton merchants, MT. Godfrey Patton, was omitted in the roster of 1946 of Union Lodge No. 31, A. F. & A. M of New London.
 Otto Ruedel should have been listed as Senior Deacon, and MT. Patton as Junior Deacon.
 The Groton side of the river is taking on very busy look; from the Groton Point Beach to the old bridge slip there seems to be great activity in changing the map value and port significance of Groton Although there's much more to be done.
 It Is rumored that Groton at least will not listen synpathetically to the appeals of New London for aid financial and otherwise in building breakwater to increase New London's value as "port in a storm" for yachtsmen. It is of small value to Grotonites to aid New London in her Playground ac- tivities ... The lack of protest made by the Harbor Development Commission at the New London Tapestry raid upon $5,700 of it's working funds seemed to prove that either the committee was asleep, or at least not WIDE AWAKE IN ITS DESIRE TO INCREASE THE COMMERCIAL VALUE OF OUR GROTON-NEW LONDON HAR- BOR FACILITIES as joint project Committee members take

lpopulace, who so easily forget who made such a project possible are thoroughly enjoying the facilities of the Groton Point Beach that will remain unnamed until some like ly streamlined title can be thought up.
 At the unofficial opening on July 4th, there was n-eStimated 600 on the beach, but one week later at the height of the swimming hours between 2 D. m. and 3 p. m. there were at least three times that
 many week-enders who were en- toying the complete facilities from the children's wading beach, fishing off the rocks, to the main sandy beach where swimmers stunned themselves on the sand between swins
 To wax enthusiastic over this new adjunct to the Borough facilities is the easiest thing in the world, as even the richards who opposed it in the beginning are only too ready to admit.
 Vito DeNoia, president of the Non-Partisan League, is still ada mant in his stand that the Non- Partisans, whose efforts at an earl fer Borough caucus put the Beach Plan over in spite of almost in- surmountable objections and op- position from the New Borough Party, should have a better repre- sentation on the Beach Board There is a great deal of logic in this stand, especially in regard to summer blue nose member, who is not even voter in our precinct. We understand that the new chairman of the Beach Board is asking the Volunteer Bremen to stand by Saturdays and Sundays to offer their services free for first aid in accident, or near drowning cases. Their services will of course be free, as we trust will be the first aid medical services performed by the Chairman of the Board ..
 The Beach which is about to have installed it's diving raft is taking on an ideal resort air, the dressing booths for both men and women when they are completed will give finishing touch to the Beach. These dressing booths will be avail able shortly at the old Tyler resi- dence.
 The pressure of the Parent Teach- CT Associations and the Non-Parti- san League has borne fruit in the granted raise to Groton Teachers .. EDGECOMBE-POPPE'S Store at 223 Thames Street has again changed hands The new owner MT. Joseph Cherrnay, wants all Groton residents to know that this old Groton landmark under his management will continue the neighborly, friendly gathering place atmosphere created during MT.
