MILK SUPPLY

Many Norwalkers For-

’ Usual Quantity From
Distributors.

FARMERS STALLED

Every Effort Is Being
Made To Break Way
Through C o u at r y
Highways.

The Norwalk Dairy company, Cen-
tre street. reports that only half of

the usual supply of milk was de~
livered today. The roads in the vici-

 

 

 

nity of Ridgoflcld and Brunchvllle‘

are not as yet ope-nod and the far-
mers in that vicinity are unable to
send their milk to Norwalk.

One-half the regular quantity
was delivered to local customers to-
day and every effort is being made
to secure a full supply for tumor-
row. Special efforts are made to
supply families with small children.

Nearly the entire day yesterday
was required to open a roadway near
Cannondalo about a block long. Lost
at lit, a quantity ,of milk arrived

orwslk by train.
Today the dairy company is plan-

. Mason—“mi!-
‘ ning to send trucks to meet for-

mer's teams which will work towards
Not-walk as far as possible.

According to reports board at the
dairy company, Norwalk's condition
is much better than that in other
cities nearby.
celve half of their usual milk supply
are not making any complaints and
seem to understand every effort is
being made to secure the full sup-
ply. .

Wempe's Farm dairy in West Nor-
walk also reported that little milk
could be secured. Deliveries today
were only made to a few lunch rooms
and stores and no homes were taken
care of. Yesterday the delivery was
in good shape as mil}: could be‘ob-
mined from Ridgefleld stannondale,
Branchviile and a to other towns.
but today no milk co id be secured
from the towns. Fritters in the
vicinity of these town have not been
able to transport their milk over the
roads. It is expected the roads will
be opened in time to secure enough

 

milk for delivery tomorrow to all its
customers.

The most-successful Lincoln Day
banquet ever held by the Norwalk
Catholic Club was last. evening's
dinner at the Royal James Inn. 'Al-
though these banquets have beeh
held regularly for the past 29 years.
few have had such speakers as Pa-
draic Colum, irlsliwpoet and drama-
tist. Professor Harry Morgan Ayers
and Father Ernest Wilson. to ad-
dress them. There were nearly 200
present. ,

Many of the members of the club
seated about the tables. have at-
tended every annual banquet but it
was the universal opinion. that the
1926 banquet outshone all ofner gs.-
therings, due chiefly. to the sincere
and excellent speakers that were
heard following the banquet. The
men were reluctant to June the
speakers finish. s5‘interestirg and
so inspiring were their addresses.

John Wehle was ‘n good :voice.
and led in the singing of favorite
melodies. Volk's Society orchestra
furnished music during the dinner.

Those treated at the speaker's
table were Martin McDouough. the
popular president of the Catholic
Club. of Attorney Edward J. Quin-
ion the capable toastmaster; the
Rev. Ernest Wilson, of Bridgeport
the principal speaker. whose ad-
dress greatly appealed -to the men:

is able to advise the parents as to

Second Selectman 'eltord G.

to quit because they found they
could not push the snow. The road-

lives nonl- the center of the town.

The youngster was taken sick
two weeks ago. Dr. Phillips said
she recovered from measles. but
bronchial pneumonia developed.
Yesterday morning the child was

It was thought that the hospital
would be the best place for her. but
when the road was blocked it was
decided to treat her at home.

This morning the child's temper-
ature had gone down. while her
eyes had cleared up and it is be-
lieved that she is well on the road
to recovery. The youngster also
look some nourishment today.

The entire county watched the de-

Makes l~‘ull Confession
At first Newton denied knowing
‘anylliing about any of the robl’mres
lbut allot iii-lug questioned (ti longili

inlete confession.
l He told the police that he
lsnatcliod the pm-kml'look from
shands of Miss Edith Brown while
lsho was walking in Maple slrr‘nt
labout 9:30 o‘clock on the mum of
{February ll. After snatching the
:pocketbook he ran up the bill leads
jlng from Maple street. As he ran
Ealong he opened the pocketbook and
tlook out the $11.50 in cash and tho
2 handkerchief containing the six
diamond rings. [10 then run through
the yard of the home of Seymour
(‘urtls in Elm Crest Terrace and
,threw the pocketbook containing
two bankliooks and some bond cou-
pons in the yard. Detective Ser-
geant Roberts and Patrolman .’.i-
bcrt Fraser went there this morning
but were unable to find the pocket-
book. lt has born covered with
snow.

It is thought by the police that
Newton visited the Butler store in
Main street shortly before closing
time last Saturday evening and
pointing a pistol at Peter Clark. the
manager. told him to hand over
the day's receipts. Clark told him
that the manager had taken them
away and that there was no cash
in the store. Upon hearing this the
burglar left the store. (‘lark after
viewing the pistol found on Newton
identified it as the one that the
burglar pointed at him on Saturday
night.

Newton admitted that he went
to the Modern Grocery Company's
store in (‘cdur street and gained in-
trance by breaking out the glass in
the rear door of the store. He took
$350 and some checks which were
concealed in a paper carton.

Slept in School

He went from there to the Frank-
lin school and gained entrance from
the fire escape. Taking a cot from
the teacher's room he slept. there
during the remainder of the night
and left early the next morning for
Stamford.

As he walked through Taylor ave-
nue on his way to the South Nor-
waik railroad station to get s. train
for Stamford he tobk a number of
checks taken from the Modern Gro-
cery Company's store and tore them
up throwing the pieces in the road-
way in front of the home of John
Benjamin the President of the Mod-
ern Grocery Company.

It is thought that. Newton was
one of the five men that, entered the
Modern Grocery's Company store in
Taylor avenue about a rear ago and
after holding the clerk up at the
point of a gun made good their cs-
cape with nearly $3M in cash.

The police are of the opinion that
Newton watched the manager of
