What's Going On In Town?
What's going on at the movies? What's happening in any of the surrounding towns? What's your brother Elks and Odd Fellows and Masons and Red Men and Knights and neighbors doing? Who's dead, who's wed and who's come newly into this world of joy and sorrow? What's the farmer and the manufacturer doing? What's new in local sports? What's new in government and politics? What do "They Say" on the corner and in the stores? Who's who in Putnam and Windham County? What, in fact, is the news of Putnam for the week?
The Putnam Patriot Tells You!
We call such photos evidence of a mean disposition.
That
But, any way, we are allergic to heat. Now there!
If you have never been a Santa Claus, you've missed something special.
We know a fellow in Pomfret who was St. Nick twice in one day and took it all so seriously that on Christmas eve he hung up his stocking and then was disappointed because it wasn't filled.
Sam has decided to stick to serving beer and leave detecting to Dick Tracy.
He claims it was all a case of mistaken identity.
After all everybody's likely to make a mistake.
If there is no They Say column next week, blame it on New Year's Eve.
Congress should pass a law making the New Year's celebration last for a week.
Then we could all return to our work-a-day duties with a light heart, a clear head—and probably a depleted bank roll.
The Patriot wishes you a Happy New Year, in spite of the fact that the observance of its inception lasts only for a day.
It wishes all Putnam, health, prosperity and progress.
And now, all hail 1941.
