Stratford reports the season opener, a large open veranda dance at Protatuck Yacht Club Friday evening, expected to be among the largest ever, with Governor’s complimentary event for members and friends. Nearby, estate matters involve Mrs F W Palmer of North Main inheriting $5,000 and western land. Fire dispatch issues reveal a Stratford barn blaze near Avenue A was nearly lost due to delayed Bridgeport contact, while local crews saved adjacent structures. Chief Judson learned of the fire only after telephoning to confirm its location, sparking calls for better alarm procedures.
