Newtown plans a town Fourth of July celebration with a concert, honoring roll of honor and speeches by Rev. W. J. Lusk, followed by refreshments and dancing in the village hall.

Bethel Hat Shops Are Closing Down
Bethel, Julius (Snecal.)- Bethel suffers wartime slowdown as factories close and hat shops dwindle from over twenty to two in rough operation. Silk shortages hit Bethel silk mills with 100 workers out of work until supplies resume. Local businesses shutter, jobs depart, and 100 vacant houses loom as residents seek work elsewhere. The Bethel garage opens a new building and Knights of Columbus plan a meeting. Several Bethel residents, including Remington Arms and Shaffer workers, are mentioned among those visiting home on furlough or relocating.
