Despite the intense heat, there was a goodly gathering of Junior Mechan- ics at the twenty-third anniversary exercises in Jr. O. U. A. M. hall last evening when the occasion was fitting- ly observed with a banquet. Hon. Frederick Chamberlain, a member of the lodge and the eldest son of the late Valentine B. Chamber- lain, in whose honor Chamberlain council was named, acted as toast- master and presided in a pleasing manner. Among those who responded with after dinner speeches were Mayor George A. Quigley, Secretary A. H. Andrews of the Chamber of Commerce and E. B. Crofoot, state councilor. Mayor Quigley congratulated the lodge upon its splendid standing and said that it is an organization of which the city has occasion to feel proud. He also paid a tribute to the late V. B. Chamberlain in whose honor the local council was named. Secretary Andrews spoke at some length on the order, and as he former state official in the Massachu- setts lodge he was able to introduce some personal elements into his talk. State Councilor Crofoot said that he Wwas more than pleased with the show- ing made by the New Britain lodge and declared that this branch is be- ing held up as a model all over the state. At present it has the largest membership and it is steadily growing, thanks to the deep interest and hard work of its members. The Rev. War- ren F. Cook, pastor of Trinity Meth- odist church, was the other speaker of the eveniag and proved a most en- tertaining one. His talk was informal | and tinged with that personal element | that made it the more interesting.
