CENSUS WORKERS BEGIN SECOND WEEK Storm Depletés Yolunteer Ranks This Morning Census taking is going busily on and before the week is ended so will the work be, according to those in charge of the local headquarters in City hall. This morning’s storm kept many volunteers from the office, but more were on hand this afternoon and it is expected that the office force this evening will be complete. Saturday was by far the busiest day at the headquarters in City hall since the taking of the military cen- sus began, Over one hundred per- sons were - actively engaged in' office work performing some special task. | and those who worked morning and : afternoon felt, when 5 o’clocki came . that they had done a day’s work. It was one continuous grind and hustls for everyone and all displayed a spirit which bespoke that each one was living up to the siogan “my best service for city, Mayor George A. Quigley who has kept in close touch with thé work, looked in dt the large force of volun- teers sevegal times during the day. He is enthusiastic in praise over -the manner in which the cdensus has been received in New Britain. Owing te the fact that so many persons came to volunteer their ser- wices for office work it was discovered that there was not room enough to accommodate all in the headquarters proper. As soon as the mayor learned of this he very graciously turned over the use of his , office, which was quickly occupled by sev- eral pretty young ladies who felt they were accorded a special privilege in being there. Chairman A. F. Corbin is delighted with the headway made during the past week. He spoke in the highest terms of the manner in which every- body was doing his or her part to accomplish the end sought for as quickly as possible. “Those young men and women,” he said, pointing to a group of high school students, “would serve Uncle Sam in the hour of need just as read- ily and enthusiastically as soldlers and nurses as they give their service here.”” Those who have had charge of the census taking, whether in factory, store or office, have found that the real American spirit is not dead by any means, as some people would have the public believe. The spirit of the high school students, or like the Boy Scouts, in giving their service to a cause like this census taking, only re- flects the sentiment of their elders. It matters not whether one was born under a foreign flag, if he is a cit- izen, he is an American and has ths American spirit. Nothing in the his- tory of thig country has better proven this fact than this census taking which is the outcome of Governor Marcus H. Holcomb's preparedness message before the joint convention of the general assembly of the state on February 6. Everybody who is an ) American is proud of the fact. Ali want to be Americans. Under the stars and stripes dweil a people of allclasses and creeds who only need #0 be shown that their country is in need of their service to preserve it, to cause them to rally to the colors as Americans—and brothers. If that time comes the whole world will in truth realize what Americanism . Corbin deemed it best to only keep the headquarters open Saturday evening to accommodate those who desired to go there to fiill out their blanks. H. W. Briere was in charge of the office and aided many to fill out their papers properly, It is again requested that every man in the city who has not already filled out a blank, to come to the headquarters when state and natfon.” | taking | Carlson, T.

JONES FILES RESIGNATION Assistant to Rector Bodley at St. Marit’s. Church is to Return “to Middle West. Rev. Carlos E. Johes, for the past three years assistant to Rector Harry {I. Bodley at St. Mark's Episcopal church, has tendered his resignation | which will take effect on May 1 aad ! after the completion of his duties will return to his- home in' the middle west. |After six years® éxperiences in 'the ministry, Rev. Mr. Jones came to this city on November 30, 1913, and during his work has shown a willing- ness to do his best in a manner that !has been highly pleasing to his con- | gregation. i Rev. Mr. Jones was born in Inde- § where his relatives | ithake their home at the present time.:| | pendence, Ohio, { After hig initial training he came eist {and entered Trinity College in Hart- iford, graduating with the class of 11905, After graduating from Trinity !he entered Berkeley Divinity school, in Middletown and duated from there in 1907. Mr. Jones studied un- | der the late Dr. Samuel Hart and yes- !terday morning delivered a memorial {address on him in which he spoke of iDr. Hart in the highest terms. While in Berkeley Mr. Jones often preached in surrounding towns such ius East Berlin and Southington. Aft- er completing his studies he returned west where his first parish was in Le- Mars, Iowa, and he completed his longest stay at Wauwatosa which is just outside of Milwaukee. Inadditior to his regular duties as pastor he hal charge of the charitable institutions of the town and handled his work in a very efficient manner. It was from Christmas, 1915, until Easter, 1916, that Mr. Jones showed his real ability as a pastor for dur- ing that time he was in complete charge of St. Mark’s, Rev. Mr. Bod- ley being in the south. He recelved much praise for his fine work during the time his superior was away. His coming to this city may be traced to the acquaintance he formed with Mr. Bodley when they were students at the Faribault Shuttuck Military school. Rev. Mr. Jones is also the sgout- master of Troop 12 of the Boy Scouts and much credit is due him for the | re-organization of that troop when the movement in the city declined & number of years ago. He also had charge of thej other activities of the Young people and was director of re- ligious education, although he did not hold that title. Mr. Jones has noth- ing in view at present and his nlans will be formed after his arrival home. Daughters of Scotia. Lady Wallace lodge, No. 24, held a regular meeting on nesday.
