There was considerable reluc- tance about having a banquet in these ‘times’ of stress, but all in attendance _confessed that: the high patriotic Rote to which the program was keyed proved abundant justification of the seeming indulgence. The rooms were l -with many flags, including the old flag of Civil War fame which draped the speakers’ table.. The floral decorations also were - in the national colors, Japanese quince, ap- e hlonomu and phlox and myrtle. was sald by Rev. E. F.

We are gaining a broader sense of neighborliness through the coming of ambassadors from abroad, and the affliation with other great nations. Patriotism is not solely mili- tant. No one is a patriot because he is a soldier, but he is a soldier be- cause he is a patriot. One may be a patriot, and yet not approve of all the policies of the country. We should not think that pacifists are patriots simply because they con- sclentiously disagree with war poli-: ces. Patriotism begins with love of the land which is our home; but love of the people, and willingness to sac- rifice for the people is‘the trua broad basis of patriotism. The traitor is one who is false to the common good. ‘There is no place for shirkers or slackers, and everyone is responsible for doing his part,” We are growing to be internationalists; but that dis only because we are patriots first of all. The people who say they don’t believe in foreign missions are find-. ing that as a nation we cannot help carrying out. essentially foreign mis- sion principles. = “God has made of one blood .all nations to dwell on the face of the earth.” We are’to be oit- izens of the world. “The Star Spangled Banner” was sung by Mr. Hart, the entire assem- blage joining in the chorus, thus concluding the evening’s program. To Complete Arrangements. Following the weekly prayer meet- {ing in the - East Berlin Methodist | church this evening there will be & meeting of all those interested in the flag rasing which is\to be held on Saturday afternoon. A large sum of Ilnnney has already been pledged for the purchase of a flag and others are i expected at the meeting this evening. ‘While plans for the event have been under way for some time it is ex- pected that the final arrangements will be made by the committee when it meets tonight.” The line of march will be decided and also the part that the various organizations will have in | the exercises at the ‘soldiers’ monu- ment. The Sons of Veterans at their meeting tonight will make final ar- rangements for the changing of the Memorial Day exercises to Saturday afternoon in connection with the celebration in honor of the flag. ‘Moving Into New Quasters. Members of. the Cornecticut Na- tional Guard doing detail duty at the various railroad bridges about the town were this morning moving into their new quarters north of the wait- ing room which has just been erected on the west side of the station plat- form. Up to the present time the boys have been quartered in the rail- road station a section house but superior officers considered it better policy to have the men all at one place and for this reason the spare time of the detail yesterday was spent in erecting tents. Three of the regula- tion ftents have been erected and these | will serve to shelter eighten men in th detail. Many and varfed were the methods used by the men in trans- porting their cots and other _effects this morning and the threatening weather made them move a little bit faster in order to have everything under cover before rain came.

The list was made up by the seléctmen in accordance with the law and the men will be ordered to report for duty when needed, the names to be picked by the jury com- missioners as is at present the custom.

Usher held this morning a telegram was sent to the adjutant general, advising him that all prepara- tions have been made for the register- ing of young men between the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, for selective con- scription on June 5. The work will be dane in Plainville without expense to the . gavernment, patriotic citizens ‘having volunteered to assist the regis- tration board in recording the names and other desired information regard- ing eligibles who respond to the presi- dent’s proclamation. The government has decided to pay $4 to each man serving with the regis- tration board for the services he ren- ders on that day but a nation-wide effort is being made to get the work done without expense to Uncle S8am. In Plainville several men will be needed to serve as clerks as thers will be considerable writing in connection with the filling out the blanks for those obliged to register. The board of registration will con- sist of First Selectman Johnson, Town Clerk Usher and Registrars Newell and Cady. Among those who have voluntéered their aid in making the registration are Frank. T. Wheeler, Frederick Bullen, Oliver W. Robert- sen, Joseph N. McKernan, Clarence Anderson, Peter N. Priar, Charles R. Sherman, Charles R. Clark, Dr, L. H, Frost and N. E. Clark. John Petnato and Constable thp Marino have offered to serve as inter- preters for the Italian eligibles. Dr. Frost has also signified his willingness to serve as examining physician for the board when the weeding out process is begun, the gov- ernment proposing to take for service only those who are physically fit and are without dependents, During the conference this morning plans were discussed for spreading in- formation regarding registration day among the employes of the quarries in town. There are a number of Itallans and Portuguese working at the crushers and while mast of them are subjects of their native countries and in all probability will not 'be con- scripted they are obliged under the law to register, providing they have passed their twenty-first birthday and are not vet thirty-one. The opinion seems to prevail among some of them that by registering they leave them- selves lable to a call for service and for that reason there is a fear that they may attempt to evade their duty and consequently become amenable to punishment through their ignorance. Town Clerk Usher has received 375 Blanks for use in registering. Mr, Usber belleves that the estimate of 150 given as the number of men who will be required to register is by far too low. He thinks that there are ap- proximately 3,300 people living in the tawn and basing his conclusions on the report of the census bureau that ten per cent, of the population are males between the ages of 21 and 31, he predicts that more than 300 will be obliged to register. Of this number there will be many foreigners and wen with dependents who will be exempt from the draft and an estimate of the number who will be listed as eligibles after the weeding process is completed is practically impossible at this time. Rososco Pays Fine. Pleading guilty to a charge of in- toxication, Frank Rososco of Tariff- ville, was fined $5 and costs yesterday afternoon when he appeared before Justice Condell. Rososco was arrested Tuesday by Constable Marino. The man was without fun made arrangements with his employer to pay the assessment and he was re-- leased. Modern Building Planned.
