H. Griswold, was tendered a' reception and banquet in Norwich last evening by civilians and business men as a testimonial of the respect and copfi- dence which the townspeople havé in the New Britain military unit, which has been stationed there for aver tWo months. The reception and banquet was held in the Y, .M. C. A. auditorium and was attended by more than 800 civilians and about - sixty soldiers, every man that could be spared from guard duty attending. So great was e A and st TR o o 5 CAPTAIN A. H, GRISWODD. the interest in the reception to the New Britain soldiers that there were 1,600 applications while only 800 guests could be accommadated. Predident Case, of the Nerwich Y. M. C. A, made the opening address of welcome, in which he paid'the New Britain men a glowing tribute or soldierly bearing and their gen- tlemanly conduct in the town. He said they had earned the respect and admiration of the entire community, wha would follow ¢he fortunes of this command in the war zone with great personal ‘interest. General Secretary Hill of the Y. M. C. A. also spoke and voiced the sentiment of the towns- peoplé in favor of the soldiers. He | said that the citizens appreciated the ‘work of the ‘soldiers during the past few weeks and lauded them heartily for their work. He mentioned the ex- cellent personnel of ‘the company -and spoke with favor concerning the high standard of both officers and enlisted men. Responding for the soldiers, Cap- tain A. H. Griswold made a short speech in which he voiced his own thanks, that of his brother officers and the enlisted men for the hearty co-operation accorded them by the people of Norwich. He also volced the appreciation of the entire com- pany for the courteous treatment re- ceived and assured his listeners that the boys would ever laok back with fond memories on the days they had spent in “The Rose of New England.” “Boys” Render Program, Sergeant Edward Ogren arranged a post prandial program in which the soldiers took part. It proved a most pleasing affair and was enjoyed by all. The opening number 'twas a minstrel sang, followed by a solo, “Hawaiian Butterfly,” by Corporal Boyd. Ser- geant Dewey Norton made the hit of the evening with aaveml*nonolngues ‘fid Private Gerald Crean‘sang “Give iMe a Love” A quartet composed of Sergeant 'Clarence Callahan and Pri- vates O'Brien, Bloomquist and Crean rendered selections and another monalogue was given by Private Bart- lett. Private Nesta gave a mandolin seleétion and ancther song was ren- dered . by Private O’Brien. Private Crean created a sensation too, when he arose and sung the French Mar- seillaise, singing it in the French tongue. The program closed ‘with the singing of the Star Spangled Banner by the entire assemblage. Another feature of the evenigg was two reels of maving pictu showing the French and British troops in action. That the boys of Company I have made warm friends in Norwich is no better evidenced than the fact that on last Sunday there were only six men, .- Hot eather Wsof hot weatlurmallayedinaeoolmg We call your attention to our big assortment of M :—Sponges, Bath Soap and Powder, Sea 5 Bath Caps, Scrubs, Talcum Powders, Violet ia, Face Cloths, etc. Now is Just the Time to | Do That Papering and Painting.

Mofr‘hds-,mrybm-fl: Freppwing to Institate Oo-Opesn-~ " ‘tive Store for Bemefit of Employes. Seeking effective means to co-oper- ate with their employes, the officials of the Landers, ‘Frary & Clark Co. are planning a co-operative store for the benefit of workmen, and at a meet- ing to be held tomorrow definite prop- ositions will be unfolded. The North & Judd Mfg. Co. has already under- taken the management of a co-opera- tive store for employes and it is hin! ed that several other local concerns may do likewise. According to the tentative plans at the Landers, Frary & Clark factory all employes who would like to bene- fit by the factory store can obtain membership in this particular corpo- ration for $10. A store would pos- sibly be opened in the old Sweeney building on Bast Main street. Plans call for stocking the store with stand- ard goods, to be dispensed under the supervision of special men to all em- ployes of the factory holding member- ship. All articles would be purchased at wholesale and sold at cost price. Regarding the membership fee, it is understood that this is meérely as an evidence of good faith and at any time an employe wishes to withdraw from the store he will be refunded his money. President Charles F. Smith is the leading spirit in this attack on the H. C. of L. and it is estimated that to fully equip the store will neces- sitate the expenditure of about $40,- 000. NEW BRITAIN BEHAVING. Today was a ‘“red letter” occasion in police and court circles, mot a sign of a human being noted in the cells or listed the continued docket.

NAVY FILLING UP. / Local Recruiting Officer Receives New Orders from Navy Department. Malcolm S.

Chiet Brainard has received in- structions to appear for examination for on August 1. time he will probably divide his time between the local recruiting office and the main office in Hartford, where he is stationed afternoons and evenings. IT RESTS IN PIECES. “Jitney” Is Now a Thing of the Dim Past. “Mike” Sullivan’s well known and Justly popular motor vehicle, some- times accused of being an automobile, was sunk without warning at the corner of East Main and Center streets last night at 9 o'clock. The machine was speeding along East Main street at a rate estimated at four and three-quarters of & mile an hour (the chauffeur was siving her everything he had) when a genuine automobile hove in view over the bow. The automobile was cwned by E.»Kent Hubbard of Middletown and was in charge of his chauffeur, John McDonough, who was forced to stop suddenly when an auto pulled up in front of him. The finish was quick. The piece of rl‘zx that held the “jitney” together droke and in a moment the remains of the car cluttered up East Main street. There wasn't even a shudder. The engine continued toward Hart- ford. Alfred E. Johnson, who was at the wheel, saw four rims spii in four directions. The windshield was re- duced to little pieces and the pint of’ gas in the tank avaponted with a sigh. Many friends of the “jitney” will be grieved to learn of its demise, and many weary-footed midnight sons will weep at the prospects of walking home with no one but the moon for company. It WAS a good old barge. Sullivan’s Frank 8. Grady, connected with the local store of the Riker-Hegeman Co., has been transferred to Water- ~bury," where he' will assume the man- agement of that branch. In the mean-. LON & CO.
