Thirtcenth Anniversary of Mar- riage—Audit Town Reports—Swed- ish Republican Mceting Postponed. Although possessing a name Which has been called “too Teutonic,” Berlin since the declaration of war has been doing more than her “bit” toward helping Uncle Sam crush the Germans. fiwhen word went forth that the United lStates had entered the great conflict, Berlin's native sons proved that they were made of the same calibre as their forefathers and responded in large numbers to enlist in all branches of ‘fhe army and navy. A compilation of the names of the local men enrolled in the=service of Uncle Sam, shows that s town, to date, has furnished morc goldiers for the army than any other itown in the state with a similar popu- lation. At a meeting of the Connecticut State Council of Defense recently it was voted to take a census of all or- anizations doing charitable or pa- triotic work in this state in connection with the war. The council communi- cated with ex-Senator Claude W. Stevens, chairman of the local coun- il, and a list of such organizations has been compiled and forwarded to Har ford. Mr. Stevens' report shows that this | town has 21 organizations doing pa- triotjc work. They are: Emma Hart wiliard Chapter, D. A. R.; Berlin Red “ross, branch of the New cast Berlin Red Cross Kensington Red Cross branch; Boy Scout: ica, Troop 1, Ber- in; Boy Scouts of America, Troop 5, Censington: Be of Veterans, Berlin Home Guards, Berlin Gr: fNo. 24, P. of H.; Court Mattabes Foresters of America, No. bessett Tomato club; club; Berlin Branch of Conservation ¢ Foad of Hartford county leagu Berlin Savings bank; First Congrega- onal church, Kensington; Second ongregational church, Berlin; Ken- §ington M. 1i. church, East Berlin M. . church; St. Paul's erch, Kensingtor hurch, Bast Berlin and St. hurch, East Berlin. The Emma Hart Willard chapter s more than done its “bit” since war s declared. When the Liberty nds were floated, the chapter pur- hased a $50 bond. Besides this the forganization adopted a French orphan and is also furnishing one set ot knitted articles for the sailors on the battleship Connecticut. The set inchales a sweater, wristlets, helmet and a muffler. The officers of the [Emma Hart Willard chapter are as ollows: Regent, Miss Alice Norton; ecretary, Miss Marjorie Moore and easurer, Miss Caroline K. Savage.

Goodrich is scoutmaster in Ken- sington. ‘When the call for the organization of Home Guards was sent forth oy Governor Marcus H. Holcomb, Berlin at once took heed. A company .was organized and includes some of the town’s most prominent citizens. After drilling two nights each week since Spring, the local Home Guards have become well versed in military tactics. The citizens of the town, under the leadership of the ladies, recently pre- sented the company with a standard of colors. George C. Beckett is the captain of the Guards. The Berlin Home Veterans also showed their patriotism when, under the leadership of Captain George G. Griswold, a flag pole was erected on the public square and amid much cer- emony a flag was raised. The Berlin Grange of which Ed- ward B. Adams is master, has been working along agricultural lines. Can- ning extension work has been taken up by a number of its members. The Grange meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month.

According to an announcement made by Orrin L. judd, principal of the Plainville Grammar schools, 580 children had registered up to Wednes- day. He also stated that there were more to be registered in the next few days. Mr. Judd will make a report to the school board this evening and sta- tistics presented at that time will prob- ably show that the attendance this Year will be larger than last. At present all the grades are crowded and until the new building is completed conditions will remain con- gested. It is expected that the new structure will be ready for use about the first of October. Yesterday all the schools closed at noon to give the scholars a chance to attend the Berlin fair, it being Gover- nor's day.

The annual meeting of the Advent Christian church was held Wednes- day evening in the church parlors at which time the business of the year was gone over and officers elected for the ensuing vear. The reports read by the various officers showed that the church is in good financial stand- ing and has made considerable prog- ress during the past 12 months. That the church has profited under the leadership of the Rev. J. W. Den- ton was clearly shown. ‘The mort- gage was considerably cut down this year through the money raised and contributed and extensive improve- ments were made. During the past vear new sidewalks have been con- ructed in front of the church and new lights installed within. In appreciation of the work done by the pastor since his advent here three years ago a unanimous vote was tendered him by those present at the meeting to continue in the pulpit for another year. As yet Mr. Denton has neither accepted or declined the offer. The officers chosen for the ensuing vears are as follows: Second elder, J. S. Wilkinson; second deacon, T. J. Teachman; clerk, Miss Mildred Mec- ckle; treasurer, Mrs. Agnes Mec- Nickle; steward, Oliver Peace; Sun- day school superintendent, F. Peace. Mr. Denton stated this morning that he would occupy the pulpit next Sun- day. Plainville to Play Pawnces. The last game of the season on the home grounds will be plaved next Sunday at Allen’s field when the Plainvlle ball team will stack up against the Pawness of New Britain. The Pawness are an aggregaiion of all stars from the Hardware city and should give the local boys a good game. Oakes will probably be the mound artist for the home team. The following Sunday Plainville will play the all-Rockville team at Rock- ville. As these boys are reputed to be one of the best teams in the state the localites will be able to place another feather in their caps if they score a win. ¥rost May Leave Soon. Dr. Lawrence H. F'rost, who recents ly received a commissiqn as TFirst Lieutenant in the - Medical reserve corps has received two’ notices to hold himself ready to report for ac- tive service. The first notice stated that he must hold himself in read- iness to leave on 48 hours notice while the second ,was more brief, twenty-four hours being namwd as the time in which he must report after being summoned. When Dr. Frost received the com- mission he did not expect to receive his call before the first of next year. Tt is possible now that he may have to leave the town within a few days. Roads Open for Travel. One side of the road which has been under construction between here\ and Bristol for several months opened this morning to the general public. No sooner had the sign “Road under construction” been taken away than autoists and drivers of other vehicles flocked to the side of the road which was just completed. Judging from the appearance which the highway presents and the uniform smoothn: it appears to be one of the best roads in the state. 180 Wish to Be Made Voters.

Meigs of the Children’s Bureau of the U. S. Depart- ment of Labor in a paper on Infant Work in War time which the bureau hus just made available for general distribution. The special features of the wark have varied in the different countrics. In Engiand there has Leen a striking increase in the number of health visi- tors emploved to help and to instruct mothers in the care of their babies and voung children. An act providing for government aid to local agencies had as it happened, been passed in July, 1914. ‘““The local government board (the central supervising and administrative body) has taken the stand that in wa time, in spite of the general need fo: cconomy, no economy should be excor cised in this direction. There is cv dence that in a good many communi- ties, on account of lack of money and private support, agencies have been slow to se their work or to undertake These difficulties the local government board has largely over- It has gone on with the great- est determination towards its acknow- ledged goal—to have systematic super- Vvision through the work of health visitors for.all babies born who need t care.” The available information for Ger- many concerns only the first 18 month of the war. Dr. Meigh refers placed on enabling mothers to care for their own children, A special cammittee of the Red Cross, for example, was organized in Berlin for the care of mothers and infants. The committee had a fund for needy mothers which it used for those mothers who brought their babies Tegularly to an infant-welfare station and who took care of them in their own homes. The outstanding feature of the work is Paris seems to be the increased pro- vision for maternity care; and in Bel- gium, the cstablishment of canteens for the feeding of mothers and of young children. Dr. Meigs speaks of the important part played by the military separation allowances which are granted by foreign governments ta the wives of enlisted men, either, as in Great Britain and Canada, to the wives of all soldiers or, as in France and Germany, to the wives who are in need because the family's wage earner has been called to the colors. Furthermore, in each of these coun- tries except Belgium a maternity bene- fit from government funds, provided before the war to certain mathers, has now been extended to include either the wives of all enlisted men or all women who are receiving the military separation allowance. Dr. Meigs bases on the experience of these cecuntries the following prac- tical war time suggestions United States: The chief preventive measure fd protecting babies is ta insure thefr 4 telligent care and nursing by healt] mothers in their own homes. for tH _ Nothing should be considered mo important in war time than the streng] thening and extending of preventt work already established for infant an maternal welfare. The disorganizatio of such work through the loss af ph sicians and nurses especially traine for it should be avoided if possibl ! Every effort shouid be made to en list a large number of candidates fo! hospital training courses. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. At the Ireshman assembly thi morning Principal L. P.
