Physical Director Asked to Return to Fairmont, Va., Association. Physical Director Warren S. Slater of the Y. M. C. A. has received an offer from the Y. M. C. A. at Fair- mont, West Virginia, to take the posi- tion of physical director at that as- sociation. Mr. Slater was assistant physical director at the local associa- tion in 1910, when he went to Fair- mont and opened their association and established their physical de- partment on a firm footing. He was at Fairmont for two years, and went from there to Hannibal, Missouri, where a new Y. M. C. A. had been formed, and was physical director for a year. He was called from there to Springfleld, Missouri, and spent a vear as physical director of the Y. M. C. A. in that city. He returned to Fairmont, and sSpent another year in that town. Returning to New Britain in 1914 Mr. Slater became physical of the local association, which posi- tion he has held since that time. He has built up the physical department and placed it on a firm footing, and the attendance at the classes is splendid, in spite of the fact that many of the young men are in the service. Last night, while in the gvmnasium with a class, Mr. Slater received a telephone call from Fairmont, West Virginia, and answering it, heard the other party say, “Hello, Slater, you don't know me, as I am a new man, but we must have you back in Fair- mont.” This revelation came as a surprise to Mr. Slater, who told the party in Fairmont that conditions in New Britain were such that he could not give him any definite information. The secretary in Fairmont told Mr. Slater that he would write him a let- ter and insisted that Mr. Slater would have to return to Fairmont. AMERICAN DIVISION® PLANS FOR PARADE.

There is some talk about towa con- cerning changing the hours of the patrolmen. The recent burglary at Neri's confectionery store on Hast| Main street shaws the need of some- one to watch the towa after the clos- ing hours of the stores. It is sug- gested that the hours be changed so that the patrolmen will be on duty between the hours of 10 o'clock at night and 6 in the marning. Thus it would include most of the time that the stores are closed. Directors Meet Tonight.
