Chairman W. W. Leland presided. The meeting was ! most interesting in that it dealt with the work of the home service depart- ment now that hostilities have ceased. time the Home Service department has been organ- ized on a war basis. The meeting last night was to dis- cuss the post-war status of the Home Service burcau. Last weck there was held in New Havea a conference which treated on the after war care of soldiers and sailors. Miss Avis Kemp and 'l Kisselbrack repre- sented New Britain at the conference and they reported to the meeting last feels will have to be done. As evervone knows the boys from France will in many cases be phyoi- cal wrecks and it is the special care of these men that the Home Service will have to look after. The many boys who have been wounded will need care and attention and they will have to see that they have the serv- ices of the city at their disposal in their attempt fo regain their former physical condition. The cases that 11 have to receive special care, how- ever, are the cases of shell shock and bays suffering from delusions. The first step taken to provide for their home coming and after-war care was the appointing of Clarence Barnes as the man to have charge ot looking after the work of receiving the boys. The appointment of Mr. Barnes will certainly meet with hearty ap- proval from the entire public. MAKES TROUBLE: FINED.
