'HARDING FLAYS LEAGUE DEMANDS' (Continued From war and we want to end ference. We want a free America again. We want America free at home and free in the world. We want to silence the outery of nation against nation, in the fulless of un- derstanding, and we wish to silence the ery of class against class and Mifle the party appeal to class so that weé may insure tranquility in jour freedom . “Many advocates of pacificism think our saféguards against war are not enough, that there should be a referendum to the people before the war. The other extreme is found among- those who seriously propose that a council of foreizn powers shall summon the sons of this republic | to war anywhere in the world. I emphatically agree that no authority other than congress may call our boys | to battle. Accepting this truth why make a covenant which violates the good faith of nations? Picks On Article. “Suppose that under the military alliance and the super-authority of Article X a program of armed force {is agreed upon and the congress of the United States declines to respond. | The executive would be called upon {to carry on a war without constitu- | tional authority or we should prove our compact no more than a scrap of paper. We are on the side of | both safety and honor to hold for | ourselves the decision of our obliga- {tion to the world. We have ever plaved a becoming part in human | progress, we will not fail to play it in that freedom of consciénce and ac- { tion which befits a confident republic. | | Men prate about violated obligations to the nations of the earth. The solemn truth is that our part in the { world war was an obligaion to our- selves, performed in sympathy with assoclated, not allied powers, and our splendid part in helping to win the war was the armed manifestation of American conscience not the fuifill- ment of a written obligation. “It is impossible definitel\ to fix our course amid the usual conditions in the wake of war. The world has to steady down. We have been talk- ine about getting back to normal. ‘That doesn’t mean the old order; that doesn’t mean looking backward. It is the short and easy way of sayinz ‘again to stability’, ; TeRUIArity." There hasn't backward look in America for 300 years but the man who faces the future with highest assurance is he who bas noted the paths which made his progress secure. We republicans hold that the inherited plan of ~on- stitutional, representative popular kovernment, with the inspirations of natiomality and a fair chance for e;'lry man, have enabled men to write :|:“:lu=r:m- Story of human and na- bt Vancement in all the world, "‘rn to hold the inheritance weur B9 confidently on to greater and grander achievement."” First Page.) that inter- ‘once more to been a ] ! drums | and a inches | held | have been | around PLAINVILLE NE LOCAL DRUM CORPS ASKS TOWN'S HELP Needs Money to Defray Expenses of New Uniforms and Drums FIREMEN WANT BLOCK DANCE Petition Forwarded to Selectmen— Dance Will Be Held on Ficld Day —Healey Body to Be Shipped Home —Briefs Items. The Corps Plainville Fife and Drum will begin a private subscrip- tion drive in an endeavor to raise $200 in order to help defray the added expenses of the organization. The drum corps recently purchased new uniforms and a complete new set of The new uniforms are on the style of the old colonial make and have blue coats with the tan breeches cocked hat. They are a great improvement over the other ones that begzan to show signs of wear and the men make a fine appearance when marching. Their new drums are also of the colonial style and are the deep barrel kind. They measure fully 18 inches deep with a head about 15 across. The band a is planning to enter the contest of the hig e field day of all drum corps undor the auspices of the Y. M. T. A.

Sev- eral meetings and practice work, has been held and the corps feels confi- dent of carrving home a few laurels on their return. The meet and con- tests will be at the St. Mary's play- ground in New Britain, Saturday, Au- sust 14, at 1:30 o'clock in the after- noon. The parade will begin in the morning of that day at 11:15 o’clock. Leafdler George Spencer will have charge of the local corps. The members of the local band are: Ieader, George C. Spencer; drummers, Ieon Spencer, John Alfred Stewart, Thomas 3 Randolph Stewart, Wesley and William Buys. The last four men- tioned play the fife. The drive will be continuous until the desired amount is reached to cover expenses. It is not expected that any great pdifficulty will be encountereq in rais- ing the amount as the interest taken in the drum corps by the townspeople is very keen. One of their new drums is on display in the new Neri fruit store in Central Square. To Ship Body Home. Mr. and Mrs. Egbert Healey of Red Stone Hill have notified the Alaska Engineering and Construction com- pany to have the body of their son, Earl W, who was killed by a piece of flying rock while working for that concern at that place, shipped home as soon as possible. A teiegram was received shortly after to the effect that a course of three weeks would clapse before the bhody would reach Plainville. There have been no defi- nite arrangements for the burial when it reaches the home, although Mr. Healey desired a military funeral con- sidering the fact that his son was in the service for a long time and in the employ of the government. The Brock-Barnes Post was notified of his wishes and a special meeting will be called to act on It is most probable that the Post will vote to take charge of the funeral as the unfortunate young man was well known throughout the town. Petition for Block Dance. With the coming of the local fire- men’s field day, a petition has been forwarded to the selectmen“of the town for a permit to hold a block dance in the center of the town. The dance will be held September 18. on the evening of the field day. A special town meeting has been called to vote on the matter Monday evening, Aug. 9. at the town hall at 8 o'clock. In view of the fact t block dances denied various individuals previous to this, it is expected that the town officials will frown upon the matter and not issue a permit. giving of the permit will closing of the state highway during the dance and ample police protec- tion A fence will have to be built the center of the park and electric lights strung around it All who are interested in the affair are urged to attend the meeting.

Although as vet Plainville has not had any serious trouble pertaining to the trolley situation and jitney run- ning, it is certain that if the Con- | necticut company should withdra its cars, the town would be up against it. At present the Jitney competition is not very pressing, being that they | run at intervals during the day with | the most business on Sunday running to Lake Compounce. The bad roads | between New Britain and Plainville have kept active jitney service con- necting the town at the auto owners find 1t difficult driving their busses over it. The Bristol and Plainville Tramway company retain their usual 10 cent fare and with this, competition is not very soon to be had. There is a possibility of such action as the withdrawal of the trol- ley system, but hopes are held out } for that not to happen. The new rates on the New Britain and Plain- ville line will be 14 cents in cash fare which is an increase of four cents more than the present fare with the zone tickets.
