The luncheon was opened with prayer by Rev, Henry W, Maler, who WwaA clad in overalls llke his brother Rotarians at the time, ‘The program at the luncheon open- ed In an auspicious manner,, when representatives of the nine different organizations marched into the dining room of the Elks club in single file, led by the Boys' club orchestra and were followed by the members of the Rotary club, dressed in overalls. Each of the nine organizations in the drive, demonstrated its work on the stage, starting with the Visiting Nurses. This demonstration showed a nurse entering the home qf an in- valld boy, ‘giving him the proper care and looking after” his comfort. A young man from the Boys' club_fol- lowed with a brief speech telling his hearers that every night wasylsitor's night at the club. A Boy Scout held & large sllk American flag while the audience stood and saluted. Bugle calls by a Girl Scout preceded a dem- onstration under the direction ‘of Miss ‘Ventlle Logan on the Tuberculosis | s #Rellef society and the nutrition classes © in the schools. “We are salvaging our out of school hours by being taught to be independent and not de- pendent,”” said a young miss of 12 years in explaining what Junior Achievement means. Exhibits of children from the City Mission and the Day nursery, showing what is be- ing done by these organizations, made a deep impresslon on those present, Mrs. Frank O'Briéen of the Day Nursery and Miss TLoulse B. Coates of the City Mission had groups of youngsters present to ‘“speak for themselves.” That their speeches were not verbal did not detract in the least from the hit they made. Music was furnished throughout the luncheon by the Boys' club or- chestra and copies of the Boys' Club _News were distributed to those pres- ent. As a tribute to the speaker, Charles Howard Mills, of New York, Leon A. 1,271.46, Sprague, president of the Rotary club, invited the entire Mills' family in the city to sit at the speaker's table, Properly labeled the family members were somewhat as follows: A, Mra, Mills, 21 Millg, Mil! Orin Mills, Charlie Mi Mrs, Mills, Coffee Mills and Old Grandfather Wind Mills, who was sald to be the head of the family, Because of his being a Rotarlan as well as director of the drive, Jam 8. North, who acted as téastmaste was obliged to thank himself on be- half of himself for the dinner, An- ticipating this situation his fellow Ro- tarians presented him with a medal which he was instructed to pin upon his own breast. The medal was pinned on by President Sprague, Favors were distributed to the women and cigars to the men, “Prevention without substitution is positively criminal,”” sald Charles Howard Mills, of New York, natlonal publicity director for the Boy Scouts of America\in his address. He referred to hospitals, sanitariums, courts and Juils, as part of a cure of physical or mental ills and sald they are neces- sary and decidedly worth while, but the more important work is that of prevention. He paid a tribute to the Day Nursery and the four tiny tots who stood on theystage and faced their first audience, He referred to the youngsters in charge of the City Mis- sion” and the wonderful work being done by these organizations. Referring to the problem of the boy he said: “For ages and ages our forefathers have been wrestling with that fegsful bugbear called ‘The boy problem, You don't have to be @ philosopher or a father or mother to understand the boy problem. The problem is simply that of taking the superfluous energy of the boy and directing it into the right channels. “Last summer 33 nations of the world had representatives in Paris at a Boy Scout conference, This shows that the whole world is interested in the movement. “Most people have a very super- flelal knowledge of what constitutes Boy Scout training. The Boy Scout program has been let down into the boy world gradually like a great big fascinating ladder. The Boy Scout learns the salute to the flag and all other forms of showing outward re- spect but he learns also that this is not real patriotism. He learns. that real patriotism is doing the best he can by serving his community and his country. “He learns to tfke care of himself in the great outdoors, he learns to know the birds, the flowers, the trees and the bugs. “Any business man in the country can tell you the biggest problem to- day is that there are too many round Why is it you do not have a Safe Deposit Box of your own? NOT BECAUSE of the expense —for it only costs 1c a day. NOT BECAUSE it isn’t a safe place, since you know that our vaults are Burglar Proof and Fire proof. Just This—You haven’t taken the time to come down and make the arrangements. Try it Tomorrow at The Trust Co., here pegs In square holes and to many square pegs in round holes. In oth- er words there are too many miafits In business, The Boy Scout training | helps a boy to discover his real vo- eatlon by trylng for the various merit badges.” Here he told the story of a woman whose son was Interested in things of mnature, The boy had a collection of beetles and other things he had found In the woods but the mother would not permit him to have them in the house, The boy bullt himself a shack in which to keep them. A visitor hear- ing of it told the mother that pos- sibly the boy was destined to become a great natura The mother re- plied iIndignantly and with dignity, “No, the boy will be a minister like his father.” The speaker quoted from Ralph ‘Waldo Emerson ‘“Get off of your child, you are trying to make him another you, and one you s enough.'’ “The only pledge or obligation the Boy Scout takes,” sald the speaker, “Is to do his best to God and his country, to help other people, keep himself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight” He challenged’ anyone to think of a single moral principle that was not inculcated in the Scout training and sald nefther he nor the national coun- cil would rest until it was put in, should there be one forthcoming. “Every one of the nine organiza- tlons in New Britain represented in this drive has as much a commun- ity appeal as the Boy Scouts,” he sald. He offered as a slogan the line from the Three Musketeers, “One for |all, all for one.” ATTEMPT T0 KILL ANTHD. 5, HEASURE (Continued from First Page) The Rev. J. F. Johnston of Hart- ford, acted as chaplain in the senate, Chaplain Campbell being absent. IN THE HOUSE Imprisonment for debt 1is looked upon with disfavor by the members of the judiciary committee, Mr. Dar- bie told the house today in reporting |adversely on # bill concerning en- forcement of judgments. It provided {that a person owing for groceries, meat. or clothing could be summoned |into court, his ability to pay inquired into and in the event of his failing to | pay a certain amount per week, couid be sent to jail. Massachusetts has a similar law, but Mr. Darbie said while the bill had merit it smacked of a ge- turn to imprisonment for debt. The bill was rejected. The house passed the amendment to the admission tax law so that no state tax will be levied on admissions of 10 cents or less to theaters, and to community center moving picture theaters. In spite of the efforts of Mr. Wal- ker of Plainficld the weavers bill was rejected. The purpose of the bill was to compel manufacturers to post on their factorles the scale of pay for plece work on cotton goods. House on labor sald it had been shown that practically all but two manufacturers in _Connecticut did post the scale. Mr. Bell of Salisbury said it was un-American and was class legislation. The constitutional amendment which will allow the governor to veto items in the appropriations bill came back into the house after being re- worded so as to be submitted to the people, House ILeader Buckley called from the table senate joint resolution which provides for a committee to investi- gate the operation of the ballot law. He said that if there was any merit in it he could not discover it, so he mov- ed indefinite postponement, and the house so voted. 3 Bills favorably reported were: Incorporating the ‘Waterbury Foundation; amending the charter of the hospital corporation of Southing- ton; providing for reimbursing the school districts In connection with consolidation of districts in Middle- |town; changing the personnel of the milk regulation board.

If it were a choice of erecting a dormitory at Danbury or New Brit- ain, Senator McGrath said ‘that he would favor New Britain because of the fact that so many Waterbury stu- dents attended the New Britain insti- tution. “If we are to lose the appropria- tion for a school in Waterbury, we have to look around for the next best thing to do for the benefit of our Waterbury students,” said Senator McGrath to Senator Richard Covert, who was talking to him at the time.
