Selected because it is the natural trading center for eastern Connecticut, Norwich will have the first automobile show ever held in this part of the state, The show is to be held at the Majestic bullding on Shetucket street and open- ing Saturday, March 11, at noon, will continue for one week, concluding on March 18. With the exception of the opening day, the hours will be from 10 a. m. until 10.30 p. m. Exhibits direct from the Boston and New York auto shows will grace the exhibition hall, which provides 10,000 square feet of available space. That Norwich is alive as an auto city is demonstrated by the fact that reservation has been asked for almost double the avallable floor space, in- quiries coming from dealers and manu- facturers from many near and distant points. Local dealers are particularly enthused, and practically all have promised their support and co-opera- tion. ATrangements are being made for orchestra and cabaret concerts every afternoon and evening, and the hall will be decorated throughout, with white and green as the color echeme. The show has been made possible through the efforts of S. J. Bottomley, formerly of Jewett City, who will open the new Majestic garage at the close. Thomas Bevan, formerly with the Automobile Trade Press, has been ap- pointed director of the auto show. Space rentals are to be at the rate of $15 per car, less 5 per cent. for each additional car. No exhibitor may en- ter more than flve cars. Payment is to be made as follows: 5 per cent. at the time the contract is and the balance on the opening day of the show. Bach exhibitor will receive 25 com- plimentary tickets when the contract is accepted and additional tickets from the management during the show should his first allotment prove insuf- ficient to cover his prospects. The management reserves the right to limit the number of tickets issued to any exhibitor. Where rentals for car space exceed the total cost of conducting the show the management agrees to refumnd to the car exhibitors the full amount of excess, the refund to be based on the amount paid for space and not on the number of cars exhibited. The exhibi- tion hall will be open for the admission of cars at noon Friday, March 10th. Cars coming in early will be allowed the use of the wash stand for washing only. Polishing must be done on the exhibition epace. All cars must be placed by noon Saturday, March 11th, 1916. The signs and decorations of the car spaces and booths must be uniform and follow the color scheme used in the hall decoration, green on a white backsround. la m | p. m 1 a o zaras 30| [ 6. 6 6. 6. 6. o iote b 3 1 0 i 9 41 7 | 843 x houre after nigh water it is low |lfle Twhich 18 followed by flood tide.

A mass meeting is being arranged by the Federated Jewish Relief com- the mittee of Norwich, to be held at Davis theatre on Sunday when some of the most pi of New York, such as ex-Judge Leon Sanders, Grand master of the I. O. B. A., and president of the Hebrew Shel- tering and Immigrant Aid society, and Rev. Masliansky, the famous and most prominent Jewish orator in the coun- try, will address the meeting. An in- itation has also been extended to Mayor Murphy to address the audience and he has accepted. Rutherford C. Plaut will act as chairman of the evening. The humiliation and the sufferings of the Jews in Furope that have leak- ed out through the suppressed censor- ship has caused the organization of the local committee, which represents the various leading ish organiza- tions in the cf urpose is to raise funds to help alleviats the suf- ferings of the oppressed, persecuted and starving co-religionists that are now homeless and without any means of earning a liviihood. The privations, the sufferings. horror of it all is indescribable. Norwich ought to continue is hear- ty support to the movement to raise an American fund to help the unfortu- nate Jewish victims of the war. Every- body of whatever race, religion, class or condition ought to help by giving their mite to the fund. Two thousand organizations through- out tie United States were represent- ed by delegates at the eventh annual meeting of the Hebrew Sheltering ana Immigrant Aid Society of America, held in New York, immigrants detained during by the immigration authori- the ties, the Ellis Island Bureau of the Society secured the admission or all but 65. It also satisfied the Depart- ment of Labor that 70 per cent. of the immigrants who had, since the begin- ning of the war, been landed tempor- arily on bond, would not become pub- lic charges, with the result that these immigrants were permitted to remain permanently in this country. While the economic depression that prevailed in the early part of last vear seriously affected the membership of many socleties and institutions, the number of members of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society of America increased from 45,767 in 1914 to 52,052 in 1915, a gain of 6,285 members or an increase of 14 per cerit. This is a remarkable demonstration of the firm hold which the society has over the affections of the Jews of America. SUCCESSFUL WHIST AND DANCE Conducted by Miss Isabelle Petrone at T. A. B.
