John AL Crampton, superintendent of flash and game, Friday. The statement smacked of hyper- bole, but Mr, Crampton repeated it and insisted on its conformity to facts. “To what you attribute the phe- nomenon?” he was asked. “To the fact that there IS now.no spring shooting of ducks. The season for shooting does not begin until Octo- ber, instead of February,” replied Mr. Crampto: Boy Scout Soci The Boy Scouts of the Second Con- gregational church held their regular monthly social in the church l}ldn evening.

King Says Entrances to Norwich is in need of a good many things at least that was the impres- sion gained by those who attended the Board of Trade meeting in Buck- ingham Memorial on Friday evening. Not the least among these needs is co-operation, for co-operation always serves to better conditions in any city. At the meeting Friday night a num- ber of prominent citizens expressed their opiniong In regard to the needs of our city and although nearly ev- ery speaker had a different idea in mind all were worthy of consideration. The meeting was called to order about eight oclock by the president, Frank J. King. President King sald that the meet- ing was called for the purpose of hearing what Norwich most needs. He said that he has been notified since the last meeting that the Yantic river project has been turned down. It does not follow, however, that the Board of Trade will give up the idea and Pres- ident King said that a deeper chan- nel is necessary. Among the other needs of Norwich we ought to have better entrances to the city, he said. You all know the condition of Thames street. It is a disgrace to the city. The entrance on the Groton side is just as bad and should be repaired. So far we have not been able to get anvthing done. On_the opening ot the new bridge at New London that road will have to be fixed. We still have no_extension to Ma- plewood cemetery, Mohegan park, or to Fitchville. Another matter that Mr. King's attention has been called to the six o'clock car. On _stormy nights the cars on this trip are crowded. Still another matter spoken of by President King was the building or an industrial building. He said that he has received a communication from a Brooklyn concern who wish to locate here but there is no place to put them at_present. President King then called upon James L. Case for a few words in re- card to the needs of Norwich. Mr. Case spoke of two things which he considered most needed In Norwich and fhiese were good streets and slde- walks. T think each one realizes the advantages that come to a city through =zcod streets and sidewarks, said Mr. Case. He spoke of the fine streets and walks in Detroit and said t they have played no small part in development of that city. There has been a marked improve- ment in the smaller cities of the state, said Mr. Case, and T think the most improvement is shown in Meriden. Tn our own city we perhaps have a problem to overcome, Mr. Case said, and he felt that there could he much improvement made in the local streets and walks if more interest was shown in_the matter. He advocated the appointment of a committze to go into the matter thoroughly and to report back to the body and then have the body bring up the matter in a_town meeting and ask the citizens of Norwich to give to the Rose of New England far bet- ter streets and sidewalks than 1t has at_the present time. Henry Tirrell. principal of Norwich Free Academy speaker. Principal Tirrell said that a com- munity needs the same sort of things that an individual needs. The com- munity needs an ambition to grow. But it needs something better. The first thing we need is a certain quali- tv of business ability and leadership. What we need most of all in young people is a sense of responsibility. In closing Principal Tirrell sald that the Board of Trade could help Norwich by establishing some committee to ena- ble younz people to find employment, especially through the summer months. The next speaker was E. J. Grabam, superintendent of the public schools, and he said that he though further consolidation of the town schools one of the needs of Norwich. He spoke of the advantazes that have been de- rived from consolidation so far and then said that the seventh and eighth grades consolidated under one roof or under one or two concentration points. By such concentration it would enable the =chool officlals to equalize some o1 the classes, thereby gaining greater ef- ¥. This would enable the teach- ers to do the special work they are fitted for. . Graham spoke of the need of gymnasiums, assembly halls and shops in order that our pupils might receive the training that is being given In systems throughout the United States. Tt would be impossible to have these facilities In each of the schools, but it would be possible if the seventh and ecighth grades were grouped togeth- the . was the next er. As the next speaker President King called upon F. W. Cary. Mr. Cary said we ought to zet in line with the present day feeling of preparedness and prepare for the fu- ture. He believes that we ought to prepare for the industrial growth of our city. I believe that we need an army of said Mr. Cary, men who will inst stagnation, and the most valuable kicker is the self kicker. He said that we need a new city charter, a building line to prevent encroach ments in narrow communities, a city inspector of electric wiring, new side- walks and new streets. He then read the following report which was made 24 yvears ago by a committee appoint- ed by the Board of Trade: “It may not be amiss here to men- tion some of the things Norwich ex- pects to have and to do in the near future. We expect to have a govern- ment_building; we expect to enlarge our Free library, and to bulld Indus- trial Building No. 2. We expect the street raflway will be well equipped with electricity, extended to East Great Plain and Thamesville ‘with fifteen minutes time to Greeneville and Thames street. “We expect to see the school dis- We expect to ses tricts consolidated. the Laurel Hill bridge replaced by a safe structure at a lower elevation and on a grade to make a good approach at both ends. We expect to locate new industries here. “Signed. Frank H. Pullen, Frank L. Woodward, Francis E. Dowe, and Al- fred H. Vaughn.” These gentlemen Iooked forward 24 years, said Mr. Cary, for some of these things only came recently. He said ho thought the best resuits from a meeting of this kind would be secur- ed through the appointment of a com- mittee to jot down the things that Norwich needs and work for those things during the next 24 years. alter F. Lester, who was called up- on, spoke on cooperation as one of the needs of Norwich, and then President King called upon R. C. Perkins, pres- ident of the Shore Line system. Mr. Perkins eafd that what Nor- wich needs is men, men of public opinfon along the right lines. He said what we need is a large organization to push Norwich ahead as it ought to be_pushed. You have two organizations, sald Mr. Perkins, you are duplicating. labor creating confusion. -Thess D C N =5 WICH NEEDS MOST |~ ™ elseres scruron —_— e together. Allyn L.
