There has been added to the board of educatfon in assets, thirteen millions of dollars in equip- men, fifty-four institutions are count- ed instead of 53 and there is a large increase in the college body. The board has helped 2,288 young men and young womén in college work during the past year and in all has achieved a wenderful record. Our grand campaign begins Decem- ber 1, 1916 and will last until 1918 and within these two years $25000,000 will be raised for the education of the young people of our churches.

The latter 1s tne greatest of these three. What is the difference between Europe of today and America of today? FEurope is en- gaged with a war and America's air is full of sunlight and her flag full of stars. The speaker told of Gov. Win- throp's cornerstone of America.

Trennery of the hoard of Sunday schools was the rpeaker at the anniversary meeting of (hat board, which followed the board of education meeting. Rev. Mr. Tren- tery spoke of one phase of the work being carried out by the Stnday school board. Rev. J. N. Gelsler presided at the meeting. When we think of Sunday schooi work, we think of graded lessons, or- ganized classes, home departments and Sther things. But tonight I will spealk .0 you on one phase of the work of the Toara of Sunday schools, said Rev. Mr. Frennery. in _this o sect e ] 1 ey Sty PR R 4 It is still unique in the characteristics which make a fact of the phrase: WG\ \A \\ SWAN CO. NEW LONDON religious eervices conducted. It is & well known fact when a recent survey <f the west was taken there were found many places where religlous services weré not held. Many appeals have been sent to us for the carryirg of the gospel into these communities. In some places fof twenty years the gospel and the word of God has not been heard. Rev. Mr. Trennery told of an in- stance of people not hearing the word vf God in the Idaho valley. He also told of an experience in thai section where a housenold was amazed when re knelt in prayer. In Oregon, sald Rev. Mr. Trennery, where the rafiroad runs, there is ona county with a population of 15.000 peo- 1€, and settlers are emigrating in that section fact. In that section there are enly two preachers and one Sunday school missionary. ‘We have serious obligations to carry the gcspel to this section. The speaker told 0f how he was scheduled to speak at a far western town where the gospel had not been preached for some time. On arriving at the meeting house it was :ecessary for him to wait until 9.30 before the service was opened, and when looking into the faces of his audience he look- ed not into the faces of old people but of young. 1t is our business to teach the church of Jesus Christ in these sections of our “ountry, he sald. It costs the board of Sunday schools $1,500 a year in this country, but when the thne com: when this work is thoroughly estab- <hed the treasury will be replenished With ten times that amount.

At a special town meeting held in the town hall on Wednesday evening the legal voters of the town passed & resolution introduced by Allyn L. Brown to remit all town taxes levied on tha Winchester Woolen company of New York, should that company come to Norwich, except such taxes as may e levied at the prevalling rate on a -raluation to the amount of $10,000 for a period of ten years. The meeting was called on petition of twenty legal voters of the town to take any action deemed necessary and proper toward encouraging any indus- trial and manufacturing plant or plants to_locate in the town of Norwich. The meeting was called to order at s o'clock by Selectman Casper K. Bafley, who then surrendered the chair to_Judge H. H. Pettis. The call of the meeting was read by Town Clerk Charles S. Holbrook. Allyn L. Brown then offered the fol- lowing resolution for action: ‘Whereas, A joint stock corporation, which is about to be organized under tie laws of the state of Connecticut, to be named the Winchester Woolen compuny, may locate its new manufac- turing piant In the town of Norwich, and it is the sense of this meeting thai this would prove of great advantage and benefit to the town: Voted, That the selectmen of this, the town of Norwich, be, and they are authorized and directed to in- d Winchester Woolen company, upon its organization, to locate and c-tablish it business in this town. oted, That when said company has if it does so locate and vite = a4 company buildin an n carrying on its said 1 are owned or hired by e when electmen be are, directed to make appl they deem necessary, to the Voted. iereb; tion, next _ses: for the pass: ing, validating above vote. Frank H. Smith seconded the reso Iution. Attorney Edwin W. Higgins present- ed the following as an amendment to Attorney Brown's resolution Whereas, The town of Norwich, by reason of having a competitive rail and ‘water freight service, available sites a reasonable cost, an ecial act ratif confirming t eofa and undant wa- ter supply, un increasing diversity of | labor, cheap power, both clectric and water, possesses great advancages for the establiskment, enlargement, foster- ing and growth of general manufac- taring enterprises; and Whereas, The citizens in town meet- ing assembled are anxious to promote, encotrage and. induce the establish ment of new industries and the en- largement and extension of present in- Custries within the town, but do not be- lieve in_the principle of preferring one class of Industries to another by the abatement of taxes, special privileges cr_otherwise: be it Resolved, That this meeting hereby formally expresses to the board of ¢ sessors and the board of relief of sald town that in the assessment for the purposes of taxation of any and zll manufacturing property due allowance rhould be made for the condition of each apd every Industry, the length of lime it has been established, its eral nature and character with a v to making their assessment list fair and oquitable, and that tho general policy of assessment be such as to in- duce and encourage any and all in- dustries to locate, expand and develop in Norwich so far as such action of the ussessors and board of relief is obedient to law and in fulfiliment of thelr statutory duties. Attorney Higgins' amendment was not seconded and was lost. Attorney Brewn's Explanation. Attorney Brown then erose to state just what the situation . He said there are certain gentlemen who have the capital ready to establish and put into operation a woolen mill. He fur- ther stated that this company has other plants elsewhere and rush of orders has made the establishing of a new plant necessary. They have got in touch with Norwich people owning land in Thamesville just south of the International Silver plant. This land has been unoccupied for years and has been in the tax list at between $3,000 and $4,000. : Attorney Brown then explained two drawings, which were on exhibition showing sketches of the proposed fac- tory building. One drawing pictured the front elevation and the other the ground plan. The plans cal] for a four-story factory building with power Hlant attached and the factory dimen- sions are to be about 180xS0 feet. The factory would cost in the neighborhood of $75,000, sald Attorney Brown. That's the initial plan of these gen- tlemen, he continued, and it's safe to say the plant will be enlarged in the future. The proposition is that if you will fix the valuation of this property for ten years at $10,000 and remit any taxes above that amount for that per- jod, the company will locate here. The direct returns of this proposition, if voted, will be great to the town and the indirect return is self evident. To me it seems a perfectly clear proposi- tion. The objection might be raised that there is no precedent but most of you gentlemen will recall at least two in- stances where similar action was taken. This meeting should not hesitate to take the opportunity it has of bring- ing this industry to Norwich. Attor- ney Brown said that the objection might be raised that it would not be fair to other industries but no other industry has come to Norwich and ked for a rebate. ““His Honor, Mayor Timothy C. Mur- phy, spoke of former industries in that Yicinity during the past years. He said that the town of Norwich voted $3,000 to secure the armory on Mec- Kinley avenue ana that the town do- nated $3,000 to the Norwich State hos- pital for its bulldings. Mayor Murphy spoke of the present proposition as one of the greatest °?' portunities Norwich has ever had in getting an Industry here. Here are men coming to our city and asking for what? Not one dollar, said Mayor Murphy. They are erecting a building take with them. In closing he said he hoped the meeting would give these gentlemen what they were asking for. Frank H. Smith sald he considered it a plain proposition and a paying tion and that he was very much tavor of it, Opportunity Knocking for Admission. 'W. W. Beckwith had the floor next.

I credit Mayor Murphy with having done ms much for the promotion of Norwich as any man we bave ever had. (Applause.) Let us look at the proposition. We are glad they are here. I am glad they are going to put this buflding up because I believe they are. These gentlemen are business men. It has been stated by their attorney that they have looked over available sites, going as far west as Chicago. They are already established. They come here because the site they have selected is the best available. That site today is the best available unde- veloped site for manufacturing pur- poses that there is in New England.

JOS. T. FANNING ADDRESSES HARTFORD GATHERING. Was One of Four Speakers at 30th Anniversary .of Hartford Council, K.| of C. ng a o the Joseph T. Fanning of this clity was one of the four speakers at the 30th nniversary of Hartford council, K. of C.. which was held Tuesday evenins at the Hotel Garde, Hartford. The other speakers were Supreme Knight A. Flaherty of Philadelphia, Secrctary Willlam McGinley v Haven and Judge Edward O’Meara of New Haven. Judge Ed- ward L. Smith of the Hartford com- mon pleas court was the toastmaster. In his_nddress Mr. Fanning said: The Knights of Columbus has also for his models the founders of our order, the few brave, unselfish legd- ers who swore to benefit their fellow men by binding them under a strone, social compact, which means an af- fectionate brotherhood, devoted to th flag of the United States and the | Cross of the Redeemer. He had for his models the sons of the church, a | devoted priesthood, and the laymen | who were our sires, ploneers for our advancement in this country, wao kaad nothing to dpend on_ but their indus- gy and thelr aplendid faith in God e had for a model every man. of every creed and color. who has lived an upright life and has helped hts olfelw man. He has for moders the ablest statesmen of our land, who, as thelr personal greatness Increase, | seemed the more anxious to make it known that their great sustaining truth was in the Creator. The Knights of Columbus has the duty to perform of helping to clean away the ingnorance of many out- side the church, that they, too, may see the way to the true fold. His motto should be, “Let the truth pre vall” Bear aloft the lamp of hil tory and_the right result must surely come. We have at hand more help in this work of enlightenment than we realize. and there are others who give their testimony as strongly as the aistinguished historian. It is for the Knights of Columbus to_remember the principles of our order and that at all times, to the best and finest land beneath the sun, he owes the most manly and patriotic service.
