New York STONINGTON Effort to Organize a Total Abstinence Society—Manor Inn Fire Loss Ad- justed—Notes. ‘With the hearty co-operation of Rev. James E. O'Brien, pastor of St. Mary church, County Director William H. McGuinness of Norwich, assisted by County Organizer James A. McDonald of New London, special effort will be made next Monday evening to organ- ize a Catholic total abstinence society in Stonington. It is many years since such an organization was located in the borough, aithough there were thriving societies in Mystic and Paw- <atuck, connected with the Catholic Total Abstinence union of Connecticut, and with the national organization. At the present time there are but very few parishes in the Catholic diocese of Hartford that is without its total ab- stinence society, and under the direct guidance of the parish priest, and who | serves as chaplain. Thus early there | are 15 young men who have signified their desire to become original mem: bers of the proposed new society, and it is believed that twice that number will join the society at the initial | meeting. The local committee is com- posed of William J. Farman, Robert Shackley, Joseph Coughlin, ~Edward | & Thayer and Francis Gilmore.

Mrs. Charles Perry, president, presided, and after the opening routine and, in the absence of Mrs. Walter S. Price, sec- retary, Mrs. Frank A. Sherman sub- mitted the secretary’s report, which in substance was as follows, and was read by Rev. Samuel M. Cathcart, secretary Pro tem.: We are now in the seventh year of the activities of the visiting nurse as- sociation. The field of the nursing service has continued to grow with each year, and the number of patients the past year was greater than in any one previous year. The association pays a tribute to the faithful work of Miss Gunn, who came to be the visit- ing nurse in August, 1911, and left the position in October, 1915. To Miss Gunn_ her nursing work was her life and she was always available for dut seldom ever being unable to go to pa- tients, even on Sundays and at nigé when she was supposed to be free. She endeared herself to many of her patients, who regretted her going, but, after much deliberation, the board thought it best for the future develop- ment of the work. Since October the nursing work has been done by Miss Margaret Slattery, who trained at the | Rhode Island hospital a short time ago, thus having knowledge of the newest theories and methods for nursing. Miss Slattery has had an especially busy time during the last three months, when _sickness has been so prevalent in Westerly, and the physi- cians and her patients have found her very efficient. Our_appreciation still continues to Dr. Whitford for the services of his dental clinic. When one considers that zood teeth are one of the founda- tions for good health we know that the children treated in the clinic have been greatly benefited. The social welfare department, which was started two years ago and carried on separately by a secretar: s dis- centinued with the going of Miss Moore in August. It was found that the policy of this department had been developed differently from what the board intended, the association having become too much Bf a relief society, when it was hoped that the help given should be done by personal friendly advice and instruction given in the homes where needed. The association still hopes to be able to give such help through the nurse, the board hav- ing tried to secure a nurse with a so- cial training. A committee has been in communication with several work- ers, but no suitable person has_ye: been found. In the meantime Miss Slattery has been combining the two services when she has had the time. The committee on the prevention of tuberculosis has been active in an ed- ucational policy, in preventive and general health work, and has assistance to several tuberculos In May and June it conducted through the schools a fly campaign. The agen- cy for the sale of Red Cross seals was carried and 39.217 seals were sold.

We tell you tobacco joy you can hatch. We tell you that its quality, its flavor, aroma tion as tion is in life P. A. will exceed the churches. The committee contributed $10 to the Playground assoctation and $25 to the Hillsgrove sanatorium for blankets. The Baby week campaign held last week was initiated and finagced by the committee, a general committee having been formed by the calling to- gether of representatives from various organizations - with religious, educa- tional and civic interests. The employment committee reopened the office in September, it having been closed during the summer. It has helped considerably in finding work for applicants, but the scarcity of al- most every class of help in town has lessened its activities. The committes recently visited the plant of the Pe- quot Shirt company and commended very highly the efforts the company is making to have sanitary and com- fortable conditions for its employes. At the time of the Red Letter day siven | in August an_effort was made to in- crease the membership. This was fairly successful, but if the association is doing a worthy work, which most people grant, there should be a larger membership. In conclusion, the secretary said that the sincerest appreciation of the asso- ciation goes to all those individuals, clubs and business firms who ha: helped by service, gifts and money contributions. Treasurer Rev. William F. Willlams' report showed a cash balance a year ago of $51.48, which with the receipts of the year. totaled $1,740.50. The ex- penses “were $1,684.93, leaving a bal- ance of $55.66. Miss Margaret Slattery submitted the report of her work in detail, show- ing that 2,620 visits had been made and that at the present time she was caring for 109 children and 65 babies, in addition to the adult cases. Dr. Henry E. Utter of Providence gave a very interesting talk, telling of the relation of the visiting nurse to social welfare work, laying particular stress on the case of mothers and their babies. The doctor paid high tribute to the work of the district nurse and said there was no valid reason why physicians should not cheerfully co- operate with the nurses. He declared that the nurse was very essential in baby welfare work among the poor people. On motion of Mrs. Charles Perry seconded by Mrs. Frank A. Sherman, a unanimous vote of thanks was ten- dered to Dr. Utter for his interesting and instructive talk. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: Mrs. Charles Perry, president; Mrs. Frank A. Sherman, first vice president; Mrs. Clifford W. ampbell, second vice president; Mrs. Walter S. Price, secretary; Rev. Wile liam F. Williams, treasurer, ‘The board of managers for three years are Mrs. Eugene F. Stillman, Mrs. C. Byron Cottrell, Mrs. Willlam Clar] Charles Perry, Mrs. Albert H.

Afternoon and Evening IN ADDITION TO REGULAR ATTRACTIONS cellent recommendations from hotel proprietors in this section of the coun- try he was engaged as head waiter for The Rhode Island and enzaged in the work preliminary to the reopening of the dining room. He had been in Westerly but a few days when he secured a tuxedo dress suit from a local firm, on representa- tion that he was the new head waite at The Rhode Island and was to re- main in Westerly permanently, and that the payment for the suit would be fully guaranteed. He subsequently tried to get a traveling bag on the strength of his new position in one store, but failed. He succeeded in getting the bag at another store. It is also alleged that he took a watch that belonged to a cook in the hotel When he was ready to leave West- erly he engaged Albert J. Larkin, a local taxicab owner, to take him to New London. As the start was about to be made he told Larkin that he had a check for $38 that he must get cashed in order to pay for the ride. His honeved words and pleasing man- ners besuiled Larkin who endorsed the check and it was cashed at a local bank. Then Larkin was paid $7 and Payne was taken to New London. He went into the Peck restaurant in that | city and succeeded in getting two girls to come to Westerly, assuring them that they could get $10 and board as waitresses at The Rhode Island, where he was head waiter. The girls came and returned to New London disap- pointed, and, it is claimed, that in ad- dition to carfare, they are minus small sums of money which they paid to ne. The check endorsed by Larkin and Payne was on the First National Bank of Chicago, and was drawn against the account of the Fisk Millinery com- pany. On Tuesday the check came back to Westerly stamped as a forg- ery and Mr. Larkin was called upon to make good the face of the check, plus the protest charges of about $3. The facts were reported to Chief of Police Brown, Tuesday afternoon. The thirty-ninth annual meeting of the Women's .
