A held in the Associa- tion building Friday night at 8:30 clock, James L. Case was unanimous- ly re-elected president for -the co ing year. For five years past Mr. Case has served as head of the asso- ciation in a_very capable and eficient manner and the officers are very much pleased that Mr. Case has con- sented to guide the association for an- other year. President Case occupied the éhair at the meeting which was well attended. In his annual report to the members of the association President Case said: It is a pleasure for me to re- port that for the eleventh consecutive time the treasurer has closed his ac- counts with all bills paid and a bal- ance in the treasury. -This result is largely due to the personal supervis- ion given to the business department by its ‘chairman, Mr. L. O. Smith. Our influence upon the business life of this community is Jargely increased by the manner in which. we are able to pay our bills and because of this fact the credit of the association is given high rank. Bk President Case also referred to the religious and other departments of the association. General Secretary’s Report. General Secretary ®dwin Hill read his. report which was as follows: In submitting my annual report for the yvear just closed, 1 desire first of all to reverently- acknowledge the kindness of Almighty God for His constant help, and to ewpress grati- tude to Him for the unmisctakable in- dications of His favor shown in so many ways during the past twelve months. At the close of other years, we have had abundant cause for gratitude, but never, it seems to me, have we had greater reason for rejoicing than at the present moment. Membership. The membership of the association, Bumbering over seven hundred, com- prises men and boys from various walks of life, and of several different nationalities. While the number of members com- pares favorably, With associations of the same size and even in larger cit- les. vet our aim should be to have a roll of one thousand at our next an- nual meeting. Our. Alm. As in the past, our aim Is to cater to the three-fold needs of the men and boys, Vi the needs of the body, mind and spirit, believing that our goal should be the development of all of these in- harmonious relation one with another, The Spiritual. No department of the work has re- ceived more attention than has the spiritual, and we believe if we could read Heaven's record some very en- couraging results would be found. The Sunday afternoon meetings were held through the entire year, the at- tendance was mnuch larger than the previous year, and the interest in the meetings was never better. The Bi- ble classes have interested, a some- what larger number than the previous year; the shop meetings have been conducted regularly and with encour- aging results; meetings were conduct- ed at the local jail with the same reg- ularity as in former years. The sum- mer open air meetings were a pleas- ing and profitable feature of our re- ligious program. Social. More and more we are convinced that the easiest and most sure way to gain a point of contact with the average man or boy is along social lines, and therefore the committee in charge of this important department has faitbfully endeavored to develop the social life of the building, and the social occasions have all been of the free and easy sort which has appealed to our members. Attention has also been given to the daily social inter- course. Physical. The physical department has been given its due share of attention and Finishes ) SANI FLAT "WONDER COAT ' KEYSTONA ‘ALABASTINE bers, and they have supplied the read- ers with a good varlety of magazines and newspapers. Boys. Many years ago the leaders of the tion movement recognized ‘the sreat need of work for boys, and be- cause impressed with the truth of the well known maxim that “prevention is better than cure.” The boys’ work was inaugurated and it has grown steadily since that time. Our work for boys has been prose- cuted with faithfulness, and in no one year have the results been more sat- isfactory than during the year just closed; the boys have apparently Tel- ished ‘the Bible study fully as much as the gyvmnasium classes, both of which have been well patronized by them. We must in every way, if pos- sible, hold the boys, for in a real sense they are the hope and future. Dormitories. The sleeping rooms received needed attention during the vear and at the present time, they are in very good condition; the fact that they have been occupied so continually is a tes- timony to those who have so efficient- ly cared for them: oftimes we.could use many more reoms than we have. Foreign Work. This is the’ day of large vision, and we are glad ‘that last fall our asso- cialion, ‘through the kindness of its friends, was able to reach to the dis tant China, and there in the impor- tant city of Paotinsfu. our own sec- retary, Mr. R. W. Clack, supported by the Norwich association, is serving the men and bovs of that important field. This is indeed a forward step by our association. Our Auxiliary. In this day and time when the spirit of service s in the air, we are de- lighted to/ see isuch actual demon- strations of “doing for others” as have been shown on the part of the good women of our, loyal auxiliary :who, Sn* S0 many “occasions have given us such a helpful ministry, and never in the history of this department ‘of our ‘work has there been greater enthusi- asm than Jduring the past year. We will long remember the splendid ser- vice of Mrs. Pollock, who for several years was president of the auxiliary, and who has_recently removed from the ‘city. Our Great Loss. Since August of last year we have keenly felt the loss of our friend and brother, Mr. Waterman R. Burnham, who passed to his reward on ‘Aug. 17, 1915. Mr. Burnham was the first president of the Norwich association and no in- stitution ever had a more worthy of- ficial or a more loyal friend; we sifall continue to miss his_bodily presence but we do now, and will for years to come, feel the impress of his loyal and royal character. Our Volunteer Workers. To those of s who are the employ- ed officials, there comes no greater incentive than the example shown by the men who, with unstinted devo- tion serve the association our presi- dent, who for fice long years has spared not himself in behalf of our beloved institution he and the good men. associated Wwith him as_officers and directors and committee have, to a great extent, made possible the re- sults of the years work of which we are somewhat proud. The community owes to these men a debt of grati- ude. We are glad to express thanks to the men who have been so indispen- sable in our campaign for funds through the vear, for throush their efforts the association has been able to_conduct the business end of the work in-a business way. To the ministers of the city and vi- cinity we express our gratitude for thelr practical help rendered with a willing” spirit. To the management and reporters of the city newspapers, we offer our hearty thanks for the uniform Kkind- ness and courtesy shown throughout the vear. To every individual who has in any way assisted, financially or otherwise, We extend our thanks for thelr time- 1y assistance. Another year has passed into his- tory, and there it must remain umal- tered by the coming year:; we all wish less mistakes had been made and that more good had been accomplished. The door of the new year is open- ing, and there is no question about our opportunities; the only question is, will we measure up to them There were also reports from the various departments, including the re- ligious department, ' the business de- partment, educational, social, physi- cal and benevolent departments. , The report of the physical -depart- ment submitted by Physical Director O. H. Nickerson was as follows: The gymnasium season opened Oc- tober 1st, with the classes fairly well attended 'and.as the weather . grew colder - more members attended regu lar classes. A speclal class for mint: ters was fried this year but was not very successful. - The Senior and Junior classes ‘have been .larger this year, 28 for the largest senior- class 2nd 52 for the largest junior class, the othericlasses being about the same as last year. The Senior Pyramid squad gave a fine exhibition for the Ladies' Auxiliary at the State Hospital.

One benefit game was played for one of the sick members. The money from this game added to some donated by members of the Senior class made a total of a.little over $10 which was presented to our sick classmate by Mr. Nickerson and Mr. Roessler. The final exhibition was given April 1ith and 15th in which all classes took part, demonstrating the work of the physi- cal department during the year. The exhibition was a great succes: al- though the gate receipts were small. ‘The ‘Election of Officers. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, James L.

North Stonington is divided against itself as a result of the arrest recently of Leonard R. Main, the postmaster, and other members of his family, on the charge of breach of the peace, in aseaulting William Bdwards and Cal- vin O. Geer. Bitter feeling has been engendered by the arrests and the outcome of a hearing Monday morning is being awaited with great interest ‘The arrests are caused by a contro- versy over property lines. Some time ago members of the Main family pur- chased a house and lot in the village. ‘When Brown was owner of the prop- erty he built a plazza on the house, which it is claimed brought the house to the property line. When the Mains bought the place they claimed several feet beyond the piazza, which would extend thé property line out into the street. The s then attempted to well in the property, and when people walked on the sidewalk - they were made the targets of potatoes and other objects, alleged to have been thrown by the Mains. It Is claimed that the Mains even went so far as to point guns at anyone who attempted to use the sidewalk which they claim is their | persons who used the sidewalk who were assaulted, it is claimed. Bd~ wards and Geer complained to the au- thorities and Grand Juror Bdgar W. Chapman issued warrants for the ar- rest of Postmaster Main, who runs a general store; his father, Leonard Main, who assists him; his brother, Floyd Main; who is a rural mail car- rier, and his mother, Mrs. Annie Main. The warrants were served and the Mains placed under arrest. Immediately there developed a strong sentiment either for or against the Mains. Hverybody took sides either one way or the other, and the place is now divided into factions, which do not hesitaté to show their feeling in more ways than one. Nelther side bas resorted to violence as yet, but feeling is so intense that there is no telling when it may develop. The hearing against the Mains is scheduled for 10 o'clock Monday morn- ing in. the town hall, and it is expected that the whole community will be on hand. The hearing will be before Jus- tice of the Peace Thomas E. Troland of New London. o L SRR ARRESTED STRIKER WITH VICIOUS LOOKING KNIFE. Seventeen Year Old Italian Was Car- rying Six Inch Blade.
