Reports to date which have been received by the state tuberculosis commission indicate that approximate- 1y 2,900,000 Red Cross Christmas seals were sold in Connecticut this past season. There are still a large number of reports to be received from local agents and the commission is confi- dent that the total sale will be con- siderably over three million, which would be an increase of about 20 per cent. aver last year's sale. In 1914, the first year that the state tuberculosis commission took charge of the sale of Red Cross seals, the net sale was 1,800,000, which was an in- crease of about 80 per cent. over the previous; and in‘1915 the sale amount- ed to 2,500,000, an increase of about 40 per cent. 'The net proceeds from the sale of seals will be used by the va- rious organizations throughout the state for tuberculosis relief work in their respective towns and cities. The state tuberculosis commission considers that the sale this year has been especially gratifying in view of the numerous other demands for as- sistance to the suffering humanity in Europe.

That the annual convention of the icut State Grange has been of to Norwich seems to opinion prevailing among the local business houses. A canvass of the local stores has been made with a most gratifying result. A few of the answers of the canvasser’s questions follow ‘The manager of one of the leading hotels speaks of the Patrons of Hus- bandry in the highest terms—Nicest people in the world, said he. Our ho- tel was filled to capacity. He believes conations are good for a town. The manager of one of our larg- est lunch rooms reports an extra good business.

State Highway Commissioner Ben- nett sent his biennial report to Gov- ernor Holcomb Friday. One of his chief recommendations was that where trunk highways had been subject to much repairing the old macadam or gravel surface should be replaced by concrete or a concrete base. The total expenditures in_his department _for 1914-15 were $2,235,360 and for 1915-16 $1,950,947. The decrease in expendi- tures the past vear was in the state and road work and was due to the fact that the last legislature made no ap- propriation for this account and so towns did not ask for money under the_act. The commissioner points out the necessity of 2 new bridge over the Housatonic river between Stratford and Milford and also renews his rec- ommendatlons for reconstruction of the Thames river brilige for highway pur- poses. e L Unclaimed Letters.

Andrews, of New Britain, sceretary of the Connecticut Chamber of* Commerce, was the principal speaker at the.opening night of the chamber of commerce, which was held Friday night and which was very largely attended. _ President James called the meeting to order after a three-piece orchestra undeF. the direction of John Swahn had given an excellent concert cony of all the latest pleces, President James' stated that the rooms were open every day and that the secrefary would be on hand to and the minutes of the previous meet- ing were read by Secretary Branche and accepted as read. - Presiderit James attended the meet- ing of the state chamber which was held in Hartford Thursday and he re- ported on some of the important mat- ters which came before the state as- sembly. President James referred to the request from the state board of health, which is trying to secure a re- organization, and which matter will come before the session of the legisia- ture. The health department wants power as in the case of an epidemic of disease. At the present time the powers of the health officers are lim- ited. There is also a bill before the legisiature which would reorganize the secretary of state’s department in his jurisdiction relative to the motor ve- hicle law and place the jurisdiction -with the state highway commissioner. ‘There is another matter which will come before this session of the legis- lature regarding the solicitation from out of town for missionary purposes and institutions. It is proposed to pass a law which requires the solicitor to secure a license from the police de- partment in the city where the solicit- ing is to be_ done. President James said that at the next meeting of the board of directors of the state chamber of commerce Dr. Sykes, president of the Connecticut Colleze for Women at New Londom, will speak on the need of dormitories at the college. Referendum No. 19, which deals on prevention of railroad strikes and lockouts, sent out by the National Chamber of Commerce for the local chamber to express its opinion on, was partially adopted. President James announced that the i board of directors of the local cham- | ber have selected an efficient secretary in Herbert R. Branche, who in a few well chosen words expressed his desire for the keen support of the members of the chamber. Secretary Branche referred to the last meeting of the board of directors when James L, Case appeared before the hoard and accept- TR i r Busimss Man Atter thd strain of the long business day, with its nerve- rac and brain-wearying and troubles, there will be olesome and refreshing .umnxu.wn if you will take a of delicious Bass Strong Burton Ale On Draught Everywhere Bass & Co.

He said that the chamber has at present 266 members and that the | slogan of the campaign will be 300 members in one day. President James then introduced the principal speaker of the evening, A. | H. Andrews of New Britain, secretary | of the Connecticut Chamber of Com- merce. Secretary Andrews expressed his pleasure at being present to lend his support to the work. He said he was unfamiliar with the local situa- tion, but, he said, I am convinced that your real purpose is going to succeed according to, the fine representation here tonight. You have the goods and will get results. I ask, why are you here? For en- tertainment or because something is wrong Because you each know some social. municipal or business condi- tions which are not as good as you think they should be in the city of Norwich, the country or state. But no two of you will agree on details. In this great and sometimes called free country where we say we have a gov- ernment by, of. and for the people, 1t is sometimes hard to realize. Only certain of the activities are included in the government and other than gov- ernmental bodies must be provided to care for those matters for which gov- ernment agencies are not _organized, and the need of this sort of organiza- tion has been realized. In the last 10 to 12 yvears the organization of the chamber of commerce has really got to the point where it is felt in a com- munity, Tt is the real agency that is filling the gap between the govern- ment and the people. To properly orzanize a chamber of ‘commerce. there must first be a clear and defigite purpose. Then a machine designed to carry out .the purpose. There are four things which are es- sential—the purpose, machine, proper operation and power. Exercise a great deal of care in establishing a purpose to which no one can take ex- ception. Your organization's real pur- pose is to make Norwich a better Place to live, a better place for busi- ness. Trouble comes when we pick out definite things to do. 1 could enu- merate a number of things which some would agree on and others would not. The chamber | of commerce should not be organized to gzive di- rect personal service except that which will be a benefit or an injury to others. The chamber of commerce is a business and should be conducted in_a business way and the principle essentials to any business are desir- able commedity, production. efficient callina L e ol money is what makes the organization go. The city of Norwich entitied proportion to an organization as efficient a good as any other city to its_size. just a few remarks about A large membership is not everything, although it is ideal Don’'t atfempt to get into the n- ization one who can't afford p the fee. The most effective part the campaign for membership before starting is to have a list of zood pects, Go after the men who want to see Norwich w and grow right. et that kina of men and eliminate the others. Be fair in everything you do. Don’t always take action on the majority of opinion. Be sure you have the facts. Be reasonably sure you are right and then go ahead. Don’t_figure the big thing vou. Have a little vision, for a m: Without a, vision is.no use to a com- munity. The chamber of commerce. is the mouthpiece. of the people und s of much worth to the city.
