LOCAL NURSES AT STATE ASS'N MEETING Eight From TRis City Attended Gath- ering in Waterbury. Eight nurses from Norwich, bers of the Graduate Nurses' Asso- clation of Connecticut attended the quarterly meeting held in Waterbury, Wednesday. The executive committee held its meeting at 10 a. m. The sec- retary of the organization appealed to the membership committee for thirty new members for this meeting and re- ceived thirty-six. The president, Miss Mary Grace Hils of New Haven, read a message t hv her to the mational committee 'WAS CONVICTED FOR RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS. Barnet Greenblat Wants Committee to " Restore His Forfeited Rights. .Hearing was given Wednesday af- ternoon by the legislative committee on forfeited rights on the bill to re- store rights lost by reason of the com- mission of crime to Barnet Greenblat of New London. He is a junk dealer and was convicted of receiving stolen goods, with full knowledge that the #oods were stolen. T owoo Every Niql!f mem- ing th sociation message was approved by the members and the National An- them suns. Miss ¥lorence Redfield of New Ha- delezate to the National conven- tion of the American Red Cross,. held in December, gave a very interesting report. A special session was held for the chapter delegates on the morn i December 1ith and Miss lano, chairman of the National com- mittee, said they were most anxtous to establish a definite and satisfactory relation between Red Cross chapters local committees on nursing ser- TRAVELERS' DIRECTORY Miss Redfield mentioned as one of the most important activities of the past vear, the establishment of base hospital units. by many of the super- intendents of training schools of the leading hospitals, and the local com- mittees on Red Cross Nursing service have all been asked to organize at least, one emergency detachment. of 10 nurses each—twenty-two are already orgenized—also fifteen Red Cross Navy detachments of twenty nurses each have been organized. This was accomplished: in the interest of pre- paredness, and when the call came last summer, from the surgeon general of the army for nurses for service on the Mexican border, it was not difficult to send one hundred and _ forty-four nurses to military hospitals to Texa: New Mexico. and Arizona. Another form of deveiopment of this organization has been the formation of classes of instruction in elementary hygeiene and home care of the sick, and the special course adopted at the last annual meeting including first aid lessons. Six thousand, five hunrred and fiftylfive pupils have received in- struction and more than half that number certificates have been issued. The object of this instruction is to enable everyone to receive intelligent nursing carein time of peace and to have = well prepared hody of women to act as nurses’ aids. A course in the preparation of surgical dress\ngs has been established and large clases In- structed. It was impressed upon the delegates that the watchwords of the orgamization, in regard to the present European war was Humanily— neutrality—and Miss Redfield’s state- ment that it is still Humanily—neu- trality was was enthusiastically re- ceived This report was followed by a ad- dress by Miss Annie Goodrich, of Teachers’ College, . Columbia Uni- versity, N. Y. on Revision — after which foilowed a very interesting. dis- cussion . In this work is involved the work of establishing district associa- tions, in the state, dividing it up so fhat the nurses of the smaller centers can come more in touch with each oth- er. and Ly having a representative of the state society present-at each dis- trict meeting, enable them to keep in- formed in what is accomplished in the larger organizations. Mis« Goodrich in closing said that because of the present serious plight one one natlon, sho could not refrain from saying, that she hoped and felt sure that the day was not far dis- tant when just as the nurse by her tactful calmness leads a délirious pa- tient to bed, when two orderlies have given up, so women wil lead the leaders of nations through troubles, and war will be ro more. $1.25 To New York $1.25 CHELSEA LINE TO NEW YORK FREIGHT AND PASSENGER SERVICE BETWEEN NORWICH AND NEW YORK From Norwich Tuesdays, Thurs- days, Sundays a 5 p. m.

RABBi ROSENBERG RECEIVES NOTICE FROM COMMITTEE. Food Clothing and Fuel Greatly Need- ed in Russia. Rabbi Joseph Rosenberg, treasurer of ihe local Jewish War Relief com- mittee, has received the following com- munication from headquarte: A telegram signed by Baron Alex- ander Gungzberg, chraiman, Jewish Re- jief committee dated Petrograd, Janu- ary 1€, just received reads as follows: Our ‘central committee now extends relief to 238,000 people forming 51,000 families of which 38 per cent. are either deprived of the fathers, or the family heads. Thirty-seven per cent. are children below fourteen years and 15 per cent. aged and sick, making 52 per cent. who are unemploved. Thanks to organization of labour assistance, a third part of refugees gradual ceases to require support. However, more ahan a half still need serious re- lief for food, housing, clothing and fuel. Government aids Jewish refu- gees through our committee, but this aid is very limited. Aiming at grad- ual reduction, government allows eight roubles monthly for food, housing and tuel, for 105,000. Owing to unprece- dented dearness this help is utterly in- sufficient and bas to be completed out of philanthropic resources. For up- keep of children below school age and of schaol children in day nurseries and schools, the government grants 75,000 roubles monthly; for ~ clothing and footwear 50,000 roubdles; for medical help 25000 roubles. Altogether about 100,000 roubles monthly. Sums expended by our committée include one million roubles for occupied Gal- icla, one and a half millions additional relief for clothing, linens and boots in Russia, 400,000 roubles for fuel, which is very expensive and goes in great quantities owing to winter time, and 750,000_roubles for small loans. Con- tinted mobilization and the necessity of keeping up soldiers’ familles, ab- sorbs considerable means of local Jewish ‘communitles, so that no large philanthrapic gontributions for refu- gees can be expected from Russian Jewes. The nearest future budget for | food, housing, fuel, schools, labour and assistance to refugees is estimated at 1,800,000 roubles monthly. For relief in occupied Galicia 150,000 roubles and 200,000 roubles for relief of population in war area, where no committees work and no government penetrates. Al- together, 2,150,000 roubles are required monthly, to defray which we may count upon, one milion. roubles from government and 250,000 roubles from local philanthropic ~ resources, thus 800,000 roubles monthly are wanting. Besides sums specially designated, we have 150,000 roubles in cash in hand and 800.000 with JCA. This money is gradually being used up and a reficit is unavoldable. We therefore urgent- ly pray to send us the money wanting for the mext fpur or at least three months.

ADMINISTRATION REVENUE BILL AGREED UPON By Democrats of Senate—It is De. signed to Raise - Approximately $250,000,000. Washington, Feb. 8—The adminis- tration revenue bill, designed to raice approximately %$250000,000, and au- thorizing a bond issue of $100,000,000, was virtually azreed upon today by the democrats of the senate finance committee. Tt will be submitted .to the democratic caucus for approval tomorrow night. Efforts to induce the committee to reduce or eliminate the proposed ex- cess profit tax of eight per cent. on net inccmes of co-partnerships. and corporations, were unavailing. It was decided, however, to elarify the lan- guage of the measure. as it passed the house in order that there may be no. misconstruction. .The oxemption of Hartford, Feb. S.—Senator Stephen Whitney of New Haven occupied the chair in the senate today in the ab- sence of Licutenant Governor Wilson. The latter cailed thc senate to order, but vacated the chair immediately af- ter praver by Chaplain Fennell. On the recommendation of the com- mittee on conference the bill making an appropriation of $1,000,000 for the construction of state roads was re- ferred to the committee on roads, bridges and rivers. It was previously referred by the senate to the commit- tee on appropriations and by the house to the committes on roads, bridges and rivers. No State Constabulary. “The committee on the judiciary re- ported unfaverably on the bill to cre- ate a mounted ' state constabulary. Senator Klett said that no one ap- peared for or against the measure, The report of the committee was accepted and the bill was rejected. The bill concerning the evasion of To Remedy Mail Delays. Confidential instructions of the see- ond assistant postmaster general for a reorganization of the railway mail ser- vice, unearthed recently by Senator Hardwick of Georgia, of the senate postoffice committee, reek with injunc- tions to save car space in the trans- portation of the malls and an indis- criminate dropping _or reduction of members of his force of skilled clerks. Saving space in mail cars these days helps a bit toward a departmentd: surplus and dropping or reducing high- Iy trained mall distributors has the same result. The two combined make for serious mail delays. Urges Mobilization of Food Supply.
