Polk: The many friends of Mrs. Roger, W. Polk, nee Flora Ella Nash, will be greatly surprised and deeply grieved to hear of her death which occurred at her home in Providence early Fri- day morning. Born in Norwich In the Hubbara mansion, on which site the post office now stands, she was the youngest child of Asa and Emily Corning Nash. Owing to her charming personal qualities she easily became a social favorite of her time. On February 25, 1879, she was unit ed in marriage by Rev. L. P. Black- ford to Curtis P. Wing, removing to Burlington, Vt, and later removing to Providence, R. I. A daughter by this marriage died in infancy. After the death of Mr. Wing. Mrs. Wing spent two years travelling extensively through this country. On October 17. 1904 she was united in marriage by Rev. James Coote, D. D., to Roger Willlams Polk of Prov- idence. Of late years Mrs. Polk has lived In St. Louis and was prominent- ly identified with the best social life of that city. She was a_member of Faith Trumbull chapter, D. A. in which she took a lively Interest. Many friends will remember Mrs. Polk as 2 charming and sracious woman, cul- tured and refined, loyal in . her fyendships and charitable to all, and news of her passing will bring a feen sense of sorrow to all who knew er. Besides her husband two sisters sur- vive her, Mrs. Warrington D. Roath of San Francisco, Cal, and Mrs. John Irish of this city and also several nieces and a nephew. Carrie May Button. (Contributed.) On February 11, near the close of a beautiful earthly Sabbath, Carrie May Button passed peacefully away at her home in Hanover, Conn., to that land where Sabbaths will have no end. She was surrounded by those near and dear to her, who did all in_their gow- er to minister to her comfort till the During the many months of il health, her suffering was bourne with the same rare patience and Christian fxt;ume which bad marked her whole e. She was born in Canterbury, forty-four years ago, the daughter of the late Merril Button and Carolin Peckham Button. She became a reg- ular attendant of Westminster Con- gregational church and Sunday school. When only a girl of tender years she united with that church and was for several years a teacher in the Sun- day school, which she had so much learned to love and esteem. She was also one of the charter members of the Westminster C. E. society, and was always willing to take an active part in promoting its welfare. Later wfen new circumstances and opportunities came, she was for quite period of years a resident of Killing- Iy, but she never lost interest in her home church or any of its organiza- tions. For the past. four years, she has resided with her mother in §Hanover, being forced to give up work and a more active life on account of I ‘health. Always devoted to her ;l)envm and heard the m- “Wel.l one.” Miss Button is survived l’y a moth- er, Mrs. Caroline Button, two sisters, Mrs. Myron Allen ang Miss Jennie Button. also a nephew, Raymond Al- 'l'he funeral was held at Button' home in Hmnv’:r' el prevention. Mr. Lee emphasized the fact that it was a great pleasure for him.to ad- dress a Connecticut audience and it was only about three years ago that he made such a statement while trav- eling through New England and Con- necticut. He said he experienced a pe- culiar feeling of familiarity and in an- alyzing this feeling he found that the feeling was mostly due to the streak of New England blood in him. So Mr. Lee said he feels at home in Con- necticut and the Rose of New Ensgland. Mr. Lee stated that the question of fire is like the acute angle of a trian- gle, the base of which is prevention. Fires Due to Carelessness. You may have the notion that fires are inevitable but the chief causes of fire are due to carelessness. There was a time when we had strong con- victions and ideas, and Mr. Lee ex- plained that the man of that time was a careful man becapse he had the community’s interest at heart. Nowa- days instead of comvictions, haven’t we opinions, he asked. Do we know of anything about spiritual longings? I tell you we can’t give, accept or throw away anything without consid- eration. What hay~ we done-with our franchise? We hz%= shoved it out to other hands. There is the basis of our careless which is the basis of fire prevention. . Referring tunher to lines of pre- vention, Mr. Lee said See that your hufldfl!‘ codes are up to date. Cut - out wooden shingled roofs. Here Mr. Lee explained that he d@id not mean to have houses with wooden shingles at the present elimi- nated but when repairs are made see that changes are made. _Continuing he said: Abolish wooden fences as a large number of fires are started in and around wooden fences. Have your business district inspected; inspect the offices and other buildinss to see if the r regulations are carried cut. What control have you over your gar- ages and dry cleaning a-u.huzhmenu-" Furthermore, such inspections will be better for it will react on the fire de- partment as it will give them a clear understanding of the ins and outs of buildings, houses, etc. I would advise in the town of Norwich that every building including homes be inspected once a year. Care is the best insur- ance. When you travel away from the base the next angle is fire pro- tection. FHave you plenty of water R I e T e R S e P S S S Lo e CONCERT PROGRAM AT MT. CALVARY CHURCH. George Washington Celebration Was Admirably Carried Out. A George Washington birthday con- cert was very successfully carried out under the direction of Mrs. Charles Hall Thursday evening at Mt.

Does your fire de- partment give you the uitimate of its capacity Mr. Ifie I-!led how often the clflef is elected and when informed that the chief is elected every two years he gave reasons opposing such a short term. Continuing asking questions, Mr. Lee said: How is your apparatus, horse-drawn or motor driven? Have you equipped your chief officers with motors? No man or men can do the best in them unless the city shows ap- Have you a pension Yist Suppose a fireman led, llll family? It is the duty of the fire- man to protect property and life with- out ‘costs to himself. If you have a good man at the head of the fire de- partment give him what he wants. It is a good investment. Mr. Lee spoke of the excellent fire chief the city of New York has and then he said: You have a good man in Norwich. Praise for Chief Stanton. You have at the head of your de- partment in Norwich a man of na- tional and international reputation. At a recent meeting of the National Fire Prevention Convention, I'find that Chief Stanton stood up and gave such an instructive and wise talk on me- chanics that the convention delegates were amazed and delighted. Perhaps you don't know it, but the standard- lud couplings of his own manufacture are being used widely. ‘The wealth of a nation or commu- nity doesn’t lie in the value in dollars but in things that make dollars val- uable. When you are working to cure lower insurance rates bear in mind that the spirit of the community imnn‘ua the examining board. Lee suggested that the ehlldren be instructed along of fire prevention by men in uniform. Mr. Lee said that he was proud of Norwich for one fact, that the very report that goes in the mtlon.l.l report of the fiscal ym cflmn this city. Each man m community spirit by pollclnl his needs first. Following Mr. Lee’s talk there were others who made remarks, including Chief Stanton who stated that the business section of the city is inspect- ed annually and a card index system of the bufldings kept. The chief told need of more men in the de- partment and other facts regarding the department were brought out.

AUTO THIEVES ARRESTED BY LOCAL POLICE. Two Are Charged With Stealing Ma- chine Providence Laurence A Brown, Brockton, 28, and Richard E. Justin, 20, were ar- rested early this (Saturday) morning by the local police and lodged in cells at police headquarters on the charge of stealing an automobile in Providence. The arrest was made by Sergeant Matthews in a- local lunch room be- tween one and two o'clock. The men have made a_clean breast of the theft of the cargwhich was a Studebaker and was taken Friday night. They ran into a _pole this side of Providence, came on by trolley to this city and were having a heated argument in the Matthews was in the lunch room, ished his lunch and overheard them taiking about the stolen car. They are being held for the Provi- dence pouu who have been notified of their capture. CHARTER DRAPED FOR MRS. OLIVE BULLAWD. Member of Sedgwick Wousan's Relief Corps. Sedgwick Woman Rellef m No. 16, met at three o’clock on according to a statement made Dy Joseph 'W. Alsop, the member of the special committee of assistants to the governor for the military census who is In charge of the office organ- fzation. The headquarters is now able to handle 50,000 to 60,000 blanks every day. Before tonight 150,000 census re- turns will have been tabulated and flled at the state headquarters. By taking care of 50,000 blanks a day, 300,000 census returns can be tabu- lated in the six days of next week. This accounts for 450,000 blanks, which probably will be close to the total for the entire state. If the number Is larger than this, running up to 500,000, it will be possible by securing addi- tional workers for the headquarters to complete them all within this time. Connecticut newspapers are absoe lutely loyal in their support of the military ce: s recently started in the state at the suggestion of Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb. Their loyalty has de lighted the governor and the members of the committee assisting him in car- rying out the state-wide census. Large city dailies and smail town weeklies are working loyally in this cause, do- ing everything they can—and they are able to perform a great service—to as- sist the census takers by putting be- fore the citizens complete knowledge of the plans. It is doubtful if there has ever been a project upon ~which Connecticut newspapers have been united as com- pletely as in this military census. ‘Without regard to politics, or anything else, upon which they usually disagree, the papers are standing together and grasping every opportunity to help. At the state headquarters in Hart- ford Friday the following statement wasg authorized: ‘The governor and his committee of assistants for the military census ap- preciate greatly the loyalty with which Connecticut newspapers have greeted the plan and have stood by it. Itis a credit to the press of the state that all of the papérs are so loyally sup- porting this plan for preparedness in Connecticut. The object of the census is to find out just what Connecticut | has in men and resources, and the newspapers, this, have stood behind us splendidly in our efforts.” Those who are in charge of the Con- necticut military census now being taken under the direction of Governor Marcus H. Holcomb are determined that the enrollment shall be complete. The census takers are seeing to it that the inventory of the state’s resources in men includes all who live within the borders of Connecticut. In addi- tion to this, however, the men at the state headquarters In Hartford are arranging to include in the census all Connecticut boys who are students at prep schools or in colleges, and have secured catalogues of all leading col- leges and prep schools to ald them in this work. At all colleges and schools outside the limits of the state where there are a number of Connecticut students ar- rangements are being made with the school authorities to have one Con- necticut boy at the school appointed as a census taker there, and this stu- dent will take the enroliment of all at the school whose homes are in Con- necticut. These census takers will recelve commissions from the gover- nor similar to those issued to men within the state who are taking the enrollments. The schools mnd col- leges in the state will be included in the census and the enrollments in them will be taken by the census takers of the towns or cities in which they are located. Every effort will be made to have d;l.ls military census absolutely com- plete. GRACE CIRCLE OBSERVED ITS 2D ANNIVERSAG/ Twenty-five Members and Friends Heard Excellently Rendered Pro- gram.
