Ely of Boston and Representative Samuel H. Davis of Westerly were the speakers Thursday evening at a large gathering held for the purpose of creating more interest in Red Cross work. The meeting was in the tabernacle on Elm street. Mr. Gardner spoke of the patriotic part the Red Cross is playing, Mrs. Ely of the .methods employed by the organization and Mr. Davis In regard to the needs of the Westerly chapter. The Wester- iy band marched to the tabernacle and with accompanying soloists furnishd music during the evening. Up to Thursday afternoon 1,605 aliens of the town had filled out regis- tration papers.

Clerk Herbert Caswell of the supe- rior court for Washington county was obliged to change his plans yesterday in regard to coming to Westerly today (Friday) for the purpose if issuing naturaiization papers.

About ten acres of land in Westerly, divided into ten plots, have been as- signed to high school pupils for culti- vation as a part of the garden exten- sion plan which was inaugurated among the students several weeks ago. Yesterday Principal Sheldon of the high school said that 40 boys had of- fered their service to the farmers who might be in need of help, but thus far there had not been a great demand for their services. The plots in Westerly being worked by high schoo! students are as follows: Vose plot No. 1, Arthur Mills, Theo- Gardening—Sale for Benefit of Blind Workers. —_— .
