GOES TO RUSSIA Rev. M. McLean Goldie Will Take Up Y. M. C. A. Work Across the Ocean. Res T McLean Goldie, a former rector of Grace Episcopal church, Yan- |tic, will soon leave for Russia where e wiil take up Y. M. C. A. work. The |Service News, a paper published at Fort Terry, N: Y. has the following paragrap! Many of Mr. Goldie’s friends were on hand last Wednesday afternoon to bid him goodbye and good luck on his trip to Russia. It is certain that ev- {eryone felt that they were losing a |Bo0d friend for he surely had a way jabout him that won the good fellow- ship of all and his leaving the work hera is sincerely resretted. The work in Russia that he s about to undertake is the most hazardous of all the Y. M. C. A. fields, and will take him into untold hardships on the eastern front with the Russian armies where there are practically mo. com- |forts or conveniences. Even the act- val necessities are very scarce as they |were advised to take quantities of canned goods, chocolate, etc, with them it is doubtful whether they could have found a hetter man for the work than Mr. Goldje, whose wide experi- ence as a missionary in the Canadlan northwest, Indig, and Austraila has ex- peciaily fitted him for a work of this kind, and the hearty good wishes of the whole post for his success go with him.

WHY TELEPHONE OFFICE ' MOVE WAS MADE A Step Ror Morc Economical Direct and Efficient Management. The rearrangement of our territory into two divisions, comprising the five telephone districts in our state and the assisnment to new duties of many of the company’s force in the fleld, which became operative July 2nd, was a step taken for the more economical, direct and efficient management of departments, he Tele. trafic and ¥s the August phone Builetin. It was an organization plan adopted after long and thoughtful considera- tion and is in accord with the most approved systems of organization in force in other télephone companies similarly situated in respect to terri- tory covered. In a general way the assignment to new duties of some of cur force was made solely to bring about a more smoothly operating bus- iness organization, by placing these men_in positicns for which each one is especially well adapted and, in which each man will undoubtedly render. to the company tha fullest measure of his specialized abil To the men in- volved in the changes ordered by the recent organization bulletins, an ex- cellent opportunity has been presented to display their full value to the eom- nd that each wiil avail himself opportunity and make the most no one will doubt, As is now _generally understood throughout the field the changes were not generally in the way of promo- tions or demotions for any of the men concerned except that the added responsibilities imposed on some of our force may be regarded as promo- tions _to positions of greater trust and and importance in the company's af- fairs. - On' the whole the new organization plan was designed and cafried out with the modern business. prineiple in mind of placing each of the employes involved. in a position where he will prove up to.his full worth to himself and to the company. Undler the new organization in the field the state 15 divided into two do- visions, Western and_Fastern, with Mr. W. W.

No Letup Shown Since Health Officer Ordered It Closed. plant issue of Business at the C. M. Shay company fertilizer plant shows no_letup since the order of the health officer to close the place. One carlodd of stuff was shipped from the station Monday to Worces- ter, and while no material is coming by ‘way of the New Haven road, plenty of it is being brought by aufotruck. County Health Officer Arthur M. Brown said at the hearing last week that if the plant was not closed im- mediately he should take the case to the superior court and secure an in- junction. In that event it is thought that a hearing will be aeked for anw an at- tempt made to have the injunction dis- solved. By the time all this has been sone through with summer will be over. Neighbors who were somewhat heartened over the order to close the plant and who felt that some part of the summer wouldl be left them to enjoy out of doors are despondent. APPEAL TO D.’A. R.

Johnson Deputy for New London Gounty. The pouse to house canvass for the Food for France Fund is now being carried on in Norwich. All through ‘onnecticut the work is going on and Norwich hopes to contribute a gener- ous proportion toward this necessary, object. Mrs. Oliver L. Johneon is deputy for New_ London county aml assisting her in Norwich is the following com- mittee of ladies: Mrs, Hugh H. Os- good, Mrs. J. Henry Selden, Mrs. Willis Austin and Mrs, Abner B. Hill. These and other ladies will solicit money to provide the actual necessities in the line of fcod for our French allies. Al- ready voluntary and unsolicited con- tributions have been handed Mrs. Johnson to the amount of $37. It is guaranteed that absolutely no one receives a cent of commission and that no portion of any donation is re- served for any kind of administrative expense. Every penny will go_into foodstuffs, boyght under careful saper- vision and shiliped direct to the French government. Do you know that when this country was fighting for its liberty over 100 years ago France contributed $700,000,- 000, asked one of the local workers Tuesday. Think what the value of that would mean put into today's currency. We have the mongy, we have the food here; we must give, and #ve now, and 'keep on giving. We are allies. France reeds our gifts of food—the kind necessary to life and bone and sinew making, which she cannot pro- duce nor buy in sufficient quantity on her own soil today. Let us open our pockets and make the gift worthy of our admiration for the nation whose courage and endurance passes all words. l PEACH CANNING BEST ABOUT SEPT. 10-15. So Frank W.
