Really the most important part will come next month —the harvest reason, says Home Gar- den Supervisor Alfred C. Shelden in his final report on the home gardens conducted the past summer in this eity. His report follows: During the past two month: my ‘work hi been rargely of follow-up nature of projects already started earlier in the spring. However, con- siderable time has been spent in work Ing up and carrving out of a food con- servation campaign. The detalled re- port follows: Garden - Visits. The system of monthly garden meet- ings as reported in my previous re- port were suftessfully continued dur- ing July and August. At these meet- ings the necessity of spraying for the potato beetle, potato-plight and potato aphis were strongly emphasized in turn as well as proper thinning out ana cultivation of _ vegetables. At these meetings the individual aiffcul- ties of each gardener were taken up right at his plot. At the second round of these meetings, the record books were inspected and suggestions a to the proper keeping of them made. The percentage properly keeping these books is not so large as hoped for as there are so many foreigners. How- ever, there will be enough books prop- erly kept so that it will be possible-for us to determine what it costs to run a 50x100 garden and about . wiat it should yield. At least 830 per cent. of the gatdeners have asked me wheth- er the gardens will ‘be available for them next vear, expressing a desire to be_allotted one again if possible. Between these monthly meetings the gardens were inspected about every 10 days and anything that needed at- tention was noted and brought to the gardener’s nqtice by post card. On July 31st the Home Gardens committee with Treasurer G. H. Lor- ing. secretary, H. R. Branche present and Mrs. J. J. Desmond, general man-. mger of the Community Cannery and Mrs. Haviland, representing theé® Wo-. men's National Service League, made. a tour of the Home Gardens accom- panied by the Home Garden supervis: or. Every section in the city was vis- ited from Thamesville to Occum, at the conclision of the trip all expressed | themselves as being quite satisfled well pleased with the fine sl which thev found the gardens. The gardens are all yielding wel! and the harvesting of the crops is now progressing in fine shape. Every gar- den that was started under our sup: vision this spring is still producing and will finish the season greatly to the advantage of its holder. In fact sev- €ral of the gardeners have told me that they will take over $50 worth of product from their gardens. Food Conservation Campaign. Ordinarily in any garden there is a large amount of produce that goes to waste and, with the increased number after spending a week with Miss Ethel Coleman of 48 Schoo! street. held Wednesday morning from™ his late home on Boswell avenue at 8.30. Services were held in the Sacred Heart church at 9 o'clock with Rev. . O. Bellerose officiating, assisted by ather Massicot of Taftville and Fa- ther Kennedy of Greeneville. The two French societies to which the de- ceased belonged acted as honorary bearers. The active bearers were J. Bushie, Amedic Pieon, _ Edward Adams, Joseph Breault and Narcissus Raymond. There was a large attend- ance, relatives being present from New' TLondpn, Jewett City and W limantic. Interment was in St. Jo- seph’s cemetery. Undertaker George G.

Therefore during the months of July and August the garden supervisor carried on a Food Conservation campaign in Norwich and vicinity, along with the regular gardtn work. The town divided iInto sections and with the help of School Garden Su- pervisor G. A. Harvey, general com- mittees were worked up in each mec- tion to look after making the neces- sary arrangements for a canning dem- onstration. A hall for the demonstra.. tion was secured, proper publicity and posters put out and whenever possible the services of Miss N. J. Campbell, home demonstration agent of the Farm Bureau were obtained to give the dem onstration. Otherwise the Home Garden supervisor assisted by the School Garden supervisor gave the demonstration. Demonstrations. have been given at Taftville Velvet Mills, Occum hall, West Side Colonlal club, West Sids Jewish soclety, Firemen's hall, Yantic, and the Laurel Hill School house. The demonstration at Taftville was given in one of the mill rooms to 45 of the women employes who showed great fn- terest. By these demonstrations it was possible to reach many of the smaller communities and people that otherwise would not have been reach- d, also a large number of foreigners were reached who knew mothing of canning and who showed great inter- est, asking many questions. Boy Scouts. Since my last report the Boy Scouts have kept the worst of the weeds out of their kean patch but have been han- dicapped greatly by the fact that an exceptionally large perventage of them are working this summer. During the week of August 1ith, Boy Scout troop meetings were held and a sched- ule of working days made out. In this way better care of the field was secur- ed and the prospects are now good that they will get considerable better than their money back when the beans are harvested.

The record books which ‘have been given out should be collected and the figures tabulated. 2. The harvesting and “narketing of the Boy Scout beans must be looked after. Recommendations For Next Year. It -possible it should now be detérm- ined whether the gardens will be con- tinued another vear and 1f they are to be. much of the land already in use could be sectred again much _easler this fall than next spring. Applications for a garden next vear could be se- cured from those now having a garden quite easily. Much of the land could be fall plowed to both financial advan- tages and good of the land.

Sn.cks Gets $7.50 Weokly During His ability. Compensdtion at the rate of $7.50 a week diring disability resulting from an injury received on July 2lst has ‘been awarded Jacob W. Spicks of Mystic, claimant, against the Grootn Iron works of Noank. Mr. Spicks has also been awarded payment of his physiciar’s bill of $27 by the Tespon- dents in the case. The award was madé by Compensation Commissioner Jantes J. Donohue and wac made pub- lic on Welinesday afternoon. The hearing was held in the comgmissioner's gffice in this eity on last ay morn- n %he heartng was called to determine whether or not the claimant shoulfl be reimbursed for the, money expend- ed by h'm for surgical attendance ren- dered by a specialist whem he called on_the day following nis Injury. From the testimony it 3 found that, the injury recelved by the claimant on July 21st, 1917, resuited in temporary total disability’ from that date up to the time of the hearing and will prob- ably continue for ome few weeks Ionger., It is further found that after the in- Jury occurred a local physician was summoned, but it was noc possidle to| get the >egular physiclan of the com- pany, who happened to be away at the time. During the night following the injury the employe was taken with considerable pain on account of the swelling of the limb, and he summon- ed in another doctor, who gave more or less attention to this paiticular line of work. The bill rendered by the second inedical attendant amounted to $25, which' was paid by she claimant, and he testified at the hearing that another visit would be necessary, e MRy which would bring .the total bill to and that is the only claim for medical attention made b the injured employe in this instance. Tt is ciaimed by the representative for the respondents that, if the employe Qesired other medical attention than that furnished by his employer, h should have notified the =mployer o given the employer an cpportunity to provide competent surgical atiend- ance which was not done in this case. This, of course, is more or less true, but the course pursued by the claim- ane in the prsent case wos due to a considerable , extent to nis Vack of knowledge as to the exact ccurse which he should have pursued under the ex- isting _circumstances. In view of the fact that the claim ant was not £s familiar with the law as he should have been, and the fact that he was unable to procure the services of the company's rcgular phy- sictan in the beginning, also the fact that the bill rendered by the physician called in by rhe claimant was a very reacanable one, .t {s found that the Dill of the physician for services ren- dered is reasonable and just and the commissioner approves i: Compencation for Husband’s Death. The second finding is in the case of Lucy Sandocrocce De Angelo of New London, widow of Salvator De Angelo; claimant, against Holbrook. Cabot & Rollins Corp. of. New Lonrdon. The award in this case is that the respon- dents sudll poy to the claimant $300 (3160 as providea for funeral expens and $200 for other necessary and im- mediate needs) and that compensation shall be paid to the claimant at the rate of 12.41 weekly for a period not to exceed 312. This award is subject to modification in view of possible change i circumstances. The hearing was held .last Iriday It is ‘ound that the dccedent had been employed by the respondent em- ployer at the bridge in New London for about a year in the capacity of a carpenter, and according Lo the report of the iajury sent fin by tne insurer, on’ the 15th Gay of August, 1917, he was cleaning up on tne-bridge job and was miseed by the gang 'a which he ! was working, and probably fell from the bridge into the river below, his body being recovered by a diver. ie was last seen on wl No. 3 form between 2 on Aug. 15th, 1917.
