A medical appeal board for this ex- emption district for the national draft will probably be named in this city soon. This board will contain sev- eral doctors to whom all . doubtful cases, will be referred of .men who think that_they should be exempted. Captain Dr. Chester Brown of Dan- bury was. in .this city Tuesday con- sulting with Dr. R. C. White, chair- man of the Windham county commit- tee on sanitation and medicine for the Connecticut State Council of Defense. Captain _Brown is chairman of the same committee in the state commit- tee of the council of defense. His cisit was unlooked for in this ecity and as a consequence, nome of the doctors could be found wh) were not busy so Captain Brown explained the cbject of the medical appeai board to Dr. White. Captain Brown will probably sélect the members of the board, and if they are passed by Governor Holcomb, the list will be sent to Washington, D. C.. to be ratified by President Wiison. Dr. C. E. Simonds will not be on this list, since he is already a mem- ber of the local exemption: board. Oath Administered to New Mayor. Charles A. Gates, who defeated Dan- iel P.

T, with about 75 other men from New Ens- land, visited Camp Devens and we were amazed at its size. There are over 40,000 men there, and they have complete fire and water deparfments. There is a base hospital for 1,000 and when wa were there there were 500 in it. There are fifteen Y. M. C.

This cam- paign is for members, and after the members will come the social. physical and community work. Each of the workers should report to his captain every evening, before nine o'cléck and Monday evening, the night that the campaign closes, we will have a house: warming at which all of the workers and the new members should be pres- ent. The memberships may be paid for on the partial payment plan, the only condition being that 20 per cent. shall be paid when it is taken out. The executive committee was the first team. to zet a nef member, Mr. Case of Norwich, who took out a non- resident sustaining membership, giv- ing a “fat” payment. The different teams, which are the same as in the Red Triangle War Work campaign with the exception of teams sevan and eight. which have combined under the leadership of Ar- thur Andrews, with practically new members, all of them young men and they have set out to beat the other teams. .
