The letter in part says: At ‘our last exeeqtlve meeting 1 was instructed to write and urge ‘upon our town chairmen -that any meeting held under their auspices should open with: the salute to the flag. The usual words of “salute, which might be said in ‘vmison, are: “T pledge allegiance to my flag and to the republic for which it stands—one’ country indivisi- ble with ‘liberty and justice for all.” ‘We urge, also, that before beginning an announcement be. made the singing of The Star glec ner the audience is re- quested not ‘to talk or put on wraps. ' We -hope, too, " that our town chafr- imen ‘will' make every effort to impress (upon the women of ‘the ‘town the matter ‘of a respectful bearing' when the-flag is passing on parade.

Higgins, has .a membership of 35 girls, mostly of Jew- and Miss Ina, two groups, one meeting at St. Mary's Convent and the other at the Public School. Each of these clubs have held four meetings, organization being accomplished at the first, and at each of the others, Miss Hallock has given demonstrations. These cover the Preparation of Cereals, Cream of Po- tato Soup, Vegetables in the Diet, Mumns, Bread Pudding, © Liberty ‘ead, ete. Esch club members is’ furnished in- structions and recipes are tried out by the club members in their homes. A “{record is kept of the dishes made and if the members of the home ljke the dish, the club member recives nn ex: tra ‘credit. This work is contimued for 12 weeks, when each member writes her cxpeflence in the form .of a story, a club exhibit is held, and gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded as prizes. Already, reports of the good vesults of this work are comijng in. Several families have purchased double bail- ers for the cooking of cereals, thus. making ‘ better use of ‘these .nouriéh- ing - products. One boy club member has become interested in preparing stuffed, haked potatoes, relieving his mother of the work and wishing the dish on the family as”often as they will stand for it. This is the sort of work that counts. A report on the food conservation ‘work with adults in Norwich was read by Mrs. Willis Austin. It follows: Food cong rvation along many lines, especially in canning fruits, should not be credited to the war. For years many housewives in - Norwich have canned fruit and some vegetahles and practiced many of the economies be- ing recommended by the United States Food Administration as war measures. These, bousewives realizing the value of such measures -in times of peace continue to' practice them more than ever before taking advantage of the demonstrations, recipes, and other material to be had. These, and those carrying out the recommndations. as war measures, are the workers of the food administration. . . The work is to awake every home to the necessity of each shouldering his share so_that the burden of the war may be borne by all and not by a few. All of the work of the Federal Food: Administration except its control of foods, falls on the Farm Bureay to carry out.. This re- port shows the work -already accom- plished by the Farm Bureau commits tées and its agents. While much has been: accomplished the work has just begun. Soon after war was declared the Farm Bureau organized .a Home Bconomics department, and employ- ed a. home demonstration agent with the: assistance of the Equal. Franchise League. During the summer -Miss Campbell with the assistance of Gar- den Supervisors A. C. Sheldon and G: A, Harvey gave a series of 10 canning demonstrations in Norwich. Over 900 women attended these demonstrations| which weer given at the Y., M, C. A., the West Side, Laurel Hill,, Yantic, Occum, Long Soclety -and the' J. B. Martin Co., mill. A lecture was also given to the grange and demonstra- tions and exhibits were made at the county fair which were viewed by ‘sev: eral thousand people. At these dem- onstrations the cold pack method’ of canning ‘as developed by the United the | States Department of Agriculture, was used, demonstrating that vege- tables may be preserved just as suc- cessfully as fruits. The drying of fruits and vegetables was also shown to._ the public. ' You are familiarg with ‘the success of the Commiunity Canning clab ‘at the.

On Monday afternoon two councils convened at thercalls of the Broadway and "Second ' Congregational - churches and their resuective pastors to review the proceedings of the two churches relative to the resignations of Rev: E, S.. Worcester and H. J. Wyckoy and take action thereon. The churches represented by pas- tors and delegates were-the Congré- gational churches. of Norwich and the Iirst . and Second . Congregational cihurches of New London. Rev. J. H. Selden, D. D. and Rev. Charles:A. Northrop were invited by-the Broad- way church and Rev. J. L. R. vncxnff] by the Second church. The official papers were prosented by the Broadway church, including the pastor’s letter of resignation .and .its acceptance. In these actions the coun- cil concurred and through a commit. tee consisting) of-Dr. Selden and Mr. Ricketts -presenteq its-finding in the followig terms “The- council, -assembled in_respouse to the letter missive of the Broadway Congregational church, February 18th, 1918, have listened with keen ifiterest to the record of the steps’which have leq to the tnion of the Broadway and Second Congregational churches, now nbout to be copsummated: To further this union, which glves promise of -a wider and more effi- ciént ministry among the people in this section of the clty of Norwich, both pastors. have presented.their res- ignations: . this council would, there- fore, with regret, concur in the action of the Broadway church in_accepting the resignation of the Rev. Edward S. Worcester, its pastor. As_ representatives of the churches of this vicinage, among whom Mr. Worcester has long been held in high- est_esteem, this- council desires to ex. préss its appreciation of ‘his scholarly attainments, the "high spiritual tone which has characterized his preaching, his tireless enérgy In' the performance of his pastoral service, the generous spirit of.

To further this ‘union, which gives promise -of ‘a- wider ‘and .more-efficient ministry among the people in this sec- tion of the city of Norwich, both p: tors have presented their reslgnatlons, this council would. therefore, -with ‘re gret, congur in the action of the Se ond Congregational church in accept- ing the resignation of the Rev.

His comrade- ship With the younger members of his congregation has won for him a large place in their lives and made his m- fluence ' strong- and helpful. + We part from Mr. Wyckoff with sin- cers-regret, and ‘we ‘commend him most’ heartily as-a minister of Christ, able.anq earnest, broad in his sympa- thies, 'single minded in his devotion to- the wide interests” of the kingdom of Heaven, ‘worthy" of “the full confl* dence and affection of any people among whom he may be®called té the exercise of the Christian ministry.” " In‘each-of the two similarly consti tuted. councils the moderator was,Rev.

In an_ affidavit submitted Wednes-, day by Martin W. Littleton, counsel to’ Charles “Henry Phelps, attorney and sole executor #f the estate, Charles N. Wexler, a Stamford, Conn. lawyer, confesses he was party to a scheme to place :the fraudulent will .on the records, thereby giving to Edith F. Ranger the = hulk of her brother’s estate in trust, the principal to -go at ‘her death to the National Academy of Design. Ranger died in New York, Novem- ber 7, 1816. His will, made ‘a year before his death, gave to the National Academy ‘of Design his entire estate to be used in ‘the purchase of paint- ings by, Americans. Though she fil- ed notice of a contest, Miss Ranger did né6t appear in court and the dov- ument was admiited to probate in April, 1917."

She’dlso submittec what purported to be a carbon copy of a will made by her brother on Jan. 6 1916. .
