CHILDREN AVERAGED WELL IN RECENT CAMPAIGN Report of Civic Federation Nurse Shows Very Encouraging Stats tics. Miss Miriam Boomhower, nurse of the Civic federation, gave out Wed- nesday the fellowing report en the recent. weighing and measuring of babies in this town: The campaign by the child welfare department in Killingly for the weigh- ing and measuring of all children un- der five years of aze has been brought to a successful close. We have a com- plete census of the children of the age specified and a fair idea of their physical condition. The children of Killingly sand the test very well. We find the mumber of sick or physically unfit children is rather small. Of conrse there has been found things that need attention, seme of the mare already heing taken care of and others that will be attended to in the follow-up work of tais department. This follow-up work, which is largely educational and which really began at the weighing clinics in the form of advice or instruction to mothers by the physieians and nurses, will be car- ried on through the year and offers an opportunity for service to all who are interested in child welfare. An ex- hibit is planned to be neld late in the summer which will deal with the va- ious sides of this work. ™A% in everything else that Is worth doing, there is need of funds to carry on the work and unfortunately we have no appropriation for this.

Standing at the corner of Elm and Pomfret streets at the moom hour, he held an impromptu levee and about every ten seconds a hand was thrust through the crowd, followed by a rreeunf that usually took the form of “Hello, George, old boy; how are You?" And George, while heartily graeping the hand of 2 boyhood chum, regularly answered “Not so bad.” And George isp't “so had!” As a matter of fact he is very good, physi- cally and mentally, after all that he has been through. Sergeant Brun- nelle saw more than three years of service on the western fromt—real service, hellish fighting and damnable living. But he has returned to tell the tale. and the tale includes the story of many e German laid low, never to return to the Fatherland, and of brilliant exploits of the intrepid band of Canadian fighters with which Ng{mt Brunnelle was associated. 8ot my share of the Boches,” said George in his quiet way—“and while have no aceurate means of krow- ing the number, I'll bet if they could be counted I have mowed down at least 1,000 of them while standing back of a machine gun, I have killed them until I was sic of the slaugh- ter—but they should' have died, and they did!” . Brumnelle’s three years of fighting included the desperate period ' that marked the indomitable stand of the British in the Ypres salient. Brun- nelle was in the fighting in France within two months after war was de- clared. He was rushed out of Canada With one of the first groups of the Dominion’s overseas battalions and was in the thick of things within 60 days. This was short notice for get- ting into sueh terrific fighting, but he had seven vears of United States ar- my training back of him and was pre- pared to do his bit. _In the vear and a half after his ar- rival in France ne was in a score of engagements and spent 17 months of the period in the trenches. His exper- iences in addition to the fighting in Flanders include partieipation in the world-famous battle of the Fomme and Vimy ridge, Three of the wounds he reeeived while in the army, a period of nearly four years, have left their marks upon him. A scar on his neck is a souvenir of Vimy ridge and a shortened right leg, the result of having a piece of flesh torn out of his left hip by a piece of scrapnel, aj Courceilette, in- dieate something of what he has been through to win the distingushed ser- Vice medal conferred upen him by the British government and the military medal with which he was honored by the government of France. Sergeant Brunnelle also has the mark of a bayonet wound between the thumb and forefinger of one hand, “but, he says, “the boehe who did it Will never stick anether man! I got him with a bayonet thrpst that ram- med right through him, and, before 1 could withdraw the bayonet from his body another boche attacked me and 1 swung up the butt of my gum, and caught him under the chin, knoeking him cold, I finished him later! I have his bayonet, too, to prove it—a saw-tooth affair with a hilt and han- dle. I used it afterwards to get two more Germans, and new it's on my mother’s parlor table up at North- bridge, Mass. I got my share of Ger- mans, ‘especially after I went into the maechine gun outfit. They fousht us hard back there in 1916, and they are good shots, but they are afraid cf cold steel and will quit every time in the face of a bavonet attack, of which they are afraid and throw their rifles in the air and scream for merey.” Sergeant Brunnelle is now honorably discharged from the British army as unfit for further active military ser- vice. He has dome his bit and is around visiting old friends and old places. “My mother hadn't seem me for eight years umtil I fted into Northbridge the other day,” the Ser- geant said Wednesday aftermoon. “and T haven't been in Putnam for ten years.

He was in the 24th battalion, in the same brigade with Brunnelle. ergeant Brunnelle's souvenirs of his fighting include a belt adorned with numerous German regimental num- bers, cap and coat buttons, collar de- vice$, etc., secured from prisoners he n or picked yp on the battle- fields over which bis regireent fought. Sergeant Brunnelle tells of his thrill- ing experiences in a quiet manner that is enthralling. His deseription of having his company wiped eut ajmost to a pan, he being one of the few re- maining on their feet after an attack, is filled with the spirit of the true fighting man. “T had to cut away cne of our dead machine gunner’s fingers so 1 eould again get the gun in operaton,” Frun- nelle said, “but I did it and foughs it out wth them to the last” Brun- nelle is typieal if the Canadian troops, regarding Germans only as things to e killed, that the world may be het- ter and net to be brought in as pris orers if there is any extra work en- tailed thereby. They are treacherous, s Brunnelle’s estimate of them, and “we get them before they get us.” OFF TQ DEVENS District to Give Sixty-five More Young Men in Country’s Need.
