In order that proper recognition can hLe given of the services to countr; of the other young fellows who represented New Londen in the war, which number the coast artillerymen seven to one, it is the probable intention of the mayor to give a general blow out to this big contingent when all who are not of the army of occupation come home, and then to give attention u.on the re- turn of those who are to be left be- hind, temporarily. It is safe to leave all such matters to Mayor Morgan and there is sure to be no discrimination, as the last an is just as much 3- titled to recognition by the city as a whole as the very first increment 4o return from military service. E. Frank Morgan has been mayor less than three months and he has demonstrated that he is just as live a mre as mayor as he ever was as al- derman. He is not like Davv Crockett who made sure that he was right and went ahead, but is mcre cf the Steve Brodie type and i¢ ever ready to take 2 chance. Steve won cut and the mayor is winning in about everything . R RSt el R a8 T he undertaks for what he believes to be for the best interests of the city. Beinz human, he is not always right when he sees ahead. He rnot a law- yer, and was not familia~ with the law when he stated that the movie houses could do business on Sunday evenings. Ha took a chance, struck a very popular chord, but was check- mated by the prosecuting attorney who was practically forced to. act when his attention was called to law. violation by a dozen ministers. The great majority of the people want these Sunday pleasures and it was to meet those wants that the mayor an- nounced that he did not ebject to the entertainers trovided they were con- ducted in as clean a manner as on the other days of the week. in New London there is a demard for the Sunday night entertainment. Tf a meas- ure is presented, at the coming legis- lature to amcnd the laws in respect to these entertainments, the New Lon- don delegation will surely favor the measure provided they represent their constituency. Here is a bang up op- portunity for Senator-elect Fox or Representative Holt or Goss to get busy and prepare an amendment that will meet the wishes of more than nine-tenths of the voting popuiation of New London, including th emayor. No, the mavor will not stop with the decoration of the lamp posts for Christmas colebration and the home- coming of the soldier boys, but will prepare for the biggest Christmas cel- ebration ever in the old city of New London, and is planninz to have the home. The decoration are o be of a semi-permanent nature. so that they can serve the double purposa of Christ- mas celebration and welcome home demonstration. It is not known when the local contingent of the Fifty-sixth regiment will return but that com- mand is on the priority list of troops to be sent to the United States from France, but whether it he hefore or after Christmas the decorations will be in place as an indication that the city honors the service rendered. Mayor Morgan has appointed a Jarge and representative committee to 'arrange for ite big home-coming dem- onstration, which includes officers of the navy stationed here. A feature of the welcome will be the iining up of sailors for the while length of State street, marking the avenue through wh'ch the Loys will march up the handsomely decorated stre 2 Henry ‘R. Bond, the liveliest of the city’s live wires, is chairman of. the committee on decorations and that is guarantee that it will bs on an elab- orate scale. Naturally the parade will be the scen2 of the greatest decora- tion, with the railway station selected as the point of beginning.

The chorus is practicing Christmas carols for the big event and the band is arranging a special ~ programme A°f music. The gentlemen composing the representative committee have en- tered with a zeal that is commenda- ble in the work assigned them, and the mayor is assured of Tthe hearty support of all the peopls in the Christmas celebration of peace and the “elzome home of some of the men who riSked their lives that peace might live, The soldiers and sailors’ monument, surmounted by the heroic statue of Peace, will serve- as a suitable cen- terpiece for the dual cefebration, si- lent but impressive. Never before has the opportunity come for more suit- able surroundings and ceremony. The statue of Péace has seemed a bit of place during the greatest of wars, but now she comes back into her own. Sebastian and Frank Lawrence build- efl better than they knew when the se- lected Peace as the crowning figure monument they presented to the ety London. The eider New Londoners well re- member the reception given the first local company to go to the Civil war which was the first to feturn at the expiration of the three raonths’ term of enlistment. Some of he men who marched with that company fifty-sev- en years ago, will be among those who will welcome home the soldiers from France. They will meet them as sol- diers, as nearly all the tkree months’ men re-enlistcd and served during the duration of that war. There has been changes in New London from Civil war times and the reception given the returning soldiers then will be in- finitesimal in comparison with that being planned for the home-com- ing of the first body of New London- ers from the war overseas. It has been suggested that the Civil be given place of prominence in the home-coming reception and that the survivors of the first comrany to re- of New ordinary prominence.
