NORWISH PRINTERS TO BE GUESTS IN NEW LONDON Members of Norwich Typographical Union, Ne. 100, are to be the guests of the New London Typographical Union No. 159, at a “plnk tea” 'in Temperance hall, New London, this (Saturday) evening. In the olden days before the July Thirst a “pink tea” was an upknown animal to, a printer but now that the arid drought has struck the craft “pink teas” are in vogue, The_programme as outlined by the New London -brothers includes many features, perhaps the most promi- neft being the bowling . match . be- tween the local team -and the New London boys. While the Norwich printers are fully aware of the prow- ess of their opponents they are con- fident that they are just good enough to be a little bit faster. Not that we wish to praise ourselves, but it is & case of give credit where credit is due. The names of those who are to compose the team is enough to guarantee victory. They are: Joe Sul- livan, - Bill Amburn, Bert Gallivan, Chuck Riordan, Reg Pardy and George Neibert, all men . with ave- rages of 95 or bet. * and besides they are old timers at the game. The editorial force of The Bulle- tin who are also inviteq to attend are not in a class with the printers as bowlers but yet the sporting depart- ment of the gheet is desirous of try- ing out their ability as pin smashers against - the . sporting department of the New London papers. We do here- by challenge any two men of the sporting departments of the New London publications. to a = contest. Our two men are only mediocre bowl- ers, but we think we are a little bet- ter than the New London boys. We won't mention thelr names for they have a state wide reputation and we| don’t want to put the element of fear into the hearts of our brother scr'bes. Our champion bowler has recently suffered an injury to his right arm but is willing to challenge any right- handed bowler to a left-handed match but it must be distinctly understood that the New London boys are not to ring in any ambidextrous men, ENLISTS RECRUIT FOR SERVICE IN NAVY The latest recruit signed up for Uncle Sam’s navy at the local re- cruiting station in the = Shannon building is Benjamin O. Burns. In conversation with Chiefs Bor- chert and Gifford he expressed a de- sir. to learn a trade that would be of benefit to him in civil life. He was signed up for aviation mechanic and will be sent to the aviation me- chanic school at Great Lakes, Chi- cngo, Ill, where his desires will be fulfilled. If a man takes interest in his school work a great fleld 1is open to:him which will give him. unlimited . op- portunity for knowledge and promo- tion, either in the service or civil life. Some of the greatest scientlsts of the age engaged In alrplane works during the war have reorgan- ized the great possibilities for ad- vancement in this science and are bending every effort towards its de- velopment. Many of these men give their services exclusively to the gov- ernment and as soon as new ideas or inventions are brought out by them the Navy department is among the first to make use of the improved apparatus and thus the naval aviation men’s knowledge is always kept up to date.

Walton Pearson. Final tribute to the memory of A. Walton Pearson, = editor-in-chief of . The Norwich Bulletin, ‘was paid by relatives and ‘friends and newspaper associates at the funeral services held at his late home, 69 Pearl street, Fri- day afternoon at 2.45 o'clock. The home was filled with those who had * known Mr. Pearson in life and others with. whom Mr. Pearson had been as- soclated in his career as a newspaper | man. A wealth of floral tributes man- ifested the esteem in.which he had been held. Rev. Albert P. Blinn of the Norwich Spiritual Academy conducted the ser- ; vices, making an eloquent address ' which he began by reading the poem The Admiral Goes Ashore. Rev. Mr. Blinn said in part: An eminent Roman orator once sald, when called upon to officiate at the ! obsequies of his friend, “I have coms to bury Caesar, not to praise him ‘We have come here this afternoor not to bury Walton Pearson, neither to ! praise him, but to pay our tribute of | respect and esteem to the memory of the man whose body only will we bury. When Socrates, coming into conflict with the orthodox religion of his time because of his free-speech and liberal thought, was doomed to drink the hemlock, some of his followers, de- sirous of knowing what to do with his body, sald to him, “Master, what will we do with you after your death?” Looking up with a smile, he replied, “I don’t’care what you do with me, if you can catch me.” ‘Walton Pearson did not fear death. Why should he? He lived the best he knew how in a world where many men find it hard to do that; and he did not fear the grave for, like Socrates, whose philosophy he read and loved, he knew that he himself would not enter the grave. . Someone sald to me yesterday when they heard somewhere that I was to officiate ‘here today, “Was Mr. Pearson a Spiritualist?” ‘and I looked at my questioner and asked, “Did you know Mr. Pearson?” “Yes, and he was a man. I always found him square and all righ “Then ‘what difference whether he was a Spiritualist or not?” l 'Tis folly to delve into moss covered creeds, Let your life be a record of generous deeds. Not the wisest may fathom God's in- finite plan, But the weakest may live as becometh 2 man. I believe that was Mr. Pearson's working plan of life, to live as be- cometh a man. And he did it, and out there in that larger life he is finding that everything is all right because he did the best he could. He knew men and he knew life; all its frailities and all its virtues, and every newspaper man has a better opportunity to know men and human nature than in any other profession, and it speaks for his purity of heart and strength of char- acter that he never lost faith in his fellowmen and in the ultimate good- ness of men. He has entered the higher school carrying with him ‘a wealth of know- ledge and experience; unchanged, just himself, with the desire to know more of “life, with the knowledge .that he can still be the angel of his household and minister unto his own. With his ambitious and aggressive nature Wal- ton Pearson is fully alive to the great opportunity that has come to him through death and will profit by it. So we wish him Godspeed in-his journey of life, not death, and to the mourning wife, son, and loved ones we tender our sincere symrathy for the loss of the physical presence, but we know that the very loneliness and sorrow which i3 so great now will be the bond which will bring him so close to them in their time of need that they will al- most, perhaps they will, feel the touch of a vanished hand, the presence of a loved soul, and be comforted thereby. The Dbearers were Charles D. Noyes, president of The Bulletin company William .H.. Oat, ‘general’ manager Harvey' M. Briggs, managing editor; Charles F. 'Whitney, city editor: John Trankla, foreman of the job nlant, and Perry H. Corning, foreman ' of the newspaper composing room. The body was placed in the recelv- ing vault at Maplewood cemetery, where Rev. Mr. Blinn read a short committal service, During the funeral The Bulletin of- fice was closed and the flag at the Buckingham Memorfal was at half- mast. Funeral Director C. A.

The young: people were trained by Miss Freda Noyes. AT THE DAVIS THEATRE. “Faust” by Boston English Opera Co. The Boston English Opera Company played a return date at the Davis theatre Frid<y’ night before a capacl- ty house, presented Gounod's Faust with Leonard Sanford as “Faust” and Hazel Eden as “Marguerita.” It was given by such a generally well bal- anced cast, musically and in histrionic talent, as has won plaudits for the company on its tour and the Norwich audience was slow to appreciate the artists and give them their mead of applause. The fine orchestra under capable leadership gave admirable support and the scenic effects were entirely ade- quate. Miss Eden increased the good im- pression she made here in her appear- ance in “Robin Hood” as a lyric so- prano, disclosing a clear, sweet voice, admirable in ennunciation. She sang easily and naturally throughout and scored strongly in her coloratura work and the handling of her high notes. The Jewel Song in the third act, the duet with Faust and the duet in-the prison scene brought her well merited anplause. Alice May Carley as “Slebel” sang and acted with expressiveness that showed her talent. As “Valentine” the singing and acting of Stanley Deacon shared the honors with the impressive work of Harold J Geis as Mephistopheles. Mr. Deacon has a rich baratone which he used very effectively and made him one of the favorites with the audience and Mr. Geis was admirably fitted in voice and physical qualifications for his' conception of the character of the arch flend. His mocking serenade song was a vivid piece of expressive sing- ing. One jarring note in the whole production was the assignment of the | part of ‘“Faust” to Mr. Sanford. He apparently failed to rise to a concep- tion of the emotional requirements and his tenor was disappointingly lacking in flexibility or the possibili- ties of portraying feeling. A tenor who glances off into the wings or into the flies or casts an eye out to the house in the midst of an emotional duet with the heroiffe in his arms would seem to show little thought of the artistic eftect he was trying to convey. The chorus numbers were sung with the Soldlers’ chorus especially was given with a fine swing and martial dash. Norwich will'alv-vs be glad to wel- come the Boston English Opera Co. for any future performances here. Mail Delivery Delayed.
