The re- ceipts were $109 from the diner, $101 from the dinmer fund and other re- ceipts which after the bills had been paia left a cash balance on hand of $1.52. The report of the -treasurer was ap- proved. The report of the librarian, Mrs. Bil- lings T.

Burton and Mrs. Frederick Bill. A resolution was presented . to the meeting by Rev. A. E. Kinmouth ex- pressing the sincere regret of the asso- ciation at the death of their benefactor, Frederick Bill, who for many years was actively identified with the work of the association that was founded by his brother, Henry Bill, of Norwich. The resoultion expressed the deep apprecia- tion of the life and service of Mr. Biit in making the association a means of in- tellectual and social uplift to ths com- munity and a source of insp'ratian to the young people. It was voted to ex- press the sympathy of the association to the family. % Following the adoption of the resolu- tion of respect to the late Frederick Bill, Billings T. Avery presented the associa- tion the sum of $200 as a memorial to his son who gave his life in France dur- ing the World War. The fund is to be known as the Billings T. Avery Jr. fund, the income from which s to be used ¢o purchase sclentific books for the Bill Li- brary. It is the intention of Mr. Avery to have books of a scientific nature pur- chased from the income of this fund as his son was always intsrested in science. The association accepted the gift with an expression of appreciation, to Mr. Av- ery. The meeting adjourned to the Ledyard church where the exercises took place. The church was prettily decorated with the American flag and flowers. Mr. Al- Iyn was the chairman of the meeting and introduced Rev. Mr. Newton of Old iy Mystic, a_former paster of the Ledyard church. Rev. Mr. Newton in a few brief ‘words of welcome expressed the hearty ‘welcome that was extended by the asso- ciation to. those present and also paid tribute to the. memory of Frederick Bill. Miss Gladys V.. Pettigrew, of New London, sang in_ a.clear soprano voice, with feeling, sympathy that masterpiece, Face to Face. Miss Pettigrew's accom- paniments were played by her sister, Miss Maude Pettigrew. The ‘speaker of the afternoon was W. A Towne, principal of Bulkeley High school of New London. Mr. Towne, who is ,an - exceptionally interesting speaker at all times, teok for his topic, The In- fluence of the Puritans on the Life of Today. In his opening remarks he paid tribute to Mr.-Bill and ‘later in his ad- dress spoke feelingly of the influences that had prampted Mr. Bill in his gener- osity, eaying that Mr. Bill's motto was not to bé ministered unto but minister unto others. o In speaking of the, Pilgrim fathers he reviewed the history of religion from the time of Henry VIII'up, to the time the Mayflower 'left- Southhampton ' on Augv 16,-1620, on _the:first’ step-of her journey to this couritry. ' He told of the hard- slilps that werfe endured by these hardy pioneers and™‘it was ‘their determination that has: made this country what it is today. Their: laws- wers stringent but they had- the’ courage -of their convic- tions. It is their influence that has giv- en’to this country her great colleges, her churches and many ‘other influences that are of the highest.”* /= = In closing Mr. Towne said that al- though we fear the radical menacs of the (doctrines of Lenine and Trotsky, radicalism ean mever live as long as that old Puritan faith and influence remain and they will forever. . Misz Pettigrew “was pleasingly heard in two roore: selections Sunrise and You, and Carry Me Back to Old Virginny. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. G. F.

SETTLEMENT REACHED IN g OCEAN BEACH LITIGATION The differences betwoen the estate of Peter Dorsey and Edward S. Neilan and Joseph F. Nofal and A. H. Wilkinson over property rights at Ocean Beach were adjusted this week by the pay-| ment by Mr, Wilkinson of an amount said to be $1,200 to Mr. Nofal. A year ago last May the estate of Peter Dor- sey and Edwand S. Neilan, joint owners of a property on the board walk at Ocean Beach leased to Joseph F. Nofal this land for the purpose of placing thereon a confectionery store. This land is located between the Fitz- gerald property and the Wilkinson pro- perty. Mr. Wilkinson entered a com- plaint and through his attorney, Arthur T. Keefe, sought an injunction to pre- vent the- establishment of a store on the premises - claiming that no commerciat business could be carried on for a period of 20 years under the restrictive clauses in the deed to the property conveved at that time. Not long ago, and while the matter estate and Mr. Neilan sold the land to Anthony Leverone who has since estab- lished a store on the premises. Mr. fal then brought suit against Mr. V kinson for damages, because he was un able to establish a store on the property. The Dorsey estate and Mr. Neilan ob- tained $3.600 for the land which is feet frontage on the board walk. Suits entitled Joseph Nofal vs. Arthur H. Wilkinson, Arthur H. Wilkinson and others vs. Thomas F. orsey, Jr., execu- tor, and others, and Arthur H. Wilkin- son and others vs. Edward S. Neilan, all relating to this litigation, have been withdrawn without costs from the su- perior court. SOLDIERS SHOULD COMPLETE VICTORY MEDAL APPLICATIONS The adjutant of Robert O.
