The resignation of Mrs. Riggleman after tore than 18 years of faithtul service brought a real loss to the library. Un- ler her supervision the library had grown from about 5,000 volumes to 10,000 vol- ames. But riot only has the ligrary grown ‘n number of volumes but because of her ideals the literary standards have been raised higher and higher.

While Wauregan has felt the business depression more or less the fact of the help being of an especially steady and cllicient class has much to do with the Drosperity of the village. ; Wauregan mill houses have in scores of cases young men and women residing in them and working in the milis who are of the third generation. Children and grandchildren of former Wauregan mill hands have taken the places of the originals and according to the Atwoods are always willing to give a full day's labor for a full day's pay. . All modern improvements for the com- fort and convenience of the help are quiekly inaugurated by the manage- ment. The social religious and political interests of the hands are the interests of the management 2lso and now when dgrk days are in tho land the genuine team work of all together is proving a. hig friend when mills in all direc’ions are running two days, three days a week or idle altogether, the bell on Wauregan mills malces its regular ring. MORRIS PLAN BANKE MAY BE DISCONTINUED “If New London has not pride enough to sustain a Morris Plan bank, then there should be no bank here.” declared Charles C. Perkins, treasurer of the New London Morris Plan Bank, Inec., Tues- day, who says the institution may be dis- continued after December 31. There are 30 stockholders in the New London Morris Plan bank, Which was incorporated and started business in No- Vi ber, 1917. The ecapitalization was $25,000, but the working capital was §10,000, and has remained at that figure since. There has been, however, as much as $25,000 out on loans on- the $10,000 capital, and ail at 6 per cent. Whether the plan has been successful can be de- termined when it is renorted by Mr. Per- kins that approxima‘ely $70,000, perhaps {much more, has been loaned and return- ed, plus 6 per cent. interest since Nov- ember, 1917. The average amount loan- ed was $200 with a few at $250, many at §200 and some at $150, §100 and $30. Yes.
