At the Beach the nurses enjoyed the bathing and a basket lunch was served. The nurses and the hospital management are deeply grateful to Dr. Callahan for his act.

ASKING NORWICH CITIZENS TO SUPPORT ROQUE ASSOCIATION To increase the interest in the game of roque as played, by the Natjortal Roque association, a meeting was held at the Chamber of Commerce rooms on Friday afternoon at which \rere present the twa local officers of twe association, Treas- urer James L. Case and Secrelary Ar- thur L. Peale, and many members of the Chamber of Commerce. The meeting was to start plans for getting 100 local memberships in the roque —association. These memberships are for $5 each and entitle a member to free use of the roque vourts as well as the tennis courts. talk in years past of having the national championship contests held in some other ity where the courts were in better con- dition and there were more of them, and the city was more accessible from all points. To overcome fhese objections the local courts have been put in con- diton and now there are none finer or faster in the country. The tennis courts have¥ also been put into shape. As this has been a considerable ex- pense, it has been deemed best ito en- large the membership in the association and a drive will be inaugurated to se- cure 100 new members. The tournament plans for the national title play are completed and entries from all over the country are coming in. Sev- eral new players have entered. including one from Harrisburg, Pa., and several from Massachusetts and other states. Secretary Peale has received a com- munication from Lakewood, N. J., asking about the construction of the local courts as it is planned to put in several courts in that city. . The national rogue championship is the only national title that has ever been contended for in this city and it tends to bring the name of Norwich before the country every year. This is a feature that Norwich cannot afford to lose, and everyone should be proud to do his part in keeping this national event in the Rose of New England. NORWICH BOY SCOUTS' CAMP 1S ABOUT OVER The two weeks' camp of the Norwich Boy Scouts at Camp Tippecan at Beach pond is slowly drawin gto a close, much to the regret of the 18 or 20 boys who have been enjoying the outdoor life under the able guidance of Scout Executive F. A. Benton. The boys will break camp on Monday and return home. Although the weather has not been of th ebest for camning, the boys have en- joyed every minute of the time in the open. The boys have made exceptionally good progress in scouting during their stay. Many of them passed their wood- craft tests, swimming tests, nature study, hiking and other things that can be studied at first hand. Many features have brightened the days of the boys, such as hikes, treasure hunts and campfires. At the campfires there have been local speakers, including Major Charles A. Hagberz, Dr. R. R. Agnew and others. The camp has been a ‘wonderful success and plans are already being contemplated to enlarge the camp before another year. PARKING STATION IN UNION SQUARE FOR AUTO TAXIS The problem of regulating the taxi ser- vice in Norwich under the city ordi: nances now in effect was satisfactorily settled at a conference of Mayor Lerou and Corporation Counsel Higgins and the taxi drivers on Friday morning. It was decided that Union square would still be used as a cab stand or parking place for the taxis or livery cars anC that the drivers of these cars should be allowed free use of the streets of the city and be allowed to take passengers to any points in the downtown district and park there the same as private cars. This does not. however, include the jit- ney machines, which bear a “J' number, but applies only to those machines that carry the taxi license, which is the black and yellew marker bearing the “O” num- ber.
