MAJOR HAGBERG MARSHAL FOR ARMISTICE DAY PARADE Major Charles A. Hagberg was chosen marshal for the Armistice day parade at a meeting of the Armistice day celebra- tion committee Thursday evening in the American Legion rooms. Major Hag- berg will select his own aides and perfect plans for the parade formation and line of march. He will issue his instruc- tion in a general order which will be published in the local press in a week or ten da: The Armistice day committee, which is a joint committee of Fletcher Post, Amer- jcafi Legion, Ladies’ Auxiliary, American Legion, and Hourigan Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, in addition to appoint- ing the marshal, heard sub-committee reports and transacted important business connected with the details of the anni- versary celebration. Webster D. Copp, general chairman, presided at the meet- ing which was well attended. The invitation committee of which Harold T. Robinson is chairman, report- ed that over 50 invitations have been mailed to local organizations to partici- pate in the parade and celebration. Ae- ceptances of the invitations are coming in dail A number of organizations have not yet had time to act upon the invitations but the indications are that there will be a general turnout for the parade. ; Ty date the following organizations have accepted the invitations to turn Norwich Lodge of K. of out for the parade: Elks, White Cross Council, No. 13 C., Sedgwick Post, No. 1, G. R., the Polish Citizens' club, The Girls Com- munity club and the Norwich Council, Boy Scouts It is expected that Norwich Lodge of Moose will act npon the invitation at the meeting this (Friday) evening. The financial committee reported that the celebration fund is cn deposit in a local bank. The merchants’ committee of which Herman A. Bruckner is chairman report- ed progress. The indications are that the local merchants will co-operate in the observance of the anniversary of the end of the World war by closing their stores, at least during the parade hours. The merchants’ committee expects to make a complete report on the matter of the stores closing at the meeting next Thurs- day evening. They are endeavoring to have the stores clos= at noon on Armistice.| day.

The general committee appointed Dr. John S. Blackmar, commander of the American Legion, chairman of the recep- tion committee, for the chowder to be held at the armory. Dr. Blackmar was au- thorized to select his own committee. It has not been decided yet at what point the parade will be reviewed by Mayor H. M. Lerou and the court of common council. Colonel Morris B. Payne of New London, commanding of- ficer ‘of the 192nd Artillery, several bat- teries of which will parade with their mo- tor equipment and guns, has notified the committee that he will endeavor to carry out evening parade at Chelsea parade.

Others present were former Gov. Frank B. Weeks, W. W. Wilcox ana Samuel Russell, Sr., of Middletown, Fred D. Jordan of Willimantic and W. W. Norton of Lakeville. MODIFIED DOG QUARANTINE NOW GOES INT® EFFECT The modification in the dog Quarantine in Norwich and Montville is to go into effect today (Friday,) according to orders issued by J. M. Whittlesey, state com- missioner on domestic animals.. Under the former regulation, dogs were to be kept closely conflned at- all times, which obliged dog owners to keep their dogs tied up even on their own premists. Under the modified quarantine regulations, dogs do not have to be kept tied up as long as they remain on owners" premises. Unless the premises are en- closed by a tight wire fence, it is hard to see how this helps much as of course the dog can be picked up if he wanders off his owner's premises and it is not pos- sible to keep a dog in a confined state except by a fence or a rope. The stringent quarantine has been in force six weeks, and Mr. Whittlesey's de- cision to modi it followed his visit here over a week ago when he looked over the ground, saw Dr. George Thompson, the town health officer and other officials, ail of whom advised that the ggarantine ought to be modified. 5 When he was here Commissioner Whit- tlesey said that there had been only one case of rabies developed in Norwich since the quarantine was pat on. That was five weeks ago now, and this dog was one that was tied up so that it had no chance to bite any other animal or any person.’ As the period of incubation for the disease is 21 days or less, the situa- tion here looks more favorable for no further cases of rabies, but there is this element of uncertainty about it the Com- missioner said, in that rabies has been known to break out six months after an animal or a person were bitten by a mad dog. In other words, if a person were bitten by a mad dos, he ougiit to know in from 14 to 21 days whether he had been infected by the rabies germs. If the infection did not show in that time he might ordinarily presume he had escaped. CHIEF OF STAFF WILL BE IN NEW LONDON Colonel G. C. Cameron, who has beer appointed chief o fstaff of the Seventy- sixth division of organized reserves, will be stationed in New London instead of Hartford it was learned Thursday. A special order from first corps area head- quarters in Boston was received by Colonel D. T. E. Casteel stating that Col- onel Cameron would proceed London. This does not as far as is known, signify that divisional headquart- ers of the organized reserves will be in New London, but oniy that the station of the chief of staff will be there. Officers and non-commissioned officers of the regular army, detailed to units of the National Guard within New England states or to the organized reserves in New England, must in the future undergo la special course of training for a period not to exceed one month. The command- ing general of the first corps area has been instructed to create, by order of the adjutant general of the army, a corps area training center to provide such in- struction. SIX CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DIRECTORS ARE ELECTED The Chamber of Commerce by ballot vote this week elected six directors for the ensuing year, The time limit for voting expired Thursday evening at 7.50 oclock and the result of the vote was announced later by Secretary John J. O'Rourke. The new directors elected are as fol- lows: James L. Casa, William H. Cruickshank, Grosvenor Ely, James C. Macpherson, Charles D, Noyes and Frank B. Ricketson.

The six new directors and the #ix di- rectors who hold over another year will hold a meeting soon at which they will organize for the year. Trolley Service Interrupted. Much confusion was caused Thursday in Groton borough on account of the de- lay in trolley service. This was due to the fact that a telephone pole at the foot of Brook street, Noank, which had be- come rotten at the base, came down, bringing four others witf 1it, falling across the tracks.
