FOR GROWN-UPS DANIELSON Persons who are looking for some- thing profitable to do with their loose change will find ideal employment for it in depositing it in the receptacles that have been placed in business places about town to receive contributions for the fund that is to be created to fur- nish Christmas cheer for needy famiies. This holiday period charity has been maintained for more than. a decade and Is now a firmly fixed custom in Daniel- son. Each year .the money that is re- ceived goes to buy foodsuffs and fuel and other practical things for families that are in real need. Never a penny wasted is the rile foliowed in making the distribution which means so much In a number of homes where they would be little joy at Yuletide were it not for this Christmas fund, to which all are invited to contribute. Though all the peceipts were mot in Thursday, it was stated that the Daniel- son Girls' c'ub would net approximately $100, according to forecasts, from the presentation of the play—A Chinese Lantern—in the Orpheum theater Thurs- day evening. The play and the very capable manner in which it was pre- sented was well deserving of the reward that it brings in financial form, to the members of the cast especially, and to the club as a whole. Rev. M, Joseph Twomey of Newark, N. J., formerly pastor here, is to deliver the ordination sermon next Wednesday evening at the Baptist church when Rev. J. W. Houck is to be ordained. Invita- tions to participate in the service have been extended to Rev, B. U. Hatfield of Westerly, Rev. D. J. Neily of Mcdford, Mass., Rev, W. D. Swaffield of Keene, H. all former pastors of tle DBapti church here. Folowing the ordination! service, for which arrangements are be- | n geompleted, there is to be a reception in Mr. Houck's honor, During the past two weeks Secretary J. H. Corbett has made two visits to South Killingly with Rev. Walter Wil- liams of Danielson, for the purpose of meeting with a young men’s group with | which he has been working the past | year and of explaining to them the pro- gram of the County Y. M. C. A. The young men decided to affiliate with the county Y. M, C. A. and take up the reg- ular four-fold training program for the program of their group. They elected j DI officers and apointed comsmittees and will hold weekly meetings. Rev. Mr. |I. Williams wi'l continue as leader of the group. The loeal Y. M. C. A. committee of Brooklyn, consisting of Marshall Frink, Sherwood Potter, Sidney Rard. ott Allen, I, 'W. Chapman and Rev. Pratt, have succeeded in organizing two grouns| of boys, one conmsisting of about fiA.Pen] members between 12 and 15, the other one of about twenty members between 16 and 21 years. They have secured the use of the to¥n hall two nights each week for the regular meetings of these| groups and have secured the srvices of | competent leaders, Sherwood Potter for the older boys and Kimball Hargraves for the younger group. Young men resident in this who feel a-call to the army iife will be| given an opportunity next Monday to | sign up for service with the Coast Ar-] lery corps. in which unwards of lflfll youns men from this vicinity served as| volunteers during the World war, many of them seeing service in France.
