Speakers at the banquet gave praise in the highest terms to Treasurer Kaplan's great executive ability in building up the organization that” has been such an im- | portant asset in the manufacturing life | of this city, while deep regret was ex- pressed at Mr. Kaplan's enforced retire- meht, with the hope that he might fully regain his health. In the party of 70 at the banquet were | officers, direetors, superi®tcndents and | overseers of the Norwich Woolen Mills | corporation, as well as a dozen repre- | sentatives of the American Woolen com- pany, Smith's orchestra furnished music for the evening. Samuel Kaplan of New York, one of the directors, presided acceptably as toastmaster, eulogizing his brother's management of the business and praising the wonderful Ioyalty and co-gperation which had been given the concern by the executive heads, which had refulted in & tremendously efficient business organiza- tion. “Manny” Kaplan, he said, had been obliged to give up the business only be- cause it was a physical impossibility to continue longer with it, but he had seen to it that those who had been so loyal to him would be provided for under the new ownership. The toastmaster bespoke for the new management the same loyal- ty that had been a distinguishing char- acteristic. Samuel Knopf of New York, a director, spoke of the kindly, uplifting, beneficent and inspiring executive direction that had been exercised by Mr. Kaplan' and the whole Kaplan family, whose policy had been to do to other men as they wished to be dome by. The American Woolen company is to be congratulated, said Mr. Knopf, because it has acquired the finest business organization and three of the finest mills in America. Arthur M. Brown of the law firm of Brown & James, legal advisers to the Norwich Woolen Mills, was a speaker called upon, responding with praise for the high ethical standard that hil gov- erned the Kaplan management. which, said Mr. Brown, had always been on the level, and made him proud to have been associated with them as legal adviser. He | commended to the new ‘management thi same standards that had governed the old and expressed an earnest wish for Mr. Kaplan's restoration to health. James M. Morton, agent of the com- pany. made the presentation of the watch to Treasurer Kaplan with a fitting tribute to the retiring officer. Mr. Kaplan was deeply affected but responded with warm thanks for the’gift and appreciation for the loyalty of the force of workers, whom he asked to show the same spirit toward the new ownership. The banqucters stood and gave Mr. Kaplan long continued applause while the orchestra struck up He's a Jolly Good Fellow as Mr. Morton concluded his presentation speech, After brief remarks by President Fred R. Smith, George Anthony of Boston, ‘William O'Leary and Charles Harvey, the banquet came to an end about 10 o'clock. Those present included: Treasurer Emanuel Kaplin, Samuel M.

They may re purchased at the Thames National pank In Norwich. The remittaaces may be purchased in $10 units up to a maximum of $50 for delivery to specifrd individuals in Rus- sia and up to $500 for delivery to recog- ed grouns and institutions. For one $10 remittance the American Relief Ad- ministration delivers 49 pounds of white flour, 10 pounis of beans, 10 pounds of ries, 10 pormils of sugar, 10 pounds of cooking fats, three pounds of tea and 20 cans of condensed milk. The retall iprice of these foodstuffs in New York would be $9.80 and it would cost more than $29 for an individual to send them from there ro Russia by parcel post. In addition, the American Relief Adminis- tration assumes all risk until the food is delivered to the reclplent at its ware- house nearest his home. The food ramittance operation is en- tirely distinct from the free mass feed- ing 1,200,000 Russian children which the Hoover organization has undqrtaken. Food remiztanceg are intended for adult and family -elief, the necessity of which can be realized when it is understood that there are 30,000,000 people living in the famine and food shortage areas in Russia. The first food remittances were delivered to the reciplents in Russia three weeks after they were purchased at the headquarters of the American Relief Administration, 42 Broadway, Niaw York city. The food is already in Rus- sla in warshouses scattered throughout the country. { POSTAL SUB STATION FOR PARCEL POST MAILING Through the courtesy of the Commu- nity Bake Shoppe space has been given in the Thayer building to the local post- office department for a sub-station for the parcel post department.
