Pitt, pastor-of the church, conducted the special service at the Central Baptist church Wednesday evening, speaking in place of Dr. J. New- ton Lakey of Hartford, who had been expected but could not come on account of the storm. Dr. Pitt spoke In an interesting way of the power of praver, drawing illus- trations’ from the life of Dwight L. Moody, who, when pastor of a church in Chicago in 1871 had In his congregation two humble and now unknown women who were always to be seen In a front seat at the services and were always inprayer for the minister. To the pow- er and Influence of their prayers, Moody ascribed the impulse that came inte his life for the winning of men to Christ. Coming into the sphere of Moody's in- fluence, efther directly or indirectly, were such motable names as F. B. Meyer, Wilbur Chapman, Billy Sunday, Henry Drummond, Charlie Studd, and John R. Mott. So farcanit be sald did the power of the two praying women In Moody's Chicago church go out to all the world. Miss Helen Kilborn rendered a solo at the close of the service and Dr. Pitt an- nounced the speaker for Thursday even- ing would he O. G. Buddington of Po- quonoc Bridge.

The very bad walk- ng interfered with a large attendance at the evening meeting. Quite a number, however, was on hand. Chaplain Ker- nahan spoke on the subject: “Christ Stilling The Tempest.” He used the story of Christ's Experience on the Sea of Gallilee when he spoke to the wind and the waves. The disciples drew three les- sons from this story: I—Christ helps those who heip themselv Christ ars ug when we call. 3—Christ is ble to deliver us.

Stoeckel, speaking as a member of the state police commission, at the annual meeting of the state grange in Water- bury, Wednesday, He announced the opening of state po- lice sub-stations in three small towns in different counties of the state and the fact that similar stations are soon to be opened in Litbhfield, New London, Windham and New Haven counties. Sparcely settled portions of the state are to be divided up between the several sub-stations for general patrol, giving a protection to crops and other rural prop- erties which, limited facilities have here- tofore made impossible, the following is a brief digest of Commissioner Stoeckel's address: The state of Connectieut has 5,004 square miles. Out of this there are about 300 square miles which are dense- ly populated, the cities, large towns and their suburbs. These 300 square miles spend yearly the estimated round sum of $1,000,00 for police protection. The bal- ance of the territory in the state has no police organization excent such as is furnished by local peace offigers and by the state poilce. It is apparent there- fore, that, in order to properly police the country districts, of which the great- er portion of this territory consists, a thorough-going system of men locally placed is absoltely mecessary. The state police department has a large catalogue of duties. Among these are included the general supervision of safety measures prescribed by statute in connection with theatres and mov picture exhibitions, amusemer§ park: fire marshal's duties, weights and meas- ures, pistol permits and motor vehicle enforcement and examinations; so that it will at once appear that a least a substantial number of state policemen must always be assigned in connection with these. The main portion of the work for which the balance of the men are avall- able will be along the lina of crime de- tectlon, Including prohibition enforce- ment and investigation into crimes com- mitted, and preventive work by a sys- tem of patrols. It was in connection with the latter that Commisstoner Stoeckel's talk dealt. Preventive work must fnclnde a show- ing of state policemen in territory not otherwise sufficlently policed often enough so that the public In such sec- tions may have immediate access to an office which is in close connection with patrolmen and the men themselves must lable so that they can respond | p The state police commission and superintendent seem to have early realized this phase of the police prob- lem and have lald out a system which fs now being put Into effect and which will by early spring. me in working order. This system Includes the establishment lof sub-stations connected with the cen- tral office at Hartford. The sub-sta- tions already tstablished are at Center brook (which is Savbrook), at Hartford, on the entering of the New York state road, at Stafford Springs In Tolland. county. The stationg not vet established but under consideraticn in- clude one at Canaan in Litchfleld coun ty, one on the Norwich-New ILondon road, one in tne rural districts of Naw Hayen county, the place not yet det §n- Ined, one at or near Danfelson In Wind- ham' eounty and two or more others un- der careful constderation for location. A consideration of the locatlons shows that the city districts which are already policed are not duplicated in this por- tlon of the state police method and it ts aparently intended to spread the state police officers around In groups so that each group may be able when not en- gaged on specifis dutv under orders from headquarters, to exercise general patrol ion over a designated part of ely settled portion of the state. The state police department has fifty men, which number includes the super- near intendent, captain, one lleutenant and two serzeants. It has afair appropri- ation which is already found in diffi- iltles on one or two items such as having ts officers make the rounds re- quired inside of the amounts allowed for travel and maintenance expenses. Its policy will necessarily be to go ar far as possible with the money and men at hand. on the basis of the patrol svstem outlined and when Its men are distrib- uted will use them for general supe visfon and to make that general super- vizion as thorugh as possible. The men are equipped with uniforms and motorcycles or cars and each sta- tion will have that tvpe of transpor- tation equipment which s most sulta- ble for the country surrounding it. With the small numbsr of men and the larze territory to be covered, anything ex- cept the very best system, the best equipment and the best men will be nse- less and even with the very highest grade of personnel and eouipment the efforts of the men will be handicapped unless there is the broadest kind of co- ocration and assistance from the ofti- zens, g The police droblem Ifke any other problem, so far as it is a preventive one s a problem of the citizens themselves, In order fo be effective the state police department needs immedfate information abont every type of trivtal Incldent which constitutes an Information about infraction of the law o that the officer in charge can, upon receint of informa- tlon, know how to go about Investiza- tlon. His report and future conduct in connection with it will be th esubject of direction and criticlem from head- quarters. The effort which the pollce department needs to make is to get the public to use the offices in a free man- ner and to tell thefr troubles to the men freely without reservation so that the files of the department may carry all the Informatlon obtainable from the cit- ens. Tf this can be done, even with 1 number of men and a large ter- a very decided effectiveness can | be obtalned and cinditions can ba bet- tered Such organizations as the grange, men's elubs fn villages and towns, fish and game clubs and organizations of all kinds can be very useful in supply- ing informatlon. The gtate pollce de- partment, commissfon and superintend- ent desire that the men of the depart- ment shall be the friends of law-abld- ing citizens and all Information received will be promptly and efficlently acted upon. The effectiveness of the depart- ment’s svstem of patrol derends upon the co-operation of the citizens. Election of Officers. Allen B. Cook of Niantic was elected state master on the first ballot. Other officers were: Overseer, Minor Ives of South Meri- den, to succeed Allen B. Cook; leotruer, Professor Charles A. Wheeler of Storrs, re-elected ; steward, Louis G. Tolles of Southington. The new master was state lecturer for two years, following which he has served as state overseer for four yeacs. He was formerly superintendent of the A. A. Pope estate in Farmington and is now superintendent at the State Farm for Women In Niantic. Mr, Ives has been steward for four vears and Louis G. Tolles, assistant steward for four years. The report of the state lecturer, Chas.! A. Wheeler of Storre. comtained much of MOTOR VEHICLE LAW INFRACTION interest. Reports were received from 106 granges in full or in part, and these, with ratings given by eight deputies, show that the 141 granges of the stats are as a whole in better condition than in any of the previous four years of this lecturer’'s office. Prizes awarded to and lecturers at large include “one to Miss Plymouth grange, No. 72. A number of granges have changed in classification from small to large by crossing the 100 mark in membership, while none have changed in the opposite direotion. On Evening Programme. Lieutenant Governor C. A. Templeton and Mayor F. P. Guilfoile were the prin- cipal speakers at an open session of the State grange convention in the evening. The appearance of both Mr. Templa‘on and Mr. Guilfofle on the same platform was particular interesting because both both have announced themselves as can- didates for the gubernatorial nomina- tion this year, Mr. Templeton on the re- publican ticket and Mayor Guilfoile on the democratic. Pomona lecturers and small grang2s Edith Sutliffe of NORWICH BUILDING LOAN STARTING TWELFTH SERIES A very interesting and most enthusiastic meeting was held at the Odd Fellows' hall Wednesday evening under the auspices of the Norwich Building and Loan Associa- tion. The meeting was held primarily for the purpose if interesting the public in and giving them information regarding the new twelfth series of shares which the assogiation is issuing this month. As a result of the meeting a considerable rum- ;w-r of shares were gold during the even- ng. . “The meeting was called to order at § o'clock by Ernest O. Rodier, president ¢f the association, and opened with com- munity singmg. Charles W. Pearson, lpldier of the first book now running in the first share eeries of the association, was the song leader and the music was furnished by an orchestra. President Rodier's opening were as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: great pleasure to welcome neeti remarks It gives me you to this which is being held to acquaint you with each cther and to give you an idea of the work of the Norwich Building and Loan association. In April 1915, the association was incorporated and started to do business in June of the same year. We have now been doing business for a period of six and one-half veirs and have 275 members. The mone soclation each month by members ose to $2,500 and i we hud twice th me each memth we would do a bigger work. The only way we can increase this income is t0 recefve new members into the asso- clation and this can be done if you make every effort to bring your friends and acquaintances Into the association, thereby helping them to be prudent and encouraging them to become steady savers. Since we began to do business our a socfation has made 30 mortgage loans and 50 per cent. were made for new build. ings. Thers have been many applications made for loans which we are unable to act upor for the reason that our funds will not pe-mit vs to do so. We have a waiting 1ist of abplicants for loans and these applications wiil be taken care of in their turn and we hope to be able to grant at an early date loans to those who comprise our walting list. The monles of the assocfation are care- fully guarded and are under the supervi- slon of our state banking comnissiomer and the hooks of the ass.clation are audit- ed each vear by a bank examiner. The management of the association consists of local persons who ar: engaged in their own lines of business, but who glve their time cheerfully to the association for the benefits it in turn affords those who wish to build or purchase heir own homes ana to those who wish to save. The dividend earnings for two years have been 5 1-2 per cent. We trust that you will interest vour friends and ac- quaintances to begin to save at least $1.00 per month which will entitle them to a share as members of the Norwich Building and Loan Association. Charles V. James the assoclatlon’s at- torney, was the first speaker. He spoke from a legal viewr<int explaining the lez- al safeguard of the association through the state las Robert McNeely spoke on the subject of appraising property for a mortgage and how loans are made to buy eor build heuse. Stafford Skelly spoke on buflding a home with the ald of the buflddng and ioan assoclatfon. Timott Murphy, ex-mayor of Nor- wich, fold of his experfences with the buildiifz and loan associatton. Mr. Mre- phy said he has beengwith the association sinca its first serles’ was fssued in 1915 He said he doesn‘t know of any orzani zation that is doing more for the city than the building and loan association. The rate of 5 1-2 per cent. 1S a good in- vestment. Tnstead of taking in $2,500 a month we ought to be taking in double that amount, sald Mr. Murphy. President Rodier invited all present to take out shares at the meeting of the as- sociation which will be held in the cham- her of commerce office next Tussday even- Ing.
