PO, TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS ELECTED IN NEW LONDON Malcolm M. Scott and John F. Mur- ray were the only one of the nine candidates for members of the city council to receive enough votes for election at New London Monday. Four of the council are to be chosen so that the city will have to hold a special el- ection in two weeks to elect the other two members. It was a re-election for Mr. Scott and Mr. Murray. At the special election a plurality vote will elect, but at the regular election Monday a majority vote was necessary, this meaning that each candidate elected must receive at least 2,480 votes. The vote for the nine candidates was as follows: Malcolm M. Scott 2692, John F, Murray 2,526, Thomas Gragan 2,014, Clarence W. Thompson 2,081, Willilam D. Harris 1,883, Annie C. 8. Fenner 1,765, Lewis B. Doane 1,571, Alton T. Miner 1,558, Thomas E. Tro- land 1,404, Mr. Gragan, Mr. Thompson; Mr. Harris and Mrs. Fenner will be the candidates voted upon next time. The other three are automatically out of the race. It was a peculiar development of the election that the four candidates against whom the leading New Lon- don arternoon paper made the strong- est drive received the highest votes, while those that the paper favored were at the opposite end of the list and only one of the paper's candidates survives for the special election. as follows: William A. Holt 2,769; P. Leroy Harwood 2,485, Nathan Belcher 2,468, Thomas A. Foran, receiving 2,161 votes was not elected. The vote for selectmen elected all three as follows: William L.

This does not include the members of the three entertaining clubs, which will add at least 300 more to the total. Bverything ran oft according t6 schedule and the first day of the convention proved that when Rotarians start to do a thing they do it right and to the satisfaction of everyone, exemplifying the Rotary motto, “Service Above Self: He Profits Most ‘Who Serves the Best. | ot New London. { Coneert, Folf, Tennis, Previous t¢ the formal opening of the conclave at 1 o'clock there was a band ooncert on the large veranda of the hotel by the Foot Guard band of New Haven. During the morning hours the Rotarians enjoyed themselves on the golf links at Shennecossett with Gov. Everett J. Lake featuring; others enjoyed.a set or two at- tennis and still others in motoring about the Point, enjoying the beautiful ¥iews of historic New London harbor and the many beauty spots along the coast. The spirit of good fellowship was manifest throughout the day as Rotarian greeted Rotarian by thelr first names, recounting other good times at other conclaves. Conclave Formally Opened. Promptly at 1 o'clock the large assem- blage gathered in the large dining room of the hotel, where the conclave was for- mally opened. There were at least 1,000 gathered in the dining hall and during the opening luncheon there was ot one dull moment, for with James G. Ham- mond at the helm as genbral chairman, and James P. Sullivan, president of the New London club, an able assistant, things were kept moving, Jim Hammond in opening the conclave extended a hearty welcome from the en- tertaining clubs to the visiting Rotarians, expressing the pleasure of these clubs in being able to show in some small way their love for Rotary and Rotarians. He introdnced Donald ~A. Adams of New Haverd, distriot governor of District No. Three school visitors were elected| want to play with me they will 30, and Judge Robert W. Hill of Salem, Mass, district governor of District No. 31. The two governors appeared on the platform with their arms about each others' shoulders, the judge looking not the least judicial. They were ' greeted Wwith a tremendous burst of applause, In introducing these two, Mr. Hammond said that “on the shoulders of these two Rota- rians rests the future of Rotary in New mm and in their hands we place our Mr. Hemmond then troduced James P. Sulltvan, president of the New London club. Jfm Sullivan, whom everyone loves and who is always bubbling over and ra- diating good will was escarted to the platform amid a real welcoming outburst, Jim looked eround the big hall and smiled—when Jim shows that sunny smile of hiy thers s always an answering smile on the face of everyome. As all were standing when Jim stepped upon the platform, his first words were “As you were!” These three words Instantly sounded a note of good fellowship and Jim went on in his magnetic way to bid the guests-welcome. “We're glad you'rs here,” said Jim, “glad there are 5o many of you, and sorry we can't put you all under one roof; but we didn't have time to bulld another hotel. We. have, how- ever, provided the steamer Providerice and it's said this boat goes outside the three-mile limit every night. Don't crowd! It is also said Don Adams has cancelled his assignment in the hotel and will seek accommodations on the boat. Wo intend to give you all we can, and if there is anything you want, ask for it. It-you don't get it. blame me; I'll blame Jim Hammond, and Jim'll blame the hotel and 8o on, and then we'll be happy. Let me say a word about Governor Lake, The governor Is the best golfer that we ever put in the executive chair and he has challenged any Rotarian for a match to be played at Shenecossett. Now let me introduce the governor. Rotarians, our governor " Governor Lake Speaks. Gov. Everett J. Lake was greeted with an ovation, everyone® standing at atten- tion as he came to the platform. Gover- nor Lake sald in part: “Rotarians, and you who have made us good Rotarians. I welcome you to the Nutmeg State. First, let me speak of that golf challenge that Jim just referred to. Anyone who wants to acgept that chal- lenge should look over my style. If they nave to make my weight." “I'll take you, Gov.” eame from the back of the hall, and a Rotarian who would tip the, scales well over 200 stood up and aceepted the executive's challenge. Continuing, Governor Lake said: “It is a wonderful opportunity for any man to bring the greetings of over a million of God’s people to this conclave. I speak not as a Rotarian #;t as a representative of thes: people. Last spring 1 welcomed the Rotarians to Hatford and spoke as though we were giving them something, but what ¥ou gave us was far more, Then 1 spoke of being on the verge of “Get all the good possible out of this wclave, and what we give is only & small fraction of what you give to s Mr. Sullivan then ' introduced Mayor 'Lucius E. Whiton of New London, who |/ extendéd a hearty welcome from the city of New London to the visiting Rotarians. Mayor Whiton said that as maygr of New London he was called upon only to face a councily of ‘séven whers today he faced seven hundred. and yet the spirit of har. mony is equally as.marked here as in the smaller body. This is a delightful oc- casion for me to welcome you to ofir clty Cities are like homes, and it is always a pleasure to open our doors to Our guests. Governor Lake has welcomed you to the state and it is my privilege to welcome you to New London, and the Jand of steady habits. There is in New England a heritage that binds us together in a peculiar way. New England has traditions that we must live up to, and Rotary is showing us this way. Over these rugged New England hills years ago wandered tribes that were not bound together by a spirit 3t service and fellow- ship. Many conclaves were held where the pipe of peace was lacking and there was a feeling of hostility. One of our important duties is to bulld up and strengthen the tles that bind us together, and ‘our New England Rotary clubs can do this, As you go about New London and the Thames valley you will see many things. Off on the islands in the sound are disap- pearing guns, up the river is the/sub- marine base and all around are defenses against external foes. But we should build here against the insidious internal foes. There are many poin !t historic interest in the vicinity of New London that should be visited before yon leave. Again I welcome you as a friendly tribe along the trails of New England. During the Juncheon there was singing Dby, the various clubs, the Pawtucket and Springfield clubs making a fine impres- sion. Prof. F~C, Wight was at the plano Quring the singing. Business Session. The opening business session of the conclave was held in the ball room with District Governor Donald A. Adams, of New Haven, in charge. Mr. Adams, after welcoming the Rotarians and their wives to the session introduced District Gov- ROBERT W. HILL District Governor of 3lst District ernor Robert W. Hill, of Salem, who spoke briefly telling of the meaning of Relary. Rotary, he said, makes better men, better citizens, and better commu- s, and Rotary welcomes all other clubs with similar purposes and will al- weys co-operate with them to bring about things for the betterment of mankind. Rotary 15 so big that no two can de- scrihe it alike. Acking for support, Mr. Hill also spoke for Mr. Adams and said that they Yeere not chosen governors to control or divect, but rather to asdist, and all they aeked of Rotarians everywhere in New. FEneland was support. Give us your problems, he said, and let'us all solve them thus making us all better Rotarians ard better able to service as the Rotary eole of ethics directs. A telegram to Districts 30 and 31, New England Rotary clubs, was read frem District 15, etating that Rotary everywhere wished New England success in s fall conclave. Tne mext speaker was Past District Governcr Herbert C. Wilson, of Wores ter, Mass. now.an international direc- ter, Mr. Wilson thanking the Rotarians for the fine gift they presented him and his wife last vear at the end of his term as district governor. Mr. Wilson com- nented New England Rotary clubs for beiz ploneers in the Fall - Conclave movement. - Other Rotary clubs all over the country are about to start these fall ccnclaves, but to New England will al- ways be the homor of being the ploneers in_thdse wonderfu) sessions. Forrest J. Perkins, of Providence, one cf the older Rotarians was next Intro- @uced and welcomed his old time friends. stating that he was glad to renew old acquaintances and expressed a desire to meer all new Rotarians during the con- clave. Right Reading For Rotarians. The next Rotarian introduced was -William C. Bamburgh of Boston, past president of the Boston Rotary club now of the “Book department” of the Rota- riar. Mr. Ramburgh explained the pur- Dose of the review in the Rotarian and stated that of thé hundreds of books sent to this department. on business #nd rrofession, many were refected and those ra‘scd upon and selscted as fine for Ro- tarfans to Tead and give to thelr em- Ploves for reading were select books, and would be a great asset to any business man_and save him time and money in tha carrying out of his business. Keep Strictly to Classification Rules. The first scheduled address of the ses- sion was given by Fenwick L. Leavitt,-of the Worcester club, his subject being “Classification Preblems.” Mr, Leavitt, who is secretary of his club. explained in detail the story of classification troubles in Rotary, especially among*the older cluhs. The time has arrived. he 1 5aid when strict adherance to the laws of International” Rotary ried out to the letter. Many clubs nofr haye in their membership, men in the same line of business under various clas- sifioations. This is wrong as Ratary dis- tinctly says that only two from the same business can belong: Some clubs have must be ear- abused this law and have ag many as five' or ten and some even more, who work in the same concern or = business, and are listed under vaFious classificas e e tions. This. ‘be stopped in the future and u:‘an way to do this is to have a secret clissification tee whose duties it shall be to see that the rule is carefully followed, so that individual clubs may never have trouble with International Rotary. His talk was followed by a general discussion during | which 1t was brought out that all mem- bers now in a club should be kept in, but as soon as they drop out their plac- es should be filled by men properly classi- fled, Rotary Finances. International Director Herbert G. Wil- son of the Worcester club then spoke on the finances of . “International Rotary.” Mr. Wilson showed balance sheets from the auditing department, classifying sil expendithres. of the organization. The budget for 1922-23 was read showing re- ceipts of $459,326. Expenditures, each classified, were read showing how the great sum is spent by International Ro- tary for service to clubs. His talk en- lightened all Rotarians present on the handling of Rotarian funds by Interna- tlopal Rotary showing how wisely the money was expended and why it was needed in Rotary work. Advises Ladies' Nights. Edward T. Bradstreet, of the Meri- dén club, spoke on “Rotary and Its La- dies’ Nights.” Men, he said, really want to be better than they are, and if it is not a mother It is some other woman that causes them to strive for a high objec- tive and make good in lite. It Rotary, just as in life, there is the need of the women's guiding hand to make it a success, and for this reason, if not for any other, ladies’ nights should be held as often a§ possible. / La- dies’ nights, however, Should not be tak- en up In singing and stunts alone, but Rotarians should have an opportunity to meet and learn to know the wives of thelr fellow Rotarlans. With the aid of the women, Ratary can have no limit in power and there will be an opportunity for the good at home, and. world-wide. Mr, Bradstreet’s talk was followed by a discussion during which it was shown that the average number of ladies’ nights was four a year with many clubs and others considered even more of them an- nually. Botary Code of Ethics. Charles O. Black of the Pawtucket, R L club, spoke on ‘Rotary Code of Ethies in Meetings.” He sald in part that the quality of a man's consclence reflects the character of his thoughts. Many a man enters Rotary and be- comes known as a - Rotarian but does not know what Rotary really stands for.

PAINTINGS BY LYME AND MYSTIC ARTISTS EXHIBITED The opsning meeting of the Norwich Art Students'-association was held Mon- day afternoon in the Converse art build-3 ing. A very brief business meeting was held, presided over by Mrs. Channing Huntington, who spoke most apprecia- tively of the assistance and hearty co- operation she had already received from the members of the assocjation. and which she took as an earnest of their in- terest and aid during the coming season. Mrs. Robert W. Perkins, the vice presi~ dent and chairman of the program com- mittes, then gave some account of the difficalties encountered and overcome In preparing the event of the day, viz., the exhibition in the-gallery of a ' goodly number of pictures from both the Lyme and Mystio exhibitions just closed. The meeting then adjourned to the gal- lery, where the pictures, most artistically arranged and hung by W. F. Habgedtte, were opened to the public, and where tea was gerved in the entrance hall by Mrs. Channing Huntington and Mre. Henry T. Arnold, chairman of the house committee, Both the Lyme and Mystio exhibits are have grown i, importance yearly till now the Lyme exhibition is the most impor- tant summer = exhibition in the United the people of Norwich to have these pic- tures brought directly to them and. shown in their midst, and great credit is due to the art assoclation which, through Mrs. Robert W. Perkins. chairman of the pro. gram committee, assumed without hesita- tion all the risks and expenses incident to bringing the pictures here, and to Mrs. Perkins' assistants, Mre. J. Dana ‘Coit and Mrs. Edmund Perkin to Mr. Hakecotte, who personally supervised the work and attended to every detail. In an exhibition of such uniform ex- cellence it s almost invidious to single out any special plcture.or artist, but vie- ftors to_the collection will not fail to notice the large painting of Noahk har- bor by J. Joseph which hangs directly opposite the entrance. Neither are they Mkely to overlook another and very dif- forent picate of Neank fa amere l‘:mflem style by Peppino Mangravite slightly to the left. It is an extremely Interesting example of one of the new schools of art, though hardly recognizable to admirers of Noank scenery as they are accustomed to see it. Peppino Mangravite has three other pictures 4n_ different parts of the room equally ‘remackable and equally worthy of potice. Nelther must we neglect The Feast of Lanterns by Thomas W. Ball, one of the prominentemembers of the Lyme. colony. through whose personal appeals the art- ists were finally persuaded to send their pictures here, nor the charming bit of 0Old Lyme by Benjamin Eggleston in deli- cate autumn coloring hanging over Mr. Joseph's Noank, nor The Last Half Hour by Harry Hoffman, a duck shooter watch- ing for his game in the marshes lit up by the golden sunmset light; mor the charming studies by G.
