NORWICH, CONN. | GOTHAN }otn?mpg SELL THOSE FAMOUS STOCKINGS IN ALL FIVE STORES. THE PASNIK COMPANY NORWICH, CONN. TIE PASNIK CC. MAKE BEST START IN TWELFTH LAYING CONTEST The twelfth Storrs laying contest started off promptly on Nov. 1st with 100 pens of 10 birds each, a total of 1,000 cholce pullets espeically groomed for the annual egg race. These selected, well- matured birds are the cream of the flocks they represent. The prime consideration in each case has been to pick pullets that the owner believes would lay the most .eg8s in a year. There is a wider geo- graphical distribution of the birds than in some of the earlier contests. Of the 1,000 pullets participating, 300 are owned by Connecticut breeders; Massachusetts supplied the next highest number, a total of 180 birds; New York and New Jersey tied for third place with 110 birds each; Vermont and Rhode .Island have each sent 50; Maine and Michigan each con- tributed 30; Pennsylvania and ~New Hampshire bave 20 each, and the remain- ing 110 come from Delaware, Maryland, Teunessee, lllinois, Indiana, California, Washington, Ontario and England. These birds got away to the best.start ever made in any laying contest in Storrs. They came across with 1,109. eggs and thus set a new high mark for a first week's performance. This looks as if the birds were better bred and better trained for the job they have to do than some of their predecessors have been. Obed G. Knight's pen of White Wyandottes got gway to the best start with a mark of 4§ eggs for the first week. Jacob E. Jan- sen's pen of Rhode Island Reds from North Haven, Conn., was second best pen with a score of 42 eggs. Another pen of Rhode Island Reds entered by E. Newton Searles from Pomfret Center, Conn., was a close third with a yield of 41 eges. Three pens of Leghorns entered by Mrs. J. L. Theusen from New Haven, Conn., Roy H. Waite of College Park, Md., and W. E. Atkinson from Wallingford, Conn., all tied for fourth place with 38 eggs each. The average production for all pens was approximately 16 per cent. The marnagement of - the contgst is entirely satisfied with the splendid start that has been made. In another week it believes that the birds will be thoroughly accus- tomed to the plan of having a 9 o evening lunch by electric lights. This scheme ought to mean more winter eggs, less moulting in the mature birds and quicker. development of those unfortu- nate enough to be hatched a little late.

It ‘was announced that there is to be a special class in initiation on the sec- ond Sunday “of December to ballot for TO HEAR GOSPEL MESSAGE | “When Dr. Frederick E. Taylor of In- dianapolis and I were chosen by the for- eign mission board to go and preach to the Czechosiavkians, we soon realized we were not going there to preach to them, but simoly repay them what we owe them for the religion that people handed on down through the ages until it reached | the Englich nation,” said Dr. Carfer Helm Jones of the First Bantist church of Philadelphia. sky-pilot of the Philadel- phia Rotary club, Friday night at the Central Baptist church, speaking to Bap- tists from many churches of eastern Con- necticut. “We can trace back what we owe them by going back to the church of the Thes i salonians, then coming down centuries | afterward to John Hus, that wonderful | Christian who inspired men tb go out and preach the goepel, and translated the Bible into his native language. This re- ligious fire spread in spite of persecution until it reached men like William Carey and John Wesley. and the Bible became translated into English. Thus, you see, Crechosiovakia is holy groe™ in Chris- tian religion. “The people that make un Csoslova- kia, the Bohemians, Moravians and Slo- vaxians, were orushed under the heel of the Hapsburgs and Christian religion blotted out, many of the Protestants be- ing murdered, among them the greatest apostle since John, namely, John' Hus. “When the war came these Slovakians were forced to fight for a flag they hated rightfully, for to them it meant civic and religious repression. At first it seemed to them that all hope was lost, but now since the signing of the new declaration of independence by President T. G. Masa- ryk ‘of the Czechosluvakians God has shown that he often uses men for his own purpose, and these people have come into their own. It was Maseryk who or- ganized the deserting Czecks and Slovaks and held over a million Germans from taking part in the drive on Paris. and Who held over 400 miles of railways, their work being so great that the allies Tecognized tifese countries in theic inde- pendence. o “When Dr. Taylor and I landed at Prague, the capital of Bohemia, our great work started, and we took long trips through this new country preaching the gospel of Christ to thousands of peo- ple hungry for the gospel. Speaking through interpreters. sometimes needing two interpreters before our message could be delivered to the peovle, we could gee that the people waited and longed for the gospel brought from American Bap- tists and hundreds aceepted Christ as their Lord. 1In one little town far out in the country in a little schoolhouse we found over 360 people waiting for us to preach. After teaching them we extend- ed the invitation and over 60 arose and wished 10 be bastized. This was a won- derful stand for them, because it meant civil ‘and - religious prosecution for those people to renounce their faith and become Protestants. In-one town the people be- coming Christians. were refused animals to plow their fields, by order of the re- ligious body in_control, ‘and they had to pull the plows by hand. Now there is a Baptist church there, built by the faith- ful people, and many are joining the faith. “On several occasions our lives were in danger when angry mobs formed outside the hall in which we spoke, but each time violence was avoided and hundreds be- came members of our faith. In one town we found 2 man who had been a Baptist for over 10 years, who said his life had been ‘hel’ among the people. Now there are over 60 Baptists there, and by this time 200 more have been baptized and joined the church, the people seeking a religion of Christ, hungering for the werd of God as never before. “These same audiences filled every hall or theatrg and school in which we spoke and during our sermon there was the stillness “of night, every one straining forward to catch every word of our in- terpreter. After our services they came forward and with tears in their eyes thanked us for the word of hope we had brought. These people are religious by nature, and it is my” prayer that Baptists can send momey to CzeCnoslovakia to car- | ry on this great work. “In one town where there were but 25 Baptists 2 hall was engaged seating 1,000 and on the night we were to talk a hurei- cane broke over the town, tearing up trees and carrying. away housetops, but Within the hall were crammed 1.200 peo- ple eager to hear the men from America who were to talk of God and his king- “It was a great work and one T shall never forget, and it is our duty to bring to these people the message of God, to bring them back to the religion taught by such men as”John Hus and others over 500 years ago, and carry forward the aims of Masaryk, who says in his great book: ‘Jesus. not Caesar, is the slogan of: the new Europe'.” VETERAN HAETFORD TEACHER CAME FROM KILLINGLY Charles L.

Tingley, chairman of the committee The chief activity of the nursing ac- committee this year was the or- tion of classes in home hygiene and care of the sick. Ever since the war there has been an ever-increasing demand for more knowledge along these lines, and it is the aim and earnest de- sire of the Red Cross to make this course availaple to all women, wherever possible, . This has been a difficult task, especially in the rural sections, because of a lack of suitable instructors. K Last November, however, through the’ Nor- wich, Jewett City and Plainfield chap- ters, cooperating, a plan was worked out by which they joinfly financed the expense of a' traveling instractor, 2 graduate registered nurse who devoted her entire time to the teaching of classes in home nursing. Each chap- ter and branch comtributed in propor- tio ‘nto the numbér of classes held in their® territory. The organization of these classes was carried on by each local nursing chairman or chapter rep- resentative in co-operation with Miss Edith Rockwell, Norwich chapter execu- tive secretary, Mrs. Walter M. Pucking ham, chairman of . auxiliaries and branches, and the chairman of the nu: ing activities committee, Eleven class- es were organized and Miss Lydia Coakiey, R. N., of New York, recom- mended by the Atlantic division, began her duties, as traveling instructor on February first and completed the work June first.
