This is the season of tho year whel organizations terming themseives “Good Tellows” are organized in cities for the purpose of seeing that a roal, merry Christmas comes to those who are not ctherwise Mkely to have ome. This In- cludes a fine holiday dinner and the gitts that go with the day that the spirit of Christmas may be properly spread and that all who might not ota- ervrise exnerience it mey be fully cared for. it !s an excellent ddea, dinos there are those who ara alweys anxious & ‘ay Santa Claus to thcse who are like- iy te be obliged to pass Christmas ithe same as any other day, cunsckus of the great pleasures others are having, dut mindful of their own uifortunate posts tion. For the “Good Fellows” to re- spond to such situations, and they are not &iMocult to find, is most praisewor- thy. Likewise the real joy of Christ- mas giving comes through the knowl- edge that the gifts and the dinners are going where they will be thoroughly op- preclated. Norwich hasn't such an organization but it has great numbers of “Good Fel- lows" who are always eager to respond at such a time. And while it may lack the particular kind of an organization referred to, it does not lack for the eg- ficlent services of two well equipped and far reaching organizations, the family welfare department of the United Work- ers and the Salvation Army. Both of these are now making ap- peals for Christmas work, They are well acquainted with those who mneod the ministrations that they are prepar- ing to render, they are equipped to @is- tribute it and they are eager o be the Santa Claus for the many hu: of Norwich people who desire to be good fellows to those where circumstances of one kind or another warrant It. Many are there who learn of the need of such Christmas effort and the made there will be no children and no homes in Norwich that will cheerless on Christmes day. —_— THE BOTHERSOME BALLOT. A community which has voting ma- chines can have little patience 'with those which persist in clinging to the oid method of voting by ballot, and keeping at the same time that excellent chance of mixups, recounts and “dis- franchisements which figure close election. That there is a feeling of dissatisfac- tion with the method of voting by bal- lot, such as now prevails in Massachu- Setts, can be gathered from the contests, delays and reversals that have taken piace in that state following the receat election. Concerning oertain candidates ths election was decldedly close, so close that a call for & recount occasioned no surprise for i is known how easily mistakes can be made under that sys- tem of counting. Many were the towns that showed the vote had been incor- Teotly counted in the wenatorship con- test, even though it d4d not change the outcome. Yet there wwere others where it did and the fight over the election in that state hasn't as yet ended. cause of the uncertainty contests can be kept alive for @ considerable period. e entirely in every election of & councilman in Springfield and at this distant day it is found omt that a reforendum on one question subd- mitted to the citizens resulted in defeat of the measure Instead of its approval @s the election night figures seemed to indicate. The mechanical device for registering votes works with that same accuracy as does the counting machine, Your Vote is counted 83 you cast it. You cannot disqualify yourself by voting for too many and your vote !s not left to the tender mercy of the counters to de- cipher, There is available the complete and correct vote a few minutes after the polls close and there is overcome the grovnd for a contest even though there is a majorfty of but one. The se- crecy I8 just as great and the Creedom from the trowdle making contests is a Gecided relef. Hvery contest and every long drawn out vount make friends for the voting machine.. SAFETY IN THE AIR. For several years there has been demonstrated the need for better regu- lation of the airplanes, with particular reference to thuse outside of the gov- erument servive. It has generally bee: congidersd. that they were operating un- der “regulations which would overcome certain of thoso conahions that might not be expected from the commercial or bleasure machines, And yet there was a conclusive @ome onstration at Langley fleld that regard- leas of such regulations as exist for the arvly fllers, there 1s apparemtly need for more definits requirements and aa ‘nsistence upon esmch aviator conform., regard for the safety of each other, would maintain their 'Cormation and ‘oarey out the designated manoeuvers with the purpose of NORWICH BULLETIN, TUESUAT, UECEMBER 12, 1922 were individua! members of a footbali team.

If Langley has his way the house will ass such a measure at this session, by an omnibus bill covering the entire coun- try. Speaker Gillett is not ready to express an opinion at this moment, but it is understood to believe the house will not pass such a sweeping measure at this sesslon, carrying as it does, a tremen- dous expenditure of publle money at the time the country is trying to reduce its tax burden. In faet, unless Langley swings a big influence in his committee it is an open question if the bill isn't left to die there and fail to get & re- port.

THE FEELING IN KANSAS, On the surface there wrere 'reasons for the feeling In certain quarters that the election of a democratic governor in Kansas would mean the end of the Industrial court, espectally since he ‘was declared to be strongly opposed to I if the matter was given no further eon: sideration. It hasn't as yet beéen determinad pointed out some time ago, the fact that the legislature of the state is strongly republican and strongly committed te the court indicates that the guberna-| torial vote cannot be regarded as a fi- nal test upon that subject. ‘The court was only one of those in- tangible issues that bdbbed up In many states. Governor Allen was not a can- didate for reefection so the cholce of a democratic governor didn't m«uul such rabid opposition to the court which he fathered. Had that opposition ex-|ith isted it would have been reflected in tha election of members of the legislature, The chie? chsplain of the army, Cel. Axton, has recently made ‘a report which gives some interesting facts along the line of church attendance by sol- diers and the religious status of men in camps and posts as compared with church attendance of civilians. The re- port states, among other things, that there are 636 chaplains in the army; that they are divided into men from all sects from Roman Catholic, Protestant denominations, Jewish less well known religious organizations. The Salvation Army has chaplains of its own. The Roman Catholic church has the largest representations, with 146 chaplains; next comes the Methodists with 128, then the Baptists, 84 and the Protestant Eplscopal with 75.. The otb- er denominations run from 70 down to 2. Col. Axton refers with enthusiasm to the church golng habits of soldlers at camps and posts. He said in part: “Theé total voluntary attendance indicates that every man in the army attéends church voluntarily 12 times each year, The at- tendance of men at posts and camps greatly exceeds that of the country at large”” In enumerating the attendance for the past year Col. Axton states the Catholics attending services totaled 28 550 ; while the total Protestant attend- ance was 999,326 for he same period. ‘The ealy ripple of excitement In the New England delegation thls week was whén the car driven by Hon.
