MEETING HELD AT RADIATOR PLANT Tuesday during the“noon hour at the plant of the Richmond Radiator Co., he local Y. M. C. A. conducted the third of a series of meetings, with Rev. Charles H. Ricketts as speaker. Mr. Ricketts chose to speak along the line of the 302nd anniversary of the found- ing of our Republic, as the anniversary occurrs today. The speaker "said in part: As this great anniversary day comes again, we do well to think of what the day means or ought to mean to us. The declarations and decisions of our fore- fathers were not forced on them from iwithout, but they came from within; {they did not grow up as mushrooms, but thTough the years they ‘came forth. England through parliament ~ decreed that - the people should worship accord- ing to its dictafes, but those brave men said, no, we propose to worship God as they suffered persecutions, realized their hopes. They set out to cross an unknown and jtreacherous’ ocean: it was a long, try- jing “vovage, but finally they arrived in the mew land, which they so much de- sired. It is always a healthy indica- {tion when people who are in any way oppressed, seek a new place. They did three significent things after they land- ed on these shores; they built a meet- ing house that they might worship; they built along side of the meeting house a school to care for their mental needs, and they ‘erected a town hall. They made provision for their religious life, their 'education and their civil govern- ment, and this great trinity then intro- duced formed the basis of ‘our great Republican government. ‘Wherever' they went they painted these basic foundations, and these gave tone to-our American life. These principles grew slowly, but as is always the case, things that grow slowly grow strong. On our hills there are great white oaks that have lived 200 years. time of the Civil war,_America had come to be .a nation of ‘wonderful strength -and development, but the period of that war ‘well nigh ruined us. The great Lin- iZoln arose, the maf of the hour, and his declaration, that “no nation could sur- ~rive, half slave and half free” came from 'n heart -touched by the Almighty. God black man has a. white heart, and sim- ply because he may be somewhat infe- rior mentally is no. reason to enslave him. 3 The statement that “might right” makes is a thoroughly unsound prin- ciple; we must never submit to this spirit, There is no reason why any. vacé should be slav Our forefathers | suffered great hardships and trials; they first fought hard-against sickness and epidemics of various kinds: they fought against the Indians. and they had many other obstacles, but -they ever kept the three great principles in mind, religion, education ;and civil government, and we, too, have our fighting to do in order to maintain the great principles these men laid down. (Ours.is the mightiest civ- lization the world has ever known. or ever will ¥now. It is here in our be- oved America where the final destiny of the world will be worked out. — NORWICH REPORTS SCARLET FEVER AND DIPHTHERIA Two. cases of scarlet fever and one case of diphtheria were reported from Norwich during: the week » ending 'Dee. 16, according to thé weekly morbidity re- port Jssued Tuesday by the state depart- ment of health.

NORWICH TO OBSERVE EYE SIGHT CONSERVATION DAY Aided by representatives from Presi- dent Harding’s cabinet, federal and state officials, university professors, engineers, industrialists and civic leaders, the Eye Sight Conservation Council of Ameriea, with national hemdquarters at 42nd street and Broadway, New York city, has set in motion a movement for the ob- servance throughout the country of Eye Sight Conservation Day in the schools. Every school in Connecticut will be asked to join in establishing the new semi-annual custom of Eye Sight Con- servation Day, planned as a universal and permanent -contribution to the Amer- ican system of education. The Eye Sight Conservation Couneil is enlisting the assistance of commission- ers of education: In every state, and of {superintendents in every county and school district. Connecticut &chool offi- cials have been provided with a com- plete Eye Sight Conservation Day pro- gramme. To execute this plan A. B. Meredith of Hartford, state commission- er of education, and local superintend- ents throughout the state, will co-oper- ate in the Eye Sight Conservation Day movement, including Warren A. Han- son, of New London, Edward J. Gra- ham of Norwich, W. R. Snyder of Ston- ington, P. Clement of Gris- wold, V. D, Moody of Montville and ‘Waterford, Mary G. Collamore of Essex, Frederick H.

Turner of Killingly and H O.

In my successi nual reports. I have spoken of the ever- increasing usefulness and effectiveness of the Connecticut Industrial Council. The association has promoted organiza- tions in the various districts of the state. Tt has nourished those organi- zations and has lent them every posei- ble aid because it realizes that @ state association cannot live unto itself, It| recognizes that mediums for exchang~ of ideas and information must exist An analysis of thé membership fig- ures ‘discloses the fact that 265 of our members maintain-plants with one to 50 employes.

Compare this figure of 2,499 distinc: services which were given in 1922 with past years. In 1915 the total number of Tequests for aid were 200-in 1916, 216; in 1917, 320; in 1918. 640; in.1919 in 1920, 1850; and in 1921, 2.249 As evidence that our efforts and the efforts of others have been rewarded. I wish you would note that in 1920 there were 84 industrial disputes in the state of Connecticut in which 20,734 workers were involved. The estimated less in production was $14,519,761.12. The estimated- loss to workers in wages | was $4,334,118.29 and 745,346 working days were lost. In 1921 the number of disputes was reduced to 27. The num- ber of workers involved was 2804, the estimated loss in .production $1.583,450 and the estimated loss in wages $4. 244.

Morgan, and company, night declared at the dinner of the coun- cil of foregn relations that the on hi company declined to extend Germany at this time was be American public would not lend port. Speaking informally, at the conclusion on international subjects by Albert Thomas, director of the interriational la- bor office of the League of nations and Walker D. Hines, former director gen- eral of railways, Mr. Lamont said the position of his firm had been misunder- stood—that press reports gave an im- pression that the request of the German ambassador had-been met with a refusal “We told the German ambassador, said Mr. Lamont, that a loan was not possible because at this time the Amer- ican pubtic would not consider buying the bonds.” . He asserted the German ambassador also had been informed that we, as bank- ers could not recommend the subsortp- tion of such a loan at this time to invest- ors. 3 A wosld public opinion, breaking throngh national boundary lines and forcing a world solution of tho: international problems which are blocking the rpad to peace and progress in Europe, is gradnpal- ly: coming into being, Mr. Thomas, de- _ clared. “No matter what ay be the obstacles,” M. Thomas said, “an attempt must be made to settle the economic = Adifficulties with which the world is beset.”in a spirit of solidarity and of conciliation between all people. “The opinion is growing that the ques- tion is no longer the question of repa- rations between France and Germany, that the stattlement even of that thorny question might leave Europe in a' state little less chaotic than that which ex- ists at present.” sup- LOUISIANA GUARDSMEN state, that our pafticipation this pear fryolve only a momey I find that #t win impossible to (attempt in any way ¢o recount even a the most important accomplish- the association I shall, there- but one 17 spat to, OUT ON SECRET MISSION Monroe, La, Dec. 19.—Company G, Louisiana National Guard, consisting of €5 men and three officers under the com- mand of Captain D.
