| issued since our national convention,
| the department president desires to i'm
prove this opportunity to express the
thanks Of the department to the voting
delegation from Connecticut for their
| faithful attendance upon the sessions
of the national convention. No de-
partment could show more interested
workers than our little Nutmeg state.
To the department commander, John
H. Bucklyn, and his staff, special
thanks are rendered. They spared no
pains to make our trip to Chicago q
pleasant one and by their presence and
assistance in receiving they contributed
much to the success of our reception.
1t is impossible in this order to mem
ton all to whom we are indebted Tor
kindly courtesles but the department
president holds each one in grateful re-
membrance. Thanks are also rendered
to w. w. Perkins corps New London,
for their painstaking and fine rendering
Of our ritualistic work for the benefit
of the department inspectors. 10 tho
president who presided so ably and in
such a dlgnifed manner, and to the
corps as q whole for their cordial well
come and unstinted hospitality Also
to the corps in the department who
have responded so generously to the
call for rocking chairs for the Soldiers
home
She announces that in compliance
with the rules of the order the annual
election Of corps officers will take place
at the first regular meeting in Decent
Der or at a special meeting II necessary
to conclude the election and that the
officers shall be installed at regular
meeting in January or at a special
meeting called for such purpose during
the month.
Sections and of the orders are as
follows:
v. Thanksgiving and Christmas time
will soon be here, sad hearts may be
cheered by our loving sympathy and
empty hands are stretched out to us In
appeal for the substantial help which in
proportion as our Heavenly Father has
blessed us, we should be only too glad
to bestow. Let us not forget the veter-
ans in our Soldiers home. II has been
suggested to the department president
that large, easy, knit slippers would
prove very acceptable gifts for the in
valids in the hospital,
VI An effort is to be made at the
next session of our legislature to Sc
cure an appropriation for cottage
homes, If all the prosperous corps of
the department, could feel it a duty
laid upon them, to set the ball rolling,
by following the example Of Mason
Rogers corps, No, 46, W. W. Perkins,
No. IS, Admiral Foote, No. 3, and
Mansfield, No. &C. and set aside sum
of money, as nucleus for this pur-
pose, might not this prove a telling
card in the hands of the committee to
be appointed to further this most
worthy object; as 1t would furnish
proof positive that as an organization
we are thoroughly interested in, and
alive to the need which exists for such
homes.
