The new golf course for the Norwich Golf club on the land recently ac- quired below Thamesville has been definitely decided upon since the sur vey and work on getting it ready will be started as soon as possible The nine hole course has been laid out practically as suggested by R. H. Pryde of New Haven. who as an ex- pert came here to assist the club. The clubs property begins on the hillside to the right of the highway above the DeWolf house just north of the DeWolf switch on the Montville line. and it is there that the clubhouse is to be erect ed after the course has been complete
 The first teeing ground will be near the clubhouse, the play being in a northwest direction to the first hole ASA yards away. The tee is purposely set back from the ravine which inter venes 230 yards so not to be liable to drive into it. There is a punch bowl green for the first hole. The second hole is an iron shot into an- other punch bowl being 167 yards. The third hole is like the second, the teeing ground being across the New London turnpike and the distance 175 yards.
 The fourth hole is alongside the brook with a drive on a level plain and then on to hilltop about 40 feet elevation which is very abrupt. The distance is 322 yards. The fifth hole is for APO yards. the hole being located in the elbow of the brook. the greens and birches there forming a pretty pie ture. The sixth hole is uphill on to knoll again into a natural hollow, the hole being inside of it. The hollow is about four feet deep and about the size of a circus ring. most peculiar for nation.

 Social Problems.
 Some Social Problems of Our Rural Life was the title of a thoughtful and suggestive talk by Rev. Harry A. Bea- dle of Franklin. A number of things were noted that were believed to be hindrances. to the country people get ting together and enjoying the social side of life as it is enjoyed in city communities. The layout, the isolation of the land. long distances, dark nights and rainy and bad weather were men tioned. In addition the work of the farmer is urgent in its demands on us, for we must make hay while the sun shines This work, too, absorbs our attention and is exhausting Besides The petty squabbles among neighbors that we occasionally hear of is an other drawback. In addition we should consider the questions of race suicide and the immigration of vast foreign population.
 As a remedy for these evils Rev. Mr. Beadle suggested that we look up some nice social leadership, and this should be found, he thought, in the granges the Sunday schools and in the church eS. We should also have common meeting place, somewhat different from the ordinary, where we could have the proper kind of entertainment and so- cial intercourse. But present condi tions, he added, are not fixed. and If we tackle these problems in the proper spirit we cannot fail to accomplish something.
 Following these remarks. an open discussion succeeded and was heartily entered into by large number. Pre- vious statements were commented up- on and valuable additions were con- tributed.
 Vital Forces.
 The afternoon session was opened with a short praise service which was conducted by the Rev. Charles Peck of Hanover.
 The general topic under discussion in the ofternoon was Vital Forces in Our Rural Life, and under this head the grange. the rural school and the rural church were considered in de- tail. Rev. L. F.. Livermore of Leb- anon spoke first on The Grange-Its Field of Service. He briefly outlined the object of the grange. which he be- lieved, aimed to help and further the
