SECOND CHURCH I5O YEARS OLD
Anniversary will be Celebrated the Date Recommended by the Committee Being September 25-Was Organ izsd July "A, 176O

One hundred and fifty years ago on July "A, the Second Congregational
 church was organized and at a recent
 meeting of the church it was decided
 to celebrate the anniversary, which
 comes in a few weeks. committee
 consisting of J. D. Haviland, Mrs. J.
 M. Huntington, Mrs. Lucy A. Forbes,
 W. s. Allis and Henry D. Johnson was named to consider what form the eel ebration should take and at the mid week meeting Thursday evening the report of the committee was made by Mir. Johnson.
 Although the anniversary date ac- tualIy falls on July A, the committee recommended that the celebration be held on Sunday, September 25, or two months later. This was believed wise because of the fact that the celebration on July A, while on Sunday. would come on the first of the vacation Sum chourch would be away. and owing to the probable hot weather it was thought it would hardly be a success full celebration then. In September it could be made a rally Sunday. The committee recommended that the church be decorated and that at the evening service the sister churches be invited. It was also suggested that there be a social reunion Monday and be invited and that special exercises be held in the Sunday school. The re- port of the committee was accepted, and further action will be taken later
 The Second Congregational church was organized July 24, 1760, six names being signed to the covenant then and six more signed when the first pastor,

The bell was at til a tower had been added to the church. The building was destroyed by fire in November, 1783. and for several months services were held in the Episcopal church.

EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN.
Attorney General HoIconnb Called on
 for an Opinion.

In response to a request from Fac
 tory Inspector George l.. Mclean. At
 torney General Marcus H. HOlcomb
 has made an inteE Epretation of the law
 relating to the employment of women.
 The case which called for interpreta-
 ton of the law was a factory in this
 state which is a working a. day and night force. The day force works on in any one day. The night force, con sistsing of F women, works every night from p. m. to a. n., eX- cept Saturday and Sunday night, with one-half hour off for lunch at mid night, thus making 57 1-2 hours a week. It is claimed that Saturday is made shorter work day in that the employment is only for the morning. The factory inspector desired to de- termine if the employment in such cases of women for such excessive hours for the employers convenience, and not for a shorter work day is not illegal.
 After quoting section 1. chapter 22O, of the public acts of 1909, which re- 1ates to manufacturing and mechanical establishments, the opinion contains the following:
 ''The factory to which you refer runs nights as well as days. The days work of the night employees which include women-comprise DOT tions of two days, or perhaps more ac- curately stated-of two nights-Viz from o'clock D. m. of one day until o'clock a. m. of the day next follow ing and this is continued for five days Cor nights) during five days Cor nights) of employment in each week. Each separate employment therefore covers twelve hours. Deducting the midnight half-ho for lunch makes II 12 hours of labor during each em- ployment, and for the five employ ments makes 57 12 hours of labor turing the week. This is less than -he 5S hours of labor a week which he statute permits and therefore does 1ot exceed that limitation of the stat Ite.''~
