FOR LETTERING WATERWAYS
Call Issued For State Meeting-Seven Norwich Men Are General Committee-To Organize Connecticut Deeper Waterways Association at New Haven Meeting

For the purpose of organizing a Connecticut Deeper Waterways asso- citation a call has been issued for 8 get together meeting to be held aS the Chamber of Commerce in New Haven on April 1 at 2 p. m. The call is as follows:
 Call for the Meeting.
 Everywhere greater attention is be- ing paid to the need and advantages of water transportation. The railroads of this country are notoriously unable despatch and at reasonable cost. This applies to the thickly populated sec tions of the east and especially to the New England states.
 The people of the west and south have been developing their waterways for years with the aid of liberal ap- propriations by congress, while we of New England have been indifferent upon the subject
 Millions have been spent by the government in creating waterways in the west and south because the mem bers of congress from those sections have consistently pressed their claims. Connecticut has neglected to profit by their example. Its rivers have re- mained untmproved. it's harbors have received but slight attention, although the state occupies strategic position on the Atlantic coast line.
 The time has now come however, when the manufacturers and business men of Connecticut should realize the advantages of improving the water ways of this state. There has been a great awakening in the New England states for the past two years to the value of water transportation Ship ping by water can be done more expe- ditiously and at less cost with a mod ern system of waterways than it is being done by rail
 If the citizens of Connecticut desire to share in this movement so that our waterways may be rendered capable of utilization they must join in some concerted effort to gain governmental aid.
 Realizing the need of a strong state organization in order to accomplish something in this direction. the dele gates from Connecticut to the Ma tional River and Harbors congress held at Washington. Dec. ?. 1913, appointed a committee to call a state gather ing for the purpose of organizing a Connecticut Deeper Waterways asso- citation. designed to ascertain the needs of Connecticut for better water facil- ities and to push the claims of the state before congress
 The committee asks all citizens of Connecticut, particularly it's manufac- turerS and business men, to lend their aid to this movement by attending the organization meeting to be held at

CENTRAL VERMONT PLEA.
Wants to Retain Its Water Line, New
 London to New York.

Relief from the provision of the Panama canal act requiring the di- Vorce of railroad ownership from steamboats is sought by the Central Vermont Railway company in an ap- plication just filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington relative to the steamers of the Central Vermont Transports ton company now plying between New London and New York and those under construc- ton intended to ply between Proy1- dence and New York.
 The railroad company is financially interested in the Central Vermont Transportation company, but the ap- plication says that the continued oper- alton of the Sound steamers under the present arrangements would be in the interest of and for the convenience of the public; that the steamship line now handles freight for the Central Vermont railway and that exclusion, reduction or prevention of comteti- tion would not be caused by continu- ance of the present arrangement.
 If the Interstate Commerce Commits sion does not extend the time within which the railroad can retain it's in terest in the Providence New York steamers beyond July 1. the law re- quires that the railroad steamboat df- vorce shall become effective on that date

A TRUE ARTIST.
Philip Hale, the Boston Critic, Pays Tribute to Frederick w. Bancroft.

In his column, As the World Ways. Philip Hale. the famous musical editor of the Boston Herald, writes:
 Frederick w. Bancroft who died here last week, was known to many throughout New England and in the middle states and the west. Reared in Montpelier Vt. and being in comfort able circumstances, he suddenly through dedication found himself obliged to support himself and others. He did not fret or whine or take un- due advantage of the sympathy of his friends. Although his health was al ways delicate, he stouty went to work He had light and pleasing voice; his taste was refined, and he had the gift of quickly making friends and retain ing friendship. Having studied intelli- gently in this country and later in Italy. having sung in church cholrs. since his voice was not heavy enough for opera or for important concert work he devoted himself to singing Irish. Scotch and English ballads and folk songs He had a lively sense or humor; his voice was suited to music of a gently pathetic character, and so he used to describe himself as "a. serfo-conic vocalist" People of all classes and conditions enjoyed his en- tertainments, and he prospered- He found time to translate the text or tor- eign songs for music publishers. These versions preserved the spirit Of the original helped the singer by the dis position of vowels and consonants, and respected the musical thought and rhetorical emphasis of the composer Thus Mir. Bancroft lived useful and happy life. He did not regret past fortunes; he was not unduly and un- comfortably ambitious. His cheerful ness was not asSumer, nor was II az gressivef Kind, generous, thoughtfui of others, a true artist in his medest way he will be missed by many He will long be HeuFHed by those vine knew hiH9 well.

NORWICH TOWN
How Missionary Society Got Its Name Jacob Hafner Recovers from in-
 juries-Miss Dorothy SteeIe's Death.


 The Lathrop Memorial Foreign Mis- sionary society is to be meet thls Wednesday, afternoon in the chapel of the First Congregational church. This society received its name from the four Lathrop sisters, who during the first half of the last century went as foreign missionaries, Ayo to India and three of them ending tfNeir lives in for eign lands. One of the sisters writes: :: When Mrs. Winslow went to India ln 1919 the sending of missionaries to the heather was considered chimerical by the churches generally. Her pastor bitterly opposed her going, and her grandmother reproached my mother for allowing it."
 Mrs. Elizabeth I4athrop Hutchings, whose portrait is on the wall of the room where the meetings are now held went with her husband to India in 1883. She spent the later years of her life in this country. She visited Nor wich Town in the nineties and found of sixty years. Her parents, MT. and Mrs. Charles Lathrop, are buried in the old cemetery, and on Mrs. La throp's stone is engraved the words Missionary Mother"
 In a letter written in 1899 from Orange, N J.. Mrs. Hutchings says; Tt is to our enemies the British that am indebted for the pleasing fact that Norwich became the home of my fathers family. Under the leadership of our traitor townsman, Benedict Arn- old, they had previously set fire tC New London, my birthplace, and 1T 1913 it was understood that they agair charge the court records was obliGe ec to remove them to a. place of safety and so returned to the native town oi himself and my mother"

 A Nation Wide Movement. The movement for deeper water ways has become of national import
 ance and interest, all sections of the country striving to make the most of their rivers or harbers as afford
 ing the cheapest method of trans pOrtation. Navigable rivers are being created from shallow streams and
 canals are being constructed to link
 bodies of water together
 Up to very recently Connecticut has done little to improve her waterfront or inland streams nor has much o1 anything been done for her by the national government. But at the pres ent time there are indications that a 'ew era has come. Surveys of a nav igable waterway from Norwich tC Worcester and another at New Bri l tain will undoubtedly be ordered by
 congress, as will an appropriation oi l s330. 900 for improving New Londor ! harbor and $10.O00 for Thames river l These are but the beginning of othel | vast projects for the development ot 1 the marine transportation facilities oi l Connecticut, so long neglected.

 OVER THEIR SHOPS
Prosecutions in New Britain Stir Up
 Local Men.

Norwich barbers are watching with interest sthe proceedings of the state barbers' commission, which last week caused the arrest of eighteen barber shop proprietors in New Britain for alleged violations of the state regula- tions referring to their trade
 Among the charges made against the New Britain barbers were that their shops were unclean, that they failed to have running hot water, and that they used the forbidden styptic pencils to staunch the flow of blood when a cus- toner was accidentally 'nicked" What will be done with the accused New Britain barbers will be decided in the court there this Wednesday, morning.
 The news that the state commission was on it's rounds caused some search ing around the Norwich barber shops this week to see that they were fulfill ing the requirements of the state law and be prepared for a possible visita- ton by the state officials.
