OfHce OF The Mayor.
City of Norwich,
Connecticut.
To The Norwich Morning Buiiletin:

1 take great pleasure in responding
to the invitation of those who have
interested themselves in the Father
and Sons movement throughout the
United States and point out to the peo-
pie of Norwich the social value and
sound morality involved in their I'M
dertaking.
At the beginning of the New Year it
seems appi opriate that our attention
lie direc,ed with special force to those
simple relationships and virtues upon
which the soundness of all social or
CARNATIONS must depend. A whole
some society rests upon a sound family
relationship and neither wages or cost
of living can long matter much unless
those who work and live have sym
pathy and honor and love in their pri-
vate lives.
If we Fathers and Sons and the
Mothers and Daughters of Norwich
begin the New Year with the resolve
that our Sons and our Fathers be
more comrades and our Mothers and
Daughters be more companions to
each other, it will add both to tile
sweetness of our private life and to the
value of our citizenship
TIMOTHY G. MURPHY,
Mayor.
