Norwich bulletin., 1914-11-12

Nearly 200 delegates from all over ftl1e state were present at the 34th ia.nnual meeting of the Woman's Auxil- tiaTy of the Board of Missions Of the diocese of Connecticut which conven- ed at Christ Episcopal church on We'd nesday with a business session in the morning and a missionary service in the afternoon. At 9 o'clock there was holy communion with offertory, Bis hop Chauncey B. Brewster officiating, assisted by Rev. Richard R. Graham, rector of the church, and Archdeacon J. EldTed Brown.
 Urged Work in Coming Year
 At 10:30 o'clock Miss Elizabeth D. Ferguson of Stamford, the president, assumed the chair and the business session opened with the reading of the minutes of the last annual meet ing, which were read by the recording lSecretary, Miss Edith Beach, of West Hartford, The last annual meeting YVES held in Trinity church. New EIa- ven, with 396 delegates present. In her address Miss Ferguson, the presi- dent, referred to the coming years work and said in her opinion on ac- count of the existing conditions it would be q. hard one for the auxiliary and the only way to have the mission work carried on successfully would be for everyone to do what she is able and to enlist the services of others.
 Corresponding Secretary's Report
 Rev F. R. Graham presented the parish report which showed the parish to be in excellent condition. Rev. MT. Graham also presented the re- port of the corresponding secPetary, Miss Mary 4. Goodwin of Middletown. In her report Miss Goodwin spoke of The work of the past year as follows:
 In considering the work of the Con- EE,,a7L l. LN. Hilary for the past year, the first feel 5ng was one of disappointment at find ing the figures were not so high as those Of 8 year ago, but remembering That las. year was the triennial, when according to our usual custom, all the money collected for the united offering between June and October, though actually given in this auxiliary year, was included in that report, we realize that tl;is is by no means an unfaYorable record.
 Two or three years ago, at the sug- gestion of the bishop, a plan was started which may now, I think, be regarded as a regular Connecticut cus- tom of holding an auxiliary hour in connection with the opening of the diocesan conventional has undoubted- Ny resulted in great good, and given us an opportunity to make known to many whom we could not otherwise reach, the various features of our work, our aims-our hopes, and is also bring ing about a realizing sense of the value or parish branch to the parish. We hope the time will soon come when every parish. no matter how small will. as a matter of course, join our ranks.
 Last year we had the faith and cour- age to slightly increase our pledges, AfId happily they have been fully met indeed with a surplus of about $200, which has been given to the united offering
 The amount contributed. through the

different departments of the auxiliary for the diocesan apportionInent was $2,e30.65, and $2.937.95, has been given to specials, among which you will be interested to know the sums given in response to the special appeals pre- scented at our last annual meeting. St Luke's International hospital at Tokyo received $366.17. and St. Mary's school Shanghai, $362.45 The total contri- buttons in money for all objects numbering 2S0 were valued at S11,- 601.20, making grand total of S20,- 95S.01.
 This is briefly a part of our work for the year, but let us not longer dwell on what has been accomplished in the past, wEl it not be more profitable to look forward and face our coming opportunities. remembering that op- portunities God-gtven are obligations God-imposed-
 Treasurer's Report
 Rev. MT. Graham also read the re- port of the assistant corresponding secretary, Mabel A. Schultz, and the report of the treasurer pro- tenn, Mary A. Goodman. A synopsis of the treas urer's report follows:

Preference for PerishahIe

IT owing to congestion of work 1t becomes impossible to effect the r. dispatch of all insured and C. O. D. matter, preference should be awarded to parcels bearing the in dorsement "Perishable."
 To expedite acceptance of insured parcels from senders who do not se- cure tags in advance of bringing pack ages to the post office, it might be practicable at some offices to have a window or some place in the lobby where tags. could be distributed and senders given information and instruc- tions in regard to the insurance of mail and the taking out of tags.
 It might also be possible at some offices to accept the parcels and have the main items of the tags made out by employees without detaining the sender, except to get the declared value and give the properly completed re- ceipt coupon.

c. o. D. Packages

It is believed that a large number of business houses whose shipments of c. O. D. and registered parcels do not ordinarily justify the use of firm reg isIration books. could make very effec- tive the use of them for the holidays and such patrons should be encourag- ed to adopt them.
 The use of the book makes it Nn- necessary to fill out the mailing office and sender's receipt of the insurance and c. O. D. tags. Postmasters are re- quired to lay stress on the advantage of senders insuring their packages. Special placards relative to this feat ure should be printed by post offices having their own printing plant.
 It is believed that the elimination of fourth class matter from the reg istered malls will render the use of lead seals in connection with the dis patch of registered mail during the coming Christmas holiday season un- necessary.

 Advice to Postmasters
 The department offers the following instructions, which are not manda- tory, but each postmaster is expected to adopt such procedure as in his judg- ment is best adapted to nNaet the local conditions prevailing.
 Prospective senders of insured c. O. O. parcels may be encouraged, so far as practicable, without expense to the department, by means of placards newspaper items, etc, to obtain in ad- vance the number of tags which they shall need to be filled out and at- tached to the parcels before presenta- ton of the same at the post office.
 This will result in a great saving of time not only to the post office em- ployes, put to the sendeIs of such matter, besides relieving the cCNges- ton at the post offices and the incon- venience caused patrons thereby.
 Further relief may be obtained at offices which register considerable quantities of mail daily during the season by the use of the quick form of registration receipt Prompt re- quests should be made by postmasters WHO are IOI diECdOy lO use this form of receipt and who believe it's use would be advantageous, stating the number of receipts they wiA re- quire, with estimate of daily average of pieces to be registered.
 Attention should be directed to the necessity of having parcels properly wrapped and -Adorsed. Senders should be encouraged to have the tags se- curely fastened to the parcels de- scribed by them and should under stand that all such parcels must he presented at the post office window ol to rural carriers. and nont placed in ordinary mail drCps
 As a laE<H number of Christmas packages containing perishable mat tel will undoubtedly be presented for insurance, care should be taken to see that all articles of this character are properly packed and indoresd and that no such articles as have pre- viously been described in postal regu- lations are accepted for transmission to offices to which they cannot reason ably reach before spelling.
