LaUDABLE CAUSE.

There should be no thought of fail ure of the organized effort to provide means for employing visiting nurse in this town. The object should com mend itself so forcefully to every think ing citizen-ev cry intelligent man and woman-that the consummation of the plan will be a foregone conclusion.
 In Falls Village and the town of Sal isbury, where the services of district nurse have been enjoyed for some years, the people are loud and enthusiastic in their expressions of approval and en- dorsement; and they would no sooner think of dispensing with those services than of closing up their churches. Experience has demonstrated the in- estimable value of an efficient trained nurse who is ever ready to respond to an emergency call, from any class or condition of society, at any hour of the day or night; whose services the poor as we'll as the rich are free to command
 The mass meeting, called for Thurs day evening, May 21, in the Town Hall, should attract every person in the town, who has an interest in the welfare of its people, the conservation of health, and the preservation of life-especially the lives of the poor children who are in danger of dying from neglect or ignor- ance.
 This is one of the most important matters on which the people have been called upon to act, and the importance of it should impress every local Canaan ite.
 An opportunity will be afforded every one to show how much he or she is in sympathy with the project, and we have no misgivings about the generosity of the response.

THE GET TOGETHER PLAN.

Discussing the Boston Plan" of community improvement, which pro- posses that all the individuals in the community shall be consulted and each given an opportunity to offer sugges- tions and to participate, Walter Prich- ard Eaton, in the May number of "Stockbridge, says:
 tSuperimposed improvements, for which a genuine desire has not first been created, we do not believe ever amount to much. Nor is any improve ment which is given by few rather than worked for by many, ever of half the value to the character of the con- munity. In this, 'Stockbridge' believes the Laurel Hill Association will heart fly concur. Because of this, Stock bridge'was started, and holds it's columns open to suggestions, though as yet the letters have been too few. John Rode meyer, of Canaan, (who has his serious moments, though those who heard him at our Forum might doubt itD prints every week in his paper little slogan -'Get together, pull together That after all, is the spirit of the Boston Plan. It means the awakening of a genuine social sense.

The War,
le Editor of The News:

To The Editor of The News:
 Said Senator Thomas in Congress: 'tl would not give one clear-eyed American boy, the pride of fathers heart and the center of mothers earnest love, for all the land and the people in Mex icos" Then he adds: "I wish congress had power to force the owners of news papers, the editors and the men who from the public platform and in private have been crying for war, to go to the front ill place of privates in the army, '' to which we most heartily cry, Amen
 President Wilson, is fortunate il that he has no sons to go as privates and be shot down like dogs. His son-in-law is probably too academic for the army and his son-in-law to be, Grandpa Mc- Adoo, is exempt because of his extreme youth.
 We read in a recent newspaper article that President Wilson played golf in the forenoon of certain day and it seemed grotesque, almost incredible that such piece of trivial nonsense could be regarded as of news interest to the millions of people who are wor- rying about war, dreadful, horrible war. There is an old song that dates back to the days of our grandfathers, called "Jeannette and Janian," (am not sure that the last name is spelled correctly, ill which the young girl parting with her soldier lover, has voiced the senti- ments of millions of people, especially women people:
 "Oh if Iwere king of France,
 Or still better, pope of Rome
 I'd have no fighting men abroad
 No weeping maids at home
 All the world should be at peace,
 Or if kings must show their might,
 Why, let those who want to quarrel
 Be the only ones to fight. "
 That's it. We wish that Wilson and Huerta would get in some back yard, under the clothesline and with Bryan and Villa or Carranza for referees, let them strip to the waist and have it out with each other over this proper salute and gun-bowing bus mess. Wouldn't that be better than killing off our young men by the hun dreds and thousands !? The thought of this slaughter of valuable and precious lives should leave Wilson no stomach for playing golf, Qbut we notice that it doesn't. Some. of us Americans have got to pay for this possible war in blood and tears, loss and anguish un- speakable, simply because two men disliked each other. There you have it in a nutshell. Our Opinion.

CARE OF CHILDREN.

In practical address before the Parent Teacher Association of Stock bridge, Dr. A. F. Riggs, of that town presented some points in the care of children's health that should be read by every teacher and every parent of a child. A summary of the address is printed in the May number of "Stock- bridge.' Summarizing his discourse in starting, Dr. Riggs says:
 Broadly speaking, the physical needs of the child may be summed up as good air, good food, rest, recreation, exercise. To these must be added in- telligent care, both at home and school, of the child's eyes, posture, hearing and nerves. This applies of course to the normal, healthy child"
 He then goes on to particularize un- der these different headings, and gives valuable hints and suggestions which every intelligent parent should relig- iously commit to memory.

When to Marry.

Marry when the year is new, Always loving, kind and true. When February birds do mate You may wed nor dread your fate. If you wed when March winds blow Joy and sorrow both you'll know. Marry in April when you can, Joy for maiden and for man. Marry in the month of May, You will surely rue the day. Marry when June roses blow, Over land and sea you'll go. They who in July do wed Must labor always for their bread. Whoever wed in August be Many change are sure to see. Marry in September's shine Your living will be rich and fine. If in October you do marry Love will come, but riches tarry.. If you wed in bleak November Only joy will come, remember. When December's snows fall fast, Marry, and true love will last.

Letters From the People
Sufragist Appreciation.

To the Editor of The News:
 Being one of those privileged to march i'll the Suffrage Parade ill Hart ford last Saturday, want to voice my appreciation in your paper, of the courtesy, respect and chivalrous treat ment shown us by the Hartford police.
 The features of the Connecticut Suf- frage Parade which impressed me most were the handling of the crowds by the guardians of the law, and the quick ap- preciation or quick tolerance of the throngs along the route, in accordance with their pro or anti suffrage senti- ments.
 We can be truly proud of our Ameri- can people in a public demonstration like that of Saturday last.

WHEN SOMEONE CARES.

Iris such a precious thing to know
 That someone cares for you; That someone feels an interest
 In what you say and do. It makes you strive to do your best,
 And life Is we'll worth while; It fills the heart with happiness,
 And gives the lips smile. When there's someone with faith in you, There Is no task too great; 1t gives you courage, cheer and strength, To cope with any fate. It makes the darkest clouds roll by; 1 Life's sky Is clear and blue, When someone feels an interest,"

The newly organized Canaan Auto mobile Association is bound to be a valuable adjunct to the town, in the benefcent influence it will exert in the way of enforcing 8 decent respect, on the part of needless and reckless chauf- feurs, for the rights of the general pub lie who have occasion to use the high ways in their own business. This does not refer, necessarily to needless chauf- feurs in Canaan, where, it must be ad- mitted, they are remarkably few; but one self imposed mission of the Associa- tion will be to adopt measures that will discourage reckless chauffeuring hereabouts on the part of the touring autoists who pass through towns, by the thousands, during the touring season.
