MASONS' BIG TIME
Distinguished Visitors Witness Third
 Degree in Housatonic Lodge.

Masons came from far and near, Thursday evening, to witness the work of conferring the M. M. degree-the "farthest' brother having come all the way from the state of Washington, and one hailing iron. a Nebraska lodge. There were eight visiting brothers from Unity Lodge. of Dalton, Mass, all but one being Past Masters of the lodge. Nine brothers from Blazing Star Lodge of West Cornwall, were present, one of whom was Right Worshipful Brother L. J. Nickerson, Grand Senior Warden of the Grand Lodge ofs C6n1ecticut. In all, about sixty Masons EsNtasnded the ceremonies and partook of the feast that followed, served by the ladies of the Eastern Star.
 With w. M. Charles J. Beaujon i'll the East the first part of the degree work was impressively performed by the degree team; for the second part Grand Senior Warden Nickerson took the Masters chair and conducted the work in his masterful dramatic sCyle which was cordially commended, later, by the Massachusetts brothers es- pecially.
 After the lodge work, W. M. Beauion invited the assemblage to repair to the dining rooms adjoining, to partake of the supper, which was served by an adequate constellation of "Stars." It was one of those appetizipg spreads for which the Star ladies are famous, and full justice was done to it by all pres ent. When the feast was finished the brothers moved back into the lodge room, where an hour of informal oratory was indulged in, and some interesting speeches were made, the speakers being Brothers Nickerson, of West Cornwall !; Captain Robert B. Dickie, of Dalton, Mass; E. E. Gaylord, of Herman, Nebraska; John K. Mackie, of Fall City, Washington, and Falls Village; Rev. l.. E. Travis, George W. Ford and Charles Laffargue, of Canaan.
 The Dalton brothers declared their intention of inviting Housatonic Lodge to visit Unity Lodge at some time ill the future. ...<.e
 Among the guests who registered in the lodge guest book were Brothers l.. J. Nickerson, Dr. Grand-Ljenard, l.. 0. Sturges, F. A. Yutzler, W. A.. Preston, Edward Cartwright, A. w.. Bailey, R. N. Cochrane, Blazing Star Lodge. West Cornwall; Captain Robert B. Dickie, O. 0. Bartlett, J. H. Bel lows, E. E. Ford, H. s. Lawrence. M. E. Stockbridge, E. H. Bronson, Unity Lodge, Dalton, Mass. J. K.

Will You Relpg

Ten million surgical dressings ana bandages are wanted now. for the wounded in Europe. There are uuS enough bandages to go around. The bedding is worn out. Newspaper sheets are luxury.
 The Surgical Dressings Committee, 299 Fifth Avenue, of which Mrs. Mary Hatch Willard is National Chairman, appeals for materials and volunteers to make the materials into dressings Men, women, children, and "shut in" can help. Churches. clubs, schools and societies can assist in this work There is need of every pair of hands, and for the love of suffering humanity let every one in this community do their share and do it quickly.
 A piece of old or new material few inches square will make a dressing for some poor wounded lad. The finished bandages are sent to Europe free of charge. -
 AS we read in our morning paperE the last news of the European war, dc we stop to think, can we realize, that thousands are dying even now, because suIBtOuH dlA1l hbSbtiN AioNS h04 hhS needed material to dress their wounds with?-the surgical dressings, which would prevent bleeding to death or the infection of the wounds.
 We stand aghast at the awfulness of the slaughter, at the thought of the suffering of the wounded. We long to save some of the lives even now ebbing away on the battlefield, or in the crude hospitals. for lack of some thing we can give.

East Canaan's EIigibIes.

An East Canaan correspondent calls The News attention to the fact that within radius of two miles in that village, there are B widows and old maids, 28 widowers and bachelors, and 40 young ladies and young gentlemen, all unmarried. The correspondent neglects to state what she considers The News duty in the matter, but in the, absence of hint we venture to suggest a general shufaing-up of the parties referred to. It is a condition that demands treatment, undoubtedly; but Leap Year is less than six weeks distant Let nature take its course.

SELECTMEh HAVE POWER
Town May install Billy Cop and Put Up School Signs.

S''NO' O'S'Ss
 First Selectman c. G. Smith has re- ceived a reply from the state highway commissioners, to the the two petitions sent in for warning signs and n billy cop. The reply reads as follows:
 Referring to your letter of Novem- Der l6, in regard to erecting certain signs in your town, the Department has st the present time under construc. tion danger si yns referring to railroad crossings, steep grades and sharp curves.
 Such of these signs as will be of advantage will be erected in your town as soon as received, and probably before tue first of tine year. The highway de- partment, however. do not furnish signs for school crossings and such signs will have to he erected by the town itself. It will also be necessary for the town tp furnish and maintain a Silent Policeman if such marker is desired.
 "Mr. Mulville. supervisor for your district will take up with you the mat. ter of the location of these danger signs.
 This would seem to indicate that the entire proposition, of 'billy-cop and school signs, is plainly up to the town itself and that the selectmen have ample authority in the matter. and puts an end to the contention over legal jurisdicti m. which has given spice and spirit to the controversy. There seems to be no good reason for further delay i1 getting the billy-cop discharged from the hospital and anchor him at his old stand.
