Was Speaker Before Knights of the

At the Columbus day banquet held by the Knights of Columbus on Tues day in Meriden, Rev. w. A. Keefe of PIainfield, state lecturer of the order, was one of the speakers. His subject was Catholic Achievements.
 In the course of his eloquent re-
 marks that won applause from his hearers he asked that all those who had any doubts about what Catholicism has done for America to take their map of the United States and to look at the names of cities founded by Catholics and named after saints Of the church.
 In closing he said that Catholic aI- legiance may be depended upon to back President Wilson in the defense of the flag which no true Catholic in this country has ever been known to desert He said that it is the work of the Knights of Columbus to study Catholicism; to study it not in the spirit of bigotry. but that they may know what Catholics have done in the past, and be the more able to help sustain the country that the Catholics love

Were the situation thoroughly understood there need be no fear that the county would hesi- tate to expend funds sufficient to safe guard these helpless wards. committed to its care. VIII you help tell of this need in your section of the county
 The responsibility of the children committed to this Home does not end with the care of those under this roof, but extends to the. larger number placed out in family homes for whose weil-being we depend largely upon the committee of town visitors.
 Death has taken toll and within two years has taken from us five tried and valued members of this committee. Their memory Is precious. their places are hard to i'll. but doubtless other busy friends of dependent children will take up and carry on the good work.
 The board of management desires to, express its appreciation of the work of these visitors and wishes to thank any who have given them assistance in their work, CT who have in any other way small or large added to the happiness or made possible the w>s- fare of the children under its care. Visitors Make Their Reports.
 Thirteen of the nineteen town vfsf- tors were present and made their re- ports upon the children who are plac- ed out in families and are under their observation. These reports were by. Mrs. William Fitch for Bozrah. Mrs. John F. Luce for East Lyme Mrs. George A. Haskell for GriswoId, Miss Ella l. Smith for Franklin. btiSs .Ab- bic M. Clark for Groton, Miss Hattie E.
