THE SUFFRAGE MEETING
Plans Considered for Enlarging Work
 of the League.

Editor News: At the suffrage meet ing held at Christ Church rectory Mrs. A. S. c. Taylor outlined her plan for Litchfield County suffrage work to be carried on among the leagues. Inten- sive organization is the name of tho work. The five school districts will each have a district chairman who with her chosen assistants will take care of the work in her special district. We cannot take up the space required to enlarge upon this, in The News. Suffice to say, District No. , has for ifs chairman, Mrs. Joseph Parsons; town chairman at Falls Village, Mrs. H. N. Wright; town chairman of Canaan. Mrs. F. Hitchcock, and the other dis tricts are to be provided with chairmen as soon as possible. The work begun by Mrs. Hitchcock four years ago-that of getting school voters among the women-is to be taken up again by the district chairmen in all the districts.
 In 1919, 9l women signifed their wish to become voters on the school question and their names were secured on paper by Mrs. Hitchcock. On tue day appointed to appear before the registrar of voters, 56 names of women out of the total 9l were July registered to be made; 36 of this number were afterward made voters on the day officially appointed for that purpose, leaving 20 not made of the registered number, who, no doubt are still willing to be made school voters The names of those who failed to register (35) are lost with the old list containing the 9l names. This work undertaken by one woman alone and unaided, should, in the hands of four. five or six women in each district show astonishing results. A district chairman in each district with as many helpers us she may choose, should not find the work difti- cult since our own, experience has shown that out of 94 women solicited only three refused. Most women want to vote on the school question.
 Now little bit more. Mrs. Taylor's plan has been pronounced by men organizers to be splendid bit of work. It is now openly conceded by those who ought to know, that woman's organization abilities are in some instances better than mems and as one great New York paper puts it, "hard to beat, but as have repeatedly said, without an army no generalship that is of the finest the world can produce is of any use. Mrs. Taylor's plea, re- duced to an extract means, the utiliza- tion of every bit of power and strength that lies in every League, no matter how large or how small, in Litchfield County. This has not been done-bu this will do for now. H.

Dr., ParmeIee Buried.

The remains of Dr. Walter E. Parmelee, of Meriden, formerly of Ga naan, who died Tuesday evening, were brought to Canaan, Thursday noon, and inferred in the family plot in Lower Cemetery after brief service in Pilgrim church at winch Rev. E. c. Gillette officiated. MT. Gillette seid that although he had had no acquaint. ance with the deceased, he found, on reference to the church manual that he had been identified with this church while a resident of Canaan. and had taken an active interest in church work. The service was attended by immediate relatives of deceased and a few friends.
 In Meriden, Wednesday evening, funeral services were held at the un- dertaking parlor of Albert A. May.
 The Meriden Journal of Thursday, said: "Dr. Parmelee, who was born in Canaan had spent the greater part of his life in that town. After practicing chiropody in Springfield he came to this city three years ago. He first located in the Brown shoe store on Colony street but his practice became so large that he opened an office at 55 Colony street which he conducted until he was taken ill.
 During his stay in this city he had made a great host of friends. He be- longed to the Sons of Veterans, his father having fought in the Civil war, and he was prominent member of the Colonial club. Besides his widow he is survived by his mother, Mrs. Parme- lee; two brothers, Owen, of Middle. town, and William, of Warrington, Mass, and one sister, Mrs. William Daniels, of New Haven.'

Beat WInsted Stories.

A correspondent of an out of town paper is qualifying to be ranked with Lew Stone of the Winsted Citizens {:
 The story is told by this writer of J. l.. Case, a resident of Terry Plains, who employs as many as one man and who blows a steam whistle on all possi- ble and impossible occasions. It has been a wonderment to residents of Terry Plains as to why he blows the whistle and the riddle has been solved. MT. Case is also keeper of COWS, and it is understood that when the COWS are being milked he ties down the whistle so it gives one continuous screech, and this causes the cows to give down their milk and this makes milking much easier. This story is passed along for what it is worth and can be accepted as being as worthy of belief as the stories given out to New York papers at $2 an inch by Lew Stone. Bristol Press.

THE MONDAY SHREK
Fire Alarm Signal Gives Notice of
 Dinner ime.

The monday shriek of the fire alarm siren, last Monday, startled a number of villagers, notwithstanding it was clearly announced in The News of last week. But people will forget When the siren began to scream some ran out of their houses to look for signs of fire but were quickly treasured when they recollected that the firemen had insti- tuted the practice of sounding it at 12, noon, each day, to see that the system was in good working condition. It is found to be in fine form and ready for any emergency.
 The alarm is sounded every day ex. cept Sunday, a just 12 o'clock. The firemen wish it to distinctly under stood, how ever, that the time is not guaranteed to be strictly on the second, and while the alarm is sounded as near to the standard of the Western Union noon signal as it can be given in the absence of metropolitan facilities for catching it on the dot, still it will probably vary not more than a few seconds either way. In other words, the siren will give the time sufficiently correct for all practical purposes, but will not assume responsibility of de- ciding whether one mans watch is a fraction of a second nearer right than another's.

Winsted Church Dedicated d.

St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Winsted, was dedicated Sunday morning with impressive ceremonies. A number of Canaan people attended. The structure is situated on Main Street, and is one of the most slightly buildings in Winsted, located on an elevation which gives the church a striking and inspiring appearance. The ceremony was at 10:30 o'clock Sunday morning, and the preacher was Right Rev. Mgr. T. s. Duggan, V. G.. rector of St. Joseph's Cathedral, Hart ford. Solemn vespers with orchestral music were held in the evening.
 Rev. Andrew Slattery and his as- sistant, Rev. Ambrose Grellis, have been working zealously to have the present church constructed. The edifice is not entirely completed. The new side altars are on the way from Europe. The cost, exclusive of fur nishings is $11O,0OO
 The golden jubilee celebration was held in October 1904, with the church free from debt, and preparations were immediately made for the creation of a building fund. The present church was enlarged by the late Father Leo, who added the two els near the side altars.

BIG BIRTHDAY PARTY
Rebekahs Celebrate Nine Birthdays,
 All in a Bunch.

A novel composite birthday party celebrating the natal anniversaries of nine members of the Queen Esther Rebekah Lodge No. 49, was held Fri day evening, following the regular meeting of the lodge. The affair was designed to celebrate the birthdays of those whose birthdays occur in the months of April, May and June. A few invited friends of the members were present at the social session, which was exceptionally enjoyable. The company were seated around a large table in the center of the room. In the middle of the table stood man. moth and delicious birthday cake, which was made by Mrs. Ivan Cam, prodigally decorated with tiny birth day candles. There were about 40 candles on the cake and the guests of honor contested in blowing match, the stunt being to blow out two candles at one puff-no more, no less. Mrs. Samuel Briggs was the only person who succeeded in accomplishing this few or too many.
 After the blow, the cake was cut and distributed, with ice cream, which all present greatly enjoyed.
 Gifts were awarded to those whose birthdays were celebrated-the ladies receiving cute little Toby" glass dogs with diamond eyes, and the gentlemen little savings banks guarded by Cupids.
 The birthdays celebrated were those of Mrs. E. A. Creevey, Mrs. L. A. Caldwell, Mrs. Samuel Briggs, Mrs. F. H. Lee, Mrs. George Trieschmann, Mrs. Frank Stevens, Messrs. H.. A. Holt, William Buckbee and Leonard A. Caldwell, whose birthday occurred on the date of the party.

Tobacco Damaged S2oo,ooo.

A well.known tobacco man in Wind sor says the hail storm of last Thurs day damaged the tobacco crop in the Windsor section about $2O0, 900, ex- elusive of the loss caused by the wind which blew over large number of sheds. One grower lost three sheds. The greatest loss will be to the early crops which We're doing nicely and from twelve to eighteen inches in height. Much of the tobacco is now ruined. The later settings which are now about six or eight inches ill height ill all probability will grow new leaves and make up for the loss. The storm was the worst in many years.
