 Turning to some items not covered by the other reports. The pastor has made the usual number of calls. There were twenty one funerals in the par ish, three of which Mr. Thienes at tended There were nineteen wedding ceremonies, two of these were con- ducted by MT. Thienes.
 The childrens sermon has been a feature of the morning service for a year. The change in the Bible school hour of meeting has resulted in a good attendance of scholars at the morning church service.
 A pastors view should be forward rather than backward. He must car ry in mind what is to be done rather than what has been done, congratulat- ing the church on the past but wish Ing for greater things in the future.
 There are some recommendations that the pastor would make.
 FYrst-That s40o be set aside for the church Bible school.
 Second-That we accept as our ap- DOrt1OnmcnL TOT DcHeVOleI1CeS, Sf,4Vo. The pastor is willing to entertain motion that either of these be in creased but not one that will take a step backward.
 Third-It was the pastors prtvil- ege to recommend to the society the engagement of a secretary. There is much work that such a secretary could do, keeping the books of the society and the church, keeping rec ords for both, making card indexes, correspondence, etc. Some churches use the part time of such secretary and 1t might be that such part time would do our work. It is hoped such an arrangement can be made.

They mean, if they mean anything, that the war is to be fought on until these objects have been real ized, until all of them have been ac- complished. That is, unless Germany backs down. And those who know Germany know that she will not read fly acquiesce to the demands of her enemies. The Allies declare them selves united in the pursuit of their supreme objects. They are deter mined, individually and collectively, to act with all their power and to consent to all sacrifices to bring to a victorious close a conflict upon which they are convinced not only their own safety and prosperity depends, but also the future of civilization itself" Words could not be stronger. No idea could be presented in clearer fashion. The Allies intend to fight to the finish.

BRONCHITIS SUFFERER
Cured by a Simple Remedy.

Colum bus, Ga. II am telling every- body what Vinol has done for my husband. He had 8 bronchial cough his system was rundown and I felt sure he would die. His father insisted on his trying Vinol, and I am so thankful he did, because it cured his cough and built him up. My docor highly recommends it and said he could not take anything bet .ter.'' Mrs. Thomas Monk
 Vinol, you know, contains beef and cod liver peptones, iron and manga nese peptonates and glycerophos- plates. It enriches and revitalizes the blood and conveys to the system the vital elements necessary to strengthen the body and throw off the disease. That is the reason it was so successful in MT. Monks case
 Anyone in New Britain who has bronchitis, a chronic cough, or needs building up, may try a bottle of Vinol, with the understanding that his money will be returned if he is not satisfied.

HOLD FEM, HOnD FEM"

Pork barrel legislation is not solely a national i'll. There are symptoms of it in the individual states. There have been signs of the disease in Connec- ticut in the past. There may be an outbreaking of it in the future. At tho present moment there is every chance in the world for an epidemic. When the members of the 1917 Legis- lature met in Hartford yesterday to tackle the task of committee work they found treasury loaded to the hilt with good red gold. There may be some among them who will itch with the desire to spend this money. It is a natural trait. and it will require the firm steady hand of the executive to stay the impulsive- ness of the spend -thrifts.
 Just as in the national congress there are men who greedily seek to carry away every dollar they can lay their hands on for the purpose of enriching their separate and indi- vidual districts. so in the state legis- lature there are like grabbers of pork. Knowing that the exchequer Of the state is brimming with the where withal to purchase sundry and some times unnecessary. things for their particular districts, these lawmakers may plan an attack on the treasury. There will be all sorts of excuses for the good old State of Connecticut to unite the purse strings and let the lucre fly. In his annual message the Governor alluded to what may be ex- pected. He showed the tendency of some districts, and pointed out. that there might be an attempt to spend the states money on armories. As the future of the national guard is somewhat in doubt any plan to build a number of armories throughout the state will miscarry. But there are other things the photographers have in mind. And during the course of the present session they wll come to the surface.
 Expenditures there must be. A state, like a home, cannot continue to operate without funds. But there is a clear line of demarkation be- tween extravaganza and economy. There is a peculiar odor that dis tinguishes at once the presence of pork. And in this year there is no place for the pork-barre in the states appropriations. There is surplus in the treasury. and there should be no drive on this money sim ply for the sheer joy of spending it. If there Is, we look to Governor Hol. comb for protection. He stands there as the watchdog of the treasury, and it Is his duty to hold 'em.'

SMALLPOX PREVENTS GAME
High School Game With Waterbury Called Of-Deeaned Unwise to Per-

In order to guard against any pos- sibility of a spread of Waterbury's smallpox epidemic to this city, the school authorities today cancelled the basketball game scheduled to be held in the local High school gymnasium this afternoon with the Crosby High school team of Waterbury.
 At the present time Waterbury is in the throes of a serious smallnox scourge and there are between 100 and 150 cases in that city, new cases being reported almost daily
 To date New Britain has not had 8 single case and the authorities thought it best not to take any chances of bringing germs here by permitting large delegation of Waterburfans to come. While all of the visiting High school players would come from homes free from contagion. the local officials thought safety first" the best plan, and decided to take no chances on a stray germ being trundled into town.
