Costume Recital For Red Cr0ss at POm-
 fret

Distinguished French Artist to Appear
 The Costume recital to be given by Miss Beatrice Wainwright of New York the afternoon of August 7th at S30 on the lawn at Dr. 5. B. Over lock 5 Pomfret, promises to be unique feature in the summers entertain ments. Miss Wainwright is dis tinguished French artist, whose achievement in this country has been onspicuously recognized. Not only has the Press of New York given her unstinted notice, but singers Of the rank of Sembrich have been generous in appreciation. Miss Wainwright Is, moreover pupil of Yvette Guilbert, whose genius is too well known to need characterizing word.
 The program to be given on this oc- easion is peculiarly charming in its presentation of old English, old French, and modern Russian songs in costume, while the cause which Miss Vain wright serves with her great tai ent, The Red Cross, is one to insure hearty response and cooperation from the whole countryside. Harold 5. Si- mOnds, as accompanyist, also gives his services. No one should fail to profit by this opportunity to enjoy rare musical event, and at the same time 10 contribute to cause of vital importance.

BOARD
 IN SESSION
Physical Examinations Began Thursday. Every Married Man Claims Exemption Of the First 4l Physically Examined zS
 Are Passed
Ten Days Are Allowed to File Aifdayits
 of Exemption
Board Thinks Several Hundred Will Have to Be Examined 10 Get Quota of Il9

The exemption board of the 18th draft district got down to business Thursday morning and began the ! physical examination of the 23S men summoned to appear in the next three days. The board is composed of Dr. J. B. Kent, chairman, Attorney C. L.. Torrey and E. A. Sullivan, the last named of Danielson.
 At g o clock the superior court room was well filled with young men and soon the examinations began in the bar library. pr. Kent examined the men assisted by Dr. E. F. Perry In the afternoon Dr. George Barnes of Dayville also assisted so that more ex- aminations were made at the afternoon session.
 If drafted man was examined and failed to pass one physician he was turned over 10 another for examina- ton. As this happened in a number of instances il caused loss of time.
 The court room was a warm place. The men waiting their tufns sat about in shirt sleeves mopping their fore heads, all anxious to get into the K aminiug room and out again. It was apparent that the majoity did not care to be soldiers. Every married man claimed exemption. The sing le men however were not looking to get out of the service and were ready for what might come. There was one ex- ception, big husky from the rural districts, who claimed nervousness as an exemption and he failed to pass the phy sical test.
 The first man examined was Frank Mowry, teacher of manual training at the Tourtel otte Memorial High school, North Grosvenordale. He passed but is married.
 During the morning session but 19 were examined. Of these Is claimed exemption and one failed to pass the physical test.
 At the end of the days work it was found that 6l or the 80 summoned for the first day had been disposed of. Of these fl were examined physically. 2s passed and Is were rejected. IS were found to be aliens and were not exam ined had already enlisted and did not appear.

PATRIOT HOME
 GUARD FUND
Money Comes In Slowly For Boys Who Have Volunteered to Protect City's Homes
 and Industries
Every Little Bit Helps and Company is
 AppreciatIye

The PATRIOTS Home Guard fund received more attention this week than the week before. By pounding away we believe the people can be made to realize that this organization which they are asked to help finance is not in any sense an organization for show on parade but is banded together for serious purpose and for an emer- gency that may arise at any time when the people and the business in- terests may need them and need them badly.
 The state Is now left without it's na- tional guard as that has been called to federal service. It's only protection now is the Home Guard. It is for this purpose that they stand and for this purpose they were organized. If the |. w. w, or any other organization should attempt to start trouble in our factories and use physical force 1t is at once apparent how helpless we would be without some protective organiza- ton that can be called upon.
 Captain NeGatry has made A re- quisiiion for ammunition. With this on hand the guard will be ready for ac- tuHl duty We hope the necessity for this duty may not arise. This country has had It's lesson in being prepared and it will be hundreds of years, If ever, before the lesson is forgotten.
 The PATRIOTS fund is to help main- tain this local protective company. We were in hopes that the manufae- turers of this section would realize the importance the guard is to them and feel that it was in the nature of insur. ance that they could we'll afford to participate in. Also the storekeepers and business men.
 In Webster the seiectmen have de- cided to purchase shoes for the guard in that town. Whether our town or city officials have been asked to assist in any manner we do not know. It would seem that the matter could be well taken care of by individual sub scnptions if each person would give a small amount. This is by no means charity. No one has d right to think 1 that. It is a business proposition. The governor of this wealth called 1 for the formation of a home guard. An appropriation was made to uniform and arm such companies. There the state has seen fit to stop so far as Ii. nancing is concerned. It is up to the people in the towns protected by these citizen volunteers to see to il that their necessary requirements are forthcom- ing. Everyone may help by giving
 little. We hope 10 see more subscrip- tions roll in before next Friday. We can assure those that have already sent in contributions that the mem- bers of the company appreciate every

Turk Took Out First Papers

Mayke Shotoian, sn Armenian, showed spirit that was com. mendaole. At first he was misunder- stood, the board thinking he did not wish to fight. He came back soon howe yer and made known that he was desirous of becoming a unit in the army of Uncle Sam. It was found that he had not taken out his first ma. turalization papers and so was ineligl- ble. He was told of this and said he wanted to join and WAS ready to take out his first papers it it would help him out of the difficulty. He went into the county clerks office, received his papers and passed the physical test. He not only passed but the doc tors said he was almost physically perfect.
 Wanted to Uphold Fighting Family Name
 A young fellow named Lee was re- jected on account of bad teeth. He said he would have his teeth taken care of. He wanted to fight he said to uphold the record of the fighting fami- ly whose name he bore.
 There was little to break the monot- ony of the routine of looking into mouths, examining hearts, testing 1 lungs, etc., etc., that the doctors kept up all day.
 There is no way of telling at present | the final result of the examinations as applicants have 10 days to make claims for exemption good and then the board has 3 days in which to de- 1 eide such claims. From present pros- poets it will be some time before the personnel of Putnam's, the 18th dis trict's, quota is made known, and 1t looks as if several hundred more will have to be examined.
 Up to one o'clock this Friday after noon l03 of the l60 men summoned to appear before the exem ption board on Thursday and Friday had been put through the mill.
 With Dr. J. E. Kent, Dr. E. F. Perry and pr. George Barnes sll work ing this morning, better progress was 1 made than at any time since the eX- aminalions were begun, and more than 40 men were called in.
 On the first 2S examined Is passed the physical examinations and lZ failed to do so The married men, without exception, continued on fn- day to claim exemptions.
 Several men examined this morning will be accepted for service. some who were rejected expressed regret John J. McGann, Goodyear, and Ches- ter A. Ryan, both having defective eyes, refused to claim exemption

FOOTBALL STAR
 IN FIRST CAME NEXT SATURDAY.

The Coyotes are sure of meeting the Alumni at the Fair Grounds next Sat urday in the initial game of the local season, final plans having been made last night. A little eonfab as to of ficials was one of the things which was holding the Alumni off but when a long distance call made it known that Ed Brooks would play, the pa pers were sigued up and plans com pleted.
 With the annot onement that Brooks is sure of playing, he Alumni hopes raised several degrees above par and all would bet their last dollar on the teams chances. Brooks leaves soon for Purdue where he WI take up electrical engineering, and i, was only after much talk and a lot of nrsuaG- ing that he decided to parl-eipale in the battle.
 Last year as the season be1v~a Brooks held down the fullback posi- tion on the Occidental college team and was hailed as the leading back and the fastest man in football togs on the coast last season. With these recommendations the members of the,

 Captain Geare, after the phone mes- sage from Brooks and an interview with Coach Geary of the high school paced around town bearing a broad smile looking up his men who he had told earlier in the evening would probably have to play without their idol He even went as far as to give out a probable starting lineup for the battle and the names of several subs who will be sure to play.
 The arrangements for the game that have been determined on are that there will be ten minute quarters, played, the fair grounds field will be. used. ePter Nenne will be urged to act as referee.
 The lineup that has been given out when stacked up against that of the Coyotes looks like this:

 Those were the days, continued Mir. Sweat, but it took you too long to get anywhere Take this deer hunt for in stance and think how long it would have taken us to travel that distance with an OK team. and I never thought the time would come when l would go hunting in an automobile.
