PATRIOTISM KEYNOTE OF
NORTH & JUDD OUTING
Anchor Brand Foremen En-
tertained at Villa Louise,
.Sache1n's Head, By Vice
President H. c.. Noble.

If such thing were necessary. pa
trtotisra to the nth degree was in
stilled into the spirits of the foremen
OF the North & Judd Mfg. Co. Satur-
day when they enjoyed the hospitali-
ty Of Vice President H. G. Noble at
his summer estate. Villa Louise, at
Sachems head They were all pa
triots before they left the city. But
they were better patriots when they
returned and each one was eager to
work harder at his tasks in the local
manufacturing plant "to make the
world safe for democracy It was
primarily an outing for pleasure and
relaxation but underlying the fun was
tone of seriousness, heightened by
the eloquence of the speakers
1t was Mr.. Mobiles democratic spirit
that made such an outing popular.
He realizes that the men who work
for him are the backbone of the en-
terprise and he is one of these manu-
facturers who believe in keeping In
close touch with their personal at
fairs. Like Napoleon, he can tell any
of his subordinates by their first
name. While it was the outing Of the
Anchor Brand Foremen's club it was
really an H. c. Noble outing and it is
not necessary to state that Mr. Noble
enjoyed himself as much as anyone
present.
Leaving here Saturday morning,
the party proceeded to Savin Rock by
automobiles. The land boats were
temporarily abandoned for the steam
er Cynthia, which Mr.. Noble had
chartered for the occasion. and the
gathering was transported to Villa
Louise. No submarines were sighted
on the way although the lookout in
the mizzenmast was certain he saw
something suspicious off the port bow
soon after the anchor was weighed
Investigation proved the suspicious
object to be an obese New Havener
floating around on water wings trying
to keep cool.
When the Cynthia" reached the
dock at Sachem's Head a brass band
was there to welcome the party. At
o'clock everyone scampered for
dip in the surf and as a result appe-
titles were whetted for an excellent
shore dinner served shortly afterward
at the sachem's Head Yacht club,
which had also been engaged for the
occasion by Mr.. Noble.
Captain johnson Arrives
While all were enraptured with the
courses Captain Herbert A. johnson
arrived. Captain johnson was for
merly superintendent at North &
Judd's but, like hundreds Of other pa
triots, he has set aside his own per-
sonal advantages to go to Washington
and assist Uncle Sam as a member of
4 committee associated with the work
of the National Council of Defense.
Captain Johnson's arrival was the CHI
max necessary to make the outing the
success it proved to be. The men rose
en- massee and cheered him to the
echo.
At the conclusion Of the dinner,
George H. Shine, president Of the An
Choir Brand Foremen's club and toast
master, introduced number Of
speakers, including U. S. District At
torney Thomas ]. Spellacy of Hart
ford Mr.. Noble. President George M.
Landers of the North & Judd Mfg.
Co. and Captain Johnson.
Mr.. Landers referred to the fact
that thousands of men who are not
ordinarily considered as workmen are
now doing their bit" for their coun-
try. He said it was not necessary for
men to work in overalls and jumpers
in order to assist Uncle Sam but he
knew they were giving just as many
hours every day and working just as
hard as the men in the shops who are
turning out munitions of war.
Much Of Captain Johnson's talk was
of such a nature that it could not be
printed But he assured those present
that down at Washington there are
onnrf1ittees and committees giving
their time almost freely to help to-
ward a successful prosecution Of the
war.
