Coaldale Doing
Great Work W66fr k fer fer
Red Cross

In our enthusiasm over the large
amount OF Red Csoss work ,iona by
the Canon City auxiliary. We forgot
about the smaller organizations
throughout the country which are
working Just as hard. but are given
little or no publicity or credit
One of the most active and wide
awake OF the smaller societies is
that OF Coaldale. Colo. This society
was organized in January. 1918, wi,n
20 members. Every Friday afternoon
from until o'clock the ladies me II
at the various homes and devote the
time to making bed jackets. pajamas,
ambulance pillows and hospital and
refugee garments. All OF the gar
ments are carefully inspected before
they are sent TO headquarters, and :.
society has often been congratulated
upon the quality of the work done.
a noteworthy feature of this organ
ization is that almost all of the ladies
live several miles from town in differ
ent directions. and it is often very
difficult for them to come TO the meet.
! ings, especially in the winter time
when the roads are bad and the
ground is covered with snow. Every
member. however. counts il no, only
duty but privilege to do Red Croas
work on Friday afternoons. and no one
is ever absent from meeting if she
can possibly avoid it.
A great deal of credit is due to the
conscientious efforts of Mrs. William
Smith, the president of the society
and Mrs. Fred Fell. secretary and
treasurer. The latter. who was one
of the foremost in organizing the
Coaldale Red Cross, was formerly oi
Canon City. and is well known in this
vicinity.
In small community such as Coal
dale there is little or no social life
among the women. The Red Cross
meetings afford the only opportunit.s
for them TO get together. and really
come TO know each other well. Thus
not only is great and good work be
ing done. but a community spirit such
as was unknown before is being fos
tered.

Members of Town School Committed
 Warn Pupils Against Smoking.

Secretary Sidney P. Marland of the town school committee announced that the Killingly school committee, real lzing the alarming practice of cigar ette smoking by pupils in the public schools, do hereby warn them of this crime"
 Dealers throughout the town also are being urged not to sell cigarettes to pupils. as it is illegal to sell to- bacco to persons under 16.
 A section of the general statutes of Connecticut prohibits the use of tobacco by minors and any person un- der IS years of age who shall smoke or in any way use tobacco in any pub lie street, resort or. place in any form whatsoever may be fined not more thas $7.
 The practice of cigarette smoking among pupils has increased to such proportions as to warrant the issuing of warning. Practically all of the
 boys who are addicted to the use of cigarettes know that the use of them Is injurious to their health.
 Members of the local exemption
 board for this district know of case after case where registrants have ir- regular hearts, hearts that now indi- cate dangerous condition of health, due solely to cigarette smoking. The
 result is that these young men are
 not only unfit for military service but
 also for the long, hard trials of civil
 ian life, and what is true of these boys
 Is, or will be true, of the high school boys t owhom the warning has been issued by the representative of the school committee.
 City Charter Talked Of. fn ha hoI A Connecticut In what are usuaIly well informed quarters in Danielson
 it is being stated that an effort is to
 be made to secure a city charter for Danielson.
 N statement is available as to the benefits that may be derived from changing to a city form of government from the borough form, but some change that would benefit can be thought of.
 Danielson has grown very consider ably during the past five years and there is more growth ahead of it. It has developed new sections, and it's old sections have grown. As to the expense of administering the affairs of Danielson under a city form of government, it is heh that they need not be materially, if any, greater than at present. Borough officials serve now without pay. There is no reason why city of ficials should not do so. This is the rule in Putnam, where the mayor and members of the common council re- ceive no compensation.
 Danielson already has paid police department and so far as the fire de- partment is concerned there need be no increase in cost under a city form of government.
 Detailed explanation of the advan- tages of changing from the borough
 to the city form of government are expected later from advocates of the
 plap.

 Possible Games With Sailors.
 Already inquiries are being received here relative to arranging baseball games for the coming season between teams representing towns in this sec ton and the team that will represent the Second Naval Reserve district team, with headquarters at Newport, R. I.
 If there are any real baseball en- thusiasts remaining in towns. here abouts, there is a fine opportunity to see the sailors team in action during the spring and summer months. The team of the sea boys is made up of players who have made records for themselves as professional and semi professional players, so those that would meet them must have something to offer. in the way of an opposing team of real players.
 The proceeds from the games in which the sailors arc to be permitted to take part will go to the War Fund.
