School Hoard Meets.

The town school board held their monthly meeting at the town hall Wednesday evening, with little busi- ness discussed except relative to raises in the pay of the teachers.
 It was voted to raise the salary of
 Miss Staebner, Principal Cases assist ant at the high school. T *% The teachers of Natchaug grammar school presented a communication ask ing for a raise Of $190 year in their salary. They said that the high cost of living makes more demands on them, and in other places the teachers are receiving raises, quoting an article from the Putnam news in The Nor wich Bulletin relative to a raise of the teachers pay in that place. They are continually offered better paying positions in other lines and also by saperintendents of other schools who want to hire them for next year, an unusual thing, made necessary by the shortage of teachers in the state. It was first suggested to turn the communication over to the teachers committee with power, but was later voted to have Superintendent Case in- vestigate the matter and report at a later meeting for action. The senti- rnent of the board seems to be in favor of the increase, which will affect about fifteen teachers.
 The meeting adjourned after a ses- sion Of about three-quarters of an hour .e's-e
 About 150 children took advantage of the mayors order giving High street for the purpose of sliding.
 Officer John Killourey was detailed to prevent traffic from going on to the street and at the corner of High and Spring streets rope was hung across the street with a red lantern on it to prevent vehicles from coming on to the street
 There were all sorts of sleds on the hill from the humble bob sled to rip pers' seating dozen people. The hill IS very icy and the ''rippers" have a tendency to turn around while going the hill, but it's fun at that. A red lantern was placed at the foot of High street, but many of the sliders were able-to turn the corner.

And that the just God that rules the
destiny Of nations shall decree that
they shall not have died in vain.
The thousands of MS that shall
never again cross the sea, that also
holds its share of the honored dead
and lies between us and the land,
home, people that we hold so dear.
They shall remain forever beneath
the neverceasing waves Of a foreign
sea and the wooden cross of sol
diers grave. And in the years to
come, when the world shall once
more sing the songs of peace and
prosperity, and the sun of the early
morn shall once more sparkle upon
the petals Of the newformed flow
ers, covered with evenings dew, and
as they wave here they shall not
forget that the field upon which
they grow is the battlefield of France
and that they are waving over the
graves of, the men who paid-and
that it was upon this field that their
blood ran free for world democracy.
When again the fertile fields, fer
tilized again by these many human
forms that at one time bore human
soul, yield their golden grain again,
to give nourishment to the war
starved babe
When the German imperialism is
crushed forever, then the boys will
come home again; but the sea and
the battlefields shall not give up
those who paid the price, nor shall
the dead of the battlefield come to
life. No, they shall remain here
for all the ages of eternity.
Your boy may be among these,
among the many who paid If he is,
in the years that follow and you miss
your boy as you always shall, you
should smilingly and proudly say:
"He did it all for my liberty"

A VOICE FROM LOVER THERE"

The boys "ovcr there" are not
worrying over the part which they
must play in the world tradgedy.
There is inspiration and encourage
ment for tho folks At home in the
fine spirit that IS being manifested
by our fighting men in France. A
McClan county boy writes to the
Blanchard News as follows:
Dear Editor:
We, the boys "over here" wish
you people that we left SO far be-
hind in that glorious dominion Of
Gods country, to know that we arc
just as happy as we can possibly
be under the unfayorable conditions
that now confront us.
We realize that to come up TO your
expectations we must not, and shall
not, weaken. We further wish you
to know that we are fully aware Of
your. sacrifices, of the confidence
that you, have placed in us, and of
the greatness of the mission en-
trusted to our care.
Each man solemnly realizes the
price that he may be called upon
any moment to pay-the price de.
manded Of him by the world for its
future peace and tranquility, and the
preservation of worldwide democra-
cy, Freedom and Justice.
Each and every man has in his
heart, before God, highly resolved
that before the fiendish Hun shall
extinguish the brilliant, shining light
OF our freedom and the freedom Of
our allies, that we shall to the last
man pay the full price, and that
price, we well know is to be death.
We want you there, so far from the
turmoil and strife of the battlefield,
from the roar of the cannon that
calls so many souls into eternity,
that have already given the last of
their resources to the cause, that
we, too, have given much, but, oh!
so much more are we going to be
forced to give. We want you to
have a stronger and surer confidence
in our ability to accomplish the
great task that lies before us, to feel
that we are "over here" to stand in
the front as long as you stand behind
us with your Liberty Bonds and self
sacrifices.
We are lover here" to win. The
men in both branches of the service
have seen many of their comrades
included in the death call, and VIC
further realize that thousands of US
shall yet answer the call. But we,
too, realize that the cause is just.
