company Of Home Guards and they
will plan for the annual dance which
was formerly given by the Sons of
Veterans alone. The dance is given
annually, and the proceeds are con-
tributed towards defraying the ex
penses of the annual Memorial Day
exercises. The organization pre-
viously has been successful in it's an
nual old fashioned dance, but feels
that with the aid of the Home Guards
improvements will be possible. The
dance will be given in the Town Hall
Friday evening, May II, and Nc
Keon's orchestra will furnish music
The number of veterans is dwin-
ding and it is the intention of the
local organization to keep up the good
work it has begun by showing every
year to the Civil War veterans that
the memory of the dead is still fresh
in the minds of their descendants.
This year, as usual, there will be a
parade. and the veterans will ride in
automobiles. Some of the automo biles
are donated for use for the day gratis,
but those cars that must be hired to
accommodate others must be paid for
from the funds of the local Sons of
Veterans. This necessitates holding
such a dance annually.
1t is hoped that by Memorial Day
the new flag for which the society
has been canvassing for some time
will be raised, as at present nothing
but the Liberty Loan honor flag
adorns the green in Kensington. 1t is
also likely that at this time the ser
vice flag of the town will be raised,
The town has now about 1T men and
three women in the service. There
are also several liable for draft in the
town, and most of these will be soon
called. This will bring the number to
about 1870. Such a flag will certainly
be an attest to those passing through
the town on the main line that there
is going to be nsiderable rivalry be-
tween Berlin, Germany, and Berlin
Connecticut, in this present fracas.

bridegroom could pass a civil service
examination in the higher moralities.
and that he was financially able to
support a home, what is the particular
quality that would make him most
livable and lovable through the long
years of matrimony? For. alas, it is
only too true that many a one who
possesses all OF the virtues, has none
of the amenities of life.

thetic or not.
