SERIOUS LABOR SHORTAGE
Every Man in This Country Forced
to Secure Essential Occupation

To force every man in the country
into industry essential to the prose-
cution of the war, the Government
is soon to take drastic measures not
only with men now engaged in nom
essential work but also with their
employers. This information has
been received firm official sources by
the Connecticut State Council of
Defense.
Labor shortage of 100000 men
in both skilled and unskilled war in
dustries, with an increased army
coming, has compelled the Govern
ment to take this action. Nathan A.
Smyth, assistant director-general of
the United States Employment Ser
vice, will shortly announce the most
drastic instructions ever issued in
this country to all community labor
boards, which will be required to
prepare and publish in every city in
the country lists of non-essential
positions now held by men that could
be filled by women. The result will
be that men failing or refusing to get
out of such positions Of their own
accord and take up essential work
will be looked upon as slackers. The
order is intended to force the hand of
both non-essential labor and employ
ers thereof.

Enthusiastic Audience Contri-
buted Over So, 900 to Garde
Republicaine

Litchfield County gave to the
Garde Republicaine, the French mill
tary band, over $4,000 at the concert
at Norfolk last Thursday night. Mr.
and Mrs. Carl Stoeckel gave the use
of the music shed, paid the expenses
of the concert and contributed $1,000
to the fund for French soldiers and
the audience contributed over $4,000
The receipts for the first collection
amounted to 1851 in cash, S50
Liberty bond and pledges of SIG
There was also one diamond ring
which was at once auctioned off and
bought by Mrs. Wheeler of Norfolk
for $50. AS an indication of the
liberality of the audience it should be
recalled that the band received only
81 800 when it played at New Bri-
tain.
The concert was a great success
from an artistic as well as from =
financial standpoint. 1t is estimated
that fully 5000 persons were on the
Stoeckel grounds, 1000 in the Music
Shed, and 5000 outside. The exer-
cises were carried out in a splendid
manner
The chief inspector of the highway
department stated that there were
$50 automobiles parked in the Nor
folk streets. A large number, OF
course, attended from Norfolk and
vicinity and the special trains
carried an immense crowd.
Previous to the concert, the recep-
ton committee, which consisted OF
men connected with war work from
every town in the county, gathered
at White House, where a delightful
luncheon was served. This COM
mittee was then divided into various
subcommittee and all marched to
the lawn, where the address of well
come to the French band was de-
livered. III. E. Lyles, A. w. Krouse.

delight in the view from the White
house grounds. 1t was an evening
which will long be remembered by
those who were present, not only by
those who attended the concert, but

OF State Council of Defense to be
formed in State

Girls Auxiliaries of the Connecti-
cut State Council of Defense are to
e organized all over the state. This
was decided today at meeting of
the Council after discussion of the
plan for the development of a uni
fed state program for girls which
would include all of the organizations
working with girls and young women,
as suggested by Miss Jean Hamilton,
general secretary of the National
League of Women Workers, at the
conference on girls work held in the
Capitol on July 10.
Back of the organization of the
Girls Auxiliaries stands the State
Council of Defense with the Bureau
of Health and Recreation directly
This puts to the ser
vice of the undertaking the splendid
machinery of the Council, which has
women's committee already in active
effort in all the 1913 townships in Con-
necticut. The plan of mobilizinr for
patriotic work, it is expected, will be
greeted with enthusiasm by these
women's committees.

AGRICULTURAL FAIR
IS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL
Large and Varied Exhibition of
Vegetables, Grains and
Canned Stuffs

The first far to be given by the
North Canaan Agricultural Fair
Association was grand success in
every way and proved beyond doubt
that the people of this vicinity were
deeply interested. The number of
exhibitions in every class far exceed
ed the fondest expectations of those
in charge and their quality was un-
surpassed anywhere.
The agricultural fair is the out
growth of the Junior Food Army, and
the officers of the association were
practically all interested in this work
when it was Incorporated. A charter
has been issued to the officers from
the state as a corporation without
stock. The incorporation fee was
paid by public spirited citizens of
this town. The officers of the associa-
ton are: Presidents Rev. R. M. Tim
berlake; vice president, E. V. Nestell;
secretary, Jessie Donalds, treasurer,
R. T. Fuller; entry secretary, Charles
Beaujon. The directors are: Charles
Sage, J. C. Stevens, g. D. V. Barnes,
F. R. Collin, Mrs. NIL. Jackson and
Mrs. E. V. NestelL
1t is planned to hold an annual
meeting each year, when those hold
ing membership tickets will be en-
titled to nominate and vote for
officers. The successsof the first
attempt at a fair in this town leads
the officers to believe that a similar
one, on larger scale may be held
next year.
There were sixty-five adult exhibi-
tors and thirty Junior Food Army
exhibitors. The prizes were awarded
to these as follows:
