AT DAY NURSERY
Twelve Children Now Being Cared Eor-Next Week Number Will Be Increased

Eor-Next Week Number Will Be
 Increased.
 Twelve children are being cared for daily at the New Britain, Day Nurs- cry in the Burritt school building. The number has increased gradually every day since the opening of the nursery and the need of such a place is be- Comlng more and more in evidence. Mrs. Frank J. O'Brien, the matron in charge, is now receiving registrations for the care of the children next week. Now many of the children are being taken care of by older brothers or sisters. With the opening of the schools next week the older children will have to be at their books and as the mothers will want to continue with their work in the factories they will send the infants to the day nurs- cry.
 A visit to the day nursery will re- pay those who are interested in wei fare work. They will find the chil- dren enjoying themselves at the games arranged for them. They are contented and already d noticeable improvment is being observed with some. The luncheon prepared for them is healthful and is greatly rel shed by the children. The rest hour is a trying one for those in charge. Some of the children do not want to take d. nap and it is no easy matter to keep them quiet while the others sleep. The cute little beds provided in the ward appeal to a few of the children and they eagerly anticipate the time when they can get into their little cots, dressed with wholesome clean linen.
 Persons having toys laid aside in their homes will confer a. favor by sending such as they have and which may be of further use.

Work or Fight

There's no use mincing words about the
work or fight order We are in life and
death struggle that involves every man, woman
and child in the United States. The seriousness
of the struggle is becoming increasingly appar-
ent every day. The need of fighters and work
ers is commensurate with the menace of Ger
man aggression.
No man has the right to dodge the issue or to
resort to evasion. The Richmond selective SER
vice board is on the right track in demanding
that men engaged in non-essentials change their
occupations and become productive war workers.
Failure to comply should be followed Immediate
ly by induction into army service.
The New York Times raises the point that
everybody comes under this draft, and then
goes on to say:
"Secretary Daniels was right-as has become
rather habit of his in these latter days-when
in his Carnegie Hall speech this week he reiter-
ated and emphasized the fact that they are mis-
taken who think the obligations Of the war, in
regard to service and sacrifice, rest only on those
of us who are of what is called draft age
Just as he said, man woman who is
above that age can as easiy-and as wickedly-
be Stacker as those whose years already call
them to take the field in direct conflict with the
common enemy. There are tasks for every one
of us to perform, and whoever looks for one can
find it, usually at hand. Not to make the
search, or not to treat the discovery as oppor-
tunity instantly and effectively to be utilized
that is to join the ranks of the foe, to prolong
the war, and to delay the victory of the good
cause
There is nobody except the infant in arms
who cannot do something for and in the war, and
even the infant can be getting ready to do his
part in the era Of reconstruction, which will also
be that of retribution."
