THE PARISH MESSENGER
Issued by Rev. E. c. GilIette's Church
in Plainville.

There lies before us a neat four page
folder with the ABOVE heading. It is
stated that it is printed occasion ally by
the Congregational church of Plain
VILE, Conn, Edwin Carleton Gillette,
Minister.
This number is the second of volume
l, and is devoted to announcements of
the Easter services, which were to be
held in the reopened church; services
having been held in the chapel during
the winter because of the coal situa-
ton. At the Easter communion service
held at four o'clock, ~ were received
on confession of faith and IL by letter,
the largest number received in any one
year in the history of the church. This
shows that Mr.. Gillette has kept busy
since going to his new field from Pill
grim church, Canaan, last November.
Among other interesting items, we
note that the every member canvass
resulted in securing subscriptions
amounting to $4,000 90, about $500 90
more than what the church has been
in the habit of raising. This makes
possible the installation of q steam
heating plant at the parsonage. to-
gether with other needed improve
ments.
The mems supper held January 80
resulted in the organization of a
Brotherhood, that has already taken
hold of the needs of the community;
the first meeting being devoted to dis
cnssion of gardening. The Pilgrim
church Brotherhood owes its origin to
Mr.. Gillette, aud we predict great
things for the Plainville church with
him at the head of its varied activi-
ties

instance causes hydrophobia in man.
The figure, however, has been placed

THE JUNIOR RED CROSS
In CANAAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Steps Taken by Local Auxiliary to In
troduce Junior Red Cross in
the Schools.

With all it's manifold activities in
these days Of world war, the Red Cross
has found itself severely taxed to meet
the many demands made on it. So the
idea of using the yet unorganized
power of the school children was con-
ceived, and is being carried into effect
through the Junior Red Cross.
This society includes members OF the
public, private and parochial schools.
or those boys and girls attending other
organized educational centers, under
direction acceptable to the Chapter
School Committee.
Junior membership through the
School Auxiliary is granted when for
this purpose, a sum equal to twenty
FIVE cents for each pupil has been CON-
tributed to the Chapter School Fund,
or whsn the school Is pledged to pre-.
pare Rel Gross Supplies or engage In
other Red Cross activities. No part of
it is to be diverted for Chapter use, or
for general expenses of the Red Gross.
Any child who has already paid the
dollar for a regular member is also a
member of the Junior Red Cross. Each
Junior is entitled to wear the Red
Cross button and the school in which
every pupil is a member may display
the special Red Cross banner. .e /
The service to be rendered by the
Junior Red Gross Is manifold. In
general, it is borne in mind that the
educational aspect is to be emphasized.
Help in campaigns with posters. can
wasting, distribution of circulars,
gathering of magazines and books for
soldiers, packing supplies, sewing,
knitting, shipping, making scrap books
for hospital use, war garden work.
canning aud drying of vegetables and
fruit or anything that would safeguard
health, care of property, teach regard
for animals and birds, as we'll as any
like duties of every good citizen.
As the local Red Gross is Auxiliary
to the Litchfield Chapter, the initia
tive for the Junior work came through
communication from the Chapter
School Committee, Mrs. William ],
Dykes of Litchfield, asking the presi'
dent of this Auxiliary to appoint q
chairman for Canaan.
Mrs. Frank f. Stevens accepted the
position, and by invitation from the
school authorities presented the work
to the teachers of the town schools al
their regular monthly meeting March
49, On Monday, March 90, she told
the story of the Red eros; and the
purpose of the Junior work, to the
pupils in each grade, adapting 1t to
the possibilities of the various ages.
The pupils accepted the call for ser
vice with enthusiasm, every child sig
nifyinR desire to become member
and to do his or her part to win the
wa, demonstrating the wisdom Of
those who would enlist the scholars Of
our schools on the side of the right.
1t is not the intention of the Red
Gross to take the management Of the
Junior work out OF the hands of the
school authorities, but to aid and so CO
ordinate the school activities that these
may be vital part of the general Red
| Gross work.

NORMA ADAM WINS in
PILL BOTTLE CONTEST
Boy Scouts Have 443 Guesses But
Fail to Capture Savings Certi-

The Boy Scouts endeavored to cap.
ture the prize by selling Thrift Stamps
on the street which would entitle them
to the guesses The boys sold stamps to
the amount of Sill 90, which gave
them 443 guesses on the number of
shot in the bottle. They started the
numbers with $40 and took in every
number up to LOO. feeling quite sure
that there was not more than this
number in the bottle, but as the shot
were being counted they gave up all
nope of winning, and as one boy re.
marked well we have done some
good anyway, even If we didn't win
the prize.
The boys have done some real work
In selling these stamps and deserve
great credit, not only for the work
accomplished bat for the spirit with
which they entered the contest and
the sportmanslike way In which they
accepted defeat, which seemed impos.
sible with the number of guesses they
had entered.
There were over 800 guesses made
and Thrift Stamps to the amount Of
SALSA were sold at the Fuller Hard
wsre store, of which amount the Boy
Scouts sold $1I1.92. The contest has
proved to be SO popular that it is ex'
pected others will be started in the
near future,
