ALLIES BOUND TO WIN IN RIGHTEOUS CAUSE

More and more it is evident that the men in the service of Uncle Sam ap- preciate what individuals and institu- tIons are trying to do for their com- fort and pleasure. Sunday afternoon at the local Young Mems Christian Association from 5.30 to o'clock, a large number of sailors. with a good sprinkling of marines and soldiers to- gether with several civilians, enjoyed the weekly ''get together" which con- sisted of enjoyable music by Swahr's orchestra, singing of popular war songs and hymns, a prayer and a ] Erief address bv Rev. J. w. Areson of Grace Episcopal church, who held the I interest of all present by his earnest message. MT. Areson, among other | things, said:
 | T am happy to be connected with the Boys Working Reserve, which had enrolled this past summer over one hundred and sfty thousand high school boys who have been doing splendid service on the farms of the country
 and many of these farms would have produced very little had it not been Tor these boys. many of whom had never known what real hard work was
 before. I was thinking of what should say to you today and the l thought of power" came to my mind 1 What a tremendous power our gov 1 er1ment has to send this man there aud the other. man wonder. The other day l was having trouble with my
 Ford car. and I stopped at a garage and asked the man to repair it; he
 said he could not possibly do it as he had several cars to attend to. I gave
 my card showing that I was in the
 service of the government and this l I1 changed his attitude immediately
 his wasT a concrete example of tht
 power of our government. Then was thinking of the power back of this great country of ours; it is the power of Gods word, which is playing sucl ] a large part in the affairs of the world. That passoge which reads l Thy word is a lamp unto my feet ant Ia light to my pathway How won- derfully the word leads us as a gov ernment and as individuals. The req
 sen we are bound to win the victory
 as that we are fighting that others
 may have what belongs to them ant the reason that our enemies are sure
 to fail and fall is that they are en-
 deavoring in every possible way tt
 rob others of their rights; it will cos
 us much, even the blood of many O
 our best young men, but we will pay whatever price is necessary to accom-
 plish the purposes of God which art our purposes.
 Many beautiful flowers were sent 1T I and these were much appreciated. d Following the address, a substantial
 and homelike lunch was served b!
 the ladies of Grace Episcopal church
 of Yantic, and the ladies certainly Git
 themselves proud in what they served
 and the efficiency with which the, l served it.

DAY OF HERolc DEEDS
 SAYS SECRETARY HILL

On Sunday morning at 9.15 o'clock the regular breakfast at the '. NJ. c, A. was served to the marines, soldiers and sailors, and the usual good num- bers were present, fully seventy five.
 The ladies made the occasion home- like by their kindly service, which the fellows fully appreciated.
 General Secretary Edwin Hill of tel local "Y" gave brief address on the subject of heroes; he said in part: This is day of heroes, and heroic deeds. Washington was a great hero for our country. and we must not for get his brave soldiers who followed him barefoot in the snow; these were real heroes.
 Lincoln is a hero we like to think of. He paid the supreme price of his life blood for the accomplishment of his great purpose to free the black race, and during my residence in the south I heard the old time negroes speak with great reverence of "Marse Lincoln" He died heroically for his country.
 Lafayette, the hero, the first Euro pean to draw his sword in behalf of | America, was a man to be honored l and is honored by us all, and the l present war has made stronger the ] bonds between France and America
 Father Daimen. the Catholic priest was a hero; when he determined te go to minister to the leper colony his l friends begged him not to go, but he needed the call of God rather than | the entreaty of his friends. He went | he labored for the lepers and con- tracted lepresy and died with them He made the supreme sacrifice and thus became a hero Two men, strangers, riding on the train recently and occupying the same seat were attracted by huge Arneri can flag made by electric lights. I was very attractive in the darkness ol 1 the night.

 Yes, men. He, the Son of God, mad a great sacrifice for you and me, an, we will all do our best to prove wor thy of his sacrifice. You in the rank

THREE AUTO SMASHES NEAR CITY

up and ran away. It was caught af- ter short run, and whether it is in jured or not had not been learned on
 Sunday night.
 Christiansen was returning to the
 city at the time and it is claimed that
 the Thumm wagon was struck when
 it had gone far to one side of the
 road to avoid the automobile which
 was coming in the opposite direction. Christiansen was enveloped in the
 wreckage Of the wagon and sustained
 long cut on the top of his head which it took four stitches to close when he was treated by Dr. J. J.
 Donohue after he had been brought to this city in the automobile of D. De-
 nais of Taftville. The wagon was by the side of the road on Sunday. New York Car Drove of. Bernard J. Mcclure of Winsted made complaint to the police Sunday
 night that his automobile had been
 run into and badly damaged at Tan, tic about 6.3Q in the evening by a car
 with a New York registration number, whose driver halted for only mo- ment and then drove away without waiting to see what damage had been done. Mcclure got the number and the car will be located by the police, it is probable.
 The Winsted man said he was ap- preaching this city and was on the right hand side of the trolley tracks after crossing them at Yantic, when the New York car came along from the opposite direction and suddenly turned diagonally across the tracks and ran into him. He had brought his car to stop when it was hit | The radiator was smashed and other damage done to the forward part ot
 the car. The New York auto, he said stopped only long enough to get loose from the tangle and then drove away

WHY CHILDREN SHOULD
 ATTEND PARISH SCHOOL

Annoncing that the parish school would opeI Wednesday following a special mass at S.45 in the church, to be attended by the pupils and offered to invoke Gods blessing on them. and on their work during the coming year, Rev. Myies P. Calvin, for i've years principal of St. Patrick's School preached on the topic of Christian Ed ucation. at the 10.So mass in the ehuTch Sunday.
 Father Galvin's text was the ques-- tion from the Cateehisn1, Why did God make you ?" and the answer, ITO know, love, and serve Him here on earth and to be happy with Him for ever in Heaven" The cause. then for mans existence is to be fitted for an enjoyment of eternity with his rnak- | CT, as reward of loving and serv- | ing Him through an earthly career; and this loving and serving will be | imperfect unless man knows God properly.
 Such knowledge should begin in early life; hence the child should be instructed concerning the Almighty and His attributes, which responsibil- ] fty rests primarily upon the child's parents. However, many parents fail to inpart this religious teaching and | rable of SC doing, others because too busy. others again through careless ness or lack of good will. For these reasons the Catholic church has as- sun1ed what should be the responsi- bility Of the parent, and in parish schools where children are instructed land instructed weIl-in secular sub jec4s, carries on with equal thorough ness systematic daily teaching of the subject of religion. that pupils may attain that requisite knowledge of God and of that worship of Him which | constitutes religion.
 Father Calvin mentioned the ad- vantages which made such system
 of teaching and training real priv ilege, and explained the mistake oi
 parents who continue to send their children to n-CatIolic schools, oft entimes from trivial and absurd req sons. There can be but two legitimate
 excuses for on-attendanee of chil-
 dren at the parish school, he said, dis
 tance, and i'll health.
 The priests of the parish, the Cath.
 olic church God Himself, desire tht
 growing child to have regular. sys
 tematic, thorough religious teaching
 that he may be fitted to grow III
 firm in his faith to live the life of ;
 good Christian, Catholic citizen, for
 tified to resist temptation. For thes, weighty reasons the preacher express
 ed the hope that the children of tn
 parish of school age would be at tn
 church to begin the term punctua1l,
 Wednesday morning; and he mad Eplain to parents their responsibility il ; this matter of seeing to it that thei . children's souls, as well as minds were developed along lines which con stitute what is th.~ system of perfec f education, in which the spiritual 1 not neglected for the purely materia , and mental

HOW YOU MAY SEND
 PARCELS TO SOLDIERS

The Norwich post office has secured information relating to the sending of parcels to the soldiers overseas. It says: Any persons in this country re- eeiving 6 request from any soldier from overseas, to send him an article must be sure that the request has been signed by a major or some other off, cer of higher rank. When articles are received at the local post office for shipment across the water each one must be opened by the superintendent, who will find enclosed the request sent by soldier. or the article will be returned to the sender. This rule is enforced to relieve the congested mail centers. This does not apply to sail ors or to soldiers in training camps in this country.
