Judge Nelson P. Brown gave a hearing at Pittsfield, Mass, Monday in the equity case of Ralph T. Far mum of Canaan against Eugene A.. Benjamin of Stockbridge and Thomas F.

MADAME PoURTET's LECTURE
Makes a Touching Appeal for Child
 rem in the City

Madame Pourtet gave very in- teresting and suggestive talk at the Methodist church last Thursday evening in behalf of the summer outing of the poor children from the slGms of New York. She made a 5trcng and touching appeal. to the people of Canaan to give these poor children a glimpse of the country and real home life. Previously the Tribune Fresh Air Fund has sent out 10000 children during a summer season but this year they wish to send out 25,000 as the conditions on the East Side are worse than ever owing to the existing war.
 Helping these children is not only a charitable act but also a patriotic one as they will some day be our law makers and it is surprising how liv- ing for only two weeks under favor able conditions may influence and elevate child's entire life. If one feels that they cannot take a child, contributions of money to board them will be very acceptable. A full report of the canvas of the town will be given next week.

SNAP SHOT LEAGUE IS
 BEING FORMED HERE
Members Will Send Pictures of Home to Local Men in the
 Service

Snap shots from home are one of the best ways of sending cheer to our men in France or in camp. Letters sparkle with real joy when they enclose a picture os the home scenes, showing the things that were familiar or something that is new. Many of the kodaks in Canaan are slackers in respect to this good cheer war-service that may be so helpful in keeping up the spirits of our fifty three men.
 A league is to be formed here to send "Snapshots-from-home" regu- larly to our soldiers and sailors. The members will receive help in the way of suggestions as to how best to take pictures and also in the method of doing the developing and printing work themselves, to reduce the ex- pense. Those interested in joining such a league and who wish to enlist their cameras and themselves in a very practical and pleasurable war service, are invited to meet MT. Tim berlake at the Exemption Board office on Thursday evening at half past seven.
 So far as is known, no other com munity in this country has such an organization. Let us in Canaan take the lead in this matter also, and hearten our boys with these picture messages which more deeply stir the feelings than any written word. So shall we strengthen the bond between them and ourselves at home.
