Your parents mean well: they

ADVANCE OFFICER HERE
 FOR RECRUITING WORK Recruiting Party Will Have Head quarters at Post Office
 One Week.

G. J Garrigan, chief boatswains mate, of the United States Navy. was ip town for a short time TuesGay max ing the necessary arrangements for the recruiting party which will come to this town on January 20 and stay for one week MT. GarrIgan is travel ing throughout the state in the in- terests of recruiting men fer the navy and stated that the way men are res- bonding IS very encouraging.
 Ine navy requires men in all branches Of the service, but mtre par ticularly those who have had gas en engine experience and cabinet makers fer the aerial service. Exceptional op portnnity is offered to men of ability as tradesmen as we'll as those who have no speciality, in the line of ad vancement, good pay and clean quar- ters while in service. The pay to start with ranges from $32 to $86 per month which includes board and clothing.
 If man enlists in the navy and shows that he has ability in any parti. crlar line, he is given the opportunity to take a special course of study to perfect himself. This Of course would mean that he would receive still more pay. Another feature of the life in the navy that will appeal to many, is that cleanliness is just as strictly enforced during wer time as Tn times of peace, and that men in the navy do not ex' perIence the filth in the form of vermin shat is so comm )n in the army.
 The recruiting party will cover Nor folk, Salisbury, Lakeville, Lime Rock and New Milford from this town, and any who are interested in joining the navy may secure tull information by addressing the officer in charge at this place.

Lane lifted the reptile out on the snow and killed it. The snake is said to measure about 3 feet 4 inches ir length and 2 inches in diameter MT. Lane has the snake to show any who doubt his word.

The performance of additional tasks at home and for neigh bors is suggested as 8 means for in creasing the number of stamps which are to be placed on the thrift cards.

VOL. XLVII
YOUNGEST MEMBER OF RED
 CROSS IN NORTH CANAAN
Litchfield Claims Oldest, But We Also Have Dog and Cat
 Enrolled.

We didn't intend to brag about it, though we do take considerable pride in the fact that the youngest membe- of the Red Cross, not only in North Canaan, but in the entire state. lives with her proud parents right in this community. The name of the little Miss who bears this honor js Dorothy Louise Fuller, and when but few hours old her fond papa entered her name as a member of the Red Cross
 We were satisfied to let the matter rest here. but when the editor of the Litchfield Enquirer soaght to claim this honor for Litchfield, through his editorial columns it has aroused our ire more than anything since the kaiser tried to make Mexico Christmae present of the United States Now we propose to make a clean breast of the facts so that the world may know that North Canaan has no slackers even among the felines and canines, and that Litchfield, unlike Waterbury, does not have something on everybody.
 Litchfield claims that Edwin P. Dickinson, age 97, is the oldest mem Der of the Red Cross in the state, which we will not dispute. North Ga naan unquestionably has the youngest. The parlor town also claims the dis tinction of having one "Bill" Mo Neill, & canine, as member of the Red Cross. Honors are even as North Canaan also has beautiful, shaggy Aireldale, by the name of "Pat' Brown, whose name was enrolled dur ing the recent drive. The reason that Litcfiheld must take a back seat is due to the fact that Pussy" Brown, 8 member of the cat family is also 8 member.
 We wouldn't have jumped so hard on the Litchfieid. editor 1T he had sought to confer an honor of this kind on one of his own children. but as the matter stands we feel that the fore going justifies the conditions which existed. The only fact that rsnkles is that North Canaan, as an auxiliary to Litchfield chapter, must share it's honors with our parlor town neighbors.
