WINDHAM COUNTY NAT. BANK
 VOTES S15o TO RED CROSS
Generosity of Directors. Who Have Supplied Workrooms Free During Season.

At the regular directors meeting of the Windham County National bank Saturday the directors voted a con- trihution of one hundred and fifty dollars to the Red Cross War Fund In addition to this, the WindTnm County National Bank has donated for the past year free of expense the use of the Red Cross rooms in the National Bank building. The rooms are the best office rooms in the borough of Danie1son, and in addition to giving the rent the bank also gives the heat. In consideration of the past very severe winter the item of heat is a considerable amount to be reckoned with, 50 that the donation from the National Bank in addition to cash would make a very substantial contri- button
 The directors, realizing the magnifi- l cent work being accomplished by the Red Cross organization felt it their duty in these strenuous times to con-
 tribute to and acknowledge this great l cause.

 Would Keep Teachers Salary List se-
 Some members of the town schoo'
 committee have objected within the
 past few days because the list ot
 teachers which they elected and tho
 salaries which they voted to pay have
 appeared in the public press.
 Just why any such objection shoulf
 be made. is beyond the ken of any
 taxpayer other than the himsy ex.
 planation that some other town!
 might hire the teachers away because
 the salary lise here may be lowe
 than in some other town.
 At least two members of the tow
 school committee have stated that tn
 taxpayers could wait until next Or
 tober, when the town reports are is
 sped to learn at what figures thei with teachers for 191S-1919, when tn contracts were made in May. 19lS This is a matter in which the taxpay CTS are nightly interested. They pa, the bills, and the school bills are tn ' heaviest of any department of tn town.
 . There is no inclination on the par . of any taxpayer to criticize as to tn
 efficiency of the town school commit 5 tee, or even to suggest that they ar ? not doing as well as any other nil, citizens of Killingly could do in hand : ling school affairs. for there are mer and a woman. of experience on tn . committee. The fact remains, how
 ever, that they are elected to mem
 bership on the school committee b : their fellow citizens: that they ar s discharging public duty, as agent 5 l of the town of Killingly, and that a :. such their acts as members of tn

town school committee, in whatever detail, are subject to the fullest scrutiny by any citizen and by any taxpayer sufficiently interested to know what the town does with it's money.
 Killingly is neither Germany nor Russia. The transactions of any town official ors any group of town officials is open to the public, and disputing that basic right of democracy will not accrue to the benefit of any official or officials who attempt it.
 If the town of Killingly needs a se- cret service department to make se cret agreements, as to contract secret arrangements concerning the affairs of the citizens or taxpayers, it un- doubtedly will authorize such a body in a regularly warned and called town meeting, but until that time the pub lie will consider that it has a right to know what it's servants are doing, and it will know, regardless of the whims or personal theories of any par ticular official or officials, KillingIy IS competing in the open field for teachers and if Killingly pays what teachers deserve, and they de- serve much more than they are getting in many towns, the citizens and tax payers may be depended upon not to harp over contracts made by it's ! committee But the citizens and | taxpayers have a right to know what | is being paid, and without waiting from May until Ootobef, either. And they will know since the rights they possess as sreeborn American citizens cannot be over-ridden by the fancy of any persons with autocratic tendencies.
 ChiId's Welfare League Planned.
 Under the state council of defense, a branch of the childs welfare league is to be organized in the town of Kill | lingly. Miss Miriam Boomhower. wis., | iting nurse, has accepted the duty of perfecting the organization, which will work along lines that have been fully set forth in press reports from time tc l time Miss Boomhower will seek the cooperation of parents. educators ant all who are interested in furthering 8 patriotic work in building up such ar organization as it is felt that Killingly should have in common with many towns and cities of Connecticut.

FOR RED CROSS.
Urgent and Earnest Appeals Made
 Frem Puipits Sunday.

From the pulpits of the churches of Danielson Sunday final wards tending to urge the people of this place to do their most liberal best in giving to the Red Cross drive were spoken.
 The drive opens this morning and the Danielson districts people are called upon to give $5.00o for the cam- pain which closes next Saturday night. This means that there must be liberal giving from the rich and liberal giv- ing from the poor, both in proportion to their world goods.
 Sundays urgent appeals brought out vividly the wonderful work of mercy that the Red Cross is performing wherever soldiers fight and fall, and the work, increased by many fold, that they will be able to do if every man woman and child gives in proportion to what he or she possess.
