Preceding the dance the Home
Guard was reviewed by Major John
M. Brooks of Torrington, in company

remarks before the assemblage en-
tered the hall. The assemblage en-
tered the hall and listened with wrapt
attention to Major Brooks address
to the Home Guard, in which he di-
lated upon the duty of every man,
whether soldier or civilian, to serve
his country, no matter in what capac-
ity, felicitating Capt. Walter Stone
of the Home Guard upon the repre-
sentation made.
Then began the dancing-round
and square, one-step, two-step and
"any-old step''-so long as one
danced and was merry-and plenty of
it, deep into the wee small hours of

ness and comeraderic permeated
the hall and everyone went home
with the realization that he or she
had a good time, while contributing
to worthy and patriotic cause.
Almost all the work connected
with the affair was voluntary, and in
consequence a goodly percentage of
the receipts will go toward the pole
and war-welfare work.

Patriotic Dance

To one who has been abroad their
is no more inspiring sight than to
see, waving aloft in the gentle aut-
umn breeze, the emblem which thrills
the true American and instinctively
causes him to raise his hat-the Stars
and Stripes. To those who have not
been in foreign lands the emotion
created by the sight of the flag there
is unknown, save that at home he
knows that it stands for all that has
made this the land of the brave and
the free-the home of democracy.
And so it should be that every city,
town or hamlet should encourage that
love and veneration for the flag that
is the protection and guide for it's
citizens.
Falls Village truly realizes this,
and with this in mind some weeks
ago held dance for the purpose of
purchasing a fag-a most pro-
nounced success it was, too, as all
who attended will testify. The pro-
ceeds of that affair were expended
for the flag and the balance was
given to the local branch of the Red
Cross. Then arose the question of a
flag pole-one that would be worthy
of the flag and enduring. Knowing
tthe iberality of the people here
about, another dance was .contem-
plated, in order that boGh pleasur-
able and practical purposes might
be combined. Hence, DR.. Skiff-
always formost in all that tends tc
the betterment of Falls Village
