LOCAL JEWS WILL
 HOLD ELECTION
ZiOniStS to Cast Votes to Choose
 Convention Delegates

Morris C,obn chairman of the Zion ist district of New Britain, announced today that the Jewish comm unity ol this citv is to be asked to join with tba Jewish communities in about 35O cities throughout the country in a national election day on June 29 to cboosa de1egates to the 22d annual convention of the Zionist Organlza- tion of America. The conVentloh' aI which at least 1, ,5OO delegates are eX- pected, will be held in Chicago. ana though the date has not yet been deh- nitely fixed, it will most likely De Ill session during an entire week, includ- ing Labor Day. On the basis or pres ent membership in the Zionist orga- nization, the Jews of this city are en- titled to two delegates.
 The voting will be at public polling places, open all day to all who have registered in advance, and 1t IS an- ticipated that this national election will be a striking demonstration that the majority of adult Jews of this country strongly favor a Jewish com monwealth in Palestine. Over 1900 adult Jews in this country are al ready registered for the ensuing cleo tion by virtue of membership in the Zionist organiZatio and a campaign has been launched to bring this regis trattion up to at least a quarter of a million, each 100 registrants, or mem- bers of the organization, being en- titled to elect one delegate. The Zionist district of New Britain num- bers 450 members, but by the time the elections are held it is expected that the local membership will be increased at least 25 per cent. Plans have also been perfected to enable registrants in towns where there are less than 50 Jewish families to join with a neighboring small community in the election of a delegate.
 Due in a large measure to the for tunes of war, the Zionist Organiza- ton of America has gained a con- trolling influence in the world Zion ist organization, and the decisions of the international Zionist congress, which is planned for early next year, will be swayed by the resolutions adopted by the American branch of the movement. The voters will be asked not only to choose delegates. but to participate in a referendum regarding the progressive policy adopted at the convention held in Pittsburgh last June with reference to the ownership of land and public utilities and the control of industry, commerce and finance. A campaign of education touching on these vital features of the Jewish comm onwea lth l will be carried on intensively all sum- mer.
 A number of sectional conferences of delegates will be held in order to c1arify and determine Zionist opinion in advance of the convention. These will be called during July and August in Boston, Cleveland. Louisville, New Orleans, Minneapolis and San Fran cisco.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
 SING AT MONUMENT
Impressive Memorial Day Exercises Held By Grammar School Pupils
 This Morning

Impressive Memorial Day exercises were carried out by the pupils of the Prevocational Grammar school at the Soldiers Monument on Main street this morning. The children marched from the school building to the green headed by the Boy Scouts band.
 The program was opened by the singing of "America." A wreath was placed upon the monument by W'illar- eth Juengst, president of the Civic league of the school.
 Rev. Henry w. Maier. pastor of the First Church of Christ, made the principal address. He told the chill dren of reverence and gratitude that should be shown the Grand Army Vet erans. He said that men of 1917 fol- lowed the same principles for which the veterans offered their lives in the previous wars. The monument, he concluded, Is living symbol for what the men died for, and the institutions for which they gave ther lives shall be preserved forever.
 Professor George B. Matthews led the children in the singing of the ''Star Spangled Banner"
 At the conclusion of the progra m the children marched back to. the school, with "Old Glory' and the Pre- vocational Grammar school banners thrown to the breeze.
