OUR NEWTOWN
 NEWS LETTER
Especial to The Tinles)

Newtown, April 17-Urder the administration of President Cole, Newtown Country club, which has an Is hole golf course, offers it's facilt- ties to the golfers of Fairfield coun- ty. The club is a mere jaunt from Bridgeport, and Bridgeport golfers will be especially welcome to the membership of the club.
 Resolutions were prepared by Pres ident Cole, and adopted by the club as follows:
 "One year ago We sat here assimil- ating cheerfuIness but under a war cloud that has since. proven to have had a silver lining and tonight our good cheer is genuine. The war is over and we are joyful in anticipa ton of the return of our soldier and sailor boys from lover there.'
 Tt seems eminently proper that this body should be the medium through which to voice the feelings and express the sentiments of our tcwnspeople who themselves have proven to be 100 per cent pure in patriotic spirit. We want to do hon. or to our young men who have done their bit and are returning modestly and quietly dropping back into peace 4ul pursuits l<-I us 1Iiiu ways dlIO means of extending the glad hand to these splendid fellows.
 Tt is difficult to give adequate ex- pression by word or act to fully show how proud we are of our gallant sol d:er and sailor boys and our gIadness in having them home again. As a simple token of esteem be it resolved that the members on the Newtown honor roll on the Town hall be and are hereby elected honorary members Of the Newtown Country club to en- joy the freedom of the club house. grounds and equipment with all it's privileges during the Victory year of 1919 and in this action let it be fur ther manifest by our affable demeanor toward these valorous sons of New town that there is no place like kome"
 Speaking of the club and it's fu- ture President Cole said:
 ''The Newtown Country club is a war baby. Its growth has been somewhat stunted by war conditions so that even now it is not beyond the nursing bottle stage of its existence but a husky kid nevertheless. It has absorbed $20, 900 worth of realty pap administered by it's nursa, the Newtown Country Club Realty Cor poration. It has been nursed without spirits numenti.' At it's inception the 18th hole was really a holy of holies.' The nineteenth hole went dry at the beginning, is dry and destined now to remain dry by constitutional amend ment.
 The club has been locally self contained. We must broaden out now that we have emerged from the trying times of the recent past. We must throw open our doors hospi- tably and send out a hearty welcome call to our out-of-t town r reighbors and friends and make the heaven kissed hills of the Newtown Country club the Mecca of Fairfield county.
 Let us send out a cordial invita- ton through the courtesy of the press and appoint every out of town mem Der on a committee to invite and per suade our reighbors to Iraternize. Picture to our nearby friends the joy of a run over to Newtown, 1S holes play, a snack at the club house, the evening trip home and then the col lection of a dividend on the Prefer red Stock of Good Health, Good Cheer and Company
