The welcome home banquet of the Wheel club at the town hall on Thurs
 day evening was an event of the first
 magnitude and long to be remen- bered by those who participated. Over 50 service men, members of the club, were present, one table nearly the length of the hall being devoted to them. John Fohre, president of the club, made the address of welcome and well expressed the sentiments of
 the hour Judge Omar W. Platt, who is constantly acquiring merit as a toastmaster, acted again in that ca pacity and found it an easy task with such spontaneous material under his direction. Arthur Platt spoke of the origin of the Wheel club, and James Rose followed swith an address on it's place and ideals, both speeches being | 8 decided interest. and was heartily app1auded.
 There was only one mind regarding the particulars of the banquet, and expressions of entire satisfaction at it's conclusion were many. Mrs. Wal 1 ter Marooney of Fort Trumbu1 Beack 1 had entire charge of it, and the re- suit of her energy and skill was i something to marvel at.
 In behalf of the service men, and 1 responding to President Foehr, Edwin 1 Munson (military titles were not al- | lowed) made a neat address, express 1 ing the qualification felt by those who | had been in field and camp and sep 1 arated from friends to find themselves | once more amid the old surroundings i in the home town.
