ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL
 COMMITTEE ORGANIZED
Wm. F. Prendergast of New York to Speak
 Here

The committee for Canaan for the Roosevelt Memorial Association have organized and Chairman Herbst has appointed the following committee Vice Chairman, Bert J. Stratton ot East Canaan, Dr. J. c. Adam, Harry Waller, Wm. M. Teague, G. W. Par sons, H. E. Lyles, W. s. Smart Treasurer, H. A. Holt, Asst. Treas A. W. Krouse, Secretary, Catherine Finnegan, Assistant Secretary for East Canaan.
 MT. Teague has charge of the pro- gram for the schools for the week of October 20, details of which will be announced later.
 On Sunday, October 26, Memorial services will be held at the Town Hall, to which all the people of Ca naan are invited. The program will provide appropriate music in the form of solos and sacred numbers. The principal address will be made by Wm. F. Prendergast, formerly comp troller of the city of New York. MT. Prendergast was an intimate friend of Theodore Roosevelt and was the most active partisan of his in his New York political battles. MT. Prendergast is the Roosevelt type of American and is properly called a silver tongue orator. Canaan is fortunate in having been able to secure this gentleman for this me morable tribute to the memory of the late Col. Roosevelt. The chair man of the committee has designated Judge Roraback, Ex-State Treasurer Roberts and MT. Lindell as Honorary Vice Presidents for the Memorial meeting.
 The entire work of the committee is non-partisan and is planned on the fundamental principals of Roosevelt for Americanism. A membership in the Association is open to every man, woman and child and is an honor worthy the seeking.
 Ex President Wm. H. Taft is chair man of the Connecticut State Branch of the Roosevelt Memorial Associa- ton and sincerely urges the hearty cooperation of all. North Canaan has never failed to Ego over the top" in every public or patriotic campaign and the committee have given assurances to the Association that the membership from this town will be the, banner one in the state of Connecticut.
 Secretary Krouse is prepared to explain the purposes of the Associa- tion and will be pleased to distribute literature to all interested. The office of the committee will be at The Canaan Printing Company.

"POLLYANNA"
Impersonations by Marion Hertha
 Clarke, Nov. 6

The ladies of Christ church are planning series of entertainments the coming winter, the first of which will be "Pollyanna" a dramatization of one of Eleanor Porter's stories, which will be held on November 9th. Miss Marion Hertha Clarke is the entertainer and her reputation made her name familiar throughout the country.
 Pollyanna is no preachment. It is a glorious message of hope and joy and optimism. It is human, amusing and inspiring. The brave girl who shows the world how to play the "Glad Game" is a positive delight. She takes the creak out of the hinges of life and those who have learned to love her between the pages of a book will be rejoiced to see her in flesh and blood.

INSPECT MAMMOTH
 DAM AND RESERVOIR
Editors to be Guest of The Connecticut Light and
 Powe- Company

The members of the Connecticut Editorial Association, and many other newspaper executives and editors of the state are planning for an interesting days outing on Satur- day, when they will go to Stevenson for an inspection of the dam and reservoir of the Connecticut Light and Power Company. The Editorial Association will hold it's annual meet ing in Derby following the trip to the dam. While at the dam, the news papermen will have luncheon at which Governor Holcomb will be present. The governor will be a member of the party throughout the trip.
 The mammoth dam and power plant at Stevenson, between Monroe anda Oxford, about seven miles above Derby, is the biggest engineering feat ever attempted in the state, and is now in the process of completion. It will be the largest dam of its kind in New England.
 The dam itself is 125 feet high, and from one bank of the Housatonic to the other, it measures nearly a quar- ter mile. 155,000 cubic yards of concrete have already been used in the dam, which is 81 feet in width at its base. Across the crest of the dam, 20 feet above the structure, a concrete highway bridge is being completed, 23 feet wide, which will connect the roadways on either side of the river.
 Work is not yet completed at Stevenson, so it will be possible for the newspapermen to witness the dam in construction. Locomotives haul ing cars about the plant, concrete mixers, steam shovels, derricks, pumps, carpenter shop, machine shop, labratory, the workmen's living and dining quarters, engineers quarters, hospital, and other buildings will prove interesting to the visitors. The power plant, with its big 10000 H. P. generators will also be spot of con- siderable interest.
 Tn the tour of the reservoir be- hind the dam, the newspapermen will visit part of the drainage area. When the reservoir is filled the water will be backed up for over ten miles, and will contain one and one-half billion cubic feet of water.
 The Stevenson development should prove a big economic factor in the states industrial life, for by the use of this water power thousands of tons of coal will be released monthly to other industries of the state.
 The newspapermen will meet at the Hotel Clark in Derby on Satur- day, at 11:30, and at 12 they will start in automb bbiles for the dam. Luncheon will be served, after which a tour of the dam, power house and reservoir will be made, the party to Derby at o'clock. Practically all the prominent news of the state have indicated they will be present as guests of the officials of the Connecticut Light and Power Company.

SOLDIER INSURANCE
No Compensation for Death One
 Year After Discharge

The Bureau of War Risk Insurance wishes to emphasize the importance to service men of one of the provi- sions of the War Risk Insurance Act upon the fulfllment of which may depend the validity of their claim to compensation under the Act.
 The War Risk Insurance Act pro- vides that "No Compensation shall be payable for death CT disability which does not occur prior to or within one year after discharge or resignation from the service, except that where, after medical examination made pursuant to regulations, at the time of discharge or resignation from the service, or within such reasonable time thereafter, not exceeding one year, as may be allowed by regula- tions, certificate has been obtained from the director to the effect that the injured person at the time of his discharge or resignation was suffer- ing from injury likely to result in death or disability"
 Many discharged men are not familiar with or are inclined to dis regard this provision of law and are allowing their rights hereunder to lapse. Request for the certificate mentioned above should be made to the Chief Medical Advisor, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington, D. c.
