FRED FRISWELL TELLS
 THRILL IN AIR STIINTc

Fred A. FrisweH of 27 Franklin street, who is in the aviation service at Carlstrom Field, ArA }6ia. Florida. has experienced all the fancy flying stunts that the air pilots indulge iH,
 He writes the following letter to The Bulletin:
 Just a few lines to let you hear from a Norwich boy who is marooned in the wilds of Florida at Arcadia, the last town in the country and miles from Gods country.
 We are stationed at Carlstrom field, nine miles out and where there is nothing but rattlesnakes and palmet- tos to entertain us, but we have one great field and fine officers.
 At the present time here we have any number of airplaQes under charge ot some of the best mechanics ill the country and they certainly have some mighty fine pilots and they do all the stunts that anyone would be willing to go miles to see and very few acci- dents, but we have had some serious ones. a 4 5 l have under my care two Hispano ships carrying two passengers and they are very intricate machines and powerful and am accustomed to make flights in same averaging in height from 2000 to 1000 feet and it is very interesting.
 In one of my flights the other day we went up 1000 feet and did combat work, that is, we were the attacking ship and had to fire machine guns at target lowed by another ship and I believe me of all the rollicking rides l ever had that was the one that was the toughest but I am glad to say that 1 have had all the stunts, barrel rolls side slipping, the loop and the nose l dive and certainly enjoyed them | Today LincGTns birthday. | had the honor of being on a detail in camI
 when Major Petersen, our comman- 1 Ger, and an American ace, received his l distinguished service cross and oak
 leaf for heroic work on the other side and it is one thing that I will always remember
 Hoping that in the near future I vii 1 be in that dear little city, Norwich up i'll Gods country. I will close wftE 1 best regards, from

NORWICH TOWN

Garfield, member of the graduating class of Yale Theo- logical seminary, preached at the First Congregational church Sunday morning, taking for his text Ezekiel S:-12; Son of man hast thou seen what the elders of Israel do in the darkness in their chambers of imag- cry? There is an inner chamber in your heart and in mine he stated. Reputation may often be very diff ferent thing from the true character. Our actions day by day are painted on the walls of our heart. Let the purifying light of God enter our hearts and all will be cleansed. The truth with Gods sunshine upon it will then take root and grow ill our hearts, un- til we shall be more worthy Chris tians. We can be more than just peo- DIe. we can be servants of the living God. so that His light shall shine, not only into our hearts, but unto the hearts of all about us.

TAFTVILLE

The Has Beens" dance held in the Ponamah hall Friday, St Valentines night was a big success. There were about four hundred in attendance. Old as well as young entered into the splf- it of the evening and belied the title under which the dance was held For in reality it was a has beensF dahce in name only. Sixty and sixteen couid hardly distinguish from each other Il enc were to judge by the enthusiasm with which each entered into the eve ning's revelry. The celebrated Scot land Road symphony Orchestra fur nished the music and upon an espec- ialIv constructed throne His Royal Highness Professor Tinkham, regally directed the syncopatlons of the youthful terpsichoreanites-
 The hall was tastefully and artis- ticaIly decorated with flags aud Jap anese lanterns and the whole with the unique lighting effects produced by "BilF' Chamberlain lent decidedly oriental atmosphere to the scene. However, with the flrst enlIyenlng notes of a genuine old fashioned New England jig the dreamy eastern at rlosphere soon vanished and when Professor Tinkham's sonorous voice announced Salute your partners" ths dance took on purely occidental air and continued to be a joyous and merry gathering until the tired and aching feet of the dancers and the fact that the hands of the clock were rapidly nearing 12 warned the happy gathering that a very pleasant and enjoyable evening was nearing it's close.
 The committee in charge or the ar arrangements were: Jack" Sharples, 'BilP' Chamberlain, "HI' Frohmander, Billy Kendall and 'fWoody.'
