 ''I am sure that it was not the sol dierS who did the work. The soldiers were extremely grateful to us for tar work we have been doing.

 MT. Elmendorf, who Is general sec retary of the local Y. M. c. A.. has held the office as Americanization agent in this city for the past year, having been selected as the man for the position by the Industrial Board of the mills of the city. When the state offered to pay part of the sal ary of the Americanization agent if the man was appointed by the school board of the town, and approved of name was mentioned and he was ches- en for the position by the local town school board. Whether the story that has been spread about as to his not being a citizen is the work of some one who delights in making trouble, or had it's origin simply from the fact that MT. Elmendorf had not become a voter in Willimantic since coming here is the question that remains to be answered. and many local people believe that the last named cause gave foundation to the story.
 WiIlimantic dancers will soon be do- ing the old fashioned waltz and lanc- iers. was the statement of one young man. after he had read that certain organization in the city was to inves- tigaie the present style of dancing and make an endeavor to put a stop to the new steps if 1t was deemd safer for local morals. Others more pessi- lnlstic than the first speaker, said, Well, they've taken away booze, and now they're trying to take away danc- ing and tobacco. Oh, why didn't the world come to end December IT" Some of the party claimed that it would be a good thing if those shim- mey dances were stopped. Dancing, however, is not alone in disfavor with the organization. as the committee has been instructed to better the condi- tions, in the city still more by stop ping the display of full size and sug- geutive pictures sent out in advance of certain shows.

had learned Director Deming imnne- diately issued a statemet that his de-
 partment would not hold up the ap-
 polntment of Mir. Elmendorf5 simply because he was not voter in Willi-
 mantle but if he was an alien he would by no means be appointed. Di- rector Deming then wrote a letter to MT. Elmendorf stating the case as he had learned it and asking for facts. Mr. Elmendorf replied by return mail.
 When questioned about the article as printed in the Hartford paper, MT. Elmendorf claimed that it was too frivolous, too silly to require any ex- planation. He went on to say that he could not see why any person or persons in the city of Willimantic should be so low down as to issue such a statement when there was ab- solutely no truth in 1t whatsoever. In answer to the statement that he had been in willimantic for three years and had not been made a voter he claimed this was another mis-state- ment as he had only been here for two years. As to his being an alien Mir. Elmendorf stated that he was born and brought up in New York city and his ancestors had lived in this country since Revolutionary days. He stated that before coming to the state of Connecticut he was legal voter in the state of New Jersey and prior to that he was a voter in the city of Derby. Friday afternoon MT. Elmen- dorf got in touch with Director Dem ing by telephone and it was then that he learned how the story had started. Director Deming denied all responsi- bility for the statement and later Mir. Elmendorf endeavored to find the re- porter who had written the story, but he was unabe to do so. An en- deavor will be made to find out who it was who started the story and un-
 til then Mir. Elmendorf stated he would demand an apology from the papers who had printed the story which vas
