not been heard from yet.
Last year the boys raised enough
food to feed one million people for
che year Between seventy and
eighty boys from the Academy work
ed last summer on farms. Il was
| necessary for some to leave before
the close of school. they were Gwen

REORGANIZATION TO COMBAT Dol SH|EE:lV||IIKII!!

Methods of Americanization of our
foreign speaking population, in which
the first step is to be the teaching
OF the English language through the
medium of afternoon and evening
schools, for both men and women,
were explained to the Americanization
committee of the town by Herbert r.
Branche, deputy of the state Ameri-
canlzation service, at a meeting held
on Monday evening in the Chamber
tof Commerce rooms. There was an
attendance of about so of which ten
were members of the women's COM
mittee Of which Miss Elizabeth Hun
tington is chairman
Thomas II. Beckley, chairman Of the
mems committee called the meeting
| to order shortly after O'Clock and
after a few Introductory words as TO
purpose OF the meeting asked for the
| election OF a permanent chairman.
| Mayor j. J.. Desmond was unani-
| motlsly elected on motion of John NJ
| Lee and Mr.. Beckley was elected sec
rotary on motion of William Fitz-
gerald
| Mr.. Branche opened his subject by
| stating that since 1870 twenty million
| foreign born had come to this country
and the problem was to an1algarnate
| these into our citizenship. At first
when the foreign speaking people went
| chiefly into agricultural pursuits they
| had been assimmilated more readily
| but the growth of big industrial en-
! terprises whole communities had beer
established which kept to their OWE
| languages and the ideas and customs
of their home lands and it was ir
such communities that the seeds OF
| Bolshevism were sown. Bolshevisn
| is the end of civilization.
/ By the census of 1910 there were
32S,759 foreign born in Connecticut
! 100000 of these were wage earners
who with their children number ST.
SIT souls. Fifty per cent, Of tht
states population at that time was
foreign born. These make our prob.
lem.
Mr.. Branche went on to say tina
there was both the Americanizatio1
of the Americans and the Americana
cation of the foreign-born to be &C
coInplished. The committee sheult
consist of about so persons, ant
should include representative clergy
men, the town clerk, a Representative,
doctor a library representative, lead
era Tor racial groups, the first select
man, a member of the school board
and a number of women.
One of the first things to be don

REQUIRE NOTICE BEFORE
CASTING w. S. CERTIFICATES

The way war savings certificates
are being traded in and presented for
cashing at the Norwich post office
durinS the past few weeks leads
Postmaster John P. Murphy TO pro-
pound the inquiry whether Norwich
Patriotism is Eetering out or whether
it is an indication of desperate need
Of money on the part ,of families or
Individuals. Did all our patriotic pur-
pose to help the government die with
the signing of the armistice?
These small amounts represented
bY thrift stamps and war savings Ger
tifcates We're supposedly loaned to
tine government for a term of five
years, but the government consid
cred the people honest and patriotic
enough so that it promised 10 cash
the certificates for those who might
find it absolutely necessary to have
the money.
From many indications, however, it
is evident to the local post Office au-
thorities thai these certificates are
battered and traded in with rler-
chanst and others. Possibly the ORR
glnai purchasers, when giving them
in payment for goods, did not thinl;
they would be csslleJ in so soon, but
this cashing in practice is very no.
| ticeable.
On account Of this the ten days

would show what the real problems
were. Next would be to get them into
night schools through pulpit announce
ments, circulars, house to house work
and public speakers. The women
could start afternoon classes to teach
the women the English language III

Mr.. Branche said he could promise
a speaker for a bis mass meeting,
which he advised ought to be held,
and later i'll the meeting the propo-
sition Of q mass meeting was favor
ably acted upon and the plans and
date for it left with the chairman and
secretary to arrange.
William Fitzgerald speaking as a
wage Garner said that we have got to
start with the AmericaniZation of the
Americans, referring especially t. the
employer Of labor Toe often the
ingman and we shall not make much
progress until we get the employer tc
do away with that condition. I'M
employment and discomfort are what
Bolshevism springs from, he said.

ham asked if it would be possible &c
I Go anything towards the education OF

! plan was being followed in Water
bury. which he proposed to learn more
about so that he could make It avail
Fable for other communities.
| Mayor Desmond closed the meeting
with ringing speech in which hi
said the AmericaniZation means wha
the right thinking people of this
country regard as the true, sane spiri
OF the nation. In this world ther,
are just two classes of people thos'
who are desirable and those who ar
not. What has brought this nation tt
! a position of world leadership is TIN
strong, conscientious, well directed eff
fort of able leaders and good citizens
/ characterization means the RICH
type of citizen, whether he was bori
! in Connecticut or Italy or Poland o
Russia. Americanization means alb
solute justice and we have no to1era
ton for the spirit that would divid
us into classes arrayed against eacl
other. We must avoid any spirit tina
would tend to create cleaVages in an
direction. The person inspired by tn
/ true fundamental ideas of right liv
ing is q good American, whether
citizen by birth or adoption. W
should also recognize that we hav
a number among us of those Of Arneri
can birth, who, however, need som
instruction in Americanization.

mentS.

M. Marx, the we'll known Col.
umbia street merchant, is making
improvements on his business
block which will cost about $4,000
when completed and will give his

is the intention of Mr., Marx to
use the second floor as a display
room for farming implements,
buggies, etc. An elevator will be
installed and every convenience
will be had. The additional room
will give the store an opportunity
of displaying the stock which is
one of the largest of its kind in
the State, outside of New Orleans.
Another big Improvement on
Columbia steeet property are the
| improvements which are being
made at the Berenson Bros. store
A new front, with an arcade is
