| A dance will be conducted in Red Mems hall Friday evening November 19.
 The Springs Grammar School bas- ket ball team and The Lucky Five, team made up of boys under 15 years of age, have started five game series, two of which have been played already, both being taken by the Lucky Five. In the first game which was played in the Stafford Boys Club week ago Monday, the score was 16 to g. The score in Monday evenings game was 23 to 14. The last game was the better one and drew a sur prising number of people to the club, enough so that each team actually has treasury now. The next battle will be staged Monday evening. The line up for both games was the same ex- cept that Donald Eaton was one of the forwards for the s. G. S., team in the first game. It follows:

 The following is from the Nauga- tuck Daily News of November Sd:
 "Naugatuck did something out of the ordinary yesterday when it elected a woman as one of its representatives in the general assembly. Miss Emily Sophie Brown, to whom that honor was accorded, Is a person who is worthy of 1t in every way and who is we'll qualified to represent this bor- ough in the legislature. Her charac- ter is of the finest, and she has heart that beats for all humanity. She Is progressive in her ideas, we'll inform ed upon important questions of the day, knows the needs of Naugatuck and has the ability to stand up and speak for them whenever occasion | demands. She has a genial likable personality. and if she were of the male gender it would be quite the proper thing to speak of her as a good fellow" Without intending any disrespect to her or her sex we would like to call her that anyway, as it aptly expresses what we wish to convey. Miss Brown is held in the highest esteem by all who know her and we can say without fear of con- tradictiOn that in the next general assembly of Connecticut there will be no member of higher ideals or greater sincerity of purpose than Emily Sophie Brown, who with the Hon. Harry H. Schofield, we'll known local business man, will rep resent Naugatuck. usually a demo- cratic town"

 During the last political mix-up there was heard in certain quarters about town a rumor that WAS quoted and reIuoted to the eff."r that Strazza Post was"out" to elect political can didate. The election has already prov en this fallacy but for the benefit of any doubtful minds it may be said that the American Legion is a non- political organization. In accord with | constitutional rights any individual may have his own choice and so state, yet the Legion as a body will not and under the only charter granted by the President of the United States cannot | support any party or any candidate thereof The only objects for which the American Legion exists are as | follows:
 | For God and Country, we associate ourselves together to uphold and de- | fend the Constitution of the United | States of America; to maintain Law and Order; to foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Americanism; to inculcate sense of individual obli- gation to the community, state and Nation; to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and good will on earth; to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion and mutual helpfulness.
 | In short the Legion's purpose is a | square deal for all ex-service men not for any political candidate or political principle.
 | Thank You.
 House Committee,
 | Strazza Post American Legion. Silas Bolieau Ralph PrOuty
