CONFERENCE ON
 NEAR EAST RELIEF
Many Workers Gathered at Hartford Last
 Week

For five years the Near East Re- lief has been endeavoring to save from starvation and extermination the Christian peoples of the Near East, it's aid having been extended without exception as to race or creed.
 When the work started there were 6OO,OOO of these sufferers. Today there are 100000, almost all ch1l- dren, who must be carried through the winter. In addition to the 'imp- lest of life-sustaining food, there must be some sort of clothing and inasmuch as fully 80 per cent are orphans, these kiddies must be cared for within orphanages.
 It is wonderful accomplishment, one of which America may well be proud, that in the five years 400, ,OOO of these victims of the war monster and the Turk have been placed upon at least a semblance of economic self-support.
 How are the remaining 100000 to be carried over until the next liar vest? To find the answer to this kuestion and to devise ways and means of making the answer come true, was the purpose of the meeting last Thursday. Workers prominent in and familiar with the five years work that has been done, people who have just returned from the actual scenes of this relief work, gave first hand information as to conditions there and the great need.
 Those who attended the confer ence from this vicinity are: Mrs. Joseph L. Parsons, Mrs. Jerome G. Root, Canaan; Miss filling, East Canaan, and Miss Dora Heinz, Falls Village.
 While pins are not yet complete, it is hoped to hold a drive for funds for these starving people in the Near East some time in December.

Salisbury Defeats Torrington

The Torrington high school foot ball team was defeated by the Sails bury school eleven in Salisbury Sat urday by the score of 28 to o. The game was played in a drizzle, and the superior weight of the Salisbury players gave them big advantage over Torrington, as the locals could not get in their open plays because of the soft gridiron.
 Straight football beat the Torring- ton students. and accounted for a touchdown and goal in the first quar- ter, a touchdown, goal and safety in the second quarter, and a touch down in each of the third and fourth quarters. The safety in the third period came when Gisselbrecht made poor pass to Capt. Hogan, who was tackled and downed back of his own goal line by the opposition.
 Coach Tracey w. Carey says the Torrington students played a plucky game with the odds so pronounced against them. He classes Salisbury school with Taft and Hotchkiss, the average weight of the whole eleven being 153 pounds. The backfeld was very fast, each of the players having had two years experience with the team.
