ASKING NORWICH CITIZENS TO
SUPPORT ROGUE ASSOCIATION

To increase the interest in the game of
rogue as played. by the National Rogue
association, a meeting was held at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms on Friday
afternoon at which were present the twA
local officers of I've association, Treas
urer James L. Case and Secretary Ar
thur L. Peale, and many members of the
Chamber of Commerce
The meeting was to start plans for
getting 100 local memberships in the
rogue association. These memberships
are for s. each and entitle member to
free use of the rogue courts as well as
the tennis courts. There has been some
talk in years past of having the national
championship contests held in some other
city where the courts were in better con-
dition and there were more of them, and
the city was more accessible from all
points. To overcome these objections
the local courts have been put in con-
dit;on and now there are none finer or
faster in the country. The tennis courts
havet also been put into shape.
AS this has been a considerable ex-
pense, it has been deemed best to en-
large the membership in the association
and drive will be inaugurated to Sc
cure 100 new members.
The tournament plans for the national
title play are completed and entries from
all over the country are coming in. Sew
eral new players have entered. including
one from Harrisburg, Pa, and several
| from Massachusetts and other states
Secretary Peale has received a COM
munication from Lakewood, n. j., asking
about the construction of the local courts
as it is planned to put in several courts
in that city.
The national rogue championship is
the only national title that has ever beer
commended for in this city and it tends tC
bring the name of Norwich before the
country every year. This is a feature
| that Norwich cannot afford to lose, anC
| everyone should be proud to do his par
in keeping this national event in tbs
Rose Of New England.

NORWICH BOY SCOUTS
CAMP is ABOUT OVER

The two weeks camp of the Norwich
Boy Scouts at Camp Tippecan at Beach
pond is slowly DRAWN gto close. much
to the regret of the IS or 20 boys who
have been enjoying the outdoor life under
the able guidance of Scout Executive F.
A. Benton. The boys will break camp
on Monday and return home.
Although the weather has not been of
tn chest for camping the boys have en-
joyed every minute of the time in the
open. The boys have made exceptionally
good progress in scouting during their
stay. Many of them passed their wood
craft tests, swimming tests, nature
study, hiking and other things that can
be studied at first hand.
Many features have frightened the
days of the boys, such as hikes, treasure
hunts and campfres. At the campfres
there have been local speakers. including
Major Charles A. Hagberg, Dr. F. r.
Agnew and others. The camp has been a
wonderful success and plans are already
being contemplated to enlarge the camp
before another year.

BAcKUS HOSPITAL NURSES
HAVE OUTING TO BEACH

A number of the nurses of the Bac-
kus Hospital enjoyed an outing at
Ocean Beach on Friday afternoon
through the thoughtfulness and court
esy of DIR. John w. Callahan who pro-
vided an automobile and chauffeur to
take them on the trip. The party left
the hospital about 100 o'clock and re-
turned late in the afternoon. At the
Beach the nurses enjoyed the bathing
and a basket lunch was served. The
nurses and the hospital management
are deeply grateful to DR.. Callahan
for his act.
During these hot days patients at the
hospital in their weakened conditions
suffer much more than the average
person from the heat and much relief
would be furnished if several, electric
fans were contributed to the hospita
by local people.
