Taking this oppor- tunity of celebrating it's first anni- l Versary, the editors have thanked | those who so ably contributed towards l the edition and the criticisms extend 1 ed which tended to make it the suc cess which it has proven to be. | The editors have strived to pub l fish every item which has been given them without giving any one partic- ular person a knock unless said 1 knock carried a hidden compliment. The most interesting articles are the 1 "Old Emplpyes' and the War Vets 1 including the cartoons by H. Stillman. ] The Clinic by pr. J. N.

The announcement is made of the 1 of Ter, assistant nurse at the plant, to J. Harold Williams, of Northfield, Vt. Acknowledges Error.
 Umpire J. J. Forth, who gave what is claimed as a raw decision at the Unionville- -Plainville game Sunday,
 June 26, has forwarded a letter to Manager Allan Bailey of the local team acknowledging his error and further stating that the game would have been won by the locals had the decision been correct. The letter in detail is as follows:
 "On Sunday, June 26, I umpired a game of ball between Unionvilla and Plainville, thia game being played in Plainville, Conn. In the ninth inning, with the score tied, two out and the Plainville club batting, with man on third, I gave an unlawful decision as follows:
 When the Unionville pitcher l wound up before delivering the ball to the batter, the man on third ran ! toward home plate. When tho ball waa delivered he stopped going to- l ward home. The Unionville catcher jumped in front of the Plainville hit ter to receive the ball thrown by his pitcher, believing, of course, that the man on third was coming in. I called ball on the batter, when l should have allowed the man on third to come in and the batter to take his base, due to interference by the catcher.
 This decision cost Plainville the game, as Unionville secured a run in the tenth and Plainville did not. AL though I do not want to belittle the 1 Unionville club in any way, I am anx- ious to clear myself before the sport 1 ing public and state here that the game would have been won by Plain vile had I given the correct decision.
 'J. J. FORTIN, umpire"

One matter which will be heard from will be in regards to the pro- posed fire protection for the Cram mar school building. The commit tee will make report on it's investi- gation.
