HIGH SCHOOL CONCERT
Musical and Literary Program Ends
 With Drill By P. H. 5. Cadets

Last Friday evening the Putnam High school gave a concert in Union hall. under the auspices of the Parent Teachers Association. The program consisted mainly of musical numbers, but also of several recitations and readings. Miss Helen Phillips gave a vocal solo, and Miss Esther Rouse showed exceptional ability in a violin solo. Both received encores. Chan dler Morse held the audience at all times throughout his reading, "The Honor of the Woods" by w. H. Mur- ray. This proved to be a very pop ular number, both because of its in teresting theme and the fine interpre- tation which it received from the speaker.
 Miss Helen Thompson upheld her reputation of being a very talented speaker, with three recitations, "Un- cle Tascus and the Deed" by Day; March" by May Riley Smith, and An American In Europe" by Van Dyke. The last was exceptionally we'll given. Both the girls and boys glee clubs rendered selections, as well as the full school chorus, which gave the opening and closing numbers. The musical part of the evening showed that Miss Josephine Estes, music in- structor for the schools, has developed the singing talent at the high school to very credible stage. Miss Estes is very popular with the students as singing teacher. and during the eve ming was presented with large bou- quet of flowers by the arent-Teach- ers' Association, showing it's apprecia- ton of her successful efforts in the new lines undertaken this year.
 At the close of the concert. the floor was cleared of seats, and with the audience standing about the hall, the P H. S. Corps of Cadets gave a 20-minute drill The company was in charge of First Lieutenant Leroy Ames, in the illness of his superior. Captain George Child. The manual of arms and several marching man oeuvres were executed with a snap and precision which showed that months of drill have been given by the drillmaster, Principal Snow.

of United States Appear
 In Costume

East Woodstock-One hundred and fifty people sat down to the Hoover dinner given at the Commu nity House in East Woodstock, Satur day evening, March l9. The dinner was decided success, due partly to the excellence of the delicious soup,
 bread and cocoa, and partly to the
 program which followed
 The object of the evening was to
 raise the quota allotted to Woodstock for the Hoover Relief Fund, which Is closing its campaign of $3,500,000
 with which to feed the children of
 Central Europe until next harvest As chairman of the dinner program,
 ex-Ambassador Herbert Bowen intro
 duced the two principal speakers of
 the evening. The first speaker was
 Stanley Kelly, supervisor of the Hoov-
 CT Relief Fund for Windham county.
 and president of the Eastford Camps i Corporation, which has school unit l in Pomfret MT. Kelly gave as his
 address general idea of the Hoover
 Fund His pleasing personality and ! q
 preciatve audience The second
 speaker was Ivan Rossiter, Canada
 an war veteran. formerly associated
 with Private Peat, and a speaker of
 the l. s. Treasury Department during the postwar days. Mr. Rossiter spoke
 on some of his actual war experiences
 -" "ReminiScence of Waiting For Death''-as he called them. His ob feet was to show that while men
 would face certain death under fire of
 battle without ffinching-even volun-
 teering to do so-the staunchest of them would be phased at the thought
 of starvation. Mir. Rossiter spoke
 from first hand knowledge, having ex-
 perienced much suffering in nine Ger
 man prison camps. Then followed his
 general appeal for the starving kid
 dies of Central Europe.
 A novel and unique feature of the evenings program was the appearance in costume, of the Presidents of the United States from Washington to Harding. They were introduced, in order, to the audience by the chair man. Mir. Bowen, who personally re- called incidents with certain of the later Presidents He most amusingly narrated the story of heavy weight wrestling match with ex-President Taft when at Yale. The makeup of the Presidents was most realistic and much praise is due to the originator ! of this clever idea, Generous applause was given the Presidents as they en- ! tered the hall and later when they were introduced. Following the re ! ception of the Presidents the audience \ was charmed by piano selection ren- \ dered by Allan upham of East Wood \ stock

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson; / am in love
with a young man who is an invet-
crate smoker. | have tried repeatedly
to get him to stop. but he says it il
impossible. Do you think this is a
sign of weak will? | think that if
he is unable to conquor himself in
little things that he will be unable to
cope with the bigger things of life.
Am | right? He has repeatedly de-
clared his love and / do not care to
2 We him up. Can you advise me?
ANTI.
| think You are placing too much
Importance on the fact that your
tiance smokes. The habit will never
do him any good, but if it does MOI
hurt him any more than it does most
men, you have no cause to worry.
To insist upon his giving up some
thing which gives him so much plea
ure would be infringing on his per
sonal rights, it seems to me. Judge
his will-power in other ways as well
as by the fact that he says it is iii
possible to give up smoking. If he is
weakwilled in many respects, you Ger
tainly have cause to worry.
