"BATTLEs OF LIFE" IS
 TOPIC AT MILL MEETING

At noon Wednesday the Norwich Y. NJ. C. A. representatives conducted the third in a series of mems meetings at the J. B. Martin plant on Franklin street. Sev- eral popular songs were sung by the au- dience. Two vocal solos were finely rem dered by Miss Clara Gordon. and Emery Davis led good group in athletic games.
 Secretary Hill made a brief talk on the topic The Battles of Life, and in part he said: When we speak of a battle we nat urally think of battlefield whereon men shoot each other down, but there are other battles fully as severe as those ever fought with shot and shell, though we would not take any of the glory that belongs to the brave men who have fought thus. There is the battle for bread, and there are hundreds of thou sands who are fighting hard on this bat tleHeid. that they may provide through sacrifice for those depending upon them, and we who are more fortunate should assist these in every way possible While these battles I have mentioned are often terrific, there Is one battlefield where the fighting is more fierce, and that battle field is the human heart, where there are two powers arrayed against each other the one striving to pull us down and the other striving to hold us up. If we fight this battle alone and unaided we will surely fail and fall. but If we seek the help of Almighty God we are sure tc conquer and we will therefore be victors instead of victims.

OBITUARY. George V. Avery.

George W. Avery. 72 years of age, a well known resident of Franklin, died at his home in that town Tuesday With reference to MT. Avery's death a friend writes as follows:
 The whole town of Franklin today Is in mourning for the death of it's hoblest citizen. George ". Avery. He, a man of delicate physical physique and trail health, has built up large and floor ishing business here, and has endear- cd himself to the entire community by his kindliness, his sweN optimism and his firm conviction that goodness lies at the base of what seems unfortunate and evil. A slight accident proved too much for his weakened vitality to withstand, and he died after few days of confne- naent to his bed. It is not only this community, but also the people of the surrounding towns that will miss his genial and gracious presence. As Shakespeare says:
 His life was gentle and the elements so mkt in hln, that Nature might stand up and say to all the world, thss was a man."

 At any rate he said, we take 1t fof granted that the world Is laboring undet depression. Some say 1t is due to denaE ton, some say that 1t Is due to the wal and others say that the depression would have come. war or no war.
 | My opinien Is that we have to get bacli l to the programme established by the PHI l grim fathers before we will reach normr | alley. For 55 years this country has ele- vated machinery above the individual Our forefathers who established this na- | tien wanted to establish a government where there would be work for the man who has capacity. his development, pros perity and happiness.
