BY c. E. SOCIETY
 The Christian Endeavor society of Franklin held a social and entertainment in the town hall on Westinghouse Hill Thursday evening which was the most largely attended affair of the season. The opening number on the program was violin solo by MT. Sterry of Norwich. Mrs. George Beckwith was heard in beautifully rendered selection, playing her own accompaniment. Mrs. Beckwith has a charming voice and delighted the audience by her singing. The third num- Der, Catching the Train. a farce, by Mrs. Arthur Smith and Ray Beckwith, was en- Enthusiastically received. The destination of the train was unlearned; neither was it determined whether the unsophisticated travellers caught it or not. owing to the hilarity in the audience Ruth Robinson, young miss of musical inclinations. played piano solo of much merit. Thirty Minutes for Refreshments. farce, played by six of the leading theatrically inclined members. was most favorabiy received the cast including the follow ing: John Downey. B. Davis; Mir. Fitz, H. Copshaw; waitress, M. Duerr; Mir. Pepper H Lathrop; Mrs. Pepper, A. La throp May Time R. Race; Captain, B. DueTr
 M-. Davis as Mir. Downey, a much harassed travelling man, experienced un- told difficulties in attempting to satisfy well developed appetite in a railroad station, due to frequent interruptions by his poorly trained and feather-brained colored valet, who was continually con- fusing notes between MT. and Mrs. Pep per and MT. and Mrs. Lathrop.
 As waitress Miss Duerr was clever occupying the travellers time by frequent | interruptions of a nonsensical nature MT. and Mrs. Lathrop as Mir. and Mrs Pepper were very capable. there being as much pep in their actions as their title | indicated. Miss Race and MT. Duerr in- terpreted their parts most acceptably and | were generously applauded.
 1 A pIeasing number on the program was the piano solo by Marjorie Merry of Norwich. Miss Merry possesses pianistic ability and wonderful power of execu- tion. playing her number in manner that was inspiring. So intense was the applause that she was obliged to give the Hungarian Rhapsody as an encore. During the refreshInent hour Miss Merry and Mir Sterry rendered severa selections.

make a successful administration. It can't be otherwise.
 The question has been raised if there are any charters similar to this in the other cities of the state. r es. We went over the provisions of other charters and picked out whatever we thought was for the best interests of Norwich.
 After explaining the charter com missions decision to leave the matter of the naming of salaries for the city officers, Mayor Lerou said: I would say that $1,O0O year for man to ] manage the city of Norwich; which l handles a million and a quarter year is ridiculous
 | Mayor Lerou said that when he took the mayors chair two years ago he did so with but one object, to give Norwich a business administration and that when he took up the matter of a new charter he did so with the ob- ject of giving Norwich the best.
 Mayor Lerou expressed confidence that the charter will be adopted at the election in June.
 Majority Vote Will Adopt
 It was brought out in the discus sion which followed that, contrary to first opinions, a 60 per cent. vote on the charter is not necessary at a regular election. Both Mayor Lerou and Mr. Jensen said this matter has been thoroughly investigated and ex- pert legal advice shows that majority vote on election day will adopt O. reject the charter.
 On motion of Arthur l.. Peale q rising vote of thanks was given the mayor, MT. Jensen and the members of the charter commission, after whict adjournment was taken, a few minutes after o'clock.
 Mrs. Ora c. Spencer, noble grand of the Rebekah lodge, was in genera charge of the arrangements for tht supper. The supper committee com prised Mrs. Gene Evans, chairman Mrs. Ethel Winchester, Mrs. Mabe Wheeler, Mrs. Aida Boyens and Mrs Florence Maynard.
