one of the most progressive steps foi Noiw4ch.
 Daylight saving-The result Of the re- cent referendum to the members showed 221 iu favor of daylight saving and 4l Opposed Practically all the industries and merchants have expressed themselves in favor of the project. The attitude cf the school board is in doubt With the months of May, Jnne and September for school sessions, 1t is important that he schools should join in the move ment if 1t Is to be successful. The sentiment of the community as a whole seeu1s to be in favor. Because Norwich. in coi,Inon with nearly all the other in- dnstrial centers of the state, can enjoy :!ayligdt saving only through common consent of our people, 1t becomes ap- parent that favorable sentiment should be large.y predominant for the success of the movement The issue is complex The success of the movement depends on 2 very large proportion of our people being in favor.
 Cleanup week-The annual cleanup week for New England VIII be the first week of May. Cities become unclean and insanitary through the downright care lessiess of the people. Back yards be- come the dumping grounds for refuse. Beneath the cellar stairs ss a favorite place to pack old papers and other in- fammable materials. thus creating a fire hazard. The city maintains a rubbish collection department that shEnld be made use of by larger number of city dwellcrs. The Boy Scouts will be re- quested to assist in cleaning up our city and keeping 1t clean. by their re- ports of decidedly unclean premises throughout the city. These reports will be investigated and if results warrant they will be turned over to the proper city officials for action. It Is desira- b.e that the members also report any unsahitary conditions of premises which may come to their knowledge. This is real service for the good of the com munity.
 Community AdqessisB sBls-Your com munity advertising committee present you herewith a booklet stating facts and interesting information concerning Nor virh THe booklets are yours for the asking. Mail them in your business cor re pondence and your friendship letters. This is but a small beginning of an ef- fort to advertise Norwich. Other means are available which can only be made use of through the expenditure of funds. Hence the reason for an adequate in- come through a large membership to work flor the prosperity of Norwich. Some of the large Chambers of Con- merce spend sums as high as S5o.o0 a year to advertise their communities. Some cities appropriate annually large sums to be expended for community ad- vertising. It pays to Advertise. As stated above, there are other splendid methods for advertising Norwich which are hind- cred through lack of sufficient funds Why not try to induce & friend to be- come member of the chamber and help us In this matter2
 Boy Scouts-The present activities of the Boy Scout movement In Norwich are practically assured for another year. Norwich shall retain It's First Class Boy Scout Council and thus manifest It's in- terest in the welfare of our boys. The Boy Scout movement deserves the sup port of the entire community. The Scout

EARLY HISTORY OF THE MUSCLE SHOALS

Florence, Ala. ADTil s7.-From 1918 til about 1878 the shoals on the Ten nsgsee river here were known as '.Musssl Shoals. according to maps of original survey and historical data of original and authentic character possessed by John B. We oakley, Birmingham lawyer and capi- talast and former resident of this com munity.
 MT. Weakley's parents and grandpar- ents resided here and handed down to him a wealth of historical information which he has displayed to set at rest a controversy that has arisen over the orig inal spelling of Muscle Shoals"
 This data, according to MT. Weakley. shows that the Cypress Land company purchased the land about Muscle Shoals from the government March 13, ISIS, and the first white settlements were recorded that year, followed by an influx of set tiers the next year. At that time the survey showed the shoaly section of the river as 'Mussel Shoals" the name being given the rapids by reason of the great quantities of the edible bivalye, mussels, found in and along the stream, these rec ords appear to indicate.
 T have often heard my grandparents tell of mussels being hauled out by the wagon loads" declared Mir. WeaHiey. This was the, same mussei that was once so abundant on the Mississippi river and

 An alfalfa demonstration was put in on the farm of J. L. Raymond at Lyme early this ween. A number of the men 0. the locality have shown an interest IT, raising tEis crop and attempts are bein. made to determine best ways of raising this on New London county soils. MT. Raymond put in three acres of grimm all falfa seed grown in North Dakota. In addition to this two tenth acre plots were put in of ordinary alfalfa. seed to poinl out the different between securing really good seed and ordinary seed bought from local sources. There are all kinds Of alfal- ia seed on the market and the crop sps- cialist at the college recently pointed out that three times as much grimm alfalfa seed was sold last year as was grown.

IMPORTANT CITY ToPrcs IN MEMBERSHIPS vrv

The April membership letter of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce was mailed out to the members of the chamber Thursday afternoon by Score tary John J. O'Rourke. Equitable tax atton the city charter and daylight sav- ing are the principal topics of the iet- ter which follows:
 Equitable Taxation-State Tax Com missioner W.@H Blodgett visited Nor wich recently on tour of inspection. According to a statement made by him Norwich has tine unenviable position of having the lowest grand list in any city In the state and the highest tax rate The commissioner stressed the need of having tax map to properly value the land and buildings; to account for every taxable piece of real estate in the com munity; and to show the relative values of real estate in the various streets and sections of the community He adyocat- ed the daily study by the assessors of tile revenue stamps OIL the recorded sales Of Sroperty values. Furthermore he ad- yoca,ed the assessment of property by the assessors and not by the owners. His advocacy of tax maps confirms the investigations made, by your committee that the maps are absolutely essential
 To secure these important maps means
 the expenditure of money and t is to be
 kuped that the necessary appropriation will be made at the next town meeting

 citv Ctarter-As members of a civic
 organization who are interested in the | welfare and progress of Norwich, 1t be- l hooSes us to take active interest in the
 revised city, charter and earnestly work fer it's adoption. It is without doubt a progressive instrument. The least that can be said of it is that 1t is far
 superior to the present anticipated
 charter. The fact that fourteen citi.
 zens, not members of the city govern
 ment and holding no political office, are
 to assist in the conduct of our city,s 1 business affairs, speaks volumes in praise | of the judgment of the charter revi, sion commission. Four of these citizen:
