NEEDLE WORK GUILD WILL
 CONVENE TO LOCAL WORK

At the annual meeting of the Nor wjch Branch Of the Needle Work Guild of America, held Tuesday afternoon at the Community house, it was voted to drop the ahdliation with the national guild and become the Needle Work Guild of Norwich, all work done by the organization to be used for local insti- tutions deserving of loyal support
 K In making this change it was pointed out that considerable money is turned over to the national guild every year that is earned by contributing members of the Norwich branch and that the prestige of belonging to the national or ganization was not worth this sum which could more readily be spent at home. The members of the guiid are to go out among the men and women
 of Norwich and ask their support of this great movement and endeavor to make 1t possible for Norwich to have | over a thousand articles of clothing and necessities each year.
 The exhibit shown this year com. prised 750 garments contributed by tht | 300 or more members of the guild. eaef contributing at least two new articls, | of clothing during the year. The gar. ments were displayed on tables, eacl table containing those garments co b, given to various local institutions. Sucl

REASONS FOR OPTIMISM
 WERE TOPIC OF TALK

WERE TOPIC OF TALK
 The second of a series of noon meet ings was held at the Richmond Radia- tor company Tuesday at 12.30 under the auspices of the Y. M. c. A. Rev. Charles H. Ricketts delivered an inspir- ing address, emphasizing the reasons why we should be optimistic. Among other things MT. R5cketts said, Why is it that most of us magnify the ills of life and minimize the blessings? If an auto coming down that hill meets with an accident, we center our attention and talk on that, while the ninety and nine autos pass by without an accident, and we take no note of it. We magnify the unusual On a bright night 5000 stars are visible; let one star fall as me teor and everybody is talking about 1t, while they seem to forget the 5000 stars that 50 beautifully bedeck the heavens Why is 1t that we pay so much attention to one bad man, and | tail to think of the many good men and true? Let good man make misstep i; i let minister fan and there are great headlines in the paper, but nothing is said e the n1ultitudes or men w1ose | lives are clean and true. Men, we find just what we look for; if we go out and 1 look for that which is low and mean and dirty, we generally find these things, and we do not have to go far i from our own doors to find them. If we | look for the things that are high and noble, thank God we can find them. We should be thankful to Almighty God for 1 the many good men and good things Te 1 find in this world. Our attitude toward | life depends not on outside things, but it is thing of the heart, and God has put the capacity for gratitude in every l human heart.
 Our experiences are more on the 1 bright side than on the dark, though | when we have one hard experience, we seem to forget entirely the countless blessings that have been ours. If you keep diSry and jot down your hard experiences and also your blessings, you will be surprised when you strike bal ance at the end of a month or a year tc find how very far the blessings outnunl-
 Der the hardships; if you will do this and. count your blessings as well as your ills, you will cease complaining.
