Wilcox Cemetery Association Elects Officers - Annual Meeting of Women's Board of Mission-In- fantile Paralysis-Other Items.

With the closing of the polls at 6 o'clock this evening the largest vote in many years will have been cast in Berlin. All day long there was steady stream of men and women entering and leaving the polling places.
 Kensington, with the largest num- Der Of votes, had accounted for 800 of it's residents by Il o'clock this morning. Berlin was close behind with about 200 and last of all, East Berlin, with about 100. In kensing- ton people were voting at rate of about one per minute during the en- tired period from the opening of the polls until about noon. During the afternoon voting fell of slightly, but the result will be one of the greatest, if not thegreatest totals ever seen in the town.
 Henry Graham was the first man to vote in the Berlin district, casting his ballot shortly after 6 o'clock. Myrtle Prior was the first woman. William II. Gibney, former select man, acted as moderator in this dis trict. In the second district, Ken sington, Orcutt Moffatt was the first man to appear at the polling place, while Mrs. Mary Carbo 1ardner, the democratic nominee for state repre- sentative, was the first Of her sex to register her choice. William J. Pagan acted as moderator here. In the third district Roy Morse acted as moderator.
 With the total number names on the voting list set at about 1850, 1t was prophesied that practically the entire voting strength of the town would have cast its ballot by $ o'clock.
 Both republicans and democrats were working hard to enlist the aid of all their voters to put their candi- dates across and cars containing members of both parties were un- loaded at the doors of the polling places during the entire day, The result of Berlin's vote will probably be known at about g o o'clock.

Kiltonic Post, American Legion, has sent the following notice to it's members relative to the observance of Armistice Day, November II:
 "Armistice Day is approaching. Next to Memorial Day when we honor the memory of our comrades who have gone before, the fitting ob- servance of the anniversary Of the war is one Of the most solemn duties. This differs from Memorial Day, in that it is not a day Of mourning but one of pride and thanksgiving, pride in our country and her unselfsh sacrifice and thanksgiving for the end of the war and our part in it. The keynote Of the day is not sorrow, rather a quiet feeling of the gratitude to the Almighty for having upheld our cause of reconsecration of ourselves to the service of the great flag under which We fought and the country for which it stands.
 "The program recommended hy our post this year is that we ob- serve this day in quiet way, and We ask that you speak of this gor, ious day Sunday, November 9, 1924 at your services, with full assurance that the sacrifice made by our de, parted buddies and their families were not made in vain and that we have not forgotten them for theil glorious memories" The notice i! signed by Kenneth Moore, comman der Of the local post.
