became necessary to move to the Quartettc club and then how 'out of d clear sky" came Dr. klingberG' s gift of plot of ground whcreon the community will eventually erect it's own building.
 Dr. KlingbcrS Urges Work Dr. Klingberg expressed his ap- preciaton of the friendly feeling eX- isting between himself and the peo- ple of Barncsdale. He recounted the story of how the late C. l.. Barnes gave him the plot which he cven- tually donated to the community.

 Hard work solves many a prob- lem and it has and is and will solve the problems of Barnesdale. No one is more unhappy than the man who is lazy and does not work. When J left home my mother said, Son, can give you no money but you have two legs, two arms, q good head. a strong back and good blood. If you use what God has given you and arc not afraid to work you'll always have bread
 "Wc Americans have our own ideas about work. Some of the ideas here in America about work arc the cause of so much crime in the country. If boys and girls are taught the value of work and to ,osu work, they will never be idle and they'll always have bread.
 "Your efforts and labors in Barnesdalc have brought results. Barnesdalc is an ideal home site, continue to work for your com- munity and you will always get re- Suts.'
 Becomes Honorary Member
 The meeting voted unanimously to make Dr. Klingberg an honor ary member of the society in rccog milton of his friendly interest. "Barnesdalc is the best com munity in New Britain," '>said Thomas James, veteran resident. When we came out here the peo- pie in Barnesdalc showed by words and deeds that we were welcome. No ono in Barnesdalc ever is in need of comfort or help but what some one out here sees that they get it., Those who arc nSt present tonight will not know the real spirit of friendship until they join us. No where in New Britain is there q spirit that is so neighborly.
 "St. Patrick wanted to do good for his ncighbors. He loved them and they loved him and in loving his neighbors and winning the love of his neighbors his name became hon. ored all over the world.
 "'rhat is the same spirit of neigh borlncss and friendship among neighborS which will continue to make Barncsdalc the best place to live"
 Talks on Homing Instinct Taking as an illustrtion for his 1 talk the homing pigeon and it's un- erring instinct to fly straight to it's home, Rev. William H. Aldcrson spoke on "The Home Instinct" He referred 10 the fact that memories of a childhood home always remain even after the place and the people associated with that home have i T through life without the memories of a home is a lost spirit with q long 1 ing in his soul that nothing can sat isfy. Barnesdale people have band ! cd themselves together to make their section a real home site.
 "Thc homing instinct is being sat l isfid in Barnesdalc, which is a real ] home to you.
 | There arc two things you must i have to make this a real home. You must have that same spirit of friendly criticism that you find in the bosom of your family. That same spirit of helpfulness.
 If we don't go 10 our communt4 club; if we don't give new neigh bors q friendly welcomes: or if we speak but q chilly good morning as we pass down the street, we are like the woman who gives her husband
 a delicatcssen supper at the end of z
 hard days work, when he expects
 roast beef, brown gravy and pie.
 You have the finest communit,
 in or near New Britain. Keep 1t tha
 way.

 when we need help. Then is whcl we need that help we can only tint among the loved ones of our owl
