 New Hampshire
Game to Putnam Five Years Ago
 From West Hartford

Rev. James F. English, for the past five years pastor of the Second Con- oregational church in Putnam, has accepted a call to the First Congrega- tional church of Manchester, N H., the leading Congregational church of that state. He was selected by the committee of the Manchester church by vote last Sunday following the regular church service. He will be- gin his new duties in June. Mir. English placed his resignation in the hands of the committee of the Put nam church. Wednesday.
 Mir. English has had most sue cessful pastorate in Putnam. His leaving will cause regret both within and without the church society for he has closely identified himself with the interests of Putnam during his short residence here.
 Mir. English first supplied the pull pit of the Second Congregational church. March 22. 1925. The church had been without pastor since the resignation of Rev. Simeon F.. Cozad in June 1924. Monday evening, March 30, 1925, the church commit tee and church membership met and voted to extend call to Mir. English. The call was accepted and MT. English became pastor of the Putnam church, July 1st, 1925.
 Successful Pastorate
 The pastorate of Mir. English, al- though of comparatively short dura- ton. has been a most successful one. A young man himself he attracted young people to the church and the young peoples societies became inn bued with new life and activity. The membership of the church has had a substantial growth; the property has been improved and the interior of the church has been rcmodeled and is the scene of many religious and social gatherings. Outstanding are the Friendly Evening meetings', with A showing of suitable moving pie lures, during the winter months. These have proved delightful and have attracted large gatherings. During Mir English's pastorate the work of the church and the church societies has been extended and the religious and social activities of the parish have become outstanding in the life of the community.
 In wider church activities Mir. Eng fish became a member of the Commit tee on Missions of the Windham County association Of churches and secretary of the Committee on Mis- sions of the General Conference of Congregational churches of Connec- ticut.

TELLS MEMBERS
 OF COUNTY HOME
Commissioners Guests of Elk change Club, Tuesday Eve
 ming at Nathan Hale
Urgele Lafranee Acts as Spokesman
 In Address

County Commissioners Urgele La france of Plainfield. Arthur Keith of Putnam and Burt Johnson of Wood stock, were guests of the Exchange club of Willimantic, Tuesday evening, at the Nathan Hale hotel. It was be- fore this club that Kenneth l.. Mes menger of Hartford, state commis- sioner of child welfare, criticised the Windham County Temporary Home and it's conduct by the commissioner. Later a committee of the club made an investigation of it's own and found conditions satisfactory.
 Commissioner Lafranee addressed the club giving an outline of the or igin of county homes and of the es- tablisnment of the Windham County Home. Commissioner LaFrance said that the Windham county home was opened at Sawyer District on Novem- bed l. 1883. The plan has always been to place the children in some able, respectable private family, as soon as consistent with good judgment. The object of the county home Is to receive children between the ages of four and eighteen vars, who are ne- gleeted. deserted. cruelty treated or dependent. They are committed to the home for their better protection and care. None of the inmates are demented, idiotie or suffering from any incurahle or contagious disease. The committing authorities are Judg- es of juvenile and probate courts and a thorough physical examination by a reputable physician is necessary be. fore child is received.
 Members of the Child Welfare bu- reau now do the Investigating of homes before a child is placed in one. The homes are selected within the county so that mothers and fathers who lost possession of the child be- cause they were unable to provide for it can then continue to find 1t possible to see the child, at least oc- casionally.
 Not Turned Loose
 Authority over these children ceases when they reach the age of IS years, but child is not necessarily dis charged summarily and turned loose into the world without a place to go, however, at that age. In fact, Com missioner LaFrance stated, a suitable pace is found before child leaves the home.
 The present institution consists of three-story frame main building, built in 1899. barn and outbuildings. It has sixty-fve acres of land which is ope- rated on farm basis. Plans are be- ing formulated for an improved water supply to guard against extended droughts such as was experienced last year. In line with improvements, new fire escapes are being installed at the home at a cost of several thousand dollars. The home is Financed from a tax imposed upon the towns in the county and from a portion of the tax on unincorpornted business, which DOT ton is annually determined and paid over so the state treasurer The home is now under direct supervision of management of Superintendent Provendie and Mrs. Provendie as ma tron. There are now 1O9 children at the home. said Mir. LaFrance, twen- ty-nine of whom are from the town of Windham.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, March 31.-A half
dozen enterprising eastern men we're
reported today to have lost around
SIT 100000 through an abortive Ell
fort to corner the rye market.
No definite confirmation of the
report could be obtained at the
Board of Trade, but it is known that
an eastern group has been buying
rye heavily in the last few months.
The steady buying was reported
at slightly higher prices than the
current market quotations and in
creasing cost of storing the thou
sands of bushels of the grain caused
collapse of the attempt, according
to the reports.
The attempt was said to have
started in January when the gov
eminent crop report indicated that
a corner could be obtained by OBJ
tanning control Of a comparatively
small amount of grain.
After the drive started, however,
increasing amounts Of rye appeared
on the market while the storage
cost of the grain already purchased,
mounted.

Previous Accident Recalled;
Termed Fit to Pilot
Auto by Doctor.

Running down a woman and then
swerving into grounds of the Indi-
ana World war memorial, George
Clark, travelling auditor in the state
automobile license division, today
piloted his automobile around the
| gold-tipped obelsk three times be-
fore finding route to leave the
| grounds.
Subject to spells of unconscious
ness, Clark has been continued in
service by the state department un-
der an affidavit of fitness" to drive,
signed by DR.. John A. Salb, despite
a previous automobile accident.
Mrs. Charlotte Watson, IS, of TBS
North Pennsylvania street, who was
struck by the car driven by Clark,
was taken to city hospital. Her in
juries are not serious. Clark also
was taken to city hospital to recover
from the nervous condition blamed
for the accident.
Runs Into Grounds
Seized by one of the periodical
spells as he drove down FIT. Wayne
avenue this morning, Clark lost con-
troll of his car at North and Penn
sylvania streets. The machine
leaped a curb, striking Mrs. Wat
son. and then ran into grounds OF
the World war memorial.
Clark piloted the car three times
in a circle about the shaft before
recovering consciousness sufficiently
to guide it from the open square.
Police today held the automobile
and made an investigation Of the
accident.
Several months ago, Clark was
driving in Danville, Ind, with John
McCord, license revocation Judge,
when he fell in similar state and
crashed into tree in a nearby yard.
Defended by Fifeld
The owner of the tree threatened
to bring suit against Fifield. 1t was
pointed out that a travelling auditor
in the automobile license division
who. although unfit to drive, was
travelling about with the very judge
who was to enforce the law against
unfit drivers.
Fideld defended both himself and
Clark at the time by declaring that
Clark was pronounced fit" by DR..
John A. Salb. Clarks spells are said
to have resulted from his having
been gassed during the World war.
Today Fifield declared that he has
ordered James Bradley, head of the
automobile licensing division, to
assign Clark Immediately to an in
side job and to forbid him to drive
car.
THE doctor told me at the time
of the Danville accident that Clark
was responding to treatment and
probably would not lapse into UNI
consciousness again." the secretary
