Early Start

Torrington scored first with a long throw from center court by Pequig- not, and began to build up their score, holding Wilby to one basket up to the half.
 Up to the last quarter of the game, it was a fast moving game but at the last quarter there was a mad scramble for the ball and if Wilby made half of the shots they tried, they would undoubtedly have tri- umphed over the new city team. Philip Casman, New Haven, refereed the game.

flee their lives in that service;
Whereas, many others were
called upon to sacrifice health
and strength, with resulting suf-
fering and hardships to them
selves and families which con-
tinue to this day;
whereas, the memory of these
patriotic sacrifices should ever
be kept fresh in the minds of
patriotic citizens, while fullest aid
should be extended to those still
within the reach of human aid;
"And, Whereas, the wearing of
the memorial poppy both honors
the dead and aids the disabled
and dependents:
Therefore, 1, Paul N. Froker,
acting mayor of the village of
