Pastimes of a bygone era were greatly enjoyed by those attend ing the old-fashioned party given by the Federated Ladies Aid last night. A number of quaint cos tunes lent atmosphere as did the pastor in establishing the histor- ical setting and the modes of con duct proper to the time.
 Old songs were rendered with fervor under the direction of MT. Loren Leech. After that sides were chosen for the spelling match, which didn't last long. The words conscientious" and "rhinocsrous" took a heavy toll. With a few more bad ones Mrs. Leech was left standing alone. When ample justice had been done to the refreshments, the song lovers gathered once more about the organ. So entranced did they become with the har- mony thay were producing that it was hard matter to call it an evening and go home.

 OPEN FOR COURSE
Annual Sessions Now On; l; Dr. Thomas Stock Is
 Dean

East Norti1field, Mass, July 1e- The 38th annual session of the Northfield Conference of Religious Education convened last Tuesday on the campus of Northfield Seminary. Three hundred delegates and a fa- culty of 40 met together fo ran irl- formal meeting of introduction and explanation of the courses on the lawn outside Sage Chapel.
 Dr. Harry Thomas Stock of Bos- ton is the dean and Alden M. Ham, mond of Providence is the chairman of the board of managers for the conference, which continues for ele- ven days, concluding with gradua- tion exercises for those who have completed the work for diplomas. The chaplain this year is the Rev. Lemuel K. Lord, minister of the First Methodist church, Hyde Park, Mass.
 Most of the 300 delegates are young people who are active workers in more than 50 Protestant church. es in Massachusetts and other states. While at Northfield about one half of the delegates live in tents and the others are housed in dormitor- les.
 The 30 classes are divided into sec- tions covering the Bible and Chris tian beliefs, teaching children reli- zion, problems of young people and types of programs, understanding ourselves, and religious education. The program calls for four hour ses- Sions each morning with a worship service of half hour at e:l5. Eve- ming worship meetings will be held at Round Top.

Yesterday I read an article in which it suggested that the pay of private be raised from $21 to $40 per month. Naturally am not opposed to this as we both know that for one of the hardest jobs there is in life the soldier receives about the lowest pay. But who heard anybody putting up a squawk about the pay of the reg ulars? all of this uproar about care of the service man, recrea- tion, better pay, etc., always comes out when the selective service starts to function. No one seems to ever give a damn about the regular or the volunteer. I served in the artillery and Marine corps of the regular service when the pay of 8 private was only SIS 8 month. The public did not seem to be upset about that. From the SIS the following deductions were made: SIPS for the post laundry, $l00 for the barber, $1.00 for the tailor, etc., so that if @ man had half of that SIS he could call his own he was lucky. The ration al- lowance in those days was only g cents day, and with transporta- tion and refrigeration as 1t then was, it is very evident that there were many choice edibles which were missing from our company table. Butter we had occasionally, pie and cake hardly ever, and milk well, the only milk we were given was that already mixed up in the coffee when 1t was placed on the mess table. We were young then and there were many things we were accustomed to having at home which the mess table did not furnish. At the post exchange we could secure quite a few nice things to eat and were allowed to draw canteen checks each month for their purchase. This made all- other big hole in that SIS we re- ceived.
 The government encouraged us to be thrifty and place our money WlCh the paymaSter to receive { per cent interest. Careful tables were prepared showing how much man would have after thirty years service if he deposited certain amount every month, and our attention was called to some men who had done this and who had retired after 30 years service with good sum on deposit. Most of these men, however, were for- eigners who had had nothing in the old country and could go on the same way here practically without suffering. Us fellows who had had good homes, with plenty, found it hard to compete in sav- ing, with these boys from over the pond. As I stated. in the be- ginning of this letter I served two enlistmentS in the regulars before the war and also served in the l02 Infantry. Connecticut Ma tional Guard, from January 1914

to January 1941. Before and dur ing the war, was a no1l-con- and since the war have been first lieutenant. of Go. E., 102 Infantry, (The Chatf1eld Guard) of Water bury. Shortly after resigned from the National Guard I was offered a commission in the State Guard and am now company commander of Company c (The Sarsfield Guard) 3rd Battalion, 1st Waterbury district. This battalion is commanded by Major Peter E. Fox, a World War veteran and captain of Go. c for many years. There are only about a dozen men in my company who have not had previous service. I have 8 dozen eX-regulars and the rest are men who have been dis charged from the National Guard within the last year because of dependents, etc. My supply serg- cant Is a World War veteran who served with me in Go. E for the past IS or 19 years as supply sergeant. All my non-cons of course are P.s men and were se- lected by a competitive examina- tion arranged by me. From my own experience as a non-com, I believe I know what to look for in non-com material and results, so far anyway, bear this out.
 Seems to be quite a lot of notice taken of the disciplinary action instituted by Major General Lear with those 35 regular Division men. What do you think would have happened in the outfits you and were in if we had acted the same as that outfit in passing through some town? When we left Camp Pontanezen at Brest to march down the hill to the dock we were told that not a sound would be heard from any man, otherwise we would be marched back up the hill. Needless to say only the clump, clurnp of the hob nails could be heard.
 With very best wishes for your continued good work, am,
 Yours in Comradeship,
