WASHINGTON HILL

Tn boys and girls of Troop 8,
Boy Scouts, and Troop 40 Girl
Scouts did a very creditable job last
evening at the dedication services
tor the Service Flag-for Washing
ton Park Community Club. Owing
to the fact that st. Francis Pa
rochial school graduation was
held the early part of the evening,
and most Of the scouts we're among
the graduates, the exercises for the
service flag had to be held at 9
O'Clock. The scouts assembled at
the corner of Paramount and Rye
streets, and marched in a body to
the Community House.
The program was very brief, with
President John Lynch acting as
master of ceremonies, Rev. James
Broderick, pastor of st. Francis
Xavier church, opened the services
with the recitation of the Lords
Prayer, with everyone present join
ing in.
Guest speaker was H. o. Fallon
a former Dartmouth College foot
ball player, represented Mayor John
S. Monagan, who sent his regrets
at his inability to be present, owing
to the former engagements he had
to fulfill at the high school gradua-
tons. Mr.. Fallon gave very in
teresting talk on the purpose Of a
Service Flag-and the tribute il
meant, both to the boys in the serv-
Ice of our country, and their rela-
tives here at home. Also, brought
out in more vivid detail the necessity
of each and everyone of us, whether
we be nine or ninety years old
to do your yart in protecting our
country here on the home front.
Miss Sarah Miller, executive sec
rotary of the Waterbury Council Of
Girl Scouts, also made few brief
remarks on the good work the Cir
Scouts have accomplished in the
few years of their existence.
