The statement in last week's issue concerning a party given by the Golden Gloves Class on February 22, was somewhat confused and misleading. The party was arranged by the Supt., Miss Craig, and Miss Akerman for three classes of the Sunday School. Owing to the storm only three girls were present. The chapel was prettily decorated with festoons of red, white and blue and many flags. Various games were played, and refreshments of sandwiches, ice cream and fruit punch were served, also a beautiful birthday cake, made by Mrs. Toppan for three who were observing a birthday, Rev. G. W. Clark, Arthur Hamilton and Beryl Kelley. A large Jack Horner Pie held favors for all present. The afternoon closed by all singing America and repeating the flag salute.

Refreshments were served and proved delicious. It being our guest's birthday, gifts were in order, including a birthday cake, illuminated with the required number of candles. At a late hour the guests departed, thanking Mrs. Brown for her hospitality and Mrs. Dennett thanking all for her gifts and the complete surprise given her.

The first of January we started a drive for the $300.00 fund this town's quota for the Near East Relief. Up to date we have received $296.00 which is very good when we consider the few people that have contributed. As a rule this is a charity that appeals to most people because everyone knows how these Armenians have suffered at the hands of the Turks. Last year $361.00 was contributed and if we could have received more this year it would not have gone amiss, as most of the surrounding towns are not meeting their quotas, and neither are the cities on account of the disturbance in the Textile industries. If there are any more of our townsmen who would like to contribute the treasurer at Manchester would be very glad. Two loaves of bread and two cans of condensed milk a week is the allowance for each individual. Not a very liberal diet.

A joint meeting composed of the executive committee of the Red Cross, the Red Cross Nursing Committee, the School Board, the School Physician, the District Superintendent, and the Red Cross Nurse was recently held at Mrs. Toppan's. At this meeting Mrs. Hemingway, the Red Cross nurse, was officially elected school nurse. Various topics concerning the health work in the schools was discussed and an outline of the school work drawn. A sincere spirit was shown by all present and it is felt that having such an intelligent basis upon which to work, the benefits of this work will soon be reorganized and appreciated by teachers, pupils and parents. When the new school building is opened a fine room will be used by the nurse as a "First Aid" room. This will be fully equipped for examining the pupils, emergency work, and hygiene classes. The gift or loan of a single width bed is asked for. Anyone willing to contribute such will please notify the nurse, or some member of the committee.

The death of Mrs. Moses W. Brown at her daughter's home in this village on the morning of March 23rd filled the hearts of her family and relatives with deep grief and caused friends and associates to sympathize with them in their loss. For weeks hopes had been entertained that she would recover but the disease was too deeply settled, and the loss of her presence and her work in her home creates a vacancy widely felt and deeply deplored. The deceased was in her 64th year and has, with the exception of a few years spent in Boston, always resided in this village. Mrs. Brown was the daughter of Samuel Palmer of Hampton and Martha Nourse of Boston. She is survived by her husband and three children, Mrs. Orla A. Stowe of Stockbridge, Michigan, Mr. Albert Brown and Mrs. Verne J. Wright of this village. Funeral services were held on Sunday at 2 o'clock and in those services the Rev. Edgar Warren very plainly and consistently set forth the exemplary life and character he had found in his association with the deceased, as her friend. A large number of sympathetic friends and neighbors were present at the services and the beautiful floral pieces testified to their love and esteem. The internment was made in the Hampton cemetery, the bearers being Mr. Wilson Olney, Mr. Irvin Garland, Mr. Howell M. Lamprey and Mr. Richard Shelton. The funeral director was Mr. Junkins of Exeter. While in sorrow her sacred dust is buried, her memory, her spirit, her influence still abide -- a cherished possession.
