"Albert E. Winchester

The death yesterday of Albert
Edward Winchester. General Super-
.intendent of the South Not-walk
Electrical Works. leaves a deep and
wide void in the hearts of scores
End scores of his friends and ac-
Tduaintances here.

Albert Winchester was both
Idealist and a genius, the
usually being combined.

3;; He was a man of wisdom. of cour-
‘ age and of rare dogged determina.
tion. When he set his mind on a
goal. the longest hours and the hard-
.‘ot work were no obstacles.

it; He believed in Norwalk. He
"7'""dreamed of Norwalk and during his
lifetime he saw this community and
helped this community progress
from a middle sized village to a.
prosperous expanding city.

'Mr. Winchester could easily have
had a position that paid him a much
larger salary in a bigger city. But
'Norwalk had become his home. his

dream. his ideal and. as he knew he

would, he died virtually in harness.

The short rest he was taking at
this time. When death overtook him.
was not of his own seeking, but was

.forccd upon him. It was thought
that a vacation amid the scenes he
knew as a boy would help to replen-

ish his waning strength. But the ill-

ness which he fought with the cour-

age of a soldier for so many years
finally downed him.
We. could write almost endlessly
about Albert Winchester. We knew
"him: we admired him. Frequently
he would stop in for a chat in the
editorial offices of The Evening Sen-
- tinel and on these occasions he in.
.variably would discuss his plant,
the South Norwalk Electrical Works,
how he had built it up: how its pro-
, fits were converted into better serv-

ice for his townspeople and how

Norwalk had grown and would grow.

AlbertWinchester was a truly

. patient man. He was one of that
old school who knows that progress
is not measured in minutes, but re-
quires days, weeks. months and
.years of tireless efforts, No task
was too painstaking for him. He
’would solve it to its last detail.
Mr. Winchester was one aof
‘Edison’s boys.” When the business
of supplying communities with ins
, condescent light and electric current
. was regarded by the majority as a
visionary’s dream, he foresaw the
future of wheels, spun by an invis-
jg-ible power. of cities illuminated
without the lamp-lighter‘s torch.
. That dream. of course. is now a
commonplace fact. The change was
I‘Vrdught within the lifetime. of Al-
bert Winchester and he helped to
nuke it possible.
~ Among Mr. Winclicster's intimate
igniends were the giants of the elec-
Ltrlcal power business of this coun-
rtry. He was “Albert" to them. and
hey were "Ed." “Bill." or "Harry"
rt. hlm.
Albert Winchester first came to
NorWalk in 1892 as consulting on-
ginoer of the project to give South
’ 'orwalk its own municipal lighting
ipl_ant. His attachment for the city
was immediate. In 1597 he was
pushed General Superintendent of

the plant and has held that position
and filled it with the greatest henor
to himself up to the time of his
death.»

Albert Winchester was one of the
leading and one of the most zealous
of Norwalk's citisens and the place
left vacant by his death will never
quite be filled.

Show Colors July 4

July 4th. celebrated as the anni-
versary of the nation‘s independence.
is tho time. above all, to show your
colors.

Because of the numerous errors.
often made in properly displaying
our flag, The Evening Sentinel. in
response to many requests. publishes
the following instructions giving the
correct method for all times and oc-
casions:

The flag should be displayed only
from sunrise to sunset. or between
such hours as may be designated by
proper authority. It should be dis-
played en national and state holl-
days and on historic and special oc-

 

 

csslons. The flag should always be
raised briskly and lowered core-
moniously.

When carried in a procession
with another flag or flags. the flag
of the l.'nlted States should be
either on the marching right. i. 0..
the dog’s own right. or when there
is a line of other flags the flag of
the l'nited States may be. in front
of the center of that line.

When displayed with another
nag against a wall from crossed
staffs. the. flag of the United

States should be on the right. the
dog's own right. and its staff should
he in front of the staff of the other
flag.

When a number of flags are
grouped and displayed frnin staffs.
the flag of the L'nlted States should
be in_the center or at the highest
point of the group. ‘

When flags of states or cities or
pennants of moieties are flown on
the same halyard with the flag of
the lfnited States. the national flag
should he always at the peak. When
flown from adjacent staffs the flag
of the l'nlted States should be
hoisted first . No flag or pennant
should be placed above or to the
right of the United States ‘

When flags of two or more na-
tions are displayed they should be
flown from separate staffs of the
same height and the flags should be
of approximately equal size. (inter-
national usage forbids the display
of the flag of one nation stove that
of another in time of peace).

When the flag is displayed from
a staff projecting horizontally or at

an angle from the window sill. bsl- -

eony or front of building. the union
of the flag should go clear to
head of the staff unless the flag is
at half mast.

When the flag of the L'nitsd
States is displayed in a manner
other than being flown from a staff
it should be displayed flat. whether
indoors or out. When displayed
either horizontally 'or vertically
against a. wall. the union should be
uppermost and to the flag's own
right. i. e.. to the observer's left.
When displayed in a window it
should be displayed the same way;
that is. with the union or blue field
to the left of the observer in the
street. When festoons. rosettes of
drapings of blue, white and red are
desired. bunting should he used, but
never the flag. ‘

When displayed mer the. middle
of the street. as between buildings.
the flag of the United States should
be suspended vertically With the
union to the north in the east-and-
west street, or to the east in n
northand-south street.

When used on a speaker‘s plat-
form. tho flag should be displayed
above and behind the speaker. It
should never be used to cover the.
speaker's desk or drape over the
front of the platform. if flown
from a staff it should be on the
speaker's right.

When used in unveiling a status
or monument. the flag should not
he allowed to fall to the ground,
but should be carried aloft to wave
out. forming a distinctive feature
during the remainder of the cere-
mony.

When the flag is displayed in
church it should be from a staff
placed at the congregations right
as they face the clergyman. The
service flag. the flag, or other flags
should he at. the left of the congre-

gation. If in the chancel the flag
of the United States should be
placed on the clergyman's right

as he faces the congregation and
other flags on his left.

When the flag is in such condi-
tion that it is no longer-a fitting
emblem for display. it should not
be cast aside or used in any way
that might be viewed disrespectful
to the national colors. but should be
destroyed as a whole preferably by
burning or by some other method
in harmony with the reverence. and
respect we owe the emblem repro-

 

senting out country.

Letters To
The Editor

 

THANKS.
Editor of The Evening Sentinel;
Dear Sir: The writer wishes to

congratulate both The Evening Sen-
tinel and the Street Department of
the City of Norwalk.

Within 48 hours after your edit-
orial, drawing the street depart.
ment's attention to the holes in
Washington street and South Main
street. the Street Department had
these holes fixed up so that an auto-
mobile might pass over them with-
out risk of breaking a spring.

The. editorial was timely and the
request was made in the proper
manner which was proved by the
immediate response of the Street
Dipsrtmenl. The newspaper is to
be congratulated for making the
suggestion and the department for
so quickly acting upon it.

Hoping that. The Evening Sentinel
will continue to watch out for the
best interests of the city and the
city's \lrious departments will act
upon those suggestions. I am

\‘ery sincerely yours.

A sigh. denoting deep relief. cs-
caped Lllsh Menlow. and she sat
down llmply. feeling like an Atlas
suddenly rid of the. responsibility
of holding up a world. The ice.
was over. The last. guest was gone.
She was alone with Michael.

“Well. that's over." she said. Her
eyes wandered around the library.
with its decorations of evergreens
and blooming flowers.

"You did splendidly!"
exclaimed. blowing her a kiss.
too. was weary.

"I hope so. Oh. I hope so! But
I'm nfraid—-—. I saw some of those
old cuts off in the corner with their
noses up. and my cars itchcd. But
I don‘t care!“

“You've given them something to
talk about. all right; but an envy!
. . . Those little cakes were so clev-
er!" He was proud of her. He had
been a little apprehensive about this
attair. her debut as s. hostess among
the malrons. ,

“Wasnt' Sally a‘perfect darling!"

Thus they talked for half an
hour. too exhausted to want to
move. Then Lilah arose. "I'm go-
ing to bed. I'm going to sleep for
two years."

Acrosal the city. in one of the
score of uninspired imitations of
Italian villas that sit back on Grand
avenue. two women. talked. One
of them was Bertha, whom Lilah
Menlow looked upon as a friend.
The. other was Mrs. Rogers Thomp-
son Shirlelgh. who had “just drop-
ped in for a. moment" on her way
home from the tea.

The latter spoke: "Absolutely
too pretentious for a new hostess."
she commented. "She should have
used better judgment."

Bertha‘s response was a. nod.

"And she's beenrathcr long in
giving it. They've been married an
awfully long time. Hardly time for
a ‘house-warmlng‘." She laughed.

comfortable.
ful in putting Lilah on edge that
afternoon. ‘

"I suppose you know what the
directors of the company are saying
about her husband."

Bertha's ears prickcd up. and be

eyes asked a question.

"Well. Mr. Shirleigh says John
Stone says that Michael Menlow
sold them out to Arthur Manning
in the most treacherous. decelti'ul
way. And after they had kept him
an officer because of his father and
mother."

"But you know he had a large
interest. in the company." Bertha
put in.

"That‘s what. made it worse! He
was, after all. a sort of partner.
Yet when he sells out. he does so
privately to Arthur Manning! My
husband says that Arthur Manning
is manipulating the stocks of the
company and that some of these
days the local stockholders arc go-
ing to find themselves out in the
cold. Out in the cold. that's the
expression he used. And all be-
cause of Michael Menlow. I don't
suppose. though. he has the brains
his father or his mother had. Just
week. It’s too bad."

Mrs. Shirlelgh's thoughts took a
turn.

"You know 'she. used awfully
poor judgment in inviting that Hel-
en Huntley. Surely she knows the
stories going around about Helen
Hunley."

"Yes." Bertha agreed. "I be-
lieve she does. I can't imagine why
she invited Helen. They're not,
particular friends." .

Mrs. Shirlelgh. her diamonds
flashing gsudily. shrugged. “Well.
I'm afraid she is going to have I.
hard time establishing herself. I'm
afraid her dinner will be somewhat
of a. failure. Too had!"

She arose majestically. "Well.
pet. I must be trotting along. Rog-
ers will be wondering where I am.
He's so impatient if I'm not home
for dinner. These men! . . . You
must come in some afternoon and
