rs.C. B. Joyce In Local Address, Fresh From
rsWashington, Tells Women AndreWs Would
lose His “Pep” Under Pressure—Not Man
For The Job, She Thinks.
an. o. 3. Joyce, of Bridgeport, semi-ed the local branch
of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. yesterday afternoon
at the home of Mrs. John E. McLene. at 2 Charles street, East
lorwalk. Mrs. Joyce hes just
returned from the recent tem-
perence conference from April 11 to April 13 in Washington.
D. 0., and spent most of her time yesterday in telling of the im-
portant features of the meeting.
Mrs. Joyce has no enthusiasm
' for Lincoln Andrews, federal prohibition “cssr”.
. Mrs. Joyce be-
gan her address.
with a brief out-
line of the his-
tory and work-
ing of the W. C.
T. U. which has
been organised
for 60 years and
has accomplish-
ed much during
that period. Mrs.
Joyce appealed
to the local
women to help
swell the ranks
of the national
organization to a
million members.
Each woman is
asked to get three new members.
Mrs. Joyce also reminded the mem-
bers not to be afraid to wear the
white ribbons. which stands for
temperance.
Mrs. Joyce told the members
that they must stand together now
as never before. She said the law
enforcement supporters were made
up of mostly women.
She said the conference at Wash-
ington had 600 representatives from
21 states. She described some of the
futures of the convention. "The
Hon. Morris Shepherd. father of the
dim. amendment. referred to the
drys as “social buttercupe" and the
wets as “social gutter pups.“ said
Mrs. Joyce.
Mrs. Joyce said she did not think
that Prohibition Enforcement 0f-
ficer Lincoln Andrews was the man
for the job. She thought that. if too
much pressure was brought against
him he would“let up” in the en-
forcement work.
The speaker told of having her
picture taken with a group of dele-
gates on the steps of the White
House. with President Calvin Cool.
idge who was in the center of the
5" To group.
Mrs. Joyce said the great diffi-
culty of enforcing prohibition in lo-
cal circles was the fact that people
refused to make complaints agath
"stills" which they know about.
"People are willing to talk among
themselves about it. but will not
make complaints to the prosecuting
attorneys.‘ 'she said.
'She urged the women to use the
vote now that they have it. and said
it‘ did not matter what party can—
didates they voted for. as long as
they were satisfied that the candi-
date selected was the best. She
asked the women to disregard party
politics and vote for the best can-
didate. She also urged the women
to become acquainted with the vol-
ing machines.
In closing Mrs. Joyce appealed
to the women to stand shoulder to
shoulder and fight the liquor traf-
fic. “The law is now on the books
’ and will stand. never to'be mod~
ified." she said.
Mrs. Joyce was given a vote of
thanks for coming here to address
the local women. There were eight
present.

F0 RLEGION FUND
Opera “Martha” Ren-
dered By Local
Singers and O t h e r
Distinguished Talent
Plans have been completed and
all is in readiness for what prom-
ises to be a gale night for the City
of Norwalk. next Tuesday evening.
when the People‘s chorus assisted
by a quartet of distinguished ar-
tists will sing the beautiful opera
“Martha." by Friedrich \‘on Fiotow,
at the Regent theatre.
The reserved seat sale which
opened yesterday morning at the
box office of the theatre gave every
indication that the citizens of this
community are fully in accord with
the efforts of the People's chorus to
help the local post of the American
Legion in raising its quota of the
American Legion Endowment fund.
This fund is a most noble enter-
prise end certainly is entitled to
the iupport of every American.
Norwalk is one of the very few cit-
ies in the l'nltcd States which has
not as yet raised its quota for the
fund. and when this matter became
known to the People's chorus the
members promptly offered their
services in the matter.
Much effort has been put forth by .
the People‘s chorus in. preparing.
for this concert and the chorus .to-
day is more fully equipped to ren-
der a work of this character than
over before. Mrs. Lucy Marks Mor-
rison. conductor. is very enthusias-
tic over the way in which the chor-
us work in the opera has been de-
veloped and there is no doubt that
the People's chorus will add more
laurcis to their record.
The quartet which will assist the
chorus is composed of Miss Genia
Zielinska. soprano; Miss Mabel
Iiiteh. contrailo: Robert Quait. ten.
or. and Paul Parks, baritone. These
artists are all of the highest ability
and theirs work has received tre-
mendous praise wherever they have
sung.
It is not often that a quartet of
artists of such exceptional ability is
brought to Norwalk and those who
the fortunate enough to be present
will be assured of a. rare musical
treat. Mrs. William Sniffen and Miss
Gladys Brady will be at the planes,
and Hewitt Toland will accompany
at the organ.
The evening not only promises to
be a rare one musically but will be
extremely picturesque as well. The
members of the American Legion
drill team will act as ushers and as
a guard of honor for Governor
Trumbull. The governor will be ac-
companied by a large party. The
drill team in their brilliant uni-
forms will form a very rich picture
for the affair.
The American Legion Endowment
fund which will benefit as a result
of thieconcert is an enterprise that
is entitled to the support of all citi-
sens and is a most laudable enter-
prise.
