MANCHESTER BROTHERHOOD 
ALFRED S. JEWETY TELLS WHAT 
Pusiic SERvIcCE Has MEANT 
To Him. 
After three speakers had in turn 
disappointed the members of the 
Manchester Brotherhood on Monday 
evening Alfred S. Jewett, Manches- 
ter’s veteran Town Clerk came to the 
rescue as the speaker of the evening 
He talked interestingly of. his experi- 
ences during 29 years as Town Clerk 
of one of New England’s oldest 
towns. The largest audience for 
for several weeks heard the talk. 
President Warner of the Brother- 
hood was notified at the eleventh hour 
that his speaker for the evening would 
be unable to attend. He hurriedly 
made arrangements with a _ Boston 
man to lecture, but he also was com- 
pelled to cancel the engagement. Mr. 
Warner then made arrangements to 
get slides for an illustrated lecture, 
but they were not delivered in time. 
Mr. Jewett agreed to substitute in the 
emergency and his services were glad- 
ly accepted. 
Mr. Jewett began with a sketch of 
the life of the town in his boyhood, 
recalling incidents in connection with 
many of the older residents, former 
town officials and particularly a for- 
mer schoolmaster, Jonathan French. 
He described Town meetings of. an 
earlier date, which he said he attend- 
ed from the age of seven. He char- 
acterized John Lee, a predecessor, in 
the office of Town clerk as a very 
positive man, one who was agressive 
in his opinions and who usually car- 
ried his points whatever side of an 
argument he was on. 
“The Puritan influence reached 
down to my day,” said Mr. Jewett in 
explaining how he was led to change 
his occupation of cabinet maker and 
take up the duties of the Town clerk 
in 1888. “The people looked askant 
at the youth who danced or sought 
social diversions. We were more seri- 
cus in our aims than the young peo- 
ple of today.” Mr. Jewett told how 
his love of books had brought him in 
touch with people in way no other 
means would have provided. His 
fondness for: reading gave him a 
common ground with many people he 
met under a variety of circumstances, 
instances of which he related. 
Mr. Jewett said that shortly -after 
assuming the duties of his office he 
began to familiarize himself with law 
in order to be able to. answer ques- 
tions, which he might be asked. . He 
had no regret at having taken the 
position for he liked to meet people 
and to study them. He said he liked 
to spend his vacations where he 
could meet new people and get their
