It was thought by the committee in charge that it would be more advisable to explain this plan fully to the parents before it was presented to the children and to this end Thursday evening’s ncetings have been called. At the local public schools, with the exception of the Lartlett school, patriotic appeals will be made at the regular meetings of the Parents and Teachers' associations. There is no such association at the Bartlett school but the parents of the children will be urged to attend. At. St. Marys' and St. Joseph's parochial schools the meetings will be in the form of parish gatherings. Principal L. P. Slade of the High school is chair- man of the committee on speakers and has arranged the following sched- hand at 7 o’clock to give them out, iand all members are urged to come L A | carly.

Local coal dealers report that the shipments of coal are coming in slowly and that the operators of the | coal campanies do not guarantee the | delivery of any shipments which is | due to the shortage which confronts | the factories that are making war | supples and which must be kept in | | | view of the entirely great many more have a operation under any and all con- | ditions. Shipments that have been made to dealers have been taken over | by the government and ordered sent | to those manufacturers who are run- ning short of the product and for | that reason they cannot certify the de- livery of any orders taken. The-local committee on fuel servation believes that the home should be taken care of first without tying up the factories. by the judi- | cious distribution of what coal there is on hand. and in this event who had more coal than was needed, such as club rooms, halls, churches and others. would be presented with a plan outlining the methods of dis con- tribution, and would be paid for the | § coal they could spare just the same as if the coal were to be bought through the dealers. The committee is willing to hear any suggestions to he made upon this subject and will make an effort to relieve those who are at present without coal. Congregational Church meeting. The annual meeting of the Congre- gational church will be held this even- 30 o'clock in the chapel. There will be reading of reports for the past year concerning the depart- ments of the church and also of the work accomplished by the societies.

Re- freshments will be served and a so- cial get-together will be enjoyed by the membe All members of the church and congregation are request- ed to be present. The prayer meeting of the mem- bers of the Congregational church next Thursday evening will be held at the home of Mrs. William S. Eaton of West Main street. The prayer meetings have always been held in the chapel of the church, but the coal has been decided to save as much coal as possible by holding this meet- ing and all others that are possible in the homes of the members.

A girl student revealed that fad yesterday and said the young wo- men in the forth year class are much upset.

Finally he stopped talking and told the girls they had five minutes in which to put away their knitting. During the term the girls of the fourth year produced two sweaters five helmets, three pairs of wristlets six pairs of socks and one muffler. Most of these articles were sent ta the men in the Rainbow division FXAS TRAIN WRECKED.
