War Savings Stamp Notes, The War Savngs Stamp campaign which has been in prog for the past seven months is progresing well. A few weeks ago when the governor, as well as the president, asked that a War Savings Stamp pledge campaign be made, the committee in charge re- |ported that over $20,000 was pledged. For the past six weeks the subscrip- tions to the stamps have been large. The general committee in charge of stamps reports that over $1,000 has been subscribed for each of the six weeks. The town quota is $66,000 and over one-half has been subscribed. In cash subscriptions over $17,000 has been collected. Of this, $1,500 was raised by the school children, When the schools resume studies in the fall a drive will be made to interest more children in the purchasing of stamps. A War Savings Stamp campaign is be- ing carried on in most all the factories of the town and the factory heads re- port that the stamps are selling well. { Many of the fraternal organizations of {the town have pledged to buy a cer- !tain amount during the year. The lo- cal court of the Foresters has pledged to invest in $1,000 worth, and more |than one-half of the quota has been {raised. The local merchants have {pledged to purchase a certain amount. In the fall the local troop of Boy Scouts will give a harvest fair at {Which time a drive will be made to {sell stamps.

EDDY GREDIT T0 NEW BRITAIN fore Going Info Battle Thomas W. Wilbor, Jr., son of Mr and Mrs. T. W. Wilbor of Franklip Square, has written the following let- ter from rance, where he is en- gaged in Y. M. C. A. work: “July 7, 1918. “Dear Mother:— “Yes, the troops are doing splen- didly and especially the Marines. My only regret is that I came so close to it and just missed goine right through with them. There are no better sol- diers and no better men in the world than the U. S. marines, and I'm proud to have been with them as much as I have. I have seen a zood many of the old crowd here in the last week. You know, as I told K in my last letter, this is the placs where I left them just before the big fight. They all want me to coma back with them and it looks now as though I might before long. Our new provisional chief is a wonder and will do all he can to help me. Yes, some of my men were in that list of killed you sent me, and a good many more of my old friends have gone now, but they've lived up to the traditions of the corps and that is enough for a marine. I heard from Dr. Clifford, and he is recuperating in England and hopes to be back with us soon. “I don't know whether I told you or not, but I Leslie Eddy that first morning that I came in here. T think he was killed. A man from his outfit told me that he thought he was and his name in the 1list pub- lished in the paper. If you find that it is true you mightitell Mrs. Eddy that I saw him only @ few hours be- fore he went into action and ‘as you know he.was awarded the D. S. C. (distinguished service cross). He v a credit to the corpsand to New Bri ain. He asked me to write if he didn't come through, but I want to be sure first. “Well, today has begn the best in many weeks for me. I found last night that the boys from home had passed through I didn't waste much time in locating them and last night I saw Russ Nelson, Jack Heron, Fred Grosclaus, Brady, and this morning I went out and saw Cardner Weld, Gor- don Robinson, Bill Hart, ‘Red’ Yerges and the rest. I spent the morning with them and they are all in fine shape, never loaked so well in their liveg, especially Bill. Dute Parker was away at school again so I missed him. I think Deac Hastings was away, too, and Dwight Pease has heen away and gotten a commission and is no- longer with the outfit. You can't imagine how glad I was to see them all. Next to being in New Britain it was the best thing on earth. I sure had to laugh to see all those boys eating dry bread, steak and potatoes and black coffee sitting on the edge of their dug-outs thinking it was fine. ‘Red’ Verges sald they ate dinner in a town a whiie ago and ‘they insulted us—they gave us napkins.’ But we eat pretty well ove here. There aren’'t any frills but there is plenty of it and it’s real food Just now I am messing with a company of military police and we have very goéd ‘chow." They are good fellows, too- all old cavalry men regulars. Bill says Gardner is always getting him in wrong by writing home so often. Rod Chamberlain is in the hospital suffer- ing from blood poisoning from barb wire. He is getting along all right, though. He has been awarded the D. 8. C. also. T must write to Charlie Hart. T see him sometimes as he isn't far from here Just now sub-warehouse here: it porary though. T always knew that my experience as a freight handler the Stanler Rule and Level shipping room would come in handy some time. “If you think it is dusty in New Britain I wish you could live for a day on this roadside. The traffic never es day or night I have a billet right in the front of the house and everything 1 own is gray with dust. If you slap me on the back a cloud arises from my clothes. I have no one to t e care of me here as there are only a very few Freunch people here. When I first came with these troops it was totally deserted, of course. We just help ourselves to the use of the houses. “I went up to our batteries the other night but the guns I visited had just finished firing for the time being. There was plenty of nolse, however, and the shells from the guns farther back were whistling in good shape. “We I must stop as it is too dark to see, ‘With saw was I am in charge is only tem- lots of love, “TOM.
