FOURTEEN LIBERTY CHORUS UPIITS ORGANIZED Encouraging Response to Appeals Sent to Amateur and Professional Musicians. . In the short period which has elaps- ed since the movement was started to mobilize the singers of Connecticut into Liberty Choruses, fourteen units have been definitely organized in 12 cities and towns. According to a re- port made to the committee on pub- licity of the Connecticut State Council of Defense by J. S. Stevens, state musical director for the committee, the response to appeals sent to ama- teur and professional musicians in every corner of the state and the rap- idity with which steps have been taken to follow up suggestions has been re- markable. The success of varlous rallles al- ready held at which Liberty Choruses have sung is thought to have been materially contributed to by the musi- cal programme given and the enthu- siasm they have helped to arouse. The musical director expects that the movement in this state wil soon spread to other states and that the choruses now started will continue ac- tive long after the war is over. The Liberty Choruses so far launched into activity include the following: flartford Public High School Unit, No. 1, Liberty Choruses o/ Connecti- : Waterbury Choral Club Unit, No. 2: Hartford Choral Club Unit, No. 3: Berlin_Chorus Unit.

The state estate penalty tax has netted this year a total of $156,736.58.

On Monday afternoon Miss Nellie J. Campbell, home economics director for this ceunty met the administration pledge campaign committee in Mont- ville to explain the nature of the cam- foien end the method to be folowed n getting signatures o the pledge. It is_expected that nearly 1,500 pledge: will be secured in that town. The quota for tae county is 15,000. On the eve of the big nation-wide drive for food pledge cards, of which Connecticut is to sign_ 200,000, Federal Food Administrator Herbert Hoover has wired Robert Scoville an explana- tion about the weekly report cards, which are to be handled by the churches. Mr. Hoover’s telegram was in part as follows: “The weekly report cards.sent to the churches are not pledge cards but were intended to supplement the pledge card campaign by committing church members of all denominations, throughout the country, to a definite weekly diet for the eight weeks fol- lowing pledge-card week, or until the first of the year. We need the full co- operation of all church members in making the family pledge effective fiyst and_then following it with their own weekly report cards. It is hoped this explanation will remove the confusion growing out of the request of the president to postpone the pledge card campaign so as not to interfere with the Liberty Loan finish.” After the coming week the churches will hegin to issue and compile from their weekly report card summariza- tions, which will be sent to the United States food administration at Wash- ington, so that the federal officials may know as accurately as possible low well the signed pledges are be- ing observed. State Food Committee Chairman George M. Landers says that the point they emphasize is that if each family will each week save a little meat, wheat, butter; bread or su- gar the agsregate _ conservation throughout the nation will be enor- mous, perhaps sufficient to feed the troops in France and further relleve the food pinch in France.
