GAMPMGN GRUWNEB WITH SUCCESS, Food Card Pledges Secured in ton Workers Secured 224 While Norwich has not yet reached the number of Food Pledge Card sign- ,ers, which it was allotted, still those “in charge of the campaign feel that the city has been pretty thoroughly canvassed and that a ready response ®y the people has been given. The total number of cards which has been received, including those that were , signed last summer, is 3,379. Some cards are still coming in and it is hop- ed by the workers that if for any rea- . son any ome has been missed. that ! they will call at the National League ; for Service rooms in the Thayer ! bullding and ask to sign a card. If. there is any one who has sign- ; ed a pledge card and has failed to re- ceive the window card or home card, they also may obtain these by going to_the service rooms. In many instances the canvassers called several times at a house . and failed to find anyone at home, which account for the failure of some to sign the card. May Apply for Buttons. At this time it is desired to have a clear understanding that those who paid ten cents for a button last sum- mer and did not receive it, may ob- tain it by applyving to Miss Louise Howe, or by writing to the Food Ad- ministrator at 36 Pearl St. Hartford, Conn. The canvassers who have secured such a large number of names in Norwich, have given many hours of time and hard labor to the securing of these names. Their willingness to work and their hearty co-operation has made the campaign the success that it . Have Supported Campaign.

A statement issued at the Stzte headquarters Saturday says: During the last tbree weeks, 177,- 095 new members bhave been added to the United States Food Administration in this state. This means that there are nearly 130,000 of the window mem- bership cards hanging ia the front windows of patriotic homes and it further meahns, considering the con- stant daily flow in to the office of the United States Food Administration of belated pledge cards, ihat eventually Connecticut will undoubtedly reach the goal of '200,000 signed . food pledge cards, which was the ambition aim of the campaign leaders in tbis state. The United States Food Adminis- tration set out to secure 22,000.000 food pledge signers and Robert Sco ville, the Connecticut Food Adminis- trator, with the assistance of George AL Landers, chairman of the Connecti- cut commitee of food supply, arrang- ed that this state should do its full part in the patriotic work of food con- servation, especiaily at its source in the Isitchen.

It means that the terms of paymeni must be made SO EASY that no one can have for an excuse for not buying, because the paymentsswere too high.
