WORKER LECTURES At Meeting of Woman’s Committee of State Council of De-] fense—Outlines Plan of Work Being Conducted Throughout the Country—Business Meeting Held: An open meeting of the womans qommlzm of the state council of de- fense was held im the council cham- ber, city hall, ‘at 3 o'clock Monday af- ternoon, Miss Helen Thomas on the work of the war council of the Y. W.'C. A ‘A short business meeting was held previous to Miss Thomas' talk at which Mrs. Albert Chase, local chairman of the woman's committee, lained the need of the carrying out the soun: cil “of national recommendations in regard to the se- curing of a stenographer to go to Washington, the. securing of women speakers, the urging of the war savings certificates and the recommendations Thomas, who spoke of the work done on the AMexican border by two very efficient secretaries of the organization and the establishment of girls’ c'lubl at various .points. The committee on trfln ‘activities appointed by rern- ment asked the Y. W. C. A. to provide 30 secretaries for those communities adjacent to the ‘camps and at present there are over 60 Y. . A. secer- taries and. more:than 1,000 organiza- tionse with 2,000 or more workers en- gaged in this work. The war council which is attending to the work is composed of a hundred or so ‘women of prominence, including wives of the hitheat officials .at Wash- ington and heads of colleges. One branch of their activities con- cists jn providing hostess houses at the camps, where the mothers and in 'l‘.lfttll‘le had ex-] holidgys onf|, wives and women visitors in general may meet the men and have some place to ta’k and to eat. There are 17 such houses in use and 36 more are under comstruction. They are built when asked for by the commandant, 'seconded by other proper authorities. Plattsburg was the first to ask and Teceive one. The very serious mblem of housing’ |the girls and women who are rapidly’ being called to fill the places of the men and who are engaged in every kind of pursuit necessary to the gov ernment is one which this committee! defense’s pians and| e:m' is trying to help solve. The question of building is considered and in very many places the Y, W. C. A. is sending women to look up suitable boarding places for them, and providing lists of sde places where they may .stay. It is rapidly assuming serious propor- tions. ‘Attendant npon the uprooting of both men and women from their homes and ordinary occupations, and sending them to new quarters and a somewhat bnormal life, are many dangers. The W. C. A. is trying to help the girls to live up to high ideals and a high standard and in so doing keep the men to_an equally high standard. Besides the work at hame it is ding secretaries abroad at the re- qm( of different governments. To Russia they are sending those to or- ganize the girls and help them in every way. In France they are estab- lishing industrial ciubs for rest and recreation, for the working conditions there are now very taxing and de- sing. ,They are establishing cafe- e b M o M rodms for ‘nurses. The forsign work is really our work for in 6rder to win this war we must make.-and keep the.women efficient for their work and we must keep them good. . The cost of the war is .2 moral cost and .we can redmce the cost by keeping up’ the morale of all’ the men and women. The War coun- cil is trying to do this for them. -For gll this work the sum of’four nillion dellars is the very low figure estimated to- cover thié expense and M Thomas hoped that Norwich would contribute a generous amount, in her usual way, as her share toward this great work. Great interest was shown at the meeting and some pledges were madeé. Mrs. Channing M. Huntington was made chairman of a committee to re- ceive and soiicit contributions for the cause. Mrs. Thomas' ‘presence in Neorwich as a gpeaker for the Y. W. C. A. was of added interest as she is a member of a well known Norwich family, her father having been pastor of the Bean Hill church for a number of years. LARGE SALES OF © ' THRIFT STAMPS REPORTED. g Rush of Christmas Pdckages at Sub-Station. Postmaster - Murphy reports- that there is a large business in the war savings certificate stamps, especially with the school children, who are buy- ing the 25 cent thrift stamp; all the teachers in the ‘public and parochia} schools have been supplied with the stamps ‘and large- sales are reportéd. Several large deposits have already been sent tc the depa A largo number of business houses who are in the habit each Christmas of giving their employes gold pieces or turkeys are this year contemplating ziving saving certificate stamps, or where the number of employes are large, each will receive ome or more turift etamps. - This is an excellent plan, *as the employe will be enabled to commence saving for future use and at the same time he'is doing his part to heip carry on ‘the war, The postal station at the Thayer building did a rushing business Mon- day and will be kept open each ddy this week till 8 p. m. It is to close at time to insure the despatch of all parcels that - eame evening.

Shortage of Coal on. the Island—Oid Fifth Company Has Been Divided. (Speecial to The Bulletin.) Fort Terry, N. X., Dec. 17.—The first real snow storm of the year struck the island during the past week and most everything is'now covered with ice or snow. The morning -after the storm the men Zot out and shoveled walks and gathered wood.for. the fires in the building. This was done on account 6§ the shortage of coal on-the island. By new orders .issued from head- quarters during the past week the old Fifth company that left Norwich the morning of July 25th has been divided into various companies. Part of the men will leave the island when the orders are received in one battery, while others will “leave in - another. Some men will stay here to help train the draft army and some are to go with the supply company of the new | regiment that is being formed. Those thot are picked to' go are anxiously awaiting orders. while those that are to etay here during the winter will hate. fo see the rest leave. One of those "that have ‘got to 'stay stated that it will be all right after the rest 30, but the day the men leave will be a-hard one on him. It is not known just when the men will leave and. it could not be stated if the date was known, but the men are hoping that the day is not far off. During the past few days the men have made out their, allotment blanks | and the insufance that they wish to take. The men are now covered by the insurance taken out by -the gov-- ernment, but that only holds good un- til February, and from then on the men must take out insurance for themselves. A number of men in the' company have taken sout. the -limited lamount, $10,000, for which the premi- ums will be taken out of-their pay each month. Thursday about.30 drafted men came to the island for_training during the coming winter. The men came from Torrington, Conn., and look to_ be in fine condition. The physical examina- tions- were given them Friday and some of them failed to pass. It is uynderstood that this lot 1s the first of several hundred men that will come ‘o the island ‘in the near future. As yet these new men have not started to [take up the duties of a soidier. Last Sunday was the first day sinde our arrival on the island that the boat has been unable to make the trip over Iollowing day the boat made but one irip on account of the rough water. On account of the boat not ing to the island a number of men who were rcheduled to return from pass that day could not get here and conse- gquently had another hay added to their time- oft. £ At present all ‘of ‘the inembers of the company -are in fine health and spirits and looking forward to the time they leave. All of the men are hop- ing that they will be able to get home at least once more : boys from here have | down-hearted about their prospects of returning home. X NEW.
