Boys and Qirle’ Club Work * Com- mittee. * = bl The Boys and Girls’ club. work, com- mittee of the Tolland County Farm Bureau, consisting of Miss Zoetje Sochell of North Coventry, chairman, Mrs. Fanny Dixon Welch of Columbia, Mrs. Louis Gowdy of Somers, d Mrs, Charles Warner, !llg:flnt!n of schools for Ellington, Somers, and Bolton, met at the ~Tolland County Farm Bureau office recently and map- ped out a county programme for or- ganizing thé Junior Food Army fim Tolland county. Already theer are Junior Food Army committees in eleven of the thirteen towns of the county which have been appointed by the loca] war bureaus, and through which A. C. Sheldon. the county club leader has commenced work. It is the purpose of the Ju- nior Food Army to afford all boys and girls in the state an opportunty to take an active part in the greater pro- duction_and conservation work. e work of production will consist of the raising of corn, potatoes, general gar- densfi poultry, pigs, calves and sheep; the conservation activities will include home cookery, canning, drying. salt- ing or otherwise preserving. Though actual records kept the average of foodstuffs produced by a boy or girl in this work amounts to slightly over $20. Last vear in Connecticut there were 13,000 boys and girls under 18 vears of age enrolled in some form of food production work. The State Junior Food Army committee plans on enrolling an army ef 50,000 this year to raise and conserve food products valued at $500,000- to $1,000,000. A, J. ‘Brundage, state club leader, said that from indications where the enrollment has already been taken, there will be a much larger enroliment than 50,000, as first estimated. MANY BRITISH SUBJECTS ARE NOW ENUST'NG Lieut. Todd Forced to Double Staff at Recruiting Office. Lieutenant J. J.

The response has been gene: through- out the country for ths average Brit- isher has no doubt of the reality anl after cffects of the draft. Manufacturers -throughout tha state have been most generous in aiding the mission, realizice that these men could easily be substituted. They also -are correct in their opinion that the fugsre of the Britisher is at stake whether he intended to stay in this country permanently or not, as these men can- not recover themeelves after the law goes into effect. The Canadian army pays the best for dependants who may receive mearly as high as $70 a month. Regarding ages, the range “is from 18 to G years, the elderly men being taken for the Roval Engineers, Trades- men of every description are needed as there is much to be done behind the lines in Belgium and France in rebuilding the devastated cities.

Shortly aft- er the injunction was issued vgflm;e Greene & motion to dissolve the tem. porary injunction was filed by the d¢ fendants and the matter was heard be- fore Judge Shumway who took the case under cansid The memorandum of decision fol lows: ¥ The questions presented by the mo- tion to dissolve the temporary injunc- tion relate mainly to the sufficiency of the notice for the meeting, at which the vote of the church was taken ap- proving of the merger of ' the two churches, namely the Broadway and the Second Congregational. It appears from the evidence and I find that the notice given was in accordance with the custom ang usage of the church, LIBERTY LOAN TOTAL ° ! 18 NOW $316,800 Subscriptions Must Pick Up if Nor- wich “Hopes to Raise Quota. Plans for the big Liberty Loan raily which is to be held on Saturday in the town hall are progressing rapidly and the rally promises to be the big- gest mass meeting yet held in this city. The committee are very fortu- nate in procuring three speakers, Herbert Knox Smith, wha was commissioner of _corporations during Roosevelt's and Tait’s admin- istrations, Lieut. J, W. Nosworthy of the 73rq Battalion of Roya] Highland- ers, and Rev. M. McLean Goldie, who has been in Russia doing Y. M. C. A. work. Mr. Smith is a prominent speaker and has been heard in this city sev- eral times and always made a good impression on his audiences. Rev. Mr. Goldie needs no introduction to Nor- wich people as he recently spoke to a large meeting in Davis theatre. Rev. Mr. Goldie has a message for the peo- ple of Norwich that comes straight from the shoulder and tells facts ahout the needs of this country and the ne- cessity of the Liberty loan. Lieut. J. ‘W. Norsworthy has been over there and having recently returned knows what the soldier in the trenches needs and what encouragement the Liberty loan means to the boys Who are mak- ing the supreme sacrifice. These three speakers constitute a programme that will be hard to duplicate at a public meeting. Before the rally there is to be ‘a short street parade by the loval com- panies of Home Guards and it is hoped that the Home Guard companies in surrounding towng who have been in- vited to parade will be present. One band has been procured and it is hoped that another can be secured for this worthy object. There will be & short concert in the hall preceeding the rally. Too much cannot be said about the necessity of subscribing t¢ the Third Liberty Loan. While the citizens of Norwich have been coming forward with their subscriptions and up ta date 1175 subscriptions have been se- cureq amounting to $316,800 , there must be a decided increase in the rate of subseriptions if Norwich would &o over the top as in the brevious cam- paigns. Norwich's quota is $1,250.000 and at present only about a duarter of the amount has been subscribed with one week and a half gome. At this rate with only two and a half weeks to go Norwich will fall short of her allotment by several thousands of dollars. Don't wait: get that sub- seription in early, Is the slogan of the campaign. Let everyone who can sub- scribe today and raise the total of subscriptions from one-quarter up to one-half.

Made Trip Through Eleven States:. ‘The Natick Bulletin of recent date had the following interesting letter from Charles Whittaker of Natidk, now in the United States service, de- scribing his trip from Waco field), Texas, to Garden City, New York. Mr. Whittaker is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Whittaker, for- merly of Norwich and grandson of Charles Whittaker of this city. Dear Folks:—We left Waco at 5 o'- olock Feb. 27 in weather just as un- favorable as when we first arrived there. Then it was in snow with mud six inches deep, but when we left it was in the worst sand storm of our experience and you can imagine how high our spirits ran when the order finally came to leave. Arrived finally in our respective coaches, looking more like coons than anything else, but after a good wash took the appearance of white men again. Our coach is the best of the lot and we are served two good cook- ed meals a day. There are three squadrons in this train and the same amount left each day for two consecutive days previous to our ieaving. The trip has been wonderful and as different from the one down as black from white. We ‘were routed from Waco to Dallas in a semi-circle and then turned east to |l Marshall and northeast to Texarkana, ‘We arrived at that place about noon on Feb. 28 and were taken off the train and given a half hour's march. Then we. continued to Arkadelphia and Little Rock. At the last named | b place there is an infantry camp of about 25000 and the city is cut into two portlons by the Arkansas river on which T saw a number of stern wheel- ers tied to the banks awalting the cot- ton geason. On the morning of March 1st I woke up just as we passed over |bee) the Mississippi river and eéntereq the city of Memphis. The banks of the river are very low and we crossed a wonderful bridge which seemed miles long. But all the streams and rivers e of a yellow color and not very in- viting to take a bath in, should one desire to. Memphis was a place of consider- able size, but I guess cotton was its chief product, raw and manufactured. I had hoped that I might see a cotton field in bloom but the season is too early and only old plants are stand- ing in the flelds. Arrived at Lexington, we had an- other march and received much fun. The place was a ome-horse joint and I guess everything closed down and the whole town turned out. -But the thing that caused the greatest looking girly (and they were dressed right up to snuff, too) came down the sidewalk “with a big hog following C. | them' and ‘the blooming thing followed ford; Raynard B, McKnight, New Ha- ven; Howard 8.

The first ladies’ prize, was won by Mrs. Charles Harkness,|the gen- tleman’s prize by Mrs. Willlam Mit- chell, and the conselation prizes by ‘Mrs, Wooley and Gilbert Hewitt of Norwich. Light refreshments were served. A very pleasant evening was spent by all present, and it was &e- cided to hold another whist in the near future. Charged With Statuory Ra Sheriff Wilsox of Kingston notified the local police Tuesday evening that he had in custody a Portuguese who was wanted by the local authorities. The man was arrested in Wickford, where he had landed on a barge on which he was employed. He Is charg- ed with statutory rape. It is claimed that the offense was committed last fall and that he left town on the barge. An officer will be sent to King- szn& this morning to bring the man ba ' Have Returned to Camp Deve Sergts.

Then we crossed the Tennesseo and passeq through Franklin and Into the city of Nashville, We stopped for a couple 6 hours at this place and though we couldn't leave the train, we received a very cordial greeting from the Red Cross who pa¥sed around cigarettes, newspapers, etc. They were a prefty bunch of nurses ang many of the boys wanted to fall out of the windows and see if they couldn’t get hurt and never get well. At § o'clock in the morning on March 2nd T was watching the city of Ohat~ tanooga pasg before us. After break- fast the prettiest scenery of the whole trip commenced to develop, It was in passing through the Appalachian Mountains on the run from Tennesses to Georgia. The plains of Texas srow monotonous but in this section there was scenic beauty everywhere. We would climb the mountains like a snake ang such curves (all through Georgia) I never saw before. Then we would shoot over trestles and the valley way. below us. Take another horse-shoe bend, descend .and climb again. Everywhere great forests of Georgia pine greeted our view as far as_the eve could see. en we reached Atlanta we were ordereg out of the train and marched to the Y, M. C. A. This was a very big building and able to accommodate all of us with a locker and shower bath, We spent about three hours at this place and then went back to the train and haq supper. Our route turned sharply north from bere and we again hit the Appalach- ian Mountains and followed the ridge on the east side for miles. Then it began fo get dark and the numer: forest fires were wonderful to see, the flames climbing the pines from base river 5 already under ducts up abou the gardens, 4 of the houses lhm and 1 don't bel e epe 2 mature age 1y bey ure age is beyond me, a white man couldn’t exist their way of getting by.

The country abounded with loa cabins and the mountains were rightly named—they stéod out in bold relief against the sky and were covered with vast for- ests of pine trees whence the blueness from a distance. At Lynchburg, Va., we again hag a handout of cigarettes by the Red Cross. and then continued along the foothills to Waynesboro. Here we changed our course and, as I took my post at second relief, ‘as guard, we came to the city of Washington, 12 midnight. 1 saw the capitol as cleart ly as theugh it was daylight because the lighting outside of the building was directed against it. We laid at Washington until 1. and at 2 o'clock a. m. T was relieved and went to bed. With luck with me again 1 went on my third guard relief at 6 o'clock and five minutes later we swept into Philadelphia March 4th. “Philly” sure is some place and in- dustries of magnitude are located Remaineq there about an hour there, and a half. Then we, passed through Trenton, N.

Johnson of § Grove Place, has received the following let- ter from Harold R. Avery, S. Na- val Aviation Forces, now in France: Dear Sister and Brother: Will write a few lines tonight to let you all know that I am feeling fine and hope you all are the same. We cer- tainly are having great weather over here, only fwo rainy days since we arrived. I don’'t wear any of my Red Cross outfits now it is so warm. Some of us boys went over and took a swim in the Atlantic the other day. We are situated on a bay right in the centre of a great summer resort. It js like Atlantic City, only smaller. Across the bay from us is a city and most of the houses are of differgnt colored ricke. “Just at sundown the city looks like one beautiful picture across the bay. The scenery is beautifu] over here. Also the girls. These French eves are enough to set anyone dippy. What do you say to a French wido for a sister-in-law huh?——. 1 have n in three camps so far and I like the one that I am in now best of them all. I am here permanently, se¢ I am satisfied, There are only a few of us here now, but expect more soom. ‘We are now building up the camp. We &re putting up the portable barracks together and putting up the hangars for the machines. he rest is done by the French government. We only work eight hours a day.- Evenings we go anywhers we want to: also Saturday or Sunday, There ls a dif- ference of six hours Dbetween the States and France since they put the clocks ahead. Some difference! Please do not Worry over me, sister, as I am nowhere near the firing line; haven't even heard a shot since I have been here, That is some gun that the Huns have that carries 75 miles. They say that the kaiser drops a souvenir into Paris every fifteen minutes. He did that for about eight hours. Probably you will read of it before you get this. Sometimes I wish that I had gone in- to the army where there {s a little more excitement. Not that I am homesick for I am satisfied the boys are all Jolly’ good fellows. It was just a month ago today since we landed in France and if I see as much of it according to the length of time that I have been here as I have seen far. T will have something to tell you-all about. I am trying to learn wozpeak French and when I have real good Iuck T get all of one word futo a sentence correctly.
