Complaint had been made, it is stat- ed by those interested, that the eBit firm ‘was not selling regulation kosher ndeat, -and the synagogue has invited Rabbi Spitz, the head rabbi:in New York, here to settle the question. The meeting proceeded quietly at the outset, when Rabbi Spitz_first spoke in support of the Liberty bonds and of war conditions as related to the Hebrews. When he took up_ the subject for which he had come here partieularly and pronounced against GREENEVILLE the meat that was being sold by Sam- uel Beit & Sons, it is claimed that Sremais members of the: firm attempted’ to Regular Meeting of St. George's Seo-|maje an attack on him.

Higgins . { has beén chairman and Mrs. S. W. Se- vin secretary, completed its labors late Saturday night after the final reports from the theaters had come in and made the statement that the work of the women had raised the grand total of $204,750 in Liberty honds which had been taken by 796 subscribers. ‘When asked how the campaign had impressed her, Mrs. Higgins said that she was entirely satisfied with the part that the women of Norwich had taken in the campaign just past. The one , | feature that stood out most promi- nently in her mind was the complete and absolute harmony that existed be- tween all committees and individuals and the eagerness with which they re- sponded to any and all suggestions of- fered them by their chairman or by the men's committee. The effectiveness of the work of the committee of four-minute women speakers was proven when it was found how few of the subscriptions that have the stamp of women's com- mittee were found unhonored in the banks Saturday.

Late in the campaign the suggestion was made that someone should look after the theaters, giying the many at- tending at three places an opportu- nity to subscribe, thus following up closely the work of the Four-Minnte speakers, while the effect of their vig- orous talks remained.
