Mr. Stark- veather said and he was hopeful that the full amount of the apportionment, £3,000, would be obtained, if giving could continue on the same scale that has marked the werk during the first half of the week. Mr. Starkweather called attention, however, to the state organization's desire to make Connecticut’s appor- tionment $3,000,000, instead of the of- ficial two million, so if Danielson does !its share in measuring up to what the | state organization expects, $7,500 must be obtained in this distric OBITUARY.

The Putnam district’s quota of $7,- 500 was passed Thursday in the whirl- wind pleaging of subscriptions in all sections of the district. With only today and tomorrow remaining the so- licitors are looking now to the piling up of a biz oversubscription. The conservative members of the commit- tee directing the work in the district expect that final figures will be at least $10,000,000, but they hope to make it $15,000. Several mills had not sent in re- ports up to Thursday night, and it is éxpected that when Lhesc reports of subscriptions do com¢ in the grand total will be given a big hoost. One of ‘the remarkable features of the campaigning is that of the sec- ond-giving on the part of numbers of people. Early in the week they made a contribution, didn’t seem sfied with what, they had done, so are now coming back and adding more money. The Putnam district is making a glorious record in this drive and il surpass by far the liberal giving that marked the first camvaign here. Even children are contributing their mite and scores of persons are being found who contribute ‘without being asked to do so. gr ILL IN FRANCE Member of What Was L Company, Willimantic, Patlent' of Dr. J.

One of the most promising move- ments yet planned to assist farmers in_their lahor problem seems to be the United States Boys' Working Re- serve. l'n'lel the direction of the committee’ on boys for farm service of the state council of defense, Con- necticut boys will be enrolled and trained for work ° o farms. These boys will be from' sixteen to lwenl\' s of age, and after two weeks’ training at special camps arranged for the purpose, will be sent out to de- sirable farmers who make application. The hoys have been carefully selected because of their physical fitness and are morally clean and desirable. A traifiing camp of one hundred boys was started at the State Agri- cultural College, Storrs, Tuesday, May 21, and boys will be available June 2 They will be given general instruction in the handling of horses, milking, use of machinery, and as much actual field work as possible. After the boys are placed on farms they will be visited by a member of the committee on boys. for f4rm service, whose duty will be to look after the welfare of the boys and see that they are rendering proper service to the farmers. So far'as possible, the movement contemplates supplying labor for whatever period of time it may be needed. Boys from these training camps are to receive not less than one dollar per working day and board, and it is expected that if they show themselves worthy of more, the far- mer will recoghize it and pay them |accordingly. A farmer taking one of these boys will be expected to give him a good home, and, in general, look out for him as_he would a boy of his own. Farmers in Windham county wish- ing to avail themselves of this op- portunity- to secure labor during the summer months should apply at once to the county farm bureau, Putnam, Conn, COLCHESTER Energatic Committees for Red Cross Drive—Calvary Episcopal Church Gives Successful Entertainment— Norwich Officers Hold Courtmarti The following are the committee who are conducting the house to house canvass for the Red Cross drive this week 1 an effort to raise the $1500 quota from- this town: South Main street and Hall's Hill avenue, Mrs. A.
