June 28. \ In behalf of the government to in- terest every individual in war saving and economy at this critical stage in the country’s history. and to get every individual to’save that the resources and material may be released for war production, a meeting of the Norwich District of the War Savings Enlist- ment campa_tg-n was held in' the Town hall at.2 o'clock to consider plang for the campaign which will open on June 28, the day set aside by the president as’ National War Savings Day. The meeting was presided over by H. R. Branche, district chairman, who in a-few brief words pointed out the reasons why it was necessary for the people of the community to save and for the committee to enlist everyone in the great work. Mr. Branche aiso said the work calls for a certain amount of self-sacrifice and it is by the unit of self-sacrifice that your de- votion to your town, your state, and your country will be gaugee when it comes to supplying the sinews of war. The public-spirited people of the com- munity are being called upon as never before to render service and self-sac- rifice in order that the world may be: made safe for-democracy: The 12' towns in the district were represented by many people and the chairman of the various town com- mittees. Mrs. Albert H. Chase, local chair- man of the women's committee of the counc ilof defense made a short ad- dress in which she said: Those of us who heard Misg Helen Fraser on Monday heard what glo; ous work the English women are do- ing. They are at work in every form of labor no matter how hard it may be. Today when we read how splen- didly our boys are doing on the battle front and how wonderfully they com- pare with the trained soldiers of the cother fighting forces. We women are going to do our part in such a way that we too shall compar favorably with the women of all the other coun- tries. Just now vour men are busy on the farms and neither they nor the horses can be spared. That is why it is to be the part of the women to ®o on foot from house-to house in the ‘house canvas for the war savings campaign, start out with a determination to make To Be Made From House to House—Howe.llemySpnh to Meeting in Town H-ll—Regulry Dny Is to Be thy’ T this one more. successful drive against the Germans and in that way do your part toward supporting our men at the front. Following Mrs. Chase's talk Hol/— ell Cheney, state director of the war savings movement spoke to the meet- ing and outlined the plans that are to br.- followed during the coming cam- paign. Mr.’ Cheéney said: - The president of the United States is to designate Friday, June 28, as Na- tional War Sayings day. The governor of the state is to sum- mon all individuals over 14 years of age to - appear at their nearest public school house on June 28 to register piedge to save and economize to help win the war and to agree to buy a definite amount of war savings cer- tificates as a minimum fulfillment of such pledge, Mayors and boards of selectmen will direct that the school houses or suit- able public - buildings, or if thought best, large places ‘of employment, be open as places for.the registration of war savings pledges on June 28 from 2-p. m. until 9 p. m. In addition to the above a well or- ganized ‘canvass will be made of every community to secure the signing of pledges end their registration by au- thorized ® representatives as proxies. All persons ¢ending such authorized proxies will be relieved from the ne- cessity of appearing in personto reg- ister their spledges. Rallies or speaking meetings will be held if possible in every school house and every 'public building between June 21 and June 28 and an effort will be made to make these community af- fairs spread and the gospel of the ne- cessity of personal and individual sav- ings. Secret’ary Branche has alread the city and 16,000 people whose namesg appear-in the city directory have been senf these letters. Other means of reaching every person over 14 years of age have been adopted. Schools have been notified as well as factories to co-operate in this movement. It is expected that the people of Nor- wich will come forward in this move- ment and show their patriotism as they have done in previous work for the United States.
