Since Aug. Ist the local postoffice has disposed of only $8,564.63 in thrift stamps and war savings certificates, which is a big decrease since the pledges were signed and given in to the canvassers. Postmaster John P. Murphy expects that regardless of weather conditions or the season of the year the amount should reach $45,000 for this month in, Norwich, and that means that every- body wiil have to take hold in the few days that are left. Over on the front line in France the thermometer is ngt considered by our young men in the trénches. Their heroic wark goes on in heat or cold and should awaken the people at home to do their duty, which is to lend to the govern« ment, even at a sacrifice, every avail- able doliar and quarter possible. Many patriotic people have become 80 much interested that they set aside a certain amount each week for this purpoke, while others are speaking of Wwhat they are ‘asked to do and how much they give. It would be well for such people to realize that the gov- ernment is not accepting contributions —it simply asks to borrow money and will pay interest for its use.

He must be skillful in aiming and steering at the same time so that at the moment for firing the hostile plane will be in the sighting line of his machine-gun.
