Col, C, W. Gale, who is the general chairman, presided, and in the absence of Abner | Schwartz, the secretary, who is sick, | Thomas H.'Beckley was secretary pro | tem. = “In_opening the meeting Col. Gale emphasized the importance of the work that is to be carried out and the need of complete co-operation and ex- pressed his confidence that Norwich, | s it always does, would do its part and go over the top as usual. He called upon James L. Case, the cam- paign director, to explain the plan of campaign that had been mapped out. Mr. Case spoke of attending the New [England meeting in Boston this week 'at which John R. Mott presided and which was attended by six of the Norwich men. Mr. Mott brought out the point that the influenza epidemic, far from proving a handicap to the campaign, should prove an incentive to greater exertions. for if cities suf- fered as they have, what of the boys in_camp over there? Three months ago, Mr. Mott said, it had been considered that $170,500,000 would be sufficient for the’ seven or- ganizations which are to share the fund, but it can be seen now that this sum will be inadequate, for one organ- ization which is to share the fund finds that its portion will be exhausted by June. another by July. another by August and another by September. It will therefore require 50 per cent. more than was at first thought would be needed. Otherwise there would be | need for another campaign in July. | The constant increase in the size of | the army, the coming winter in camp or in campaign, and the increase in the size of the navy are all making the need for more mone: Las{ Tuesday in Washington Mr. Mott conferred with the war council committees of the legislature and with President Wilson, to whom he showed the situation as it is now en, and President Vilson sanctioned and pass- ed his approval on the proposition to make the fund for the united war work 250 million instead of the former figure. Director Case told the meeting that the Norwich district quota had been $60,000. but when these facts had heen shown to them. the meeting voted that | Norwich ought voluntarily to accept and raise its quota to $100,000. Campaign Plan. Director Case then explained the campaign. plan. There are to be nine teams, each to solicit piedges in the amount designated to it as follows: Team A, $2,500: Team B, $1,000: Team Team F, $50: Tea $10; Team 1, $3 Each team wili have a captain a as many members as are necessa: effect the conditions of the campaign for the various amounts. The women's team will have as its chairman Mrs. Helen B. P. Huntington and all solicitation of women will be by the women’s team. Ex-Mayor Allyn L.

It was esti- | mated at Boston. that the boys and girls would in this way raise one- ienth of the whole amount. There will be a colored ‘team, .a Polish team and a Jewish team to work among the people of their re- spective races and nationalities. i In adopting the slogan of “Over the | Top in One Day” the committee voted | to have all pledges to meet the Nor- wich figure in on Monday, Nov. 11 - On Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 2 and 3, there Wil be special services in the churches and synagogues: relating to the campaign.’ On Sunday afternoon, Nov. 3, there will be a mass meeting at’a place to'be announced later: at which out of town speakers will make addresses.

Thomas McDonald and Fred Bray of Voluntown were among those who at- tended the meeting here on Friday night, pledging the cooperation of their community.

CHRISTMAS PACKAGES FORN SAILORS AND MARINES There have been many inquiries in regard to sending Christmas gifts to men in the navy and we are glad to print the following, which has just been received: The following instructions regarding the manner of packing and shipping naval service, both in home waters and abroad, have been prepared by the bureau of supplies and accounts of the navy department: . 1. Packages forwarded by parcel post must comply: with the postal reg- ulations and should be inclosed in sub- stantial boxes with hinged or scre top cover to facilitate opening and in- spection. 2. All boxes shipped by express are limited to 20 pounds in weight. should measure not more than two cubic feet in yvolume, be of wood, well strapped, and have a hinged or screw top to fa- cilitate opening and inspecting. 3. No perishable food products other than those inclosed in glass jars should be packed in parcel post or express shipments. 4. All mail matter shoul be ad- dressed as now prescribed by the pos- tal regulations. All express packages should be forwarded in care of Supply Officer, Fleet Supply Base, Twenty- ninth St. and Third Ave., South Brook- Iyn, N. Y. 5. All packages must be piainly marked with the name and address of the sender, togetter with a notation indicating the nature of the contents, such as “Christmas box” or “Christ- mas present.” 6. The supply officer at New York will cause each express package to be opened and carefully examined to see that nothing of an explosive nature or other dangerous character is for- warded. 7. The shipment of Christmas pack- ages for vessels abroad should be made 50 as to reach New York as early as possible and not later than Nov. 15th. The war department regulations for Christmas parcels for soldiers over- seas will be observed in the case of every marine whose address is Ameri- can Expeditionary Force. This indi- cates that the marine is serving over- seas in an army capacity and. tempo- rarily detached from the navy. For all other marines, whether in training or serving actively in this country, at naval posts and stations, at home and abroad. or on ship duty, navy regulations will govern.

Hockey and soccer practice are the moods of the moment and all is afifi-t- ter in preparation for the interclass games to be arranged by the sports committee of the athletic association within the next: week. The faculty have accepted the challenge of the senior class to play a game of soccer and the game will take place some time between now and the Thanksgiving vacation. The students are divided into two sections, blue and white, un- der supervision of section captains and | leaders, and are the basis of all ath- letic contests in the college vear. Quarantine is still the order of the day and shows little prospect of being anything else for some few weeks still. Students are still walking back and forth to town and trolley cars are for- bidden fruit. . At the coliege everything fine. There are no cases of sickness and the ranks of students are com plete. There have beén no class meet- ings and freshman class elections have been considerably delayed. Miss Mary E. Barnicle is listed as a contributor to the publication of the Modern Language association for the current month. The title of her thesis is The Exemplum of the Penitent Ursurer. Several of the college students will be represented in the next issue ‘of the college anthology which will ap- pear in December.
