Try em once for breakfast §1653 N A total of §1,653.95 has been raised toj date in the local Salvation Army finan- cial campaign. This figure, which was announced Thursday night by Campaign Director Norman Hicks, is a little over one-quarter of the quota of §6,300 Which the Salvation Army has to raise in Nor- wich if the work here is to be maintain- ed the coming year as it has been dur- ing the past year. . Asked just what items make up th quota of $6,300 Mr. Hicks gave out on Thursday night for publication the fol- lowing budget of the local Salvation Ar- my corps for the ensuing twelve months: Estimated Expenses.

During the world war, the Sal- vation Army was called upon to perform a duty that had never been thought before, and they performed that duty, and won the respect and admiration of the entire world, now this very duty that they performed involved self-sacrificing work, it was not only fraught with dan- ger, but it required People whose hearts were filled with love for their fellow creatures, and it was the love of God in the hearts of the Salvation Army men and-women that made them fearless and self-sacrificing. Now this same Salvation Army is con- fronted with just as an important duty, $6 300.00 why the g for funds, Mr. imposed upon it through the demands of the public, as that demandsd upon it during the world war, the demands are so divided, sub-divided, and diversified that space would not permit of an ac- count. However, there is but one way in which the Army can respond to the call, which comes to it through these diversified channels, and that is by the approval of the public, and that appro- val can be manifested only by a sub- stantial contributién to the quota t has been given to Norwich, which is $6 300, this amount will enable the army to continue on with its work for another year. One world war of distr povert: ing, along with the is over, but the war wickedness, suffer- 26 maternity hospi- e | quota of s tals, slum se‘uemenu. homes and mli- series, is a terrible war against Wiuc the Salvation Army knows no armistice. Tiie Salvation Army has one of the' best equipped organizations in the world for this kipd of work, and what they need is your coniriution to enabje them to carry it on in the interest, of per- haps, it may be your daughter, your son, your mother, your father, your brother, your sister God only knows—Will you heed the call for funds. Here is what Cardinal-Gibbons thinks of the Salvation Army, said Mr. Hicks; Cardinal Gibbons, writing to Frank L. Lane, chairman of the national commit- tee, says: “Its splendid, self sacrificing work, not only during the world war, but for many years prior thereto, has endeared the Salvation Army to every- one.” Returns can be made to Arthur E. Story, No. 76 Laurek Hill avenue, as Mr. Story acting as treasurer for the cam- paign funds. Many of out outlying towns are tak- ing a real active interest in their local campaigns, said Mr. Hicks. For instance, the town of Old Lyme, with a quota of $150, has reporteu through its chairman, Harry T. Gris- wold, that $210 has been raised, and the committee, made up entirely of ex-ser- vice men is still going ahead. One. fea- ture of .the drive in Old Lyme is the fact. that there has not been one cent of ex- pense in the collecting of the money’ to the - committee. - The collections rahged anywhere from. one. cent from school NORWICH ODD FELLOWS OPENING NEW HOME The new home for local Odd Fellows, formerly the Chamber of Commerce building, at 324 Main street, will be of- ficially opened this (Friday) evening when the members and families of Un- cas ‘Lodge, No. 11, Shetucket Lodge, No. 27, Pamyra Encampment, No. 3, Can- ton Oneco, No. 3 and Hope Rebekah Lodge, No. 21 will assemble for a gen- eral good time.

Bullard reviewed the history of the lodge, told of its for- mation and of its growth through the century and a quarter of its existence.

Brother Bullard had searched the records and his recital was declared to be most commendable. In the evening from 6 to 8 o'clock supper was served by the women's auxiliary of the lodge. Officers of the grand lodge were present and there were addresses by Rev. J. Romeyn Danforth, Rev. Charles Howe, pastor of the First Baptist church, and Rev.

The larger concerns are holding out against the wage demand, which they claim is unreasonable and excessive. The fact that the laborers are still out on strike has without doubt hindered the builders in rushing contracts to comple- tion, but the majority of them have work; enough that does not require the laborers to keep their carpenters busy for some time.

This w a gain of 6, for the city in the last ten years, or 30.7 per.cent.,, but Mayor Morgan was quoted on Thursday as saying that he was dis- appointed and he knows there are more people in the city than that. Mayor Morgan said: “Why, the increase in 10 years is giv- en at only, The houses that were built in the rast ten years will accom- modate more than that number and there is still a great housing shortage. I knew when the census was being taken' that it wasn't being more than half done. The canvas has not been thorough.
