FOR CHRISTMAS SHIP.
Park Congregational Church Among Those to contrihute-SaiIing Tues

Among the many Sunday schools all over the United States that have join ed in contributing articles of various kinds for the Christmas ship which is to sail on Tuesday morning from Brooklyn laden with garments and toys for the children of Europe is Par K Congregational Sunday school.
 The Christmas ship is really the U. s. s. Jason, with Lieutenant Com mander c. E. Courtney commanding, , warship bearing the symbols of peace. The idea, originated by a newspaper, has brought response from men, wom- en and children of every degree, and a wonderful cargo will be that which Is carried away Tuesday. Forty eight soldiers and eight non commissioned officers from Fort Hamilton are now unpackng and repaeking gifts at the Bush terminal. directed by Major F. H. Gawton, U. s. A.. of the quartermas- tef's department, so Uncle Sam himself is concerned with this Christmas plan. There are toys and warm, new cloth ing, for children of every age, and the poor widowed mothers have not been forgotten, either, for there are clothes for them, too.
 Forty-six days from today the sun of Christmas will rise, 1914 years since the birth of Christ, the little Child that came so long ago, heralded Dy the angels son Of Peace on Earth, 0OOA " III IO VIGIL VITAL VIII that sun find upon the cart hthis year?
 Thousands upon thousands of IittIe children, left without father or 3 home, will awake that Christmas morning to another day of sorrow which some of them, pitiful1y, are old enough to understand.
 All these little ones, thousands of them in each country involved in the war, will feel the shadow of it through out their lives. To all of these Christ mas comes this year with sorrow. bringing only memories of happier ChirsS9nases past, when all were to- getker, united in their humble joy. But yet, when that day dawns, and it will be 8 cold, bleak day in every coun- try, the spirit of Christmas will mani fest itself to these little ones, for the spirit of the season has spanned the seas to bring little pleasure to each child on that holy morning. Gifts, the sign of peace and good will, will not De lacking, for more fortunate people in the New World have reached ont their hands and opened their heal Is to the Old, and the children of Eu- rope, innocent victims of the war will have America as Santa Claus this winter.
 All this is possible because of the Christmas ship which sails Tuesday rom Brooklyn, N. r., laden with gar ments and toys from every part of this country for the sister and brother children of Americans on the other side of the Atlantic.

AMPLE WATER SUPPL YINDRY SEASON
Two Reservoirs of Norwich Contain 4so Million Gallons at Present-Average Daily Use is 22O,OO0 GallOns-Es- tnated That 22 900 People Are Served Rate of 100 Gallons Per Day-Some Rain Came Sunday Night.

What will make local record as a season, unless copious rains fall be- tween now and the end of the year. Superintendent John J. Corkery of the water department said on Sun day, finds Norwich fortified against any shortage in this invaluable and indispensable article.
 At the present time there are in tho two Norwich reservoirs about 430 million gallons of water, of which about $50 million gallons are in Fair view reservoir and 80 million gallons in Stony Brook reservoir, which has now been shut off so that all the city supply is now coming from Fairview. The situation is far and away the best that the city has ever known at this time in the year which Is the period when the reservoirs eustomarily reach their lowest point.
 At the present time the average daily consumption as indicated on the Venturi meters is about 2.200.00o gall Ions and as it is estimated by the water department that 22,0oo people
Norwich bulletin., 1914-11-09

are supplied from the Norwich reser- yoirs, this would figure out daily average per person of 100 gallons. In tho New London department. the daily average is figured at 15o gallons, with a total daily consumption of 3,eo0,ee0 gallons.
 Since there is no evaporation at this time of the year, the dropping of the water level in the reservoirs each week will indicate actual usage, but as soon as the fall rains begin, their efKect will be seen at once in the gradual nlllng again of the big basins.
 There was slight rain on Sunday morning and again in the evening. when a sharp showef began at about 9 o'clock and continued till nearly IT, with lighter rain afterwards through the night. It will add a small meas urement to the previous rafifall for the month so far which was If of an inch. F'airview reservoir was down ~ inches from full pond on November 3rd and Stony Brook was down 2ol inches on October 31st.
