RED CROSS SEALS
 SOLD BY MILLIONS
Connections Ranks Third in Number of Stamps Disposed of-Nor~ieh Sale Excellent.

The sale of the Red Cross holiday seals has increased so tremendously in this state this year that Connecticut now ranks third in the number sold, New York and Ohio alone leading this state. It was said at the office of the tuberculosis commission at the state capitol Tuesday that over half mill
 lion seals have been sold from the Hartford office alone. In Norwich the report of the sale of the stamps will not be available until after the first of the year. but the work done by the state tuberculosis commission and by the local Red Cross workers contrib uted in an important way towards swelling the total. Thousands more have been sold by the great number of agents distributed throughout the state The last report from the agents showed a sale of 100000 seals. and 1t is expected that the total sale for the year will amount to S.000,000 seals. The increase over last year is appar- ent when 1t is realized that more stamps were sold in the first week this year than were sold in the whole of last year. The stamps sold this year should result in at least $3o,o00 for tuberculosis relief in Connecticut.

POLE SNAPPED OFF
 WHEN HIT BY WAGON

 and Trouble Followed.

Wednesday morning about g o'clock an ash cart driven by George E. Swan ton, who was trying to make the hill on York avenue near Ripley Hill began to slide and crashing into an electric pole. snapped off, tearing down the light wires. The accident was caused by the icy condition of the street. Driver Swanton was standing in the cart when the pole fell strew- ing the wires about him and fright ening the horses causing them to run. dragging the broken pole with them. The city barn and the Gas & Electric company were notified of the accident by telephone. The lineman's auto re- sponded to the call and made tenn porary repairs. Their machine got up the hill all right. but it was feared that 1t would slide going down and thus cause more trouble rope fall was arranged and the machine was let dewn the hill, reaching the bottom in sa~,ty- Temporary arrangements were made for lighting the avenue and n new pole will be erected later.

WAR HITS CHURCH MISSIONS.
Baptists Strive Hard to Meet Roeke-
 feIIer, Gift Conditions.

The diversion of funds to Europe for the relief of war sufferers is said to be making it difficult for some American missionary. and other church societies to get along. At the close of their fiscal year last spring three Baptist organizations, the Baptist Home Mis- sion, the Bantist Foreign Mission and the women's Foreign Mission, were in debt $276,00
 John D. Rockefeller. who gives to the home and foreign missions about S10o, 900 each annally, gave $50,00O toward clearing the debt last spring. and offered $50,000 more on Dec. 31. 1914, provided certain conditions were met It is understood that the con ditions are that the debt shall be cleared by that time, and Baptists are putting forth every effort to obtain $10,0O0, which is the amount due.
 The Presbyterians are reported also to be makinp a great effort to clear up a deficit which is said to be due to the war.

I5O YEARS WITH SAVINGS SOCIETY
Secretary and Treasurer Costello Lippt Completes Half Century There Todsy-Began as Clerk on Jan. I, 1865 and Upward Progress Has Been In Present Position Since 1878

a conspicuous success in banking, but In the political field, in a. social way, and in religious life he has taken prominent part in affairs of Norwich Killingly, the son of Norris c. and Eliza M. Lefhngwell Lippitt. and was 10 years old when his parents moved to Norwich. He was a student at the Norwich Free Academy and grad uating there, he went to Wesleyan uni- versity, where he received his B. A. in 1864. In October of that year he took his first position, that of clerk in charge of the stock book in the Thames National bank, of which Charles Bard was then the cashier. While he was there the capital stock of the bank was raised from $500.O00 to $1,000,0 ,000, not however primarily because of his presence there. On January 1, 1885, he took a clerkslfip with the Norwich Savings society, when Charles Town send was then the president, and Ben jamin Huntington secretary and treas urer. MT. Lippitt rose from one posi- ton. to another until in 1878 he suc- ceeded Mir. Huntington as secretary and treasurer. That position he has held to the present day. and he has seen four other presidents come and go, Franklin Nichols, Lafayette s. Eos ter, Amos W. Prentice and John Mitchell. Charles Bard who succeed
 ed the last. has retired. but is very dA4hCb cll0 DISNCI 1S the present head of the Savings so-
 ciety, the second largest savings bank
 in the state.
 A staunch republican. MT. Lippitt had kept clear of the entanglements of public office until in 1908 he was
 elected mayor of Norwich by a. hand
 some margin of votes. That office he
 followed with the position of state treasurer, and filled 1t with ability.
 Now he is not only safely out of pol
 itics again himself. but has succeeded in ~etting his son, Norris G. Lippitt,
 out too. he remarked Wednesday,
 He was the first president of the
 board Of trustees of the Norwich State hospital, secretary of the board of
 trustees of the Norwich Free Academy, secretary and treasurer of Eliza Hun
 tington Memorial home. He is presi- dent of the Merchants National bank He was a charter member of St. James lodge, F. and A. M., of this city, and
 has attained the 33rd degree and held
 many important Masonic offices. He was one of the leaders in organizing the Trinity NJ. E. church, became pres | ident of the board of trustees and is
 superintendent of it's Sunday school up to the present day. For 40 years
 he was organist in the Methodist churches of this city.
 MT. Iippftt holds that there is a price which every man must pay for his place and success in life. That ] price he has found to be work"

Today marks for Costello Lfppitt the completion of fifty years of uninter- rupted service with the Norwich Saw ingS society. It was on the first day of January. 1865, that as a young man, just out of Wesleyan, he began a career as banker and pubhc-minded citizen that have gained him honor and position far beyond his own commu- nity. Entering at the bottom, his pro gross upward has been steady and deserved and today, as for the last 36 years, his position as treasurer makes for the unfailing stability and for the further growth of the Norwich Saw ings society.
 The rounding of half a century of such enduring business achievement is, however, taken calmly by Treasurer Lippitt. He does not intend to make any outward celebration of the day quite naturally and as a matter of course the weeks have heightened out into months and the months into years as he has been steadily at work, and quite as much a matter of course this fiftieth anniversary comes along. Therefore MT Lippitt will observe it naturally, without departure from his usual way of life-in fact, he said Wednesday afternoon as he sat at his desk in the treasurer's office. he was almost planning to fill out a hundred years there before he really cele- brated.
 MT. Lippitt's life has been one of many interests. Not only has he had
