PLEDGE CAMPAIGN
 DRAWING TO CLOSE
Thus Far 7,6OO Families Favor
 Hoover Idea

A total of 7.5O0 signed pledges for food conservation had been received at the pledge canvass headquarters at o'clock last night. not including the days work of about 20 canvassers still to be returned. The time re- quired to cover the city has been longer than anticipated owing to the many houses where no one was at home when calls were made. As many as four calls have been made in some instances without obtaining entrance.
 In order to reach such households and to give people who refused to sign another chance to join the U. s. Food Administration, all district re- strictions will be abandoned from now until the end of the campaign, and volunteers from the young ladies in the High school. the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts will visit the homes where window cards arc not displayed and will invite the house. wives to sign. Pledges can also be signed at the Dickinson Drug Co.,. and W. H. Crowelrs drug store, where window cards will be given. or at the Bow Scout headuuarters in the Levine block.
 Solicitors report 6 quickened inter- est in the campaign, and a more gen. era1 understanding of what the pledges mean, than was the case a week ago. The ministers from the pulpits of both Catholic and Pro- testant churches are to be given credit for much of this popular knowledge. There is also much credit due to D. w. Everett, manager of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. and J. c. Callaghan, manager of tho John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co.,, who have permitted their solicitors to take an active part in the work. Many of these men speak foreign languages, and they have been able to close with people whom the English speaking volunteers could not make under stand They have been also assigned one section of the city where the ladies could make comparatively little headway, and have secured very large proportion of signatures.
 It is confidently expected that New Britain's quota will have been se- cured when the time for the cam paign expires. ....
 The Boy Scouts have also been or dered out to work Saturday in clean ing up this campaign work.
