Throughout the towns of Put nam, Thompson, Woodstock and Pom fret teams were out canvassing for subscriptions. to make good on one of the most important war assign ments that has come to them during this year of much soliciting. That the great work that the r. M. c. A. has done in the past and is now doing at army cantonments in this country and at every point abroad where Ameri- can troops are concentrating is appre- ciated is attested by the liberality of some of the pledges already made. Nu- merous subscriptions of $50 and $100 each have been received, and if the good work so far done can be main tionment, but much work must be done to achieve that result.
 ByrOn D. Bugbee, head of the local campaign organization, on Tuesday expressed his appreciation of the zeal with which the workers are going at the canvass. He said that he realized that many of those who are assigned to canvass are very busy and have not as yet been able to give as much time as they would like to to the work. but that they are interested and Will be actively campaigning for sue cess here before the end of the work
 Late Tuesday afternoon Mfr. Bug bee had not received sufficiently com piete reports to determine the exact amount Of subscriptions to date.

Still others we're rolling over the highways in cars that had no illuminated tail lights. A few were negligent of nearly all the above requirements of the law.
 The inspectors made no arrests. They did question the men who were held up and they did warn them that the motor vehicle laws must be obey ed, for there are to be regular weekly inspections hereafter
