Latest Meeting Of Bridge

Patriotic fervor characterized the
meeting of Bridgeport aerie of Eagles
at its meeting last evening, called to
discuss the purchase of Liberty bonds
on behalf of the Bridgeport branch Of
the nation wide organization.
It was voted that the aerie, as a
unit, should purchase $1,000 worth OF
Liberty bonds, and the sense of the
meeting was that the individual mem
bers should strive to purchase in ad-
dition as much as they could, as indi-
viduals!
Besides the topic Of. Liberty bonds,
the aerie discussed various war meas
ures which will be taken up at the
state convention in Waterbury next
Friday Among them was the suspen-
sion Of dues Of members who enter
the service of the government; the
imposition of per capita tax of 10
cents on each member, in addition to
the regular dues, by which an addi-
tionai insurance of $1,000 will be
given to each member wf1o-enters the
government service.
