A big stride was made in the l drive in Kensington yesterday and l subscriptions to the amount of $4O5 were secured in this district In the Berlin district $56 was obtained and East Berlin donated $75.

 A meeting of the solicitors will be held at the home of General Chair man Thomas w. Emerson in Ken singtop this evening at o'clock. ! Plans for making a strong drive for the remainder of the week will be dis cussed. The committees canvassing the districts are confident that Berlin will make a good showing in tEe cam paign Although there is much doubt expressed as to whether the s4,500 mark can be reached, still 1t is i thought by many that this amount will be secured.
 In compe ri son with the other towns about the state, with a similar if not larger population than Berlin, this town is making an excellent showing. The committees report that the resi- dents are responding generously and very few have refused to give. The 1 committed plans to reach every 1ndl- 1 vidual and have all donate something.
