The Hoover food pledge campaign which came to a close on Wednesday is a success as far as Norwich is concerned, as over three thousand signed cards have been turned into tine local committee in charge and oth- CTS are still coming in. It is expect ed that the total number of pledges secured in Norwich will approximate four thousand. The opportionnent for Norwich was 440o pledges but this number is considered excessive. It was figured on the estimated popu lation with four and one-half persons comprising a family It must he con- sjdered, however, that boarding houses constitute but one family so far as the pledges are concerned. for each boarding house nets but one pledge in the campaign. Norwich has an unusually large number of boarding houses for town of it's size and tl1is fact has affected the number of pledges signed.
 Results Are Gratifying.
 The canvassers have worked spien- didly in the campaign and those in charge of the work here are greatly pleased with the result
