Mini1nu UNI Raised.
Chairman Francis Deming of the
local Mems Liberty Loan committee
stated this morning that without
doubt when the campaign closes to-
night Berlin will have raised its allot-
ted minimum amount, $4,000. The
maximum is s146,000.
The success Of the campaign re-
fleets much credit on the work that
has been done by the women's COM
mittees OF which Mrs. Charles NJ.
Jarvis of Worthington Ridge is the
general chairman. Sacrificing their
household duties and time, the women
made a thorough canvass of every
residence in Berlin and impressed the
people why they should buy Liberty
bond and help the boys lover there"
In the last campaign the American
Paper Goods company subscribed
through their New Britain bankers.
Believing that Berlin should get the
benefit OF the local manufacturers
subscriptions in the present cam
paign, the women's committee con-
ferred with the officials of the fac
tory and as a result the concern sub
scribed through the Berlin Savings
bank.
Responding to eloquent speakers
that were secured by the women to
address the employees at the American
Paper Goods Co. and the r. o. Clark,
brickyards, large subscriptions were
raised. Up to this noon 1t was re-
ported that $4,000 in bonds were TAX
en- at the American Paper Goods fac
tory and at the r. O. Clark brick
yards $S,40O was subscribed. The cam
paign at these places is still being car
ried on and when it is brought to a
close tonight hundreds of more dol
lars should be added.
The women's committees which
have been canvassing the town re-
port a total Of $60,S00. Tho amount
of work that has been done by the
women can only be realized when the
present drive Is compared with the
first campaign when only $4,000 was
secured.
The Boy Scouts. under the supervi-
sion OF Scoutmaster Samuel A. Flske
have also done splendid work, rails
Ing $7,7OO in lees than a week. Ten
Scouts won honor medals by selling
! ten bonds.
