CANAAN OVER THE TOP
IN CANNING CAMPAIGN
Women of This Town Have
Already Canned Over
1850 Quarts

Working with the same spirit
which characterized every patriotic
movement, North Canaan has gone
lover the top" with more than four
thousand quarts to the good in the
canning campaign. 1t is expected
that this total will be no where near
the number of jars of fruits and
vegetables canned when the season
comes to a close.
About 259 persons in this town
signed the canning pledge card, the
largest single pledge being for 400
quarts. North Canaan's allotment i'm
the statewide campaign was $4,000
quarts and to date 1850 quarts have
been canned.
In an interview at the Hartford
headquarters of the food department,
Miss Emily II. Whitney of New Ha-
ven, Chairman of the home canning
committee, said that Connections
housewives were sure to can more
than the allotted 100000 quarts OF
fruits and vegetables before the sea-
son closed. To substantiate her
statement, Miss Whitney turned to
the Canning Corps reports and point
ed to Bethlehem, Cornwall and Plain
vile which are put at the top of the
honor roll because all three of these
towns have more than trebled their
quotas.
Twelve towns, including Avon.
Berlin, Canton, East Hampton, Es-
sex, Glastonbury, New Milford, North
Coventry, Plymouth, Rocky Hill,
Salisbury and Wethersfield have moro
than doubled their allotment. Twenty
other towns in the state have ex-
ceeded their quotas anywhere from
10 to nearly 100 per cent. It was nt
first thought that the larger cities
could not be depended upon to can
relatively as much as smaller COM
munities, but Bridgeport has ek
ploded this theory by pledging over
100000 quarts.
Litchfield is the first county to go
lover the top. It's entire quota of
$4,000 has been exceeded. When
asked about the other counties, Miss
Whitney said that estimates were
necessarily subject to almost daily
revision as reports are received.
Fairfield county now looks like SUM
winner for second place. Eighty
per cent of its quota has been Mt
tanned and there are still ten towns
to hear from. Middlesex county is in
third place with 20 per cent of it's
allotment pledged and three towns
still to be heard from.

PRESIDENT URGES SCOUTS
TO AID FOURTH LOAN
Declares Their Services Have
Been Appreciated by
Whole Nation

A letter from President Wilson
urging every member of the Boy
Scouts of America to aid the Fourth
Liberty Loan, was made public at the
scout organizations national head
quarters.
''The fact that the scouts secured
1,322,649 subscriptions, representing
5000, 10000, in the previous cam
paigns, is a convincing testimonial
to the value of organized boyhood
for the kind of patriotic service that
is worth WHILE" the President said In
his letter, addressed to Colin H. Llv-
ingstone, president of the Boy Scouts.
The loan services of the boys have
been appreciated by the whole ma
ton, he added, and the country,
already proud of them" expects
effective work during the fourth
campaign.
Mr.. Livingstone replied to the
President by promising the Scouts
coming efforts would result in even
greater service than heretofore.
During the first three campaigns one
in every twenty-three subscriptions
turned into the treasury department
was obtained by the Boy Scouts of
America. Secretary McAdoo has
recommended to the governors of the
federal reserve banks and to chair
men of Liberty Loan committees
that the Boy Scout ctivities be linn
tied to the final seven days of the
coming campaign.

Fined SIS and Costs

Inspector Fuller prosecuted the
first case t be tried here for violating
the motor vehicle laws on Saturday
before Justice Ford. Louis Bianchi
was accused criminal carelessness
and the testimony of Mr.. Fuller's wit
nesses plainly indicated that the &C
cused was guilty, but because of the
fact that no mention was made in the
testimony as to who the accused was,
Attorney Roraback should have been
given the decision. Justice Ford set
aside the technicality and fined Bian-
chi IS and costs.
