WAS DELEGATE TO
 WATERWAYS CONVENTION

John W. Snyder of Baltimore, Mary land, was the week end guest of his sister, Mrs. William Carutners. Mr. Snyder came from Boston where, as delegate from the Baltimore Cham Der of Commerce, he had been attend ing the eleventh annual convention of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Asso- ciation.
 This association for years past has been urging upon the American people the advantage of chain of modern waterways along the Atlantic sea board, connecting the various ports rivers, bays and sounds into one sys- tenn of transportation and within one area, for strategic purposes.
 The severe cc>1 shortage throughout the seaboard area. has demonstrated the overburdening of the railroads and the servlce that can be renoered by these waterways.
 Attacks by enemy submarines along the Atlantic have also emphasized the service that might have been given by a system of protected waterways in side the coast line. War Legislation has placed under federal control not only the railroads of our country, but many of it's best waterways, so fol the first time in Americas history they are being given chance to show their full measure of usefulness Tnf railroad administration has already taken over a considerable portion O waterways, the Delaware and Raritar Canal and the New York barge canal This is only a step and the coast vii not be secure. until our commerce a. well as our naval vessels may move l unhampered from Boston to Beau. | fort, and nothing should be left tn. i done to provide safe passage in inlan. waters for our coastWise commerce. 1 The plan has been in part adopted l by congress but most of the actua construction has yet to be done.

The deaths that occurred were all from cases that developed several days ago, the period when the epi- deInic was at it's worst.

PHOTOS OF SOLDIERS
 AND SAILORS ADMIRED

The patriotic window display ar ranged by the Porteous & Mitchell company in connection with the open ing of the fourth Liberty loan proved to be a great ttraction and all day Saturday the sidewalk in front of the window was thronged with an inter- ested crowd of spectators.
 The display, which consists of the photographs of Norwich boys in war service, is well arranged. Due to the fact that the number of photographs
 received all expectations. it was inn possible to show them all in the large window given over for the display While it was gratifying to the man | agement to have such generous re- sponse to the invitation for the loan Of photographs for this Gallery of Honor" it was also a. matter of deep regret that it was impossible to place them all on exhibition on the opening day of the Liberty loan campaign. | Immediate arrangements, however,
 were made to devote one or more ad- l ditiona1 windows to this display and these windows will be ready early this week
 Many of the pictures to be seen in 1 this additional display are photographs l of some of the best known Norwich
 boys in the service and were among those first received, but as they were
 not classified in the order in which
 they were brought in, it was impossi- ble to show them in that order 1 When the exhibit is completed Ii will form one of the most unique and l intensely interesting displays ever ar
 ranged for & patriotic purpose and no
 Norwich citizen can look upon that array of photographs of Norwich boys l who are reresenting them in this great
 war for the preservation of human liberties without being inspired to up
 hold and support them by every means in their power and to the utmost linn it's of their ability.

 believed the results for the day would
 approximate s400,oO0 at least, and
 might go well over the mark.

 turn in over s50.00o in subscriptions All figures for the first day, however, are liable to revision and may pro- duce some startling increases in the sums mentioned.
