great credit is due for the direction of the organization which has pro- duced such gratifying results. The other members of Mrs. Jarvis cOm- mittee are: Mrs. George Dodd, Miss Alice Huston, Miss Florence Webster, Miss Norton, Mrs. Mansfield. Mrs J. Cashman; Bryan Atwater, William Fowler and Arthur Bushman. MT. Deming is chairman of the mems committee while Miss Marjorie Moore heads the Kensington committee, with Mrs. R. o. Clark in charge of East Berlin and Mrs. Frank Bacon at Beckley.
 In view of the flying start given the loan the first two days, there is every reason to believe that the quo- ta will not only be attained, but over subscribed. Berlin can be proud of itself if $77,OO is pledged, as that is considerably larger a sum than the town has been called upon to fur nish in previous loans.
