 CT letter, Private Adj says that he 1 is feeling fairly well and there is no ! need to worry so far He left Norwich on Sept. 3, 1917 ia ! the first Of the draft uotas, gosng to
 Camp Devens and there being placed

PAINTS BARRELS FOR
 FRUIT STONE CoLLEcTIoNS

George c. Butts, Jr., a patriotic young Norwich boy, has painted a number of red white and blue barrels to be used as receptacles for various nut shells and fruit stones which will be used in making charcoal for gas masks. Mayor Desmond has granted him permission to place these barrels in various places about the city. There is already a barrel at the Soldiers monument and one at the Falls, and others will be. placed about the city shortly There is a great need for these stones and it is hoped the public will respond in contributing them as patriotically as the young man who has painted the barrels.
 Following is a list of the var.ous shells and stones that are needed :: Peach prune, plum, apricot, olive and cherry stones, date seeds, Brazil nuts, hazel nuts, butternuts and walnut shells
