WAR SAVINGS THERMOMETER

Is 10 RISE TCDAT That war savings stamp thermome- ter on Franklin square, erected by the courtesy of the Norwich New London Sign Co, is expected to register $32D,- 000 some time this morning when the returns are counted up from the work of the teams that will make reports. General Chairman E. 0. Rodier point ed out on Tuesday mat there is a good substantial reason now for buying war savings stamps this month and not wait ing until after the first of January, for the purchaser will save a year in the maturity date of the stamps by so doing. Stamps bought this (month for s423 have four years to run to maturity date, but stamps bought next month will not mature for five years. This makes it an advantage to fill up all partly filled books so as to save this time on the maturity date, Many of the teams reported on Tues day while there were a good number that were at work but made no report at the headquarters in the Thayer building. Here Mrs. A. H. Lathrop, who is directing the women's com mittees in the drive, had assisting her Mrs. J. c. Atterbury, Mrs. Martin Hitchon- Mrs. Charles Twist Mrs William Kramer, IT,. Mrs. J. W.
