The sale of lots in Fernwood Gar
dens in this city has been grand

The campaign for War Savings
Stamps, which closed last week Fri
day, brought as final results S49, 400
in pledges, an amount decidedly en-
couraging to the workers. Practically
every family was represented at the
High School on Friday for registra-
ton of their cards, and the outcome
of the entire drive and work was very
gratifying.
Everybody come to the High School
next Tuesday evening, July 8, at 500
o'clock, to help organize patriotic
community singing society. 1t seems
that in view of all Wauwatosa has
done to show her patriotism in various
ways in the past, class in COM
munity singing would not only be very
appropriate and enjoyable, but would
doubtless prove to bring comfort to
the parents and families who have
members in service. Remember, this
is for everyone, and it is hoped the
room viii be filled with an enthusi-
astic audience ready to cooperate in
this advance movement of the city.
The American Flag and Service
Flag with 25 stars will be raised next
Sunday afternoon at o'clock on the

will be delivered by Mr.. Henry v.
Kane, of Milwaukee. He will be in
introduced by Mayor Koenig. DR..
Mulvey of Wauwatosa has written a
patriotic recitation for this occasion
which he viii deliver personally. The
singing will be under the direction of
Mrs. Z. Hardtke of Milwaukee, as
sisted by Mrs. Hans A. Koenig. Syl-
vester McAdams and st. Bernard's
Choir.
A very interesting meeting of the
Council of Defense will be held at the
High School next Tuesday, July 8, at
200 p. m. Reports will be given of
the child welfare work, from the COM
mittee on patriotism, from those who
have had charge of the pageant, and
from the clerical squad, as well as
final report about the recent drive.
Mrs. Edward Coulthard will give a
talk on thrift and her method of saw
ing for Thrift Stamps. Plans are
forming to have good letters from
boys in the different parts of the serv-
ice read aloud. The meeting is in
tended to be rather a patriotic rally
and celebration, and should be of keen
interest to every resident.
The dedication of the Center City
