TELECRAPHERS
 GET "BUzzERS"
 FROM '. M. C. A.

Inability to get orders filled has handicapped Director Hanson of the State Trade School on John street in fully equipping the class in war telegraphy that is now holding regu- lar evening sessions there. He promptly obtained everything needed except buzzers. The order for the buzzers went in several weeks ago. with those for the other apparatus, but so far these instruments have not come. MT. Hanson tried various ex- pedients and found just enough of them to keep the men going, but more were and are urgently needed and, like most orders for goods these days are expected "any day now"
 When this condition was brought to the attention of Secretary W. S. Lacey of the Y. M. c. A. he promptly came to MT. Hanson's relief. The Y. M. c. A has an outfit of this kind that is not now in use, and MT. Lacey sent to the trade school yesterday, for use there temporarily, all the buzzers at his disposal. These will be set up immediately and will be ready for the two classes of war stu dents when they meet for the first time as consolidated class on Mon> day evening. With this added equip ment the instructors will be able to divide the students into groups &C., cording to their abilities and give each man what practically will be in- dtvidual practice at his own acquired speed

CLARK FURNITURE 60. TO BOOST THE.
 THRIFT STAMPS
Handsome Bed Room Suite Will Be Given Way June
 2S to Stamp Purchasers

In cooperation with the local War Savings Stamp committee the Geo. B. Clark Furniture Co. of 1O57-107S Broad street, has donated a hand some $125 bedroom suite to the cause and the winner may choose either a mahogany or walnut suite.
 The plan is as follows: To every purchaser of two thrift stamps (5Oc) a free ticket will be given and par dcular mention is made of the fact that no purchase of any character (other than the thrift Stamps) is necessary-1ust step in and ask the lady in charge of the booth, which is in the show window, for two, four, six or whatever number of stamps you desire and for every two chance on the suite will be given.
 The ticket stubs will be deposited in a sealed box until Friday, June 2S, when the box will be opened in front of the Clark store and Mayor Will son will make the award. Minute Women will be on hand to supervise the sale of stamps and answer any questions.
 Benjamin Morrison of the Clark Co.,, who has been active in support of all patriotic enterprises during his two year residence in the city said, We are always glad to participate and do our small part in furthering the interests of the government, fed eral, state and municipal, and my only hope is that we can't print tick cts fast enough. Certainly the Thrift Stamp is an ideal investment for the workingman and Bridgeport 5 quota should be greatly oversubscrib- ed before "Enlistment Day" We have been selling Thrift Stamps for some time past and will continue tc do so as long as the war lists"
 William T. Hincks chairman o1 the local War Savings Committee, in commenting on the Clark Co.'S offer simply said Bully" To those who know Smiling Bill," this ejaculation speaks volumes.

THE NEAR AND THE FAR.

There are some people who are never satisfied with anything that is found near home. They wander all over the country for sightseeing. meanwhile ignoring things in their own neighborhood that are very mo- table. There are a great many that have never seen points of interest around here that strangers come from long distances to visit.
 This year the government asks us to forego railroad journeys as much as possible. The railroads are need ed for transportation of freight. 9th CT years will come when we can ex- ercise our longing to roam around the coountry and see distant sections.
 So let the vacation seekers this summer, before buying long distance railroad tickets, just look around our own neighborhood. They will find plenty of beauty spots within 50 miles of here, where summer board can be had. or tent pitched, or little shack put up. The sky will be just as blue, the air just as fe-giving, and the relief from labor just as refresh ing.
 About all that is wanted for a good vacation IS change or scene ana rel1e1 from the worry and strain of work That can be had 25 miles from youI home town as we'll as 250 or 2,5O0
 It should be a pleasure to visit the different localities of our own imme diate section. We have always heard about them all, yet many of them ", have never seen. It should be a satis faction to become better acquainted with these communities. We will fint many friends in common, get valuabl information as to the progress of ou own state. Incidentally we shall saw a good deal of money, as well as re aieve the railroads from something o their burden.
