town for agricultural purposes.
The State Council of Defense has
asked that a Food Administrator be
appointed for Fairfield and it was left
to Judge Wakeman, acting with the
agricultural committee, to appoint
one. A communication had been re-
ceiyed from the Red Cross, through

to arranging their personal business
affairs before going away from home
