W4TERBURY

Fred A. Rowland of Montpelier, state
director of the war savings stamp fund
addressed large number of gentlemen
at Masonic hall Wednesday evening and
later gathering of ladies at the Minard
home. He gave a clear statement of the
plan of the thrift stamps and certificates,
their influence Upon the people and in
Installing saving habits, and the help to
the government, also brought out the
point that saving for these stamps meant
a lessening in other expenditures and
thus a saving of labor for non essentials.
All were urged to take hold of any or
ganization formed for the pushing of
these stamps. A woman's organization
probably will take hold of part of the
work. The speaker was introduced by
A.. c. Whitehill and in both places he ex-
pressed his pleasure at being in Water
bury and particularly in the latter place
in the old Dillingham; home, where he
spent three years while law student
here. Much interest and enthusiasm was
shown in Mr.. Howland's remarks. A
goodly amount in stamps have already
been sold here. The work is we'll organ
lied in the schools and as in the other
drives it is expected that this community
will go over her share.

Junior High School Minstrel Show fo
Benefit of the Junior Red Cross.

The Plainfield junior high school, in
response to Governor Graham's appeal
to the schools of this state to help win
the war by joining the junior Red Cross,
has done its bit" by giving a minstrel
show at the Plainfeld opera house last
Tuesday evening. The proceeds will be
used to enroll the students in the junior
Red Cross. The program was varied and
afforded much amusement, as those who
were present testified. A typical darby
band that pounded out the old familiar
airs on anything from wash tub to Il
coffee grinder, figured largely. The pres
entation by the senior class of solos,
jokes and some local hits made most
favorable impression. Each class gave
some special stunt, among these, the
darby school, the Dinah dolls land Epa
minondas attracted singular attention.
The sum of S3l.25 was taken at the door.
The show was great success, consider
ing that the time given over for prepare
ton did not exceed seven days.
