DANIELsON

Danielson people were startled last week when The Bulletin announced | that Killingly would be expected to raise probably s$454 900 in the fourth Liberty loan. The amount seemed staggering, considering the towns re- sources and taken in conjunction with what already has been done in loan ing money to the government
 But just under half million isn't going to bother this town at all! Kill I lingly, it is already indicated, is go- ing over the top in the forthcoming drive with the same splendid financial elan that marked the three previous loans, all of which were ever-sub- Scribed here
 Following a meeting of the directors of the Danielson Trust company on Monday morning it was announced that the directors had voted to sub- scribe for $50,000 of the bonds of the fourth loan and that the bank already has subscriptions of an additional $100,000, and over. This institution also has been a heavy subscriber to the temporary certificates of indebt- edness that the government recently issued.
 One of the directors of the Daniel son Trust company said Monday af- ternoon that the action the bank had taken is just the serving of another notice that Uncle Sam has only start ed to fight, and that Germany had better understand that sooner than later.
 It was also announced following a meeting of the directors that N. Lorne Greig of the Assawaga Woolen company, Dayville, had been elected member of the board of directors, ho orlo [ toa president of the Merchants National bank, Boston, who resigned in accord with federal order against inter- locking direetorates. Mr. Wiggin will retain, however, an interest in the Danielson Trust company. but not as director.
 In subscribing for s58,ooo of the fourth loan bonds the Danielson Trust. company has doubled it's sub- scription to the third loan and the ad- ditional subscriptions in excess of S100,0 GOO which it announces is con- sidered remarkable.
 The Brooklyn Savings bank was an other of Danielson's financial .institu- tions that announced Monday big boost to the fourth Liberty loan cam paign, about to open in KilIingly. This bank will take s75, 900 of the bonds
  ment was greeted with enthusiasm by the citizens who heard of it and is an other honor mark for an institution | that always has held the utmost con- | fidence of the people of Danielson, l Brooklyn, where the bank originally was established, and all the sur rounding towns. Taken with the an nouncements of Danielson's other 1 banks, that of the Brooklyn Savings l bank came like 8 burst of sunshine and as an added guarantee that Kill lingly will be in the forefront when 1 the towns of Connecticut are credited ! with their efforts to meet the tre- mendous task of raising six billions of dollars, the largest loan in the his tory of the world.
 With the subscriptions of the banks 1 and those already assured through l the banks from their patrons, Killingly will get away with a flying start in meeting the big subscriptions expect ed of it. Subscriptions already as- sured are between $325, ,0o0 and $35G,- 0G0. The ''big fellows have set the pace. They have doubled and more than doubled on their efforts in the last loan campaigns. and have set the good example that smaller subscrib-
 CTS are expected to follow. Now it is up to the smaller subscribers to come across with 100 per cent. increases in subscriptions, to the end that the
 United States be quickly triumphant lin the war and that no Killingly boy who is fighting lover there.@2- or who
 will fight there later, shall ever have
 it to say that those who remained al
 home did not back him up with their
 dollars.
 The new bonds will bear interest al
 the rate of 4 IA per cent.
