2 I Col. Isaac M. Ullman Outlines Work
 For Red Cross Campaign = Storm
 Damage to Roads Amounts to $2po0
 Brief Mention.
 Colonel Isaac M. Ul1man, New Ha- ven, Connecticut war fund chairman for the Red Cross, met representatives of various Red Cross chapters rom Windham county towns here, and ex- plained to th0m what is to be done ] during the weeks campaign that IS 10 | be conducted May 20-27. The east ern Connecticut work is to be under l the direct supervision of J. Arthur Atwood of Wauregan.
 Colonel Ullman impressed upon the 1 men he met the fact that the under i takign they are facing is a mans Job | and a great work. He expects Wind ham and New London counties to make a splendid response to the Red Cross appeal They did not do as much as the rest of the state expected year, but this is held to have been chiefly due to lack of the organi5a- ton that marked the work in other parts of the state. During the coming drive things will be different and ev- cry man, woman and child, no matter how much he has done for other war activities, will be expected to do his bit
 The speaker outlined the organiza- tion plan that will be worked out and made many suggestions to the war fund drive chairmen who were pres ent relative to methods for arousing interest and putting the drive over with great success.
 Among the other things upon which l he laid particular stress were that each chapter will have diverted to it's own use 25 per cent. of the total ] amount raised within it's jurisdiction and that gifts, from corporations will ! be credited in proper proportion In 1 this drive to the chapter o.--.sdiction 1 in which the corporation plants are l located. This means that the sub l scriptions in several eastern Connec- ticut chapter jurisdictions will be.
 considerably increased in the coming l drive. for during the last one these | corporation contributions were credit
 ed to New York, Providence; Boston | and other cities in which the offices
 of the corporations are located. l Those who heard Colonel Ullman's l address were entertained at dinner at the Attawaugan hotel by J. Arthur l Atwood of Wauregan.
 Storm Does $2,ooo Damage Selectman Charles A. Downs has es- timated the damage done by one storm
 to the highways in Killingly. during the past month to not less than 3D.
 GOO, and some think the repair cost
 will be nearer double that amount.
 This storm damage is the chief reason
 for recurring larger appropriat tion
 for highway upkeep.
 Coal Supply Below Normal. | Some steam coal is coming through 1 for the use of manufacturing concerns
 who are engaged upon government or ders. but the supply is not nearly ur
 to normal. Many householders whc , are willing to follow out the national
 fuel administrators suggestion that
 they buy their years supply of coa'
 now are prepared to do so but cannot
 get deliveries. There is not a serious
 stringency here now in the hard coa situation, but hundreds of tons would be taken at once if it could be pro cured.
