Norwich bulletin., 1918-10-22

making needless telephone calls brings to light that the Danieason division has been hard put to it to keep oper- ators on duty in sufficient numbers to handle the rush of business that has been going over the wires for the past three weeks. Members of the operating force have been working under pres sure conditions every day, and with a reduced force, due to illness among them or in their families, have found it exceedingly hard to meet the de- 1 mands being made upon them by the public.
 Red Cross members will be at their rooms in the Windham County Ma tional bank building Wednesday even ing to hear reports covering the work done by the chapter during the past year and to elect their officers for the ensuing year. The annual reports will be a revelation to those who have not familiarized themselves with the great | amount of work that has been accom- plished by the organization since a year ago.
