Somewhere in France.
Dear Mamma:

Dear Mamma:
l am well and surely did have
wonderful trip. We went through
and it is as beautiful as an
old oil painting. Frances and Betty
will find their old home but little
changed.
Under the roof of the building in
which am quartered are the nests
of hundreds of cave swallows, and
each nest is crowded with young
birds now. I love their everlasting
chatter. The bird life here is some
thing like that of Ohio. The barn
swallow is very common. The Eng
lish sparrow is as bad here as he is
IN America, Mexico, Canada, or Eng
land, and he is one Englishman that
l heartily detest.
You may tell the folks who ask
about me that with my birds, flowers,
pretty blue skies, and the forests
with their pretty streams, I manage
to pass many pleasant minutes.
The people here are very friendly
and the little French kiddies like to
ride on the shoulders of the big sol
diers, SO you see they trust US. Some
of the boys are learning French quite
rapidly, but I do not get the hang
of it so quickly.
The wheat here is very good and
the people are threshing it with fails
They seem to be very quaint and old
fashioned to me, with their queer
wagons, wooden shoes, and funny
customs.
The houses and barns are all un
der one roof. The one in which an
quartared is over 300 years old.
There are two churches in the tow
that are more than 400 years old
The walls are stone, nearly three fee
thick, and all the roofs are of heav,
red tile.
Their roads are wonderfully vel
kept, though they are much narrowe
than ours. They are lined on bot
sides with trees. The forests ar
well kept, also.
Well, it is supper time and I an
hungry. l hope you keep well.

may we'll hr proud. When the roll
call was first announrnd it was cousid-
cred problem to i..d some method to
put the town in tht winning column
again. After much discussion it was
decided that the women played the
ma jOr part III the Eod Cross work so
the work Of carrying on the roll call
should be left to them. Thus il was
SO decided and work was started. Mrs
Charles Clark. Airs. William Cassidy
and Mrs e. Hills were appointed the
committee in charge and thew worked
under G.. Tf. Newton, president of the
PlainVi!le branch of the Red Cross.
The towns quota was assigned at
$4,000 and it was thought impossible
to raise the amount. 1t was the aim
OF the committee to have as many of
the people in town in the roll call as

who gave large donations were ap-
preached and told that their money
was to be credited to some people in
the town who the committee realized
would give If they possessed the
money. This also was carried out and
was successful in having the ma jority
Of the townsp@ople enrolled in the
call. While the ncighbOring city of
New Britain was struggling to get it's
quota and while Bristol, Southington
and other nearby towns and cities
were trying hard to set their quotas
the committee in this town was work
ing hard but quietly and they got re-
suits. When they started out to get
81 600 they rea lied that the reputa-
ton of this town was unmarried in
former campa igns, and they deter
mined that that reputation should be
sustained at any cost. 1t is q mat
ter of pride for this town to realize
that it went over the top once more

which is more than 60 per cent OF the
