 Reports given out Tuesday indicate that the Red Cross drive is going to be magnificent success is this dis trGt, if the pace so far set can be maintained.
 An official telegram sent to head quarters Tuesday at p. m., gave the contributions received up to that hour as $450S, but members of the cam paign committee said that this figure was at least $1.0O0 under the total of subscriptions known to have been made at that time.
 Therefore at the middle. of the week the Putnam district is within $2,000 of meeting its apportionment of $7,- 800, but that figure now has been brushed aside and the mo limit slo- gan is hung out from campaign head quarters.
 G. Harold Gilpatrie, of the commit tee, said Tuesday afternoon that he had just received a subscription of $500 from one of the manufacturing concerns of the city. $16S in .subscrip- tions from the operatives of the con- cern and a $50 personal costribution from the chief owner of the concern. Another subscription of $500 was re- ceived Tuesday from the Attawaugar NOulpd11J 014u PiVU HI were reported from Dayvilie. The Grosvenordales were also alive with activity, $1100 being reported from that section, while Woodstock and Pomfret committees also were do- ing splendid work. It is hoped now that at least $15.O0o will be obtained in this district before the campaign closes Saturday night.
 The liberal giving is a convincing demonstration that the people of tht district are alive to the wonderful work ofs mercy that the Red Cross is 1 performing and to the fact that tht organization has tremendous prob | lens to cope with as the war goes on Those who have given have set al inspiring example for those who ar, yet to give. asd it will be dishenor it is felt by many, not to be repre-, sented in the list of contributors nov | being compiled if one can possibl! contribute even a little sum. but tn, rule is give until it hurts''
