BANKS HAVE MANY
 PLEDGES NOT CASHED IN.

What is to be done about those people who have signed pledges to buy Liberty bonds but have failed to make good their pledges? This was one of the questions discussed at the meeting of the general committee of the. fighting fourth Liberty loan held in Fne directors room of the Norwich Savings society on Wednesday after noon. A number of the bank men re- ported that there were hundreds of
 unEedeemed pledges in their banks, and the aggregate total amounted to many thousa nds of dollars. The sug
 gestion was made to look up these
 people, but this was abandoned, as it
 was decided that if the people were
 not honorable enough to redeem their
 pledges it would do no good to chase them up.
 It is possible that a list of those who have failed to redeem their pledges will be made and kept as a future reference so that the patriotic people will not be included with those who failed to do their duty It is hoped that those people who have not redeemed their pledges will do so be- fore Saturday night and not be listed \ as slaekers. It was decided to have the banks l all open on Saturday until late in the evening that those who subseribeS l late may make their payments so a. 1 to count on Nerwichs quota Othe,
 matters pertaining to the loan wer' discussed.

America Prepares to Give
Help to Blinded Soldiers

The ablest educators of the blind
in the country are cooperating
with the United States government
in its plans for the most complete
system of re-education for blinded
soldiers that has ever been under
taken.

other governments during the war
generous appropriations, and the
most complete equipment are fac
tors in the plan which will follow
the soldier through all the phases
of re-education. When that re-
education has been completed, the
committee will find employment for
the soldier and aid him in filling his
old place in the community.
Maj. James Bordley, of the Medi-
cal Officers Reserve. is in charge
of the work which was initiated as
soon as the United States entered
the war.
Mrs. T. Harrison Garrett has Of
fered her Baltimore estate of nine
ty-nine acres to the Surgeon Cen
school for the blinded officers and
men. The estate has upon it two
houses. one of which will accommo-
date $50 persons and will be used
for enlisted men, and the other ac-
cOmmodating twenty-five persons
will serve as officers quarters.
Representatives of the Surgeon
Generals Office have been studying
the methods used by the French and
British governments in their work
of educating the blind for months
