CAMP. FIRE NOTES
Girls Give Surprise Party to Miss
Helen Baird

Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore Baird in
vited the Wangum Camp Fire Girls
TO come en- Thursday evening and
surprise their daughter Helen, it be-
ing her birthday. The result was
another jolly time for the Camp Fire.
Gay Christmas bells and garlands,
together with birthday cake, dec
Grated with fourteen holly-colored
candles, added holiday touch to
The occasion.
Favorite games, singing and dane
ing, with piano, drum, tamborine,
castanets and triangle made the
evening fly. One of the most de-
lightf4l features of entertainment
was a story begun by the guardian
and continued around the dining
room until finished by the last girl
of the circle, as the candle flames
were about to die out in their sock
cts. Then there was a rush towards
the table and twenty vigorous
breaths made short work of extin-
gushing the last fiickers of light. A
ghost story told by "Roodah", with
soft music by Mrs. Baird at the
piano-player, brought the Camp Fire
Girls latest good time to close.

TOWN MAKES A RECORD
IN RED CROSS ROLL CALL
Reported That North Canaan
Leads the Entire
District

That the Christmas Roll Call of
the Red Cross was grand success
in this town is proven by the fact
that over 1910 was received for
membership dues. This is more
than double the number of members
who joined last year and the readi-
ness with which people joined is a
source of gratitude to the committee.
There is no doubt that the people of
! North Canaan had both "heart
and dollar" when approached by
members of the committee.
The two sections Of the town
which made the best showing are
Canaan Valley and East Canaan.
About $40 was collected in Canaan
Valley by Mrs. D. j. Emmons, who
solicited in that section, where last
year the members of the Red Cross
could almost be counted on the fin
gers of one hand. In East Canaan
outside of the lime kilns and other
industries, 500 was collected by
Misses Marguerite Gaylord, Amanda
Allyn and Mrs. Archie Adam. Two
residents of Canaan Valley came to
this village to join, fearing that q
solicitor would not call on them.
The entire committee have done
remarkably good work and should
receive the appreciation Of the
towr for enlisting so man. in such
a noble cause. The com nlttees N
charge of the Roll Call are as fol-
low:
General Committee: Mrs. George
LP. Hardenbergh, chairman; Misses
Mabel Quinn, Catherine Finnegan
and Mrs. Allyn Fuller, Harry Holt,
treasurer.
Soliciting Committee: Mrs. George
Fuller, Mrs. J. L. Parsons, Mrs. Rob-
ert Black, Mrs. C. E. Badgley, Mrs.
F. N. Glass, Mrs. Jerome Root, Mrs.
Frank Whiting, Mrs. George Mather,

Ter, Margaret Corcoran, Caroline

Leffingwell, Mrs. Fred Brewer, and
Messrs. Timberlake, Wright, Nestell
for the village, Mrs. D. J. Emmons
for Canaan Valley and Mrs. Archie
Adam, Amanda Allyn and Marguer-
lite Gaylord for East Canaan.
Booth Committee: Elizabeth Nc
Cormick, Mrs. Tracy Beaupre, Mrs.
J. w. Morris, Mrs. Jerome Root,
Margaret Collins, Caroline Camp,

ley, Misses Lillian Parsons, Margaret

The committee wishes to thank all
who in any way helped to make the
Christmas Roll Call such an unquali-
fled success in this town.

By HELEN M. RICHARDSON

Within fife book another leaf Il turned;
Today we face new and untried year.
It's secrets and its purpose all unguessed.
No hand may lift the veil that hides from us
Success or failure, and no feet save ours
May tread our pathway do our several tasks.
We step into the New Years outstretched arms.
And wonder if with all her Turing charms
Truer she'll prove than one we leave behind.
What we have gained from wrestling with defeat.
Mayhap will give us strength new foes to meet
With greater courage. Come, them storm and stress.
Defeat and failure. or joys magic spell,
To each or all the new year holds in store
We reach our hands in welcome, for we know
Our truest blessings from our failures grow.
And that our share of happiness will be
What we acquire through self-mastery

Estimated That There are More
Than 100000 Untitled
e.. Cards

The Connecticut War Savings
Committee has issued an appeal to
all war savers in Connecticut, urg-
ing them to fill up their thrift cards
before the first of the new year. The
appeal as issued by State Director
Cheney is as follows:
eve most earnestly urge that all
holders of Thrift Cards make every
effort to fill them and convert them
into 1918 War Savings Stamps be-
fore December 81 of this year.
There are several reasons for the
expediency of this move, both for
the holder of the Thrift Stamps and
for the War Savings work which is
being carried on by US for the gov
eminent. Thrift Stamps held over
until next year must be exchanged
for War Stamps, which will not be
redeemable until January /, 1924.
This is year later than the maturity
date of the stamps for which you can
now exchange your Thrift Stamps,
January l, 1928.
money tied up in Thrift Stamps
should be converted into War Saw
ings Stamps as soon as possible,
since Thrift Stamps do not bear in
terest, while the ''baby bonds" as
they have been called, bear interest
at the rate of per cent, COM
pounded quarterly, or nearly per
cent. Therefore your money is earn
ing money all the time.
'Then in converting these smaller
stamps into Understanding securi-
ties, you are aiding the government
by lending it the money it needs for
bringing our boys home and caring
for them until they can be brought
home. You are helping Connecticut
make it's War Savings quota, so that
we will not face the shame of All

 Chairmen and Members of Lo-

 From present estimates of the country's coal requirements, It ssems evident that sufficient coal will not be transported to all parts of the country to satisfy the needs of the consumers. This has made it necessary to establish Preference List design ed to insure coal supply to indus tries considered most essential to the Governments war poIicles. A comprehensive Distribution Program has also been formu lated, through which the coal production of the country must be regulated and directed. This program is to be carried out by the Fuel Administration co op erating with the War Industries Board.
 All consumers of coal, except domestic, are to be classified un. der the following heads, in the order names:-Railroads, Army and Navy, and other Federal De partments, State and County Departments and Institutions, Public Utilities, Retail Dealers, Manufacturing Plants, Jobbers, Lake and Tidewater Trade.
 This program provides that the State Fuel Administrator shall have entire responsibility and authority for the distribu ton of coal allotted to his State.
