 Wich.

This is the day when the war sav- lngs enlistment campaign begins in Norwich with the primary purpose of the enlistment campaign to get the people of the nation to realize the ne- cessity for universal saving and to ap- peal to them to pledge themselves, to save and economize so that large volumes of labor and material may be released in order to help win the war.
 Presidents Proclamation.
 The president of the United States has designated. in the following proclamation. June 18th as National War Saving Day:
 The White House.
 Washington. D. c.
 To the People of the. United States:
 This was is one of nations-not of arnies-and all of our one hundred million people must be economically and industrially adjusted to war con- ditions if this nation is to play it's full part in the conflict. The problem be- fore us is not primarily a financial problem but rather a problem of in creased production of war essentials and savings of the materials and the labor necessary for the support and equipment of our army and navy. Thoughtless expenditure of money for non essentials uses up the labor of men, the product of the farm. mines, and factories, and overburdens trans portation, all of which must be used to the utmost and at their best for war purposes.
 I earnestly appeal to every man wo- man and child to pledge themselves | |, constantly and to buy regularly as possible the securities of the govern men {: and to do this as far as possi- ble through membership in War Saw ings Societies. The 18th of June ends l this special period of enlistment in the great volunteer army of production l and saving here at home. May there be none unenlisted on that day!
