US. War Stamps in Every Home
Rehabilitation of Our Wounded.

Perhaps none of the various uses to
which the proceeds OF the Liberty Loan
are te be devoted appeals more strongly
to the American people than the rehabili-
tation and reeducation of our wounded
men. To teach these men, to train and
fit them for useful and gainful occupa-
tions, when by reason Of loss of sight
or limbs or other injuries they are rem
dered unble to pursue ordinary voca-
tions, is a work in which every Ameri
can has heartfelt interest.
Compensation will be allowed them
and family allowances will be paid their
families as if they were in actual SER
vice while they are taking the train
ing, and every method known to sci
ence will be used to restore our wounded
men to health and usefulness.
This work has been delegated by Con-
gress to the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education. The board publishes
at Washington a monty bulletin, deal
ing with it's work, called The Vocational
Summary, which will be sent free to
anyone upon request.

Canada COmpels Hoarders To

The Canadian Food Board has made
a quiet investigation of many cases of
-four boarding and has issued a warning
that all above the amount needed for Is
days supply must be returned to the
source from which it was received. A
typical case OF this sort was given wide
notice in Ontario last week. This house
holder and purchased 200 bags of -four at
$3.50 per bag, and upon discovery of this
large supply was compelled to returned
the flour to his dealer at the present mar
ket price, which was considerably under
what he had paid, and pocket the loss
himself. AS one Canadian paper said
Needless to say, no sympathy is felt
anywhere for this food hog. If anything
his punishment is too light"
This same paper, commenting editor
tally upon this case, said, Canada is
determined that no one Within her
borders will be allowed to place himself
in a position of advantage with the re-
spect TO flour supplies Canadians must
take their chances with the rest of the
allied peoples in the this matter. II

The Soldiers Chances.

Great as the danger and large as the
losses in the aggregate, the individual
soldier has plenty of chances Of coming
out of the war unscathed, or at least
not badly injured.
Based on the mortality statistics of
the allied armies, a soldiers chances
are as follows:
Twenty-nine chances of coming home
to one chance of being killed.
Forty-nine chances Of recovering
from wounds to one chance of dying
from them.
One chance in 500 OF losing limb.
Will live five years longer because of
physical training, isl freer from disease in
the Army than in civil life, and has better
medical care at the front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to Is men died
from disease to / from bullets; in this
war l man dies from disease to every 10
from bullets.
For those of our fighting men who do
not escape scatheless the Government
under the soldier and sailor insurance
law gives protection to the wounded and
their dependents and to the families and
dependents those who make the
supreme sacrifice for their country.

Still raining. Out-of-door flag
day exercises had to be given up.
Geneva Roby, Milby Humphrey, and
Marion Davis were cooks and every
meal was right on time and they
were good ones, too. About three
o'clock the sun began to shine and
everyone hastened to get ready for a
hike. We started for little Leech
and got some wet from the ferns
and bushes and the mud. We
walked around home by the Canaan
Road, distance of six miles, with
showers occurring at intervals of fif-
teen minutes. We certainly were all
prepared to do justice to the supper
of delicious corn chowder for which
Geneva is famous among Camp Fire
girls.
In the evening we all gathered
around our Camp Fireplace and
were entertained by a Flag Day pro-
gram, directed by Marion Currier
and Geraldine Chesney. The flag
was raised by Maxene Mackay and

How glad we all were that Miss

her day to cook. We did enjoy eat
ing that day, although the cooks had
their difficulties; for example, it
took four hours to bake the potatoes.
Geneva Roby, Milby Humphrey,
Marion Davis and Miss Fullington
rose at six O'Clock, ate a hasty break
fast, and walked to Norton to meet
Vera Humphrey who came on the
morning train. They got back at
$3.50 and joined the crowd that was
to climb Averill Mt, with Stanford
Holmes as guide. The sun was
shining for almost the first time
since we arrived at Averill and we
were able to get good look at the
surrounding country and take some
pictures.

came out to see US that afternoon.
The living room was prettily decora-

the mother of Walter Moore, and these

pulled the cord which loosened the folds
of the beautiful banner to the breeze.

HOW The COUNTY STANDS
On the War Savings Stamp as
Given by the County Chairman
Harry B. Amey

Editor Herald:
| am endorsing herewith tabulated
results of War Savings Campaign in
Essex County. They can only be ap-
proximate. The reduction of popu-
lation in some towns since last GEN.
sus, including Bloomfield and East
Haven especially, has made it very
hard to obtain the required amount.
This campaign is as stern propo-
sition as taxation itself; and any
town falling far behind will be
marked by Federal agents for in
quiry. Consequently further stu
pendous efforts must be used to
bring the quota up to the required
amonnt as soon as possible. This is
for the information of all Town
Committees.
Respectfully Submitted,
