 the High School.
E. H. GREEN SPEAKS
 ON MUNITION WORK
More Than 10000 Workers to be Brought to This City
 Within Short Time.

Flag Day was fittingly celebrated in the Bridgeport High school this nTorn- ing by the different classes there, with the prevocational school stu dents as guests, for the preliminary program.
 Principal Arthur Lee of the High school presided throughout the pro- gram and opened the exercises of the day by remarks to the effect, that this was a double opportunity to celebrate F'lag Day and also help in the hous- 1 ing movement. He then introduced F. H. Green of the local War Bureau who spoke briefly on the work planned to meet the needs for the present and future housing of Bridgeport's muni- tion workers, and showed how the cooperation both of the student body of the High school and citizens gen. orally was desired.
 | MT. Green said that all had done great deal in helping our government : in this war---with our hands, money and minds. Now, however, the great , rroblem confronting our city is how shall we house our war workers, now here, and the thousands coming.
 The problem of the War Bureau in the housing of these people, he said, is first to use and utilize the homes already here; homes with, say, one or two rooms not occupied.
 More than 10000 additional muni- tton workers will be brought into Bridgeport in the next two months, and what the War Bureau desires is that they shall be greeted with real EBridgeport hospitality. We cannot do tthat with letting them walk the streets he said.
 The Bureau expects to make an ex- animation of every unoccupied room elisted with them, or of which they may learn, and see to 1t that the right person is sent to the right room; American to Americans, and, as far as seems practicable, those of the same religious denomination brought together in housing.
 MT. Green urged upon all students end teachers present the necessity of acting quickly. If possible next Mon day will be set as the date for re- turns of definite information to be made through their pupils. Cards re- cording data that will help in the housing movement are to be distrib- uted to High school pupils through their teachers, with full instructions
 DOn L lIllllh WldL yOu nave uOllO lO help win this war hut rather what you can do," he urged. "If you do this you will have done something worth while to help this country
 No charge will be made for any service the War Bureau is able to render either to those having rooms they are willing to rent, or to ten ants. Principal Lee asked for 0 large registration and the utmost co-opera- tion in the housing work of Bridge port from the student body.
 John Donnelly of the junfor class gave declamation on the "Signif1- canoe of the Flag" and Miss Ruth Nickersoh, a senior of the High school, rected "Old Glory
 After the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes had marched in to the strains of the High school girls orchestra. they stood at atten-
 tion and saluted the flag while all
 presetn joined in singing '"The Star Spangled Banner"
