This made a total of $40, 800 for the
men and $l3, $50 for the ladies, making
a total all told of s44,450. At this
time the Boy Scouts troop who had
gotten into the game reported $500
which swelled the total to $45, $50.
Scattering bond sales then came in
which brought the total triffe under
the $4,000 mark. Laura Lavey re-
ported that she had $4,000 sale in
sight and later on in the canvas landed
this sale which put her to the top Of
the women 8 column with $780, The
sale of bonds to bring the town over
the top was then put in, the hands Of
four squads of four men each as fol
lows: Squad II. B. Edwards, cap
tain, Geo. Willett, Chas. Pohlman and
L. Y. Steere. Squad 2-Evan Jones,
captain, Frank Gethen, F. R. Lavey

Lane, captain, G. Yonk, Geo. Shepard,

tom, captain, w. J. Gleason, G. M.
Bishop and Frank Rowbottom. These
squads went out with the slogan, q An
Over-subscription for the Town Of Bris-
toll, e and when they reported at noon
on October 18th they had put the town
over the top, making the squad figures
read:
Squad Edwards .........$2,85 $50
Squad Zones ............. $3.50
Squad 3-Lane ............. $500
Squa d4-Rowbottom ... 1850
Making a squad total of $12,350 and
bringing the grand total for the town
up to SCI 200.
Never since the start of the war has
Bristol been so keenly alive to the
necessity of going the limit to put the
Kaiser out of business and telephone
wires were alive with the tale, "Bris-
toll is behind! The squad is coming
and we must put this thing Overt = In
many door yard the husband and
wife met the squad and said, II know
what you are here for. Put us down
for a plus subscription of two hundred
dollars. = In nearly every instance
the squad had but little work to do
to show the hesitating subscriber just
what he owed to his country and her
boys in khaki. And when the total
went over the quota mark the salts
faction pictured on every face in the
town Of Bristol was wonderful to see.
The cry of "Bristol has never failed
her country and is again over the
topo resounded from one corner of the
town to the other and the solicitors and
members of the squads, who set aside
their own business for several days
that Bristol should not fail, were be-
ing lauded to the skies for the way in
which they had brought the people of
the town to see the real necessity of
plus subscriptions and still more plus
subscriptions to make the quota and
carry the town safely over the danger
line. The influenza keeps the little
town from celebrating their victory
over the Hun at the present time, but
as soon as we are allowed to hold pub
lie meetings, there will be a celebra-
tion in Bristol the like of which the
town has never seen and our honor flag
will be set aside Old Glory, our serv-
ice flag, and the Red Cross and honor
flags which mean>1 so much to the peo-
pie of our little township. Practically
every family in the town Of Bristol is
holder of Fourth Liberty Loan bonds
and should Uncle Sam need to sell
more in the future to keep this land
free from the accursed Hun, the peo-
pie of Bristol will again come forward
as they always done on Patriots Fund,
Red Cross, and Liberty Loan. The
committee, through your correspondent,
extends its grateful thanks for the IN
selfish way in which the committees
and squads gave their time, and also
for the fine spirit displayed by the peo-
pie of the town Of Bristol in the
putting over Of this loan. And last,
but not least, to those of the ladies
committee who put the ladies bond
subscriptions over the $4,000 mark.
