The United War Workers cam
paign is now on in full swing in
Plainville and will continue thus
until November IS. The preparation
for the cam paign Is all over. The
advertising which the campaign re-
ceived in advance Is also over. The
getting of the money is all that Is
left and if the people do their duty
as they should that part of the
campaign will also soon be over The
general committee headed by Ed
ward Barstow has worked incessant-
ly to have the town ready for the
campaign and their efforts will be
rewarded only according to the re-
Spouse of the people. From now
until Nov. IS this campaign in
reality Is out of the hands of the
committee and is In the hands of
success or a failure.
The prospects are decidedly In
favor of the campaign being a sue
cess. Yesterday the different fac~
tories In town held rallies at which
speakers furnished by the State
Council of Defense addressed the
workers. That the purpose and
benefits Of the campaign were deeply
impressed upon the working people
was evidenced this morning by the
results which the canvassers had In
the factories. At 1890 half the
Rockwell Drake factory had been
canvassed and the results were
stated much better than expected.
Even better results had been OBJ
tanned In the Trumbull factory where
the canvassers were still busy getting
subscriptions.
The working people are not the
only ones who are to contribute to
this campaign Today is volunteer
day and as volunteers every person
in town is requested to go to the
bank between the hours of a. NJ
and p. m. and give as much as
they possibly can afford to give.
Plainville's quota Is $3.50 but the
town does not want to leave the
amount SO small.
