Immediately of the last opportunity

the peace situation is still considerably
in evidence in that city resulting in
the failure of the public 20 realize that
the money which is being sought il
needed now more than evec.
An effort has been made to reach
every person in New London during
the drive but because Of Il combina
ton of circumstances, including in
clement weather and lack e entndsi-
asrn on the part of the team captains
and workers, the committee is aware
that a large number of people have
not been approached.

is also good to make mention of the
quick response made by Norwich peo-

1t is not possible to give the names
ct those who gave of their time, their

of their self denying services.
