 <, A big motor and pump has been ob- tained by the water commissioners and the apparatus will quickly be housed in temporary structure and put into operation
 Confidence is expressed that the
 auxiliary pumping station will con-
 tribute largely toward increasing the city's reserve supply of water There was general elation in the city Thursday over the rapid rise in temperature, which ran up as high as 45 degrees. and started a thaw that is long overdue. For the first time in weeks there was water under foot and as the sun set Thursday night the
 wind was in the east. the sky over cast and promise of rain. There are at least 200 homes and business places, however, that were without water on Thursday.

JUNIOR RED CROSS
Auxiliaries Planned For All Schools in
 the Tewn During Coming Drive.


 There is, going to be introduced into every school in the United States-as far as possible--Junior Red Cross Aux diaries. The drive for membership is to be from February 18th to the 22d, starting with and finishing with the birthday of the two greatest Ameri- cans--Lincoln and Washington. It is expected that the results will be that there will be a gigantic membership of 100000 boys and girls enrolled.
 The local chapter has begun this work by appointing Frank H. P. Cle- ment chairman of the local jurisdic- ton.
 Zach boy or girl can become mem Der by bringing in one cent and sign ing pledge which will be given at a later time. This pledge sets forth three kinds of service these are: () by making or growing articles which the Red Cross needs; (2l- by saving and denying oneself unnecessary things that others may live; (3) by giving a share of what one has earned or saved to help those who have offered their all.s
 When the plan has been completed each child will receive a Red Cross pin and the school a Red Cross ban ner. The older children will then have an opportunity to participate in real Red Cross work-that of making arti- cles for the soldiers Children will also have an opportunity to read some of the interesting circulars that the headquarters issues from time to time Also, it is necessary. before school can become ane.auxthary for sum of money to be- raised which is equiva- lent to twenty five cents for each child in the school This required sum of money must, for the most part come from those patriotic citizens who will come forward and dil np the gap SC that our boys and girls will not have any chance of missing an opportunity through which their love of the United States shall suffer in the least. This is an opportunity to help build up the future citizens of the town.
 This plan covers every school-pub- lie, parochial ond private. The. loca Red Cross chapter covers this terri tory; the town of Griswold. the town of Voluntown and ai.part of: Lisbon There are 561 pupils in the Jewett Cits ] schools and this means that $140.2; must be raised. while the outlying dis tricts have 151 children and this calls fo rs37.75. In the town of Lisbor there are registered S7 which will re- quire S21.75. The Voluntown schools report an attendance of 14S childrer and this will require $37 to be raised l in or to meet itS quota. Altogether the local chapter of the Red Cross GOV. CTS schools which contain s947 chil dren and the full quota which mus be raised ln order that the school.
 can go over the top is $236.75.
