 The employees of the Atwood Ma chine Company. Willimantic branch, were awarded one of the eight German helmets sent to the general commit tee of the local fifth Victory Liberty loan campaign, to be used as prizes to stimulate interets in putting Willi- mantle over the top, in the recent campaign. W. c. Norris presented the helmet, in a witty speech, saying that the helmet was rather small oW- ing to the fact that the German heads were small, and the heads of the Americans being so much larger ! was probably the reason why the Ger mans never reached Paris. This award was made to the employees of the To- cal concern which subscribed the largest amount of bonds. pro rata, in the Victory loan. The Atwood Ma chine company employees number 50 men and two women and they sub scribed a total of sS5o0 or s5S.33 per person, which was the highest pro rata of any local concern that com peted for this helmet.
