PILGRIM MEMORIAL RE-
 SUITS ARE GRATIFYING
Total Amount Pledged in This County Is
 $60,604.10

Litchfield county's contribution to the Pilgrim Memorial Fund, which was begun the first week in October, is still coming in. Some weeks ago the managers of the campaign thought it was complete but amounts are still being received. From some of the churches even the present total is incomplete because of the fact that the canvass has not yet been made. In New Milford which is one of the most important churches of the county very substantial quota is expected.
 The total quota assigned to Litch- field county after the revision, on which the campaign started, was $57,350. The total amount up to date is $60,604.1O. Of the 42 churches canvassed in the county 27 have surpassed their quota, four have doubled it or more and one of the churches, that in Southberry has tripled it. In all it has been, so Dean Beard feels, very creditable showing worthy to be compared with that of the counties which have preceded it in the canvass.
 Following is the tabulation of the quotas and the pledges from each church in the county.

MASQUERADE DANCE
 A SOCIAL SUCCESS
SIPS Cleared for the Visit ing Nurse Associa-
 ton

One of the most enjoyable social affairs to be given here in some time was the masquerade dance held at town hall on last Thursday evening under the auspices of the Community Service Association. The proceeds were for the Visiting Nurse associa- tion and after expenses were paid about $125 remained for this most worthy cause.
 The costumes worn by those who participated were unusually beauti- full and varied and caused consider able difficulty to the judges who were appointed to award prizes. There were Mexicans, Indians, ballet dan cers, Quakers and long list of other costumes including a goodly number of clowns. Costumed and masked as they were many tried to guess the names of the wearer and when unmasking time came there were many surprises.
 Miss Catherine Mansfield who was dressed as an Indian girl in a rich leather costume was awarded first ladies' prize. Thomas McClelland, who attracted much attention as a Scotch Highlander won the gentle mans prize, while Mary Roger took the ladies' consolation prize in the costume of a picanniny.
 The following ladies acted as pa tronesses: Mrs. F. H. Lee, Miss Ella Considine, Mrs. H. E. Lyles, Mrs. Joseph Kegler, Mrs. J. G. Adam and Miss Edith Price.
 Miss Mabel" Quinn, chairman of the committee on arrangements wishes to thank the public and all who served on the various commit tees for making the dance success.

If your telephone service has been poor since Thanksgiving day, don't blame the operators for eating too much turkey, for such is not the case. We'll admit that the central office must have been badly crippled for few days by the loss of two of it's operators and it's driver, but now that the weddings and honey moons are over conditions are again becoming normal.

THRIFT STAMPS, WILL
 CONTINUE DURING 1920
Extensive Plans Are Made for the Coming
 Year

A new issue of Thrift Stamps is soon to, be placed on sale by the
 government and it is anticipated will
 be placed in the hands of the various War Savings agencies before the beginning of the New Year as the Thrift movement is to be continued
 as part of the governments recon
 struction program. This not only
 includes the sale of Thrift and War
 Savings Stamps, but also the new Treasury Saving Certificates on a been introduced in Connecticut, not
 ably in the factories in Bridgeport, Waterbury and New Haven. Assis- tant State Director Ralph M. Lowry
 has been busy with this program for some time and at the request of the
 Federal Reserve Bank in Boston has introduced the work in New Hamp-
 shire and Rhode Island.
 With the announcement that these safe and easily convertible securi- ties are to continue, it is confidently anticipated that the public will take ia renewed and strengthened interest in this form of practical saving,
 which became. so popular and was so
 widely patronized during the war
 and during 1919 as we'll. Not alone in the sale of these securities is the government planning to encourage continuance of thrift, but through the teaching of home economies,
 budget making and the wise expendi- ture of money. Under the direction of the Treasury Department this pro fram has been incorporated into the national reconstruction campaign
 and every legitimate means will be
 employed in attacking this tremen- dous problem. That by spreading the
 doctrine of thrift and impressing Upon the people the wisdom of regu- lar and continued saving which proved such a huge factor in financ-
 ing the war and at the same time
 taught the individual the value of
 saving for a time of need, it is felt
 that much can be done towards at
 tacking the high cost, of living and
 bringing conditions back to normal. In carrying out. the governments
 program in Connecticut, it is an-
 nopnced that the War Savings Com
 fnfttee plahs to employ to the fullest every agency now engaged in the work. The schools, which from the first have proved an invaluable aid not only in the sale of thrift stamps through regular and steady buying, but by advancing the cause of thrift through lessons taught the pupils, are to continue this work. Lessons in
 thrift will be taught as a fundamen- tai part of education and the fitting of children to meet the demands of
 after life. In the factories, insur- ance offices, banks and other com mercial institutions, Thrift and War
 Savings Stamps will be sold and in
 addition the new Treasury Certifi- cates will be offered investors. These new securities will be offered on the
 installment basis of $2 per week, ini-
 tial payments being made at the fac tories on subscription and the bal
 ance at designated banks. These certificates pay better than four and
 one half per cent. interest being com
 pounded and are free from taxes with the exception of inheritance and excess profit taxes. They may be cashed upon ten days notice and mature January 1, 1924 when the
 government will redeem them at
 face value.

WANT EXPERT FOR FOOD SITUATION
Appeal Addressed to Presi dent Wilson For Com
 mission.

London, Feb. 24-Thirty-six prom inent members of scientific and medical faculties of German univer- sities and 22 mayors of leading cities in that country have addressed a, joint appeal to President Wilson and uni versity faculties in neutral countries, urging the speedy appointment of a, commission of experts from the Scan dinavian states, Holland, Switzerland and Spain for the purpose of studying the food situation in Germany. MT. Wilson is asked to designate an American medical expert as an added number of the commission, in which Entente countries will be given the privilege of representation if they so chose. The memorial says:
 Germany has laid down her arms upon being assured a peace of justice based on President Wilson's fourteen points The conditions of the armis- tice have made her absolutely de- fenseless. In spite of the mutual agreement to suspend all hosulites Germany's opponents continue the hunger blockade-the most severe and most crushing of all weapons ap- piled against her during the war. Testimony adduced by medical au- lilCI4lltS III NItA liLc1l4S plONGS I4leAl IIIe
 blockade cost the country S00.0 lives.'
 The petition claims that clandestine traffic in food has resulted in price increases over peace time standards ranging from one thousand to three thouand per cent, which deprives millions of workers and women and children of food and prevents the peo- pie from obtaining the necessities The number of neurathenics caused by the monotony of daily fare during the past four and a half years runs in to the millions"
 The petition further asserts that, in addition to physical suffering growing out of the continuance of the block ade, the food stringency in Germany has produced psychic and ethical phenomena which threaten to develop into broadening centers for Bolshev- | ism"
 | Among the signers are Professors ! Bier, Czerny, Bumm, Doederlein, von
 Mueller and Abderhalden. Chief | Magistrate Wermuth of Greater Der ] lin hea ds the list of mayors who sign l ed the mem orandum, which in conclu- | sion declares that the problem of ra- i tioning big cities in Germany is beset i by gravest dangers and that the Ger man people are undeservedly being | driven into hunger catastrophe.''
