SALVATION ARMY
 SLOWLY REACHING QUOTA

The Salvation Army drive for $6160 is slowly but surely progressing and exclusive of conditional pledges the total is $5.S07.32. or just $352.6S short of the quota. The conditional pledges amount to S530 and if these canbe held together with four additional subscrip- tions of $100 each the quota will be oversubscribed by $677.32. The cash total deposited in the bank is S5,672.07.
 In speaking of the campaign on Wednesday evening General Chairman L. NJ Crandall said: We have already received from two prominnet citizens pledges of $25 each on condition that we secure two more pledges of $25 to help us get the 5000 required to entitle US to the $10O left at The Bulletin of flee by one of the very few who are public spirited enough to give to the Salvation Army a subscription of S100. Three other citizens have promised us $10 each on the condition that seven other citizens will give the Salvation Army so each to make up one of the conditional pledges of .$100 toward the s1.19G
 One woman has given us a condi-
 tional pledge of $250 providing we can
 raise the balance Of S750 to complete
 the $1 .000 fund which was started by S100 being placed with The Bulletin company with the understanding that the Salvation Army could have it if they succeeded in securing nine other such subscriptions. To date we have two pledges of $100, one of $250, two of $25 and three of $10. The total of these conditional pledges is $530. to be lost forever to the Salvation Army unless some public spirited citizens come for ward and save II with pledges of less
 than this amount. Won't someone save this for us?"
 The J. E. Martin company of Taft
 vile on Wednesday came to the aid of
 the Salvation Army by taking one of the nine $100 pledges required to save the $1,000 fund. This pledge is in ad-
 dition to a personal subscription made at a previous date and in addition to special subscription from their em- l ployes amounting to sSS. which is the l largest contribution from the em- l ployes of any concern. They went i after it with a water bucket and they got it.
 The question uppermost in the minds of the campaign managers is who is
 going to contribute the S40o to save 1 the S1 coo?
 Less than $40 remains in unpaid 1 pledges and the total number of pledges is 66-45 being for less than l $1, amounting to s26.25 and 21 amount
 ing to s109.
 i Other cities have gone over the top i Why cal' ct Norwich do the same?

MAY HAVE ANOTHER
 RECREATION PARK

The possibility of a recreation park in this city. where baseball and other outdoor sports may be enjoyed. is promising if the plans of several of the prominent business men in the city can be carried out. These men have seen the need of such d place in the city and are endeavoring to secure places easy of access where d base ball diamond may be placed.
 In years gone by there were ball games between the business men and the doctors and professional men. etc. and these furnished plenty of amuse- - ment and recreation. With the added hour of daylight during the summer and with a park of this kind where these games could be played it would add much to the life of the city. Sev- eral places have been suggested, the most favored being the Battle Grounds.
 Plans are as yet in their infancy but it is hoped that it will be carried through this summer.
