WATERBURY,


Mrs. Dan G. Jones, state manager war
savings stamps, has been in Rutland
meeting the workers in that county and
lining up the work. The arrival of the
weekly poster by the business places is
one step in the advertising line, the mail
ing list for same being made up in the
local office. Mrs. Jones recently attend
ed meeting of the directors and man
ayers of the New England states in Bos-
ton, where something of the magnitude
of the undertaking was again seen. The
local Office is piled high with work and
additional office force has been used
much of the summer. Miss Edna V.

of which j. I. Smith is the manager.
Mrs Clifton 0'Clair is at the head of
one for the O'Clair Granite company and
Mrs Ralph Putnam of the Cooley Wright

with the war savings work Mrs. Jones
would like TO call attention to the fact
that there are war savings buttons at
the postoffice and that each certificate
owner becomes entitled to one. The
state headquarters here have an unique
exhibit in work done in grade six, taught
by Miss Julia Hayes. These are in the
poster line and are drawings by the chill
dren. Among these were the five grow
ing trees, gate which read Eve shall
soon win success saving War Savings
Stamps; a drawing of George Wash

can do as much for your country as they
did. Buy Thrift and War Savings
