HOME GARDEN MOVEMENT
is LANGUISHiNG HERE

The home garden movement in
Norwich this year seems in a fair way
to die a languishing death.
Charles A. Hagberg, who was gar
den supervisor last year and had been
reappointed TO the same position this
year by the Chamber of Commerce.
said Friday that there seemed to be
no money in sight for necessary ex-
penses and he was doing nothing to-
wards securing plots of land which
might be parcelled out among those
wanting to cultivate home gardens
Last year a special town meeting
held in April appropriated the sum OF
$1,000 to be used under the direction
of the war bureau for the home garden
expenses.
