 Work For Norwich.
 The closing address of the evening was made by Rev. William A. Keefe, who made a stirring appeal to the peo- pie of Norwich to cooperate with the Building and Loan association in making this city a place of beauty, a place worth living in where a law abiding citizen can enjoy happiness I believe the people between New London and Norwich, the people be- tween Norwich and Baltic realize the great purpose of this drive. Some time ago the people of Norwich re- sponded to the apeal of the govern ment and the Red CSoss to do our bit We did it for the great cause Now il is appeal for our city and I believe the people of Norwich will respond The boys who went over there are proud of what We did and we arc proud of what they did, but now wC must carry on and cooperate to make Norwich better and happier plact to live in. We are in honor bound tc do this.
