WOMEN ASSIST VETERANS IN
 RAISING FUNDS

Bridgeport women were quick to re- spond when it became known a few days ago that Raymond w. Harris Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, was to launch a three-day drive for the benefit of it's new clubhouse, starting on Armistice Day, Nov. II, and con tinuing on Nov. 12 and 13- Harris post-so named in honor of the first Bridgeport doughboy to make the. great sacrifice-has a women's auxili- ary, composed of ex-service girls, and the wives and mothers of veterans The growth of this auxiliary has been almost as remarkable as the growth of the post itself, for in less than a year since it's organization it has taken in more than 145 members.
 This auxiliary, of course. will lend it's heartiest cooperation to the drive, but in addition to the women of the post, there have been scores of vol unteers from women of social promi- hence throughout the city, and it is expected that their aid will be in valuable.
 Among those in the forefront of the movement is Mrs. A. L. Delaney, who already has enlisted a large team ot co-workers. ''The soldiers got very little for their efforts in the war" she said while accepting, "and we are strongly in favor of any move that will help them in any way. I know that the Veterans are fine organiza-
