 NBAR EAST BUNDLE DAY
 The people of Norwich are to be conA rratulated upon their wonderful response to tile Bundle Day appeal for the Near East. Last year forty bags of discarded clothing went from here to sne refugees of Armenia and neighboring lands; this year the packing committee, working all day. Saturday, has so far been able to pack sixty-one bags, The total will probably reach 125. The committee used the basement of Park church parish house and many of the Sunday morning congregation were interested to go down. stairs to see the heaps of bags sewn up and ready for shipment Thanks to the generosity of the families of Norwich, thousands of little children, women and refugees in the Near East will have warm clothing next winter Great credit is due the members of the packing com mittee for their arduous work: Mrs. Clarence D. Sevin, chairman; Mrs Wm. H. Dawley Miss Elizabeth B. Hunting | ton, Mrs. William H. Collins, Miss Jennie Bonnie, Miss Ruby Vaughn, Miss Jennie Case. The bags were donated by R. F. Smith

 The Boy Scouts, under the leader ship of Scout Executive Frederick. A Benton, have had an important part 1T the Bundle Day collection.

Among the twen . ty-fve or thirty boys actively engaged : in answering these were the follow
 ing: Partridge, Antoofian, Armstrong n Levitsky,> Fellows, Lewis, Geit | Bruclxner, Bjork. Zimmerman 9 Schwartz, Bell Treat, Dodge. F'rinli Montgomery, Gilbert, Raymond, Tir
 ren, Blinderman, Benton, Rogers Hil, Gee. The Near East committe a is indebted to these boys for thei f willing and energetic assistance. 2, The cotmittee realizes that in such f large collection of this kind som
 names have undoubtedly been overlooked Q Due to delay in the arrival of trucks an = to the small number of Scouts on han f Saturday afternoon a few bundles had t q be left until today. The committee woul f be glad, however, if anyone whose bun . dle was not taken will get in touch wit l. the chairman, Miss Louise Howe, 9 vii e jams avenue. (tel ID. The packin
 committee will be at Park church paris e house Monday afternoon, when it hope e to complete the work of filling and sew l. ing the bags and tagging them ready fo e shipment to the central Near East colleC i tion station in New York city
