who receive the children here and the | newspaper that is cooperating in New York
 This year it is hoped that places will | be found in Putnam and surrounding towns for scores of these unfortunate children. Immediate response is hoped for by the committee, which is made up as follows: Chairman, Mrs. W. J. Bart lett; secretary, Miss Gertrude Perry treasurer, Miss Florence Wiley, Putnam Mrs w P. Rafferty. Mrs. Ralph Spencer, Putnam; Mrs s. B. Overlook. Ponfret; Mrs. A. E. Hoffay, Elliott anx Eastford Mrs. Charles Fay, Arlington: Miss Blanche Stoutenburg, Woodstock.
 Any interested person may get in touch with any member of this committee and learn in detail of the plan to have the children come here from New York in Au- gust. Experience or the past in entertain ing these children is certain to bring fa- vocable responses from homes in which the little visitors have lived and flooded them with happiness. All of the children are given a, medical examination and their health certified to before they are sent out of New York
 Members of the committee expressed Friday the hope that many will immedi- ately respond to this call and make 1t pos sible for the towns in this section of Windham county to contribute to the happiness and health of a large number of the children.
 Members of the work train force that went on strike Thursday remained away from work Friday. The men object very seriously to the recent requirement that they leave here for their work to the north on an early morning train and do not get home again until well into the evening. Neither are they well pleased over the ten-hour working day. The sen timent among the strikers on Friday seemed to be that they would remain out indefinitely unless the conditions about which they have gone on strike, are reme- died Shortage of locomotives due to the shopmen's strike is said to be respon- sible for taking the work train off it's regular run. The strikers usually trav- eled on this train, and it's removal has added greatly to the burSen of their days work, it is claimed
