DANTELSON AND PUTNAM NEWS
PUTNAM

Once more the attention of the public of this city is being directed to the fact that the time is near at hand for the an- nual pilgrimage into this territory of fresh air kiddies from New York The primal matter in which the committee in charge of this work here is interested at present is getting in touch with families who will open their homes to receive one or more of these youngsters for a stay of two hVeeks Mid-August is the time set for the coming of the little people, so of necessity there must be quick response from those who will receive the children as guests.
 Mrs. W. J. Bartlett is chairman of the committee that is handling the arrange ments here and Miss Gertrude Perry is secretary The need of prompt response from those who are willing to have the children in their homes will not be stressed here, other than to say that the committee hopes to hear from good people not only in Putnam but also in Thomp- son, Woodstock, Pomfret and other ad- joining territory at the earliest possible moment
 These hot summer days bring nothing but discomfort for scores of thousands of children of the great city. To them an invitation to come out in the country is as l near message from heaven as anything
 that they can imagine in this busy old world. With this in mind, a great New | York paper, years ago, established a l fresh air fund. and it has been the means of bringing happiness. better health and many other blessings to thousands of New York's children. The fund has a written | guarantee that each child sent into the country is poor-so poor that it would
