time to analyzing the part home
insulation can play in wartime do

cutting down the amount of fuel
which ordinarily must be moved
to heat the nations dwellings.

~ cross drive was done
- with dispatch and
efficiency. Irwin G. Burton and
his committee are to be con-
graduated upon their fine work,
and the thanks of the commun-
ity goes to these men who once
more have seen Milford placed
on the top lists of full quotas.
Now the women should manage
the Victory Book Campaign"
in the same manner. The books
from the several places already
designated were collected on
Monday and the number was
253. With one week of the
campaign over that seemed a
small number. Miss Edith
Simpson, who is directing the
local drive for books, hopes for
a thousand books and as many
more as givers can make it.
This effort is entirely for the
soldiers in. camp, whose leisure
time has been more restricted
lately and who will appreciate
and enjoy books that have been
given. The best books one can
give are the ones that should be
given and not those that have
been cluttering up ones book
shelves. In one collection place
there were volumes of such
ancient vintage and such shoddy
bindings that they brought
shame to the onlookers. Make
another survey of your library
and pick out books that men
will love to handle, and books
that will be enjoyed in the read
ing. These days are ones of
sacrifice and if you feel the
sacrifice of cherished book,
you are so much bigger for the
giving. There remains two
weeks for the collecting and
any effort you make to meet the
above number will be much ap-
preciated by the local group and
certainly by the soldiers.
