Red Croas Appeal


 At aIl Masses at St. Johns church on Sunday, letter from IEt. Rev. Maurice F. McArliffe. Bishop of Hartford, which issued an urgent appeal in behalf of the Red Gross War Fund, was read.
 FoliOwing the reading of the let -e.. Rev. My,es P. Calvin. pastor s,ld Rev. Gerald Gaucher, assistant pastcr, spoke of the great value of tie Red Gross and appealed to the parisllioners to be generous in their response to the War Fund appeal.
 At inc O:l5 o'clock Mass, Father Ca, ~ spoke on the mercy and hu- m. |. I.lrianism of the Red Cross or- ganizc.ion. He reminded the pa- rishionerS that their homes would .o0n be visited by the canvasserS and urged that these solicitors be treated with courtesy and kindness, as tl.e work of 6 canvasSer | not agreeable at the best. He spoke in ilizhest praise of the American Red Cross and informed his listeners that 1t was their duty to give and t. give extraordinarily in this time of total warfare. He urged them to help to meet the quota, which we have never yet failed to do."
 Father Calvin mentioned the part that he has received many letters from servicemen and that in almost all of them there has been gcn.e refere: ce to hte kindness or mercy of the Red Cros.

Thomaston, March 8. - Robert Robinson, chairman of the Indus- trial committee for the 4th War Loan Drive which was completed here recently, announced the total bond sales amounted to $748,32 $l64,975 of this amount were F Bond sales. The quota for total sales for Thomaston was $850, ,000 The E Bond quota was .l67,000.
 The sale of E Bonds was very gratifying to the committee as it shows that the people of Thomas ton are squarely behind the war effort. The Industrial section fell somewhat behind on the amount which the committee had hoped to realize and consequently the total fell approximately 100000 behind the olloted quota.
