 Remembering the suffering that Great Britain has endured for near ly six years, and that she has met these years with a courage and a gallantry that in all history have no precedent, Bundles for Britain has been proud to have been even a small part in her stand for the good and honorable things of life and for all our freedom.
 In accordance with this an- nouncement of the National Board, the Waterbury Branch of Bundles for Britain, Inc, together with the 321 branches throughout the coun- try, will terminate its work on the date given, and requests that all garments, knitting and contribu- tions of any kind be sent to Head quarters at 51 Church street, before June 18th.

 The Waterbury Branch takes this opportunity to express its deep ap- preciation of the generous coopera- tion shown it during the five years of its existence, and to thank all who have worked so tirelessly and efficiently to help Britain through Bundles for Britain in this time of her extraordinary need.
