 Despite the fact that the Service once is operated by volunteer workers, without any remuneration whatsoever; Q heavy burden is placed upon us for rent, light, equipment, stationery and mailing. The load is continually increasing and during the past week ou1s active file of claims reached 800. This is the reason you will see the Little Blue Flower of Remer1brance' for sale in our city from now until Armistice Day. The entire proceeds are used here in Waterbury for the rehabilitation of men and women who were disabled in the service of our country. The Forget-Me-Not is our only source of revenue locally. They are offered for sale by our own members, members of the Aux Hilary and the children of our public and parochial schools. There are no professional or paid sellers.
 Tn closing this narrative story of the Service Department we extend an invitation to anyone interested to visit our off1ce and inspect our facilities for servicing war dis- abled comrades.
 Our most sincere thanks to the Waterbury Democrat for affording us the opportunity to make known to the public what we are trying to do for those whose only armistice from suffering is death.
