Bachelor Adopts
An English Family
Edgar H. Berry Joins Gertrude
Lawrence's Famous Operation
Parcels" Plan.

Parcels flan.
There's nothing unusual about a
family adopting a bachelor, but
when a bachelor adopts a family
that's news
The gentleman making the news
in this case is Mr.. Edgar H. Berry,
of the department Of standards of
Fairchild Aircraft. The method I'M
der which he is working is known as
Operation Parcels" and the person
responsible is Gertrude Lawrence,
singing star of the theatre, indefatig-
able war worker, and toast of two
continents.
Mr. Berry, bachelor slightly past
what we think of as middle years,
had been worrying for sometime
about his part in conserving food and
aiding Europe's starving and hungry
people. Eating his meals at restaur-
ants left him little frustrated, since
its difficult to conserve food if
you're not buying and preparing it
in the home. True, Mr.. Berry was
requesting that no bread and butter
be served with his meals - and be-
ing stared at as one slightly de-
mented by startled mattresses.
In the midst of all this, while leaf
ing through the Washington Post
one Sunday morning, Mr.. Berry
came upon story of Post feature
writer, telling of Miss Lawrence's
plan for individuals who want to
adopt English families and relieve
the hunger still rampant on the
British Isles.
No sooner had Mr.. Berry absorb
ed the details of Operation Parcels
than his check was in the mail, and
he is now the adaptive father of
a British family.
Miss LawrenCe's plan operates in
this manner: Those interested in
taking this means of stretching help
full hands across the sea, send a
check for $50 to The Gretrude Lawr-
ence Branch, American Theatre Wing
War Services, II West 54th Street,
New York City. Operations Par
GELS then goes into action and a par
eel is shipped to an English family
listed as being in need of aid. Upon
receipt of the first parcel the family
writes directly to the donor, telling
whether or not the contents of the
parcel meet their immediate needs
and what things are most essential.
Thus direct contact is established be-
tween the adaptive parent and his
far-off family. Unless otherwise di-
rected, Miss Lawrence's organiza-
ton will ship parcels made up of
things of their own choosing for five
months. If the adopted family needs
things not included, they will notify
their American friends and they
in turn will inform Operation Par
GELS of the specific needs.
At the end of five months, mem
bership in Operation Parcels may
be renewed and the good work con-
tinued.
Leave it to the dauntless Gertie to
think up a painless way for those
who would help, to be able to do
so with no muss, fuss and bother on
their own parts!
Mr.. Berry has not yet heard from
his family - after all he's only
been "a father" for about two weeks
now = but he's eagerly awaiting
his first report from England. And
he's hoping that other Hagerstonians
will follow his lead and join up with
Miss Lawrence in Operation Parcels.

Bond Buying Rate
Is Still Hiqh

October Savings Bond sales for
Benton county amounted to $685.
480 for all series of bonds, OF
which $191, 480 were in E Bonds,
according to Jack Wilson who
represents Benton county on the
Treasury's Advisory Committee
for this state. This brings total
sales for the year in this county
to 81, SIS 1869, of which $1,457, 439
were in E Bonds. ...
Wilson said, in discussing the
present Bond promotion campaign,
that Gin conversation with Treas
ury officials, bankers, and business
men, I am impressed with their
unanimous agreement on four
points:
I'D that we should get as much
as possible of our debt in the
hands of individuals, (2) that the
present Series E Savings Bond
without any new trimmings is the
best security that can be devised
for present situation, 90 that for
workers in factories and offices the
payroll savings plan is by far the
most effective way of doing the
job, and "a that financial re-
serve is just as important in farm
ing as land, livestock, buildings
and equipment, and the best fl
nancial reserve is u. S. Savings
Bonds"
Statewide figures record more
than 10000, 900 worth Of Savings
Bonds purchased during the first
ten months Of 1916, according to
