NORWICH BULLETIN, MONDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1918
WILUMANTIC ,
Although final reports cannot he
made until today (Monday) and sev
eral teams have not yet reported at
all. lndlciyions are that between three
' or four thjoiwr.nd members of the Red
Cross Trill be enrolled here during the
. present campaign. Up to Saturday
, nisht, $2,183.25 had bn turned in as a
I l psult of the canvass in the mills and
from the Iicuse-to-hcttse canvass.
These figures show a larger propor
tion of membership than the national
proportion attained of 11 per cent,
but some disappointment is felt in the
general committee that the figures ate
not larer. The results are probably
influenced in some degree by the sign
ing of the armistice and the frequency
or recent demands upon the public for
.money. Teams that have not vet re
ported are to do so at the Chamber of
''ommercc today, from 2 to i. and 7 to
. t. Captains .ire being asked to have
