A Board of Education vote against allowing the Bridgeport Pastors association to use the high school auditorium for Chimtauqua raises questions on public use of the building. Proponents argue the Chautauqua benefits the public, funds go to public needs, and President Wilson praised such programs for morale and war education. They urge reconsideration to serve public interests rather than private gain.

Deferred Payment Liberty Bonds Drive for Small Investors
The current Liberty Loan drive should emphasize installment purchases for small savers. Many cannot buy a $40 or $100 bond outright, but can invest by paying a small amount now and regular installments later. This method benefits the government and builds the saver’s future earnings through planned contributions. It aligns with Secretary McAdoo’s aim to fund from current earnings and savings rather than past surpluses.
