Plans Made for a Big Dance
at Roton Point Next
Month and Field Day inA
August
The Norwslk Police Department
has fixed a goal of 825.000 by 1922
for the police benefit fund. Sergeant
Bryon H. Silk announced this mom- 1
ing. The fund at the pregnt time
only amounts to about u 000.
At the some time Sergeant Silk sn-
nounoed that plans for the holding of
gigantic field day in Norwslk in which
nation-wide famous athletes would
participate were in the works. The
field day will probably be held during
the early part. of August.
According to tentative plans, many
of New York City's “finest" will par—
ticipate in the athletic events and the
New York Police band will furnish
music. The band is noted for its ex-
cellent playing and will be a big at-
traction in an affair of this kind.
A meeting of the Police 'flcncfit
Fund Committee will be held in a day
or so to make plans for the police
dance. which will probably be held at
Roton Point in a few weeks. The
dance will be one of the biggest held
in the city in months.
