Health Officer Robert E. Perdue. This
means that practically every child who

, $ ‘ we; ' "‘
Frederick 1.. Lamson. treasurer of
the Norwalk Tire and Rubber com<
pany. delivered an interesting address
last night to the members of the Men’s
assembly of the Noxwalk M. E. church
at a meeting of that organization held
in the church. Mr. Lamson depicted
the effect of modern conditions on
the church. 0
“\Vhat is the cause of empty church-
es?" asked Mr. Lamson. “Is it with
the church. itself or with christianity?
The trouble does not lie with either.
but with the individual. The great/dif-
ficulty lies in the fact that none of
us practice the Golden Rule." ‘
“I would suggest a new bill of
rights," went on Mr. Lamson. “for the
children. I'nder this bill all children
would have:—
The right to a decent birth: this
means a clean. healthy b'irth.
The right to a perfect conservation

The right to a. moral development.
The right to a decent living under

The right to acknowledge.

76 less than was actually collected;
and $15.68 more than was collected
during the last week of the ten cent

The reports for the 10 weeks show
