The first. meeting of a newly organ-
izerl committee. to be known as llit‘
Cull Pasture Beach Floats committee.
which was appointed by Mayor Cah in
l.. Barton, will be held tomorrow
evening at 8 o'clock at the City 111111.
This committee consists of Council-
man George E. Ingham. of the Third
Ward. as chairman, Harrison Vedtlt-r
of Strawberry Hill. as treasurer,
while others on the committee are
Vlctor W. Ferris, Alfonso Canevari.
and Albert 1). Mbrgan. while Mayor
Barton is an ex-officio member.
Subscriptions to the fund to he
raised. may be sent to P. O. Box 71,
Nor-walk, to any of the committee or
ht: left at the main offices of the Eye—
uinp; Sentinel or the Norwalk Hour,
or at, the store of Committeeman Mor-
gan. 84 Washington street.
Subscription books are to be round
the local newspaper offices. where
subscribers to the fund can leave
their names and-the amounts the;
gave, {W'fund to be used for floats
and moorings, life lines. life bout
equipment. life guard equipment, etc.
for the safety of swimmers at the
beach. and for the care and maln-
tenance of the equipment, all of
which will become the property of the
city of Norwalk. to be used exclusn'e-
ly on and for Calf Pasture Beach.
The money for use for the beach
will not be available until next year,
and some provision is desirei to be
made this year hence the forming of
the committee to function in the mat-
ter and to handle the funds which are
to be given by the citizens. .
This is to be a. popular subscription,
so that small amounts are just as wel-
Come as are large ones.
It has been suggested that' people
who go to the beach donate a. certain
amount. a dime or a. quérter for each
time that they attend. and this money
will go to the fund. This is not
compulsory however, out, is a. sugges-
tion. .
Mayor Barton has already contribu-
ted to the fund, which approximates
$120 at present.i It is hoped to add
to this Sum right along. -' '
Many people in Norwalk do ' not
realize what an asset to the city. Calf
Pasture beach is, nor how much it is
used and appreciated. A visit to the
beach on any Saturday or Sunday will
soon convince them that it is a popu-
and also of the. need for
lifeguards, floats. etc-.. so that they
will without a. doubt be willing and
glad to subscribe to the fund.

him in the following bulletin:
"Viscount Noi-thclttfe died at 10: 12

The death at no other unofficial

moulder of public opinfon. a man of
powerful influence in the making and

who with David’Lloyd George con-
tributed in a. great measure to arous-

He was created Baron of the Isle of

in 1917 after he had served with dis.-
tinction as head of the British mis-
sion to the United States to consoli-.
date British interests here during the

To Viscount Northclifie is ascribed
the amusing of the British public to
a knowledge of the fact that the Brit-

equipped with high explosive sheila,
that British guns on the French trout
were short-of ammunition and ' 1‘.

35,788 cases for whom' the cause was
reported, the blindness was caused by
some specific disease of the eye such
as cataract. or glaucoma; and in 5, 623
cases or 15. 7 per cent. it was a. result
of some general disease such as mea-
sles. meningitis or s'carlet fever. Ac—
cidents accounted for 5,913 cases or
16.5 per cent. of the total. There
were 1,429 persons in the number
whose blindness was caused by ex—
plosives or firearms. Cataract; the
leading cause was reported by 4, 898
or 13.7. Glaucoma, which ranked next.
was reported by 1. 932, or 5. 4 per cent.
Atrophy of the optic nerve was given
as the cause by ;,756. or 4.9 per. cent.
Ophthalmia.’ neonatorium, or “ba-

been a. marked decrease in the rela—

disease is indicated by recent statistics

Which show that only 14.7 per. cent.
1918 were reported as blind from
ophthalmia, as against 24. 2 per cent?
of the students then... attending who
had entered in. previous years. This
disease reflects the more general
