president or the club. announced that
he had appointed F. I. Jones, Thomas
McLean and Duncan Frissell on a com-
mittee to investigate the Westport hill
situation. He announced that Arthur
'1‘. Murray ould be the speaker on
January 17; C. L. Campbell of the
Counecticut Light & Power company
would be the speaker on January 11.
A vote of regret over the death of
John J. Fisher. president or the
Bridgeport Kiwanis club, was unani-
mously adopted. it was voted to ex-
pend $50 for‘Christmas cheer for poor
children of Norwalk. A list of the
names of children was furnished iMr.
lLunson by Miss A. C. Wenderoth of
the Red Cross. who also offered her
services in the distribution of the toys.
This action was taken instead of
distributing the usual Christmas bas-
kets. Mayor Calvin L. Barton urged
all members to attend the I’. U. C.

afternoon.
