gram for Friday
Night
Extensive preparations are being
completed this week to entertain “a
large gathering of fathers and sons
of Norwalk at the Father and Sen
Banquet to be held at the South
Norwalk Baptist church next Friday
evening. The various committees
which the Young Men's Club of the
church have appointed to arrange
for the banquet reported that things
are well under way.
dinner is to be provided.
As has been previously announced
in this paper. a feature of unusual
interest will be the address by Rev.
John L. Davis. Besides being the
leader of one of the largest men's
Bible classes in the country. Mr.
Davis is in continual. demand for
addresses to business men's organ-
izations. luncheon clubs. and all
kinds of men's organizations or the
various churches. A good number
0! men and boys from all over the
city are planning to be present for
this event. Herbert Ilirst. who has
cucrge Ot' the musical features of the
program. reports that he has been
able to arrange a. very attractive
program.
This movement to hold father and
son gatherings is in keeping with n
recommendation which President
Coolidge recently embodied in a let—
ter to the National Chairman of the
Father and Son Committee of the
1'. iii. 6. A President Coolidge rec»
ognizcs these father and son gath-
erings as one of the best ways to
tester good citizenship and to as-
sist the nation to prcpure for such
World emergencies as might. arise.
Referring to these father and son
banquets, President oolidge so} a: .
"In view 0! the present condi.
tions throughout the “orld which
might involve cvc
try. now so contcn ed and peaceful.
it seems peculiarly appropriate that
there should be launched in cur
own land a. program that has its
chief objective ardesiro that fathers
rcconsccrate themselves to their pn-
tcrnal Obligations. and that the at-
tention of the sons he directed to
their obligations to their fathers. to
‘ ' ' History points in no un-
certain terms to the (act that great
advances in civilization have- come
as a result of the awakening of
spiritual forces within the individ-
ual. No more appropriate way to
accomplish this can be devised than
that proposed in the plans tor the
National Father and Son move-
ment."
Signed CALVINOCOOLIDGE.
Among those who will assist in
the program Will-1 be Rev. Lester T.
Mallory. the new pastor at the
church: Judge Nehemiah Candee.
who will give a. toast to the sons,
and Edgar Rhodlo who will give a

tomorrow night at the South Main.
street headquarters. As things stand
today. members of the lodge are
considering whether it would be
more advisable to construct a. new
home rather than add to the pres.
ent structure.
Plans (or an addition to the South
Main street home are in the making.
These plans call {or an extension or
the ilrst door to form a large audi-
torium with a stage with floor space
as large as the Norwallt armory.
The plans further call for the re-
furnishing of the lodge room proper
on the second floor and for making
the basement into a pool and bil-
liard room. The proposed changes
would cost about $35,000. Some
mbers feel that it would be better
put this money into a new build-
ing rather than/add to the present
structure. A vote will be taken on
the matter at the meeting.
In addition to the discussion oi
this project \Vednesday night will

All of the chairs or the lodge will
