He was nineteen. Unlike most lads
.,,;from the other side he did not have
"his heart set on New York. For some
human or other he had selected
.3-1’hiladelphia for his field of endeav-
‘ or. Probably the real reason was
;«_-that the Pennsylvania lluilroud had
will main offices here and he had neon
“some literature which called the
.;._Pennsylvaliia the "standard railroad
of America." The lad thought the
..-,“Qandurd" should be good enough
.for him.
Being something of a. wizard at
.I..finances he made a. clicker with the
mold cabmen at the dock in New York

”Jersey City ferry. Landing at the
«ferry the oabmen demanded twice
:the stipulated tee. refusing to give
“up the baggage until the led from
oflreland should pay the added fare.
" The lad let fly with his good Dub.

‘ ORGANIZATlilN
N at to Conflict With
‘ Improvement Assoc.
—--To Represent East
Ave. Residents
Tho'distrlct along East avenue
north from thovrallrosd bridge has
increased so rapidly that residents
‘of the section are to meet tomorrow
evening ,in the Do M'otte school to
plan for an organization of new
neighborhood club.
Prominent citizens of the section
feel that this neighborhood has no
means of, expressing itself or get-
ting togeth'er. East Norwalk proper
has its Improvement Association. it
is pointed out. but its interests are
not wholly identical with those of
residents further up East avenue.
Verbal notice of the meeting has
been issued by leaders in this section.
notably. Prof. George Krupp, and
Mr. Laurence De Motto.
Prof. George Krupp. when iter-
viewed yesterday. said: “In no sense
are we trying to replace the East
Norwalk Improvement Association.
We feel'that there is. more exactly.
a neighborhoqdhere, which can pos-
sibly be represented by a club. We
will work in cosrclation. perhaps.
with the Improvement Association.
Whether the club will succeed will
depend on the amount of interest.
East Nerwalk, it is pointed out.
covers such a relatively large area
of ground for its population that it
is impossible to combine community
interests in the fact of rapid growth.
The meeting in the De Motto school
is open to any who care to attend.
A large attendance is. expected.

Work on the Life Guard station
at Calf Pasture continued steadily
yesterday and this morning. The
frame for the porch has been com-
pleted and the rafters are all strung
on the reef. The roof is to be pitch-
ed toward the back of the building.
By the end of this week it is
planned to lay the floors. Because
of the‘cool weather yesterday even-
ing hardly a. dozen machines parked
to watch the guards at work. No-
body cvcn thought of swimming.
The rain of over .iho weekend
and the recent. slight attendance
have cut into the business at Nick
Estcrphan's concessions for the past
few days. However. the concession-
aires.arc plamilng to stage an exhl~
bitlon for July 4th which they think
beaches for several years. ‘
l’ndcr the direction of Harry
Kelideltes and ’"Nick" himself, a
fireworks display will be given in
the evening. The show will be set
off from the float. when it is moor-
ed once more. and will probably be
touched off by the Life Guards to
insure safety to onlookers and over-
curious watchers in boats. A large
assortment of night pieces has been
ordered.
Still another addition has been
made at Calf Pasture. Under thi
direction of Michael Riordan, ihret
sets of parallel bars have been erect-
ed between the newLife Saving sta-
tion arts the bathing pavilion. This
will provide bothers with a chance
to exercise without resorting to leap-
frog in their efforts to warm yup.
