Another summer section is that
or Tokeneke and the adjacent one
of Butler's Island. Like so many
of these "islands" of this section.
Butler's Island is connected to the
mainland by a. road. In these sec'
tions or in Darien itself. one can
find a suitable summer home.
From its seashore to the hills in-
land. it has a native charm that
has appealed to such residents as
John McCormack. Louis Joseph
Vance. Arthur Somers Roche. Wil-
liam Zeigler. Jr.. Richard Le Gal-
iiene. the poet. the evangelist gypsy
“Pat" Smith and artists at voice
and pen of national repute.
While the town has in its confines
many magnificent estates of great
area. it has also an even greater
number of acres on which are set
the modern homes of the average
American.
In recent years its charm has
drawn hundreds at New York resi-
dents who at first but summer visi-
tors. have found the train service
and auto roads of such high quali-
ty as to ring their suburban homes
within q lck reach of the metropo-
lis. This of late years has been re- ,
flectcd in the ever increasing num-
ber of people who make their all-
year-round home in the town or
Darlen.
Truly modern in its civic govern.
ment, Daricn has recognised its
residential appeal. There are no
factories in the town and building
is carefully restricted with an eye
to future development by the town
pionning commission.
Police Force Established
A modern police torce. crested by
an act or the 1925 -session or the
Connecticut Legislature, insures pro-
per protection. Recognition oi: Dar-

Pear Tree Point for rebuilding the
bathing beach and constructing a
new bathing pavilion. This beach
is restricted to residents of the
town only.
For the sportsmen there is the
Wee Burn Golf club.
