sulhe new Hose Company members to
“turn the second floor into a. club
Jiouse, moving the pool. billiard and
card tables there. Opponents of
this plan are hostile to it for several
a reasons. They say people have ga-

M'piays, political meetings and other
mpublic activities. They claim the

Miss Marjorie Dufault. daughter
of Mrs. Blanche Dufault. of Cud-
vlipp» street. was the speaker at
the Baptist/Church Sunday morning
services. The topic of her sermon
was. “Live Fully." Her talk was
eloquent and full of parables and il-
lustrations. She stressed especially
‘ the fact that we are prone to pass
' by many opportunities which come
to use. instead of making the most
of them. The congregation greatly
appreciated and commended Miss
. Dufault on her talk. Mrs. Harold
' Bevington rendered a solo selection
"Confidence" at the offcrtory. Great
_ credit is due the young people of
the Baptist church for the way
they are conducting the services
during the absence of their pastor.
Rev. Victor Scalise. is the general
opinion.

gun. The directors and officers of
this hospital are the man behind the
gun. Of caurso. for myself, everyone
know. that '1 am merely a figure-
head. I sit back and watch them all
do the work. '
"1 want. the people of Nor-walk to
appreciate the work that they are
doing though. in our Vice-Presl-
dent we have a really good man.
The work being done by the doctors
of Not-walk is a wonderful achieve-
ment too. They do a whole lot
charltably. In fact. I think there
is no class of men that does more
for charity.
This building is not a luxury. it
is a. necessity. I hope that in the
coming campaign, everyone in Nor-
walk will be able to say. ‘I own of
brick in that building.‘ If they can
say that. they should feel as good
as the more fortunate man who can
say. ‘I own many bricks there.‘
“As to the nurses of our hospital.
those women—or I will call them.
those ladies—are soon to leave a
building which has not been‘a cred-
it to us. 1 don't think servants
would live in such quarters.
“Finally. I ask everyone to stand
by the Norwalk Hospital. Don't lis-
ten to the people who say. ‘You
know—J That's all they can say. Its
all they do say. but its about. the
meanest thing they can say.”
General Russell F‘rost said:
"In the pale moonlight of his
room. Abou Ben Adhem awoke and
saw the vision of an angel writing
in a book of gold.
‘What writost thou?’ said
Ben Adhem.
'The angel answered. “The names
of those who love the Lord.’
‘And is mine one?’ said Abou Ben
Adhem.
'Nay. not so.’ replied the angel.
In lower tones Abou said: 'I pray
thee then write me as one who loves
his fellow mso.‘
The angel wrote and vanished and
on the next night came back in a
strange awakening light and show-
ed the names of those whom love
of God had blessed and. Lo! The
name Ben Adhem lead the rest.
"80 Leigh Hunt teaches us that
the love of our fellow men is the
love of God and that we cannot
truly love the Lord unless in obedi-
ence of his command. we love our
neighbor as ourselves. ""
"it was the love of their fellow-.
men that led the people of Norwalk
and adjoining communities to build
this beautiful hospital for service to
the sick and suffering. It is 'the
love of these people that now moves
thcm‘to erect this handsome home
for nurses and indespsnaable acces-
sory to the service of the'hospital.
because without nurses a hospital is
impossible. And without a home.
a corps of nurses is impossible. It
was the love of our fellowmen that
led the onlcers and the directors of
this association and the medical
staff and the Women's Board to give
freely of their time and service in
cums: on tbs hummuork of the
hospital. It is the love of their
Bedford and Mr. Famll/ absorbed
as they are in the industrial and
the commercial life of the nation
to give their time and attention to
the administration of the hospital
so that there may be a place where
the sick may be restored to health.
the afflicted may receive tender
service: the suffering may be re.
lieved of their pain and the pathway
made more smooth and gentle for
those who go down into the valley
of the shadows and pass over to the
great beyond. .
“When a certain man journeying
from Jerusalem to Jorico fell among
thieves .who stripped him of his
raiment. wounded him And depart-
ing. left him half dead. the priest of
the Levitsa saw him and passed by
on the other side. But a certain
Samaritan journeying that way saw
him and was moved with compas-
sion and went to him and bound up
his wounds and pouring oil and
wine upon them and placed him
upon his own boat and took him
to the inn and cared for him and on
the morrow. when he departed. he
took twmpence and gave it to the
host and said to him: "rake care
of him and if thou spendeat more.
when I come again I will repay
thee.‘ That was the good Samar-
itan. .
"Everyone who ,oontrlbutos to the
building and completion of this
beautiful Nurses' Home is a good
Samaritan because he helps the
sums here to bind up the wounds
of the stranger within the gates as
well as those of the people in our
community: We believe there are
good Samaritans enough among our
people to more than contribute to
the completion of this home for the
service of humanity.
"These noble buildings. standing
upon this commanding site over-
looking the busy life of ' the city
where men and women work and
play and toil and love and mourn
and rejoice and am. one another
and overlooking the waters of the
Sound. dancing and sparkling in the
sunlight and Jeweled with emerald
islands as picturesque and beautiful
as can anywhere be found. will
stand for future generations as an
exunple. an inspiration. a mono-
ment and memorial to those of’ this
man. a witness to the fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of man.

sible mayoralty candidate. said.
"l introduce to you one who
doesn't need it. in spite of the fact
that a local newspaper mentioned
‘Iomeono else' for the next mayor. I
not only introduce the present. May-
or of the City of Not-walk. but the
next. Mayor. Thomas Robins.
Mayor Itob‘us said:
“With all due respect to brother
Cavsnagh. being our next mayor, he
will find he is not mayor of South
Norwalk. but of the whole city. and
in that case he'll assume a great
responsibility."
Mayor Robins continued that a
home was never more needed for
the Nurses than today. He spoke of
the old times. when must drives
were gfven by Mrs. John H. Ferris
and Mrs. John Knapp for the home.
Closing, he said:
"On the first of September. I pro-
pose to ask the City to donate 85,-
000 to this fund. and it. ll a done.-
tlon I hope the city will make."
After an address by Dr. William
Munson. Charleton Bates Strayer.
Superintendent of the Hospital
said:
"This building today is somewhat
larger than we need. But we shall
grow into it. The old hospital had
a capacity of only 25 beds. When
the new hospital. .pvlth 75 beds was
built, it seemed too large. but we
have grown so fast, that there have
been times recently when we did not
have room enough to take .care of
all the patients. it is not. extrava-
gant to erect such a home. and it
will soon be as fully occupied as the
hospital. ‘
“When it is completed. we will get
more student nurses. and we are
"about fo'seek registration “in ’ths
State of New York. whose stand-
ards are the highest in the coun-
try." .

(on, however. the country suffers no
historic loss. ,
The building destroyed was one of
several huge log structures erected
six years ago on Wilson avenue.
Rowayton. by a now defunct moving .
picture concern. The company soon
died however. and no films were
ever “shot" at tho.locotion.
'l‘he blaze started about 1 a. in.
It was noticed by Mr. and Mrs. Wes-
ley Wood, whose house is opposite
the location. Mrs. Wood said that
she believed it to be of incendiary
origin.
“Some one lit the fire Just to turn -
the fire department. outln my call-
mutton. For that reason I didn't
coll the department. but Just let it ,
burn." .
The log cabin was still burning nt
