‘ MEETING TONIGHT
E. T. Bedford to Sign
Every Bond—Team
Captains ’to Discuss
Campaign
A comparison of the amounts giv-
en by local residents in the present
Hospital Drive with what they gave
in the Drive held four years ago
shows the increased interest in the
present ‘ appeal.
Many fieldents have doubled
their former subscription, and quite
a fevs have gone beyond even that.
Considering that the sum to be
reached is very much larger than
‘ the goal of four years ago, the in-
creased subscriptions are really
necessary for the complete success
of the Drive.
Everyone is urged by the com-
mitm to give to the extent of his
means in this worthy cause, remem-
bering 51.11 the time that for every
dollar given locally Mr. E. T. Bed-
ford will give a dollar.
Great interest is being shown in
Florence Nightingale Bonds which
form an attractive receipt. bearing
interest in good will to all those
who contribute $5.00 or more to-
wards the fund for the Nurses'
Home. As has been previously an-
nounced. Mr. E. '1‘. Bedford, presi-
dent of the Hospital. will sign all
the ‘Fiorance Nightingale Bonds
that are issued.
The moving picture of the Nurses'
Home Corner Stone Laying Exercis-

Norwalk ranks high as a musical

This was the first comment on
Norwalk made by Dr. George Wood
Anderson, revivalist of the New Cru-
sade campaign, which is holding
forth nightly at the tabernacle on
West avenue.
“While I have not been here long
enough to form much opinion on
Norwaik." Dr. Anderson said, "I
must say first that Norwalk is a re-
markable town as regardes to music.
Good Singing.
“To one who passes from town to
town, this becomes apparent. Not
only are the members of the chorus
well attuned to music. but the peo-
ple in the congregation. too. show
that same facility. To me, it is one
of the most marked things in Nor-
walk.
"In my campaign I always use
new hymns. but the Norwelk chorus
