Praises E. T. Bed-
ford’s Generosity
With two days to go to reach the
”0.000 goal. the “drive “for the
Nurses’ Home and Training School
today reached a total of $51,428.90.
At the laying of the corner stone
of the new Nurses' Home. Mr. E. '1‘.
Bedford. who will give a dollar for
every dollar contributed here said:
“I hope that in the coming cam-
paign every one in Norwalk will be
able to say. ‘I own a brick in the
Nurses‘ Home! If he can say that
he should feel as good as those who
own many bricks. Let every one
stand by the Norwalk Hospital and
the new Nurses‘ Home. This is your
institution. "
These words of Mr. Bedford's. the
committee points out. should find
and are finding a ready response in
the hearts of Nfl‘Wfllk peoplgw‘itb
incugh the city's now almo‘s'
pletely canvassed, there are. of
course. many persons who have not
been solicited for aid in this great
cause.
Those who have not yet been ap-
preached are urged to phone 1490,
.which is the Hospital Headquarters,
corner West avenue and Butler
street, and ask to have someone call.
Pledges may also be left at Hos-
or mailed in. It is not necessary
that the cash in full accompany each
pledge. as the Drive Committee is
willing to allow persons who wish
to give but cannot pay cash now,
six months in which to make pay-
ment in full.
Those who have already contrib-
uted but see their way clear to add
once as the Drive is still far from
the total of $80, 000 to be raised.
When speaking to a meeting of
the Team Captains, Mr. John Cav-
anagh. President of Crofut & Knapp
and vice-President of the Hospital.
said:
“If all the people in Norwalk rea-
lized that in offering to pay a dollar
for every dollar contributed to the
Nurses’ Home Fund. Mr. E. T. Bed-
ford is really asking Nor-walk to
show its appreciation of his willing- -
nose to pay half the cost of the
Nurses' Home and Training School.
the response from all quarters would
be- so liberal and spontaneous that
the quota of $80. 000 would be easily
and quickly reached.
"It is a wonderful thing for a city
like ours to have the support of a
philanthropist like Mr. E. T. Bed-
ford. for it enables us to have our
needed Hospital equipment at avery
small cost to the citizens. If the
Hospital were supported through
city founds. our taxes would be very
much higher than they are. Fortu-
nately, through Mr. Bedford’s gen-
erosity the people of Norwalk are
spared the necessity of having to
carry the full burden.
“We simply cannot fail to rise to
the occasion and raise the necessary
funds. not only to pay for our
Nurses' Home. but to show Mr. Bed-
ford that we are willing to do our
part in emaintaining an institution
which benefits all of us and does not
benefit him at all."
“These words from Mr. Cavanagh
are truths that show why those who
hails not been asked to contribute
should do so quickly and liberally,
and why those who have already
given something should increase the
amount of their pledges if possible.
Up to this noon the team of Cap-
tain W. P. Mllligan of The Evening

total of 116 subscriptions to its cred-

Together they song "When Jesus

followed them with this new song,
ringing out the “Happy Day" and
"Hallelujah" of the Joyful refrain.
"Bob" is very much pleased with the
way the Norwalk folks pick up these
songs, which is no doubt due to the
