is interesting to know. also. that t
toll cable between Washington and
Boston passes throush this city. ‘so
that the Norwalk subscriber calling
either of these points. or any at the
intermediate points served through
this big cable. receives service over
lines that are carried underground
tor the entire distance.
The recent completion or the ca.
bio between Ne York and Chicago
now makes it possible for a Nor-

over cables as far west as Mil-

Another item on the big construc-
tion program tor this city is for
poles and wire which will coat about
$30. 000. New poles will be needed
in connection with the aerial min.-
and for extension or the service in
new areas in the Norwalk txcltnngv.
and also for replacement 01' old
poles.

sibly a few minor changes, iv

which required the expenditure of
about 098.000 and now provides
adequate housing facilities for the

during the year either. no the com-
pani recently completed a switch-

providing five additional positions at
the local and two additional posi-

religious education in the schools
has been tried many. many times and
is even now in force in some coun~
tries but who will say that the im-
migrants from these countries make
better eltlsens than those who have
not been subjected to this influence?
'Commissioner Butterdeld went on
to say that there is no evidence that
instruction in theology makes for
character and that it is not true that
the children of yesterday were any
better then these of today.

Commissiontr Butterneid received
loud'applsuse' when he declared that
modern youth is no worse than in
former days and tho following rc-
niarks were especially well received
by the club members and guests:
“I wish to commend the thousands
of parents. who, in the face of
thoughtless criticism, with intcliigent
care and with unmeasured devotion.
rear their children and make the
homes of America. better.
"Similarly. I wish to honor the vi-
brant young people of today, worthy
of the love which parents lavish upon

state has in them.
