‘ Many Signers to Darien
Petition for Bus Line
, Into South Norwalk
Ernest B. Crofoot Says Benefits to Be Derived Justify
Appeal to Highest Authorities, If Necessary—
Proposed Line Would Pay Soon After Being Es-
tablished—Norwalk Board of Trade Co-operates
A petition carrying the names of 150 of the leading citizens
of Darien has been drawn up to be presented to the oiiiolals of
the Connecticut company and is expected to carry considerable
weight in the light now being made by Darien and the Norwalk
Board of Trade to have the company run a bus line between the
g.
two communities. ‘
Crofoot Determined.
Ernest B. Crofoot. prominent in
the Darien group cooperating with
the board. declared this morning
that every phase of the proposition
has been gone into by those interest-
ed and that the benefits expected
warrant carrying the matter to the
highest authorities of the road. if
necessary.
He pointed out that the proposed
line might not be at first profit-
nble, as the company claims in oppo-
sition. but that it must inevitably be
popular since it will cater to a. part
of the populatiori in the district that
does not even use the trolley line
because it is. in most cases, too for
distant. The tentative route the two
parties suggest is from Darien Cen-
ter over the Post road to North
street. formerly called Seminary
street. to Old King's highway and the
Nourish: dividing line, and over
Ilaxhili road to South Norwaik.
"The line will be s. wonderful
thing and will. in my opinion. show
no deficit after a. couple of weeks
to! operation." Mr. Crofoot said. "In
serving people who live a mile or a
' mile and a quarter from the trolley
line it would serve those who rarely
patronize Not-walk amusements or
stamibecauso of the inconvenience
ind would in time prove a definite
asset to the city."
The matter has been placed be-

committee will place the new pet!-
tion before him. Among those who

Rector Denies Part in Sale
C
of Antiques pr Claim-
ed to Be Mode
Suit for 3750 has been started by
Arthur J. and Mrs. Collins of New
York against the Rev. Louis S. and
Mrs. Howell of this city. alleging
that the Howells sold some furniture
as antiques and that the furniture
was of modern manufacture.
The plaintiffs also state they sold
Mr. Howell a Chippendale chair for
which they have not yet been paid.
The sales are alleged to have been
made in September 1925.
Mr. Howell is rector of St. Paul's
Episcopal church and resented very
keenly last evening. newspaper re-
ferences to the suit implylrh; that
he was in the antique furniture
business as a "side line" to the ole-
rical profession.
“It was nothing I had anything to
do with" said Mr. Howell to the
Sentinel last evening. “Mrs. Howell
had the chairs and it was she who
sold them. There is nothing more
to say about the matter now than
that the suit will be answered in
court." ‘

Civil War Veterans. veterans of
America‘s other two wars and their
auxiliaries made up a crowd of 300
special guests at the vesper services
in St. Mary's church last night. The
Knights of Columbus led the pro-
cession. formed at the Catholic
club. and were followed by Grand
Army Veterans. the Spanish Ameri-
can War Veterans. the American
Legion and Veterans of Foreign
Wars. and their auxiliaries. includ-
ing the Women's Relief corps.

rick's church in Hartford. who was
himself a captain in the World War
gave the special Memorial Day ad-
dress of the services. -
lie sounded the note of the ob-
servance in saying "This is just one
of thousands of similar meetings
throughout the country today and
tomorrow. Let us hope that the feel-
ing will always make the observance
thus. Tomorrow many a grave will
be decked with flowers. Tonight we
meet 'that the dead may not be for-
gotten and in doing so we know that
when it comes our turn to go that
we shall be remembered in the
same way.
With us we have seated a few of
the thinning ranks. who fought for
the unity of our country. Men who
once were stalwart. once deep of
shoulder and chest. Their lives have
not far to run. But Just as they
fought through the fray with thin-
ning ranks side by side. “they still
fight the battle of life shoulder to
shoulder. May God bless them."
Father Dolan. paid in turn the
highest tribute to the non-combat-
ants in America's struggles. “God
Forbid." he said. "that we should
forget the suffering of those who
fought. But we should neither- for-
get those who did not fight. Those
mothers and wives whose service
brought no medals. I beg you c -
rndcs not to forget. Go out of y or
way to offer a kind word or deed
to such as these."
He related his own personal ex-
perience in finding a young widow
decorating the grave of her 2‘ year
oldvhusband who had fallen in bat-
tle, and foilowed'the touch of pathos
with the recitation. of a. poem on
the spirit to be shown on the occas-
ion.
The Eterlihl Virtues.
In the course of the first part of
the address Father Dolan declared:
“We appreciate progress and we
want to be progressive in the true
sense of the word. but on such a
day we must stop to consider that
we must not always place material
thing! first. All‘ material things
change in the course of time but
those things we are gathered here
to observe. right, justice. truth. and
honor. never change.
"Please God we will uphold‘ them
now during peace as we did when
we were forced to fight that they
might‘be upheld. That we may keep
up the policy of a state that had the
vehicle. it was gone.
