July is, at 11 o'clock at Kai-walk High school grounds. The children from the three playgrounds will assemble at their respective grounds at 9030 o‘clock and will then be organized into ranks of four by their instructors. These ihrcearmies of kiddies will leave their grounds at 10 o'clock and march to their central meet- ing place. the Norwalk High school. The marchers will carry the American flag. their playground col- ors and slogans. The spectators will find their slogans worth reading very carefully. The kiddies are renewing their membership in great numbers and many new members have joined the three playgrounds. 1f the first three days can be used as a criterion. there will be a total of about 1,500 children in the three sections of the parade. The Pledges. The program will consist of the following: L'pon assembling at the school grounds the kiddies will come to at- tention while the flag is being raised and will then pledge their allegiance to the flag and to the playgrounds. "i pledge allegiancedo the flag of the United States and to the lie- publlc for which it stands. one na- tion. indivisible. with liberty and justice for all." Playground Pledge. "I wil not swear on the play- ground. . I will not steal. or destroy public Property. - I will play fair and be truthful. I will do a good turn daily for my playground and my instructors." On completing .the two pledges they will ain’t: America and the Star Spangled Banner. The two songs will close the exercises. The children will then march back to their playgrounds in the same tacti- cal formation as they came. ' Every kiddie in Norwalk is cor- dially invited to join the marchers and every citizen's presence is de- sired to watch the future citizens of Norwalk carry on.

Early this year, under the guid- once of an able executive commit- tee, the Y. M. C. A. movement was started here. Work was carried on more or less “under cover" during which time several persons in Nor- walk were solicited for subscriptions to the enterprise. They responded graciously. The entire required . amount for the construction of a building here is $400,000. A pub- lic campaign will be launched in the Fall. and until that time the work will be carried on by the ex- ecuiive committee in the same way as it has been conducted. Pledging the support of the clergy of Norwalk at a meeting. eld here Tuesday night, the committee in charge will Mrk largely through the local churches when the drive is gotten under way. In a letter given out to all local ministers re- cently, the following statement ap- pears: "it is the hope of the ex- vcul'nc committee that t-lergymen of every denomination or faith will as- sist the work. Surely the project under consideration must appeal to all who are interested in the all around development of the youth of the community." All Christians Welcome Mr. l.unrl said yesterday that the T. M, C. A. here. will be oil) to every one of the Christian faith and he wishes to emphasize the fact ,that the organization will be a communi- ty center. it is expected by the committee that $100,000 more can be obtained before the public drive is actually $100,000 Is Already Balance to Be Sought From Public Campaign Will Begin In Fail To Provide Norwaik With Community Center—Ail Christian Men Welcome—- Much Campaign Work Accomplished.

A's. in Connecticut, according tea statement given out yesterday by John Lund, publicity chair- startcd. The balance of $200,000 will be sought from the people of Norwalk. To Build In Spring Construction will start, Mr. Lund said yesterday. most probably in the spring of 1927. Plans have been carried out successfully thus far in the work. and the committee is con- fident that much help will be forth- coming. It has not divulged the names of any contributors. Site Committee Active. A building site committee is con- sidering construction plots here now. but has not come to any deci- sion in the matter.

TOBYHANNA, July d.—Weli here we are at Tobyhnnna after spending most of the clay riding from Norwalk through a beautiful rolling country over splendid roads, except for a. few miles here and there. It is worthy of note that during the entire dis- tance it was not necessary for us to make even one detour. Upon our arrival we proceeded immediately to the camp group. Captain Lockhnrt drove around and. as he did so. remarked on what a fine place it was. New personally I couldn't see a thing fine about it. Just a big field with a few houses which he called mess shacks. And this place was to be the home of the heavy or- iiliery from Connecticut and the light field artillery from Virginia from the 10th to the 24th of July. Well, perhaps it would be‘ but I didn't see how it was going to be. Danielson Men Arrive. . At 9 this evening we met the in- coming train from New York and we found 35 men from Danielson. Conn.. under the command of Lieuts. Bltgood and Sunderland. Upon inquiry from the captain I found it was an advance pnit whose duty it w0uld be to get the camp ready for the Connecticut regiment. Of course these men had to be taken care of. and so for a couple of hours we were busy first conducting them to their quarters, than helping them get their packs and dually seeing that they got a large contain- er of hot coffee. which had been prepared by the wife of the regular sergeant, who was‘stationed there.
