1t was announced today that prac-
tfcally all the returns from the recent
"Save-the Baby campaign had been
made to the Associated Charities and
the amount raised was about $4,000.
This exceeds a little the amount of
last year, and under the circumstances
with the many appeals in all direc-
tons. the committee in charge feel
The report was mate at a meeting
of the Executive Committee by Mrs.
DeVer H. Warner, its chairman, and
the detail discloses some interesting
figures. The bulk of the contributions
came through the manufacturers of
the community, who were approached
through a committee composed of Mr..
Sumner Simpson, Mr.. Dever H. War
ner and Mr.. Walter B. Lashar, and the
aggregate Of their subscriptions was
$3.50.
The merchants, who are easily with
in reach of a Ibombardment in every
direction for funds, responded with
SASS.
Perhaps the most interesting return
is that Of the school children. Through
an arrangement with the Board of
Education, permission was given to
distribute dime cards to the children
and many of them worked very earn
estly and enthusiastically, as is attest
ed by the fact that through this chan
mel $1.126 was secured. The Sunday
schools were also approached in a
similar manner and raised $3.50. The
committee in charge. as an incentive
to the youngsters offered a wrist
watch to the boy and to the girl who
would return the largest amount
through the cards. The committee at
it's meeting awarded the girls prize
to Miss Katherine Billiard, of the
Fairfield Congregational Sunday
school, who raised $11.35. The boys
watch was awarded to Walter High
lander of the First Methodist Sunday
school, who returned $11.12.
The report showed that $3.50 had
been collected in theatres, 1852 in a
general collection and over $4,000
frum subscription pledges, which were
sent out by the committee. In the
general collection, is represented the
contribution of the policemen and
firemen, who were approached indf-
vidualIy and responded generously.
While the sum received did not
reachthe amount sought, the cam
paign awakened wide interest in the
Visiting Nurses Association and its
work and the Day Nurseries, both In
the West End and in the center OF the
city and sowed the seed for the es-
Enlistment of a new nursery in East
Bridgeport There is already a small
sum set aside as a nucleus for the es-
adjustment of this branch and it is
probable that active steps will be tax
en- to open such a branch if even on
a small scale during the winter.
The committee at it's meeting for
the final acceptance of it's report voted
to extend its appreciation to all wao
had participated in the campaign and
also to those who had SO generously
given.
Under the auspices of the ladies OF
st. Mary's parish there is to be a min
strel show on Monday evening in st.
Mary's hall on Pembroke street. A
