Camera Club of Bridgeport
Holds First Exhibition
This Week.

There were in the neighborhood OF
200 who attended the formal opening
Of the Day Nursery on Ogden street
which is to be conducted, under the
auspices of the Catholic Charitable bu-
real. The house which is located at
$40 Ogden street was open to the pub
lie from two to five o'clock and all
those who inspected 1t were much
pleased with the arrangements that
had been made for the care of the
children.
F Rev. Mathew Judge was present and
he made short address. The mem
bers of the Round Table Gathering
were all present and acted as hos
tesses. showing the visitors around the
house and later in the afternoon serv-
ing light refreshments. The Sisters
from Emmetsburg, Pa, who are to
have the care Of the children are ex-
pected to arrive this week and as soon
as they are here the Nursery will be
open.
Those who wish to have their chill
dren care for at this Nursery must
make application to the Catholic
Charitable Bureau and these applica-
lions can be filed now at the office

having these applications filed Is that
they n1ya be investigated SO that those
in charge may be sure there is a real
necessity for leaving the children at
the Nursery. The Nursery space is linn
tied and therefore 1t is desired to be
sure that only worthy cases are cared
for. A goodly store Of provisions and
utensils of various kinds were donated
at the opening day, but there is still
need for a refrigerator and another
kitchen table.

it was decided to cut down the per-
centage Of employees at the club to 80
| per cent. Of their present number in
| an effort to reduce the running ex-
| penses of the club and which are
| monthly causing a very appreciable
| deficit. The war has taken many of
the members away and members OF
society are too busy with war relief
OF one sort or another to do very
much entertaining. All of the young
i men who have gone into the service
of the United States in one branch OF
| another that were members of the
| club are being carried on the books
| without payment Of dues. 1t was
thought at first that the club would
have to be closed, but by the pro.

4 possible for the club to still keep it,
doors open.
