$500 in the campaign for the Danbury | Hospital, the amount being almost | 1 equally derived from the Center and 1 Ridge sections as one unt and the | west side as the other. The allotment l for the territory was s150o that re- l suits fell short of it by nearly 50 per Icent.

 i Speeding at the rate of about 3a
 miles an hour a Ford car struck deep rut opposite the Episcopal church | last Sunday and upon descen ding af-
 ter a high bound turned the adjacent corner leading down a steep hill. StiL
 gyrating wildly it plunged into the

 was only slightly damaged and pro
 ceeded on their way. They hailed from Bridgeport and did not give their names.

 | Ten of the alumni of the Sanford Ischool came to the Ridge for the re-
 union which began last Saturday and lcontinued until Monday afternoon. On
 Saturday evening they attended a full dress reh earsal of two plays presented in the gym by the present students. The performance went with admirable
 smoot othness and effect and had the ad-

 one of the teaching staff who super ivised the production. At 10:1o on sun . day morning all attended a service at the Episcopal church and heard a
 school sermon on The Sower" deiiv-

 held there. There were about 300 chil-
 dren, each ca irving a flag. in the. pro- : cession which during the forenoon marched to the cem etery and took 3 part in the ceremony of decorating

 way has progr essed northward from
 Pine Tree Corner nearly to the Epis-

 regard for the travelling public than

 In building the Bethel end of the line the contractor was careful to prop I erly cover the broken stone after it was deposited so that there was left
 at no time more than a rod or so of
 rough going, but no such considera- ton marks his recent methods, the . usual stretch of tribulation, ruinous , to auto tires and tempers, being near . 1 ly half a mile. What makes the situ- . alton more agravating is the presence | of piles of screenings dumped at the roadside and only needing to be e spread to furnish remedy. Surprise 2 and indignation is expressed that the 0 engineer of the State Highway de = partnert assigned to the supervision l of the job should. permit the contin- = uanee of such methods.
