BEDDING

Redding, May 2o-In these times of unrest and alarm keep your feet on the ground and your mental vision undimmed was the counsel given by Sumragan Bishop AcheSon in his ser mon at the Episcopal church last Sunday evening. The air was filled with a turmoil of. deceptive vasaries clamorously urged and these giving credulous heed to them were in danger of being diverted from the fundamentals of truth and righteous ness. A congregation which filled the church Ito capacity listened to the sermon with close attention The Bishop administered confirmation to a class consisting of Mrs. Mary J. Cole, Seymour Barnes, Richard Busck, Howard Husfey and William Siefried-the latter three are pupils of the Sanford SchoolEand Walter Tredwen of Weston. The musical part of the services was beautifully rendered by the full choir.
 Of the $360, 900 which is the ob- 3ectfVe of the Danbury hospital drive Reddtngs allotment is the compara- lively modest sum of $1,5o0. The campaign will cover 22 towns and final plans for 1t were unfofded at a meeting of all the commattee leaders held today at Danbury. The extent to which the hospital serves the needs of the afflicted of this town is indi- caited by the fact that Bedding has sent to it seven patients in the last two months, some of them very seri- ous cases. It need hardly be said that the more generous the response to the present appeal the greater will be the iIstitution's facilities and the more efficient it's services. Mrs. Raymond Cunningham, head of the committee assigned to the Ridge and Center sections, has appointed as her assistants Mrs H. c. McCollam, Mrs Randolph Bradley, Mrs. w. C. San ford, Miss Isabelle Mcdonald, Mrs. F. W. Roseneau, Miss Bradley of the Sanford School, Mrs A. H. Sanford, Mrs. Kate V. St Mauer and Mrs. Fred Wood
 The prospects are that the SaIva- tion Army drive will fail to realize the set quota of $4OO, although com plete returns may make a better showing than earher indications promise. In Georgetown no canvass CTS for the cause could be secured, the Army's appeal being put in the background by the hospital campaign and also by the raising of funds to defray the cost of the Fourth of July
 
 hold this year as usual.
 The dog licenses taken out this year number less than 200, which is less by 50 or 60 than the usual num- Der. Whether the decrease means that the town has fewer dogs or non observance of the law will not be known until the dog warden surveys the field.
