 NeWiDstOn Is Growing

1 Good progress Wus mud" in the 1 campaign for S2500O for the Home 1 for Crippled Children over sunday. ! While it was hard on account of the ] storh. tn" campai@ncrs covered the ! ground in good shape and in most 1 cases received Il ready response. No ! appeal which has ever been put be- [ fore the public has touched their l sympathy more quickly than this, it l is reported and thc first person so : hcartleSs ;s to turn the r;lnvasscrs 1 ''doWn coId." is vet to be heard from 1 Honorary Chairman F.. Allen Moore l reports that the people are rcSpond- 1 ing generously and he feels en- 1 rourHged with the outlook. He feels that everyone must % unrcserVcdlN , into the campaign in order 10 have New Britain 50 cover the top" Mr. Moore has called H meeting of the leaders of tin" campui.n for this aft "rn"on to get more accurate tabs on the progress being made.
 Everyone who has been to the home speaks in the highest praise of the mama cement. The children are. 1t would seem, even a hit happier than the ordinary bunch of normal children of the same size. No one looking at them stops to think of their being unfortunate. People come away actually marNelin2 at the tact shown hN Hiss Leigh and her assist ants in charge of the home
 Anyone who is not reached by the c;Invasscrs today or tomorrow may . cut out the pledge published in Sat uriHNS advertisement and ill it out for :; substantial sum, and send il in : to Treasurer (. r.. sheldon. The !. ca nIpaign is SO short. and the going ! is so hard on account of the snow ! that many who can well afford to help !! in this movement are bound to be ! =oVerloOked.
 New Britain s quota is s25.o0o 1 though the work is said tu he deserv- i ing of $5N,000 from this city From d purely selfish standpoint. New Britain is receiving more benefit from the home than many of the other cities It SO happened that Of the 106 children. 1 are from this city, so that 10 per cent of the inmates are local youngsters and the people of the city have only been called upon to pledge one-tWcnticth of the amount of $500,- 900 set f"r the state campaign.
