AUTO THIEVES DODGE POLICE
ON THAMES RIVER BRIDGE

When they were just about to fall into
the hands of the New London police at
the Thames river bridge, thieves who ran
away Wednesday night with the automo-
bile of Supt. Franklin S Wilcox of the
Norwich state hospital doubled on their
tracks and escaped.
There were two men and woman in
the Wilcox car who slipped away from
the New London officers.
DR.. Wilcox was calling in this city
Wednesday night at the home of Archi-
bald Torrance on Mckinley avenue, near
Broad street. having driven there in his
Hudson speedster about o'clock. When
he came out about IS minutes later the
automobile was gone.
The superintendent at once telephoned
to police headquarters and Capt. D. ]
Twomey got word to the Thames river
bridge at New London as we'll as to the
New London police, who stationed men at
the New London end of the bridge.
Shortly afterwards the looked-for car
arrived at the Groton end of the bridge.
where the toll collector recognized it was
the machine that was wanted. Two men
and woman were in the car. He al
lowed them to pay their fare and LET
them drive on, at once stepping into his
booth to telephone to the collector on the
New London end Of the bridge to have
the car held up
But the people in the car checkmated
his move for midway of the bridge they
turned around and drove off the way they
had come on, disappearing in the dark
before they could be stopped.
The toll keeper notified the Norwich
police he thought the car had headed
back towards Norwich, but nothing more
was seen of 1T, although Captain Twomey
sent the Norwich auto patrol down over
the Military highway as far as the bridge
entrance at Groton.

UNITED WORKERS CAMPAIGN
BROUGHT IN S5.435.7

Though the active campaign of the
United Workers was concluded some
weeks ago, money has continued TO come
in until the amount now totals $5,435.79
on hand and $40 to be paid at a later
date Of this amount, s3,532.29 was con-
tributed through the regular district Wis
itation, S1,OS4S5 came from the bust
ness section of the city, S437.25 was
given through a canvass of the manu-
facturers and S3S1.40 was received from
other sources. This latter sum includes
the gift of $21.4O from the Merchants
association.
The amounts received have varied
greatly in size, ranging from $500 to
ten cents. There have been one gift of
$500, one of $500, one of 5000 and seven
of 500. These large donations have
been most gratefully received yet many
of the smaller sums represent a pro
portionately equal generosity. Few have
failed to respond. Some gifts have
come in unsolicited, owing to error or
oversight in the canvass. These gifts
are doubly appreciated. Such errors
seem unavoidable and the United Work
ers would be glad at any time to receive
further unsolicited subscriptions
While the Campaign did not realize
the sum set for it it took a. long step to-
ward it and the committees in charge feel
that through the various activities of the
workers, there is a better understanding
between the United Workers and the
Norwich public than ever before. They
hope that the contributors will follow
their gifts with active interest. attending
the annual meetings, reading the annual
reports and offering any helpful criti-
cism.

At the weekly Bible study hour We'd
nesday evening at the Norwich Y. NJ. c.
A. the topic was Jesus and the Blind
Man. Several scripture passages were
used in the discussion, and some of the
thoughts deducted were the following:
"The blind man in question was born
with his infirnity. and the disciples
were very ready to conclude that his
blindness was a punishment for his sin !;
Jesus practically said to them, don't
dig up the past, but let us help the man
if possible. While it is probably quite
true that if there were no sin. there
would be no suffering. yet we cannot
justly say that a particular punishment
is melted out for a particular sin; if we
believed that, we would largely lose our
sympathy for the suffering. Our atti-
tude toward them spiritua ,ly should be
to lead them toward Christ, and not to
remind them too much of their past.
Jesus evidently suggested that we must
take advantage of every opportunity to
do good for the time is short for us to
serve. Jesus used the clay to develop
faith in the man. and IS he obeyed his
faith was strengthened. While the
neighbors Of the healed man expressed
surprise the Pharisees at once proceed
ed to criticse the Healer because He
healed on the Sabbath. They endeav-
ored to force the healed man to criticise
the One who had healed him. but they
failed to do so. and when he continued
so persistent in his claim, they cast
him out The conclusions were first
that it is easy to look at the bad side

ties and responsibilities third, GhlIst
