A pretty home Wedding took place
last night when Miss Bernice Henrietta

as well as to friends of the young

by The Rev. Oscar Sweeney, the bride
being attended by her sister, Mrs. Mil

The tax rate was set at "a and one
half mills. Ten mills has already
been collected (from most people)
and the second extraction will be in
order in August to the extent of IA
and one half mills The council did
something last night and no mistake.
The voters will be thankful. The
charter adherents will see a ray of
sunshine, and everybody ought to be
happy. Let's go and get little team
work in our systems.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-05-27

Well just think. In spite of all the
kicks which the charter received the
past few months; in spite of al the
waste laid to former Town Manager
R. H. Hunter; in spite of expensive
legal advice; in spite of protection
bills for the councilmen (some of
them); in spite OF what many people
believe a. much too high Town hall
salary list; in spite of a, lot of OBJ
stacles that have confronted those of
both sides of the Hunter argument in
their efforts to handle the affairs of
the old town, the tax rate will be a
half mill lower than a year ago. For
the half less mill. Mills Tomlinson can
be thanked more than a little. There
were others, too, but Mills, thinking
of Mills, OWNING property himself;
and thinking of mills of tax money
for other property owners, has main
tanned right along that he could see
no reason for more mills in STRAIT
ford, than mills in Fairfield, mills in
Milford, and mills in Shelton More
power to Mills and less mills.

By JOSEPHINE NIXON HENLEY

Nothing has ever been done," says Bernard shaw. which isn't first imagined"
 It is an everlasting striving to tmake dreams come true that brings waking success. Every castle is first built in the air and held as the minds ideal while patient and enthusiastic labor raises the foundation, lays the cornerstone and erects the solid walls.
 1t was this striving for an ideal by Mrs. w. J. Adams, general chairman of the Birmingham Choral society, which four and q half years ago brought about the organization of the "Community Sing" by her and MT. Robert Lawrence.
 Mrs. Adams has long had in. her mind the idea of great chorus for Birmingham. She was for many years president of the Treble Clef club and was one of the charter members of the Music study club.
 For the past fonr years she has been more especially interested in the building up of musical knowledge and practice among students and the peo- pie of the community.
 Mrs. Adams compares the finished execution of great artists in their concerts to the beautiful stained glass windows of a cathedral and the sing ing of the people to the rugged foun dation of d temple.
 After the first work of the com munity sing nothing further was done until Gordon Erickson was brought |. .here by the municipal music commit Ftee, and Mrs. Adams recognized that in him Birmingham had secured a talented and well-informed man who would be able to accomplish great things in the musical development of the city and its people.
 The splendid cooperation of all musical interests also made evident the fact that there could be a great permanent chorus in Birmingham.
 As an outgrowth of the community sing came the establishment of chorus of 75 voices last spring. In June "A Tale of old Japan" was given With this chorus at the Lyric Im- mediately after this presentation it was decided to begin work upon "The Messiah" This was, however. delayed because of the semi-centennial.
 The possibilities of a great chorus for Birmingham were not realized un- that splendid organization of 500 voices which did such magnificent work, was accomplished.
 The study of Handers great mas terpiece, "The Messiah" was then ldheh up With chorus or 15u, just double that of last spring.
 This oratorio will be presented this afternoon at o'clock at the Lyric theatre. The T. c. L chorus will join in this rendition and the community orchestra of 24 pieces will play, under the direction of Mir Erickson.
 The solo parts will be sung by Mrs. ]. A. Mitchell, soprano; Mrs. Peter J. ,,Smith, contralto MT. Cooper Lawley of Chicago. tenor. and MT. Herbert Gould of Chicago, bass. MT. Gould is one of the recognized oratorio sing CTS of the country and has just re- turned from Salt Lake City where he filled his third engagement for this winter in the part.
 MT. Lawley Is a former Birming- ham boy who has been studying for number of years in Chicago with remarkable success.
 The beautiful voices of Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. Smith have frequently been heard here, where they are much ad- mired
