Improved for Rev. McKim

The ladies of Christ Episcopal
Church in Milford have under-wldtten
the rebuilding program for the rec
tory. The old building at the corner
of Second and Church SITS, formerly
owned by Rev. John L. McKim, which
had fallen into bad condition as
home and entirely unsuited as the
rectOry for the pastor of Christ
Church, will be remodeled and rebuilt
by the effort Of the ladies of that con-
gregation, assisted by friends within
and without the church. The ladies'
have received several contributions
and they are also organizing commit
tees to gather in money from various
sources. Miss Anna Beswick has
made a very generous donation as a
starter, which has heartened the ladies
in their work. Another committee is
engaged in the packing of spoons al
their homes in the evenings making
| little parties which earn several dol
lars each evening. 1t is intended t
have the rectory completed and Occu
