 ton of $50
NEED S3,OOO MORE

Waterbury's free school milk fund was on the brink of the $7,000 mark early this afternoon as the result of several donations over- night received at the health de- partment's office. To-day's receipts were the greatest so far since the announcement was made that the distribution of milk would have to cease this week due to lack of suf- hcient financial support.
 The biggest donation to-day was from Mrs Hugh Thompson. Her check was for $50. The smallest was from one of the funds most consistent financial packers, Ste- phen Gyuricsko. He sent in his usual weekly 50 cent donation.
 Others recorded to-day as send ing in donations were: Emily F.. Kellogg, s25; Mrs Lucy Young Smith, S1o; Martin scuily, $5; P. w. Reilly, $2; and Mrs J. H. Big ham. $2.
 pr Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer, who Is chairman Of the committee in charge of the dis tribution of free milk, refused to comment on the outlook for con- tinued activities to-day. He said that the milk fund has been con- siderably strengthened because of this added interest on the part of Waterburians and others.
 The drive for free milk funds Ia for $10,000 so as to carry on the distribution during the / entire i931-1932 term. With to-day's do. nations recorded, the total re- ceived to date Is S6,977.09. Only a little less than $3 Is now needed for the fund to pass the $7,000 mark and many contributions are
 expected during the remainder of the week to push the fund well to- wards the $8,000 mark.
