His acceptance of the invitation, issued to him by the valley club some weeks ago, was received by Dr. M. J. Lawlor, president, yesterday, and was the occasion for much fav-' orable comment among the alumni of Holy Cross in this vicinity, Bishop Dinand during his rectorship was held in the highest esteem by students, faculty, and alumni. His elevation to the bishopric at Ja- maica was highly commended.
 His later illness and subsequent retirement from an active clerical life for several years came as a shock to thousands of alumni who have watched him battle his way back to health with continued in- terest. His appearance in Water bury next week will be one of a very few such occasions for him as his health does not yet allow him to engage in Q full schedule of activi- ties. At the present time he is stationed at the Jesuit House of Studies in Weston, Mass.
 Bishop Dinand, who last appeared here in Waterbury in 1925 and who has never officially been in this state since his elevation to the bis- hopric, will be accompanied to Wa terbury by the Rev. Francis Dolan,

Quick work on the part of the trained crews who fought for over an hour before the fire was put un- der control and spectators attracted to the scene were impressed by the efficient method employed by en- rollee in protecting the forest.

SPECIAL MEDICAL
 FUNDESTABLTSHED
Local Junior League SO- Ciety Donates $I,5OO to
 Waterbury Hospital

A donation of $1 800 to the Water bury hospital by the Waterbury Junior League was announced yes terday, the money to be used for the purchase of insulin for the treat ment of diabetics, special glandular extracts, liver extracts for anemias and for providing allergy tests and medications for special services.
 In connection with the donation the following explanatory announce ment was released:
 "The fund is to be used in the treating of patients who cannot af- ford to purchase the necessary medications themselves and who without the constant treatment be- come more sickly and are great CT burden on the community. Pro- viding these expensive medicines will help to send these persons on the road to recovery and effect cures which would not otherwise have been possible. The treatment of patients and administering of these drugs is taken care of by the Chase Memorial dispensary, the out-pa- tient department of the Waterbury hospital. There has long been a need for a fund of this kind, which has never been provided for. Of course, the income on $500 is just starter and would perhaps only take care of one patient, but it is the hope that some amount of interest will be aroused and that contribution will be made from time to time by or ganizations and individual to swell the fund so that eventually it will take care of all patients needing this kind of treatment"
