Annual Garden Fete
 For Medicine Fund
Dr.. P. J. Brennan General Chairman of Arrangements
 Committee Event Scheduled for June 27

The annual garden party for the benefit of St. Mary's hospital Spe- cial Medicine Fund will be held Tuesday, June 27, at the residence of Mrs. Frank Floto, 883 Hamilton avenue. Dr. Patrick J. Brennan is general chairman of arrangements. By means of this annual event it has been possible at the hospital, with money realized, to supply oxygen, serums, insulin, and medicines for clinic patients. Over a period of four years beginning in 1894, each year, a substantial sum has been raised in this way and each year the amount raised has increased. Prac- tically four thousand dollars was re- alized over four year period, and hundreds of patients benefited from the fund, without which these add ed serums and medicines could not be furnished.
 It is planned this year to in- crease the fund and make the gar- den party the largest ever held. A general committee will assist Dr. Brennan and will include Dr. Charles Audet, president of the hos pital staff, and Mrs. Audet, Dr. s. E. Fabricant, Dr. s. M. Atkins, Dr. and Mrs. M. J.

detective bureau and on December 21, 1921 promoted to lieutenant. He was named to his present position on April 2, 1886, succeeding the late Captain William Keegan.
 He numbers his friends in all walks of life and in all parts of the state and many miles outside of it. Police circles in Connecticut have long hailed Inspector Stevens as a sterling example of police officer, as well as one who tempers the iron head of justice with human under standing and keen desire to see the lot of his less fortunate fellow man bettered.
 In sporting circles "Joe" Stevens has long been familiar figure. In his younger days he was a good ath- lete himself and he never lost inter est in amateur sports. Boxing was his "pet" sport of recent years and seldom, if ever, was he missing when a card of bouts was scheduled for this city.
 Committees Forming
 His membership in the Knights of Columbus has been constant and faithful over a long period of years and it was with real enthusiasm that local members joined in the initial plans to pay tribute to Joe" Stevens upon the completion of 35 years of service in the Waterbury police department.
 Full committees are to be an- nounced at an early date. Present. ly work of making arrangements is in charge of Patrick J. O'Brien, gen. eral chairman, and Roger J. Walsh, secretary. Police Superintendent William J. Roach has been selected as honorary chairman of the com- mittees.
