CHURCH STAGES
 S27,5OO DRIVE
West Side Hill Methodist Committees to Be Named
 at Rally Tomorrow

Committees will be appointed to- morrow evening at 8 o'clock to in- augurate Q city-wide campaign for funds to complete the dreams of the late Rev. Ridgeway F. shinn, pastor of the West Side Hill Meth odist Church, who was taken by death before completion of the church sanctuary.
 Parishioners will attend the Fri day rally to map out a program to raise the $27,500 needed for the project. The session will be held in the parish hall on Myrtle avenue. The coming campaign has already received the approval of the Wa terbury Council of Churches.
 Rev. John T. D. Franzen, recent ly appointed successor to Rev. MT. Shinn by the New York East Con- ference of which Bishop Francis J. OConnell is head, will preside to- morrow.
 The unfinished church, as 1t stands, is free of all debts and at- tachments, All that remains to be done is the finishing of the sanctu- ary and installation of the neces- sary heating and operating facil- ities. It is estimated that about $28, 900 is needed to cover the n1in- mum expenditures.
 The church was used for the first time in May when 1t was opened for a memorial service to the late pastor. On that occasion, the senti- ment expressed by the several n1in- isters offlciating was that no more fitting memorial to Mir. Shinn could be devised than to complete as speedily as possible the church to the inception of which he devoted SO much untiring effort.

 Mill Plain was rocekd by a terrific explosion that de- stroyed a house at 13 Gates avenue. Flames from the burning building threatened homes nearby, but the con- fiagration was subdued by flremen after an estimated damage of $10,o00 to the building. One man, about to enter the Gates avenue resi- dence at the time of the ex- p.osion suffered severe burns, and was removed to a hos- pital. Investigation by au- thorities failed to disclose the cause of the disaster, and a search among the ruins for a suspected still was fruit less.
