GHAIRMAN BENNETT SURE OF SUCCESS (Continued from First Page) into headquarters in the store for- merly occupled by the Crowell com- pany all day today. Practically every lodge and fraternal organization in the city has™given a generous con- tribution. The drive directors have announced that contributions will be gladly received even after the cam- paign is brought to a close this even- ing. Issue Statement. The following statement was is- sued this morning by Directors Ben- nett and Gilpatric: “While definite figures are not available, we feel confident that the last report at our dinner tonight will show that we have gone over the top of our quota of $600,000. “New Britain can justly be proud of what it has done. Although the. time was not opportune, this city has again demonstrated that, glven a worthy object, it will respond with remarkable generosity. And it is re- markable, because $600,000 is prac- tically three times as much as any amount ever raised before in a drive of this kind and so we first want to thank the entire community for its liberal support. “It would be impossible to single out all the names of workers and agencies, who by their time and ener- gy have put this drive across. We are grateful to all, and thank them for what they have done. There are, however, a few who have worked conspicuously, and we mention them because they have been able and will- ing to give more of their time and energy, although the \success of the drive depends upon the combined re- sponses and work of all in every agency of the city: The press. Elks’ club. Speakers at noon-day luncheons. Teams and members who conduct- ed the canvass Treasurer F. G. Vibberts Mr. Vibberts' committee on and estimates Pulpits of all the churches. Theaters. H. V. Camp and his committee of publicity workers. H. E. Erwin and his co-workers at the luncheons. E. W. Christ, who had charge of the speakers’ and guests' tables P. F. McDonough. who has organ- ized and directed the work in sur- rounding towns. Team workers in the outside towns who joined with New Britain. W. C. Hungerford and his four- minute speakers. \ I. A. Sprague in organizing business men's team. “Again we want to emphasize that it was not the particular work of any few who made this drive a success; it was rather the community spirit, aroused and working through all the agencies and teams, and the com- munity response,, which makes the dream of a modern and adequate hos- pital equipment a reality in New Brit- ain. ¢, F.
