G. Warren Davis stated that as thal committee was not a permanent one and | that . the matter could not be settled | Tuesday it would be advisable to make the committee permanent with power to fill vaclncies: and this’ was voted.

The Bighth street crossing is not tho worst in the state and will not be the first to be done away with, but also it will not be the ast.

TO CHEISTMAS APPFAL Churches all over the state are making prompt response to the: Christmas ap- veal of ex-Governor Marcas H. Holcomb, honorary state ¢hairman of the Near East relief, in behalf of the 115,090 ~orphan boys and girls under American protec- tion in the Bible lands. Scarcily had the last of the thousands of letters embody- ing - Governor Holcomb’s appeal been mailed from state headquarters at Hart- ford, when the contributions began to pour in. Most of the contributions are small, however, and the total of all re- ceived is not large. Special collections are to be taken ror the cause in many churches and Sunday schools tirougnout Connecticut. In ad- dition to these, Christmas pageants are to be given in many places, and in these the tragic story of the destitute children, madé homeless by the upheaval in Asia Minor, who can remain safe from . peril oniy as continued support is afforded trom America, is to be told by charac- i and their fellow sufferers.
