Fairfield Picnic Draws 160 For Sunday School Outing

A convoy of two trolley cars carried about 160 people from the Congregational church Sunday school on a Beardsley Park picnic. Rev Dr Child and several others attended while others remained scattered about. At the park, a Casino dinner featured a large selection of dishes and the day ended with everyone returning happy. The Frish Air Fund concert at Mrs Harry S Glover’s drew strong praise and a near capacity crowd of about 200, with receipts around 4. Highway work next week will bring a traction engine to town to haul crushed stone, and a damaged road section prompted repairs using railroad ties. An auto mishap near Little Danbury left Mr Lester Ferris stranded for five hours, with Selectman Fox directing repairs.
