 "On October 29, at o'clock, the cornerstone of the new church which is being erected on the east side of New Britain will be laid. The church will be known as that of St. John the Evangelist. Under the leadership of Father Fitzgerald the people of the parish are develop- ing commendable enthusiasm. The

The section is a progressive one and con- servative people are willing to ven- ture to forecast a rapid and continued growth The new pastor has achieved notable success in conducting the fi- nances of other parishes.
