COLORED DRAWINGS OF
 NEW UNITED CHURCH TO BE EXHIBITED TOMORROW

CoIored drawings of the new church and parish house to be erected by the United church on the lot at Broad and Bank streets, opposite the City Hall, will be exhibited to the congregation and friends at the morning service Sunday Cass Gilbert of New York, who built the Woolworth Building and many other notable structures has been procured by the church as arch itect. The building will be colonial in style and include all the modern features of the present day institu- tiona1 church in the aim of the peo- pie of the United church to serve the community in every way possible
 The United Congregati church, in accordance with it's purpose to eX- tend it's work to meet to the utter most the needs of the community in which it is located, has just taken a very important step. At a recent meeting of the standing committee of the church, a committe on religious education was appointed. Lucien T. Warner is chairman and H. w. Hincks, Miss Emma Eames, Henry D. Simonds, W. c. Hawley, the re- maining members. The duties of this committee will be to make a survey of the field to ascertain the needs of church parish. They will stand in the same relation to the religious ed- ucationaI work of the church as the school board does to the educational work of our public schools. The com mittee will meet in the near future with the Director of Religious Edu- cation, c. B. Loon1is, who has just been procured by the church to de- velop this work, to plan compre- hensive program of religious educa- ton which will include, not only the work of the Sunday school, but will coordinate all the activities of the church into a unified system of educa- tion. The work to be undertaken by this committee is new to Bridgeport and will be watched with great inter est by the churches of the city.

STOCK INLAND WATERS
 WITH 100000 FINGERLINGS

The inland waters of Connecticut will be pretty well stocked with sma1l-mouthed black bass, if all the baby fingerlings which the fish and game commission is distributing g through the state reach maturity. Su- -perintendent John M. Crompton has been distributing 100000 of this fry for propagation in the inland waters to about 200 applicants. The com mission advises against any large num- Der of varieties in one body of water and cautions propagators against try ing to cultivate arse-sca1ed fish, such as bass, in the same waters with trout, or salmon. Nor should trout or 1and-Iocked salmon be placed in waters with predacious fishes such as bass or pickerel. Everything taken into consideration, it is the desire to apportion the fish as evenly as pos sib1e throughout the state. Aside from the fish fry distributed at the fish hatchery at Windsor, the commission has Supplied 13S applicants with pheasants' eggs and wild mallard ducks eggs for propagation have been supplied about the same number from wild nallard ducks. No less than eight inches in length can be taken from places stocked with these fish by the state, nor will the com mission furnish fry for stocking any stream, river, lake or pond from which the taking of fish is prohibit ed by the owner or lessee.

Looking Ahead

It is the logical destiny of Bridge port to be distinguished for having more skilled workers, and more highly skilled workers, than any city in America.
 Thousands of highly paid specialists, whose intelligence, whose mastery of their craft, whose pride in accomplishment, will bring the factories to a plane of effective ness that now seems dream, will be the glory of the city.
 Youths with trained minds and trained muscles before long we shall have really intelligent schoo1s-wil enter the factories as other youths enter the universities.
 The degree of master workman given by Bridgeport will carry as great honor as a degree conferred by university, and have far greater commercial value in the university of work and life.
 New concepts of intelligence, ear- nestness, justice and fair play will de- veIop new standards that mean greater earnings for the workers and for the manufacturers, and the peace that makes permanent prosperity.
 It isn't going to come about of itself any more than homes are going to spring up of themselves. But we can have the new order, we can make it begin RIGHT NOW if we get together and WORK for it.
 We must have community spirit.
 We must have homes, the kind of homes from which we can go cheerfully to our work and to which we are eager to return with the story of the days achievements; homes we make richer year by year, in which our pride and happiness are always growing.
 In this city of ours, which we are now building for and in which we all are going to be partners, we are going to have the best schools for the children and the grown-ups.

We will have backgrounds all over the city with experts who will teach the chil- dren how to play, how to become good men, good women, good citizens. Those of us who have playgrounds of our own will prefer to send our children there.
 We shall have experts to show us all the things we should know and how to get what we want-the best foods, the best parks, the best amusements- to get the MOST OUT OF LIVING at the least cost.
 When we realize that everyth we want is possible for us, if we get to- gether and work for it, we shall have the fairest, richest city in the land.
 We shall be richest in the things that make for human happiness for ourselves and for our children and they will endure be- cause we have earned them with honest labor.
 We cannot win our bit of Paradise here in Bridgeport without a struggle. Those who thrive only on the trouble they make for others will do their best to block the way.
 They don't look much like sirens, but they sing siren songs that will lure US onto the rocks of disaster if we listen long enough.
 We are thinking for ourselves now We are looking ahead as far as we can see We are going to make our vision reality. We want all the things that money can buy and those which cannot be bought with money. So today, tomorrow, next year, all the years that this is our city, let us earnestly, intelligently, whole-heart- edly
