NEXT COAST GUARD
 GLASS GRADUATES SOON
In August or September is inc Proba-
 ble Time This Year.

In former years the U. S. Coast Guard academy at Fort Trumbull at New London has graduated class of cadets from the school during the month of June. but due to the fact that the class that would have grad uated this year was rushed through the course last September the re- maining cadets in the class that or dlnarily would not complete their course of training until next June, will be graduated in August or Sep tembeF.
 Each class must make two summer cruises on the Coast Guard craft and in order to fulfil the required train ing in ship drills and navigation the cadets will make several trips dur ing the coming months instead of one long cruise.
 About ten officers will be graduated this year after which they will be as signed to the various cutters or re- main at the academy and drill the recruits as was the ease last fall.

 Beat Out All New England,

Although returns are still far from complete there is every indication that on Friday more than S50, ,000 adultG of Connecticut pledged themselves to buy war savings stamps at regular inter vals in substantial amounts for the balance of the year, according to an nouneement made at the office of the Connecticut War Savings Committee ct the capitol, State Director How ell Cheney was confident that when the returns were received complete that the results would show a greater per capita number of pledges than any other state in New England.
 The first city to send in a partly complete report was New London, which was reported by Henry c. Chap pell, W. s. S. chairman, to have secur- ed more than 1000 pledges insuring sufficient amount so that New Lon don, will have raised it's $20 per capita when January arrives

PRAYER, LABOR, THRIFT,
 THE DUTY OF CHRISTIANS
Gospel For Sunday Suggests Timely, Patriotic Theme to Rev. Myles P, Calvin.


 Preaching at the high mass in St
 Patrick's church yesterday from the gospel for the Sunday, the sixth after
 Pentecost, which narrated the mira
 cle of the multiplication of the loaVes and fishes, as told in St. Mark, viii, 1-9, Rev. Myles P. Calvin stated that this miraculous incident typifies in a way Gods goodness to men, in His annual multiplication of the fruits of the earth.
 Man has his share in this abund- ande only through the beneficenee of God for, as Saint Augustine declares,
 all men. rich and poor, are as beggars at the door of God. Frequently, when
 absorbed in the things of. this world,
 Gods creatures forget to thank Him for His ipnumerable benefits, forget that, as Saint James tells us, every good and perfect gift is from above. Man should merit his share in this | abundanc2 which the Almighty can
 give to or deprive him of at will, first i by prayer; by an humble acltnowl- edgment of dependence upon Gods bounty.
 Again, to obtain his share in what | God gives requires cooperation on the part of man, that is, labor. Each has
 his tasks allotted by God and the 1 Scripture reminds us that whose will not work has no right to eat. Incidental to labor is the duty to | live frugally; to avoid extrava gance, | living in luxury which ones means will not allow. At present in this eoun- 1 try men are earning wages never
 dreamed of before. In spite of the war 1 this country is wonderfully propserous. But with wars end-for which all so 1 fervently hope-nust come the reac- | ton. Consequently, now is the time 1 to exercise economy, to save for that 1 time, least there be want and misery. ! The government has recognized this i surety of a certain reaction, and has 1 wisely provided against possible need l by deyising for the people one par ticular way of saving which not only l will help the country win the war and will provide for the boys at 1 the front, but which is a gilt-edge form of investment, the safe-keeping | of funds in the safest bank in the l world, the United States treasury. The. preacher advised his hearers
 to economize against that possible
 time of need by buying now Thrift | Stamps and War Savings Certificates | laying stress upon the fact that thrift ! is as much the duty of the Catholic patriotic citizen as the two other obli- 1 cations necessary to merit share ot 1 the fruits of Gods earth, prayer and 1 labor

Band Engaged for Parade.

The plans for the community parade here on Fourth of July are shaping up in good style. A band has been engaged and it is hoped that the Polish band will also join in the cele- bration. The committee wishes all owners of automobiles to join the pa rade, even if they have had no special invitation. The general committee for the Norwich parade has asked the Greeneville people to join with them, but this is an individual matter, some thing over which the community com mittee has no control.
