CATHOLIC COMMITTEES FOR WAR WORK

In connection with the united war work campaign which is to be launch ed on Nov. 11th, the national Catholic war council has effected a working organization in the diocese of Con necticut which reaches. out to every nook and corner in the state. A state or diocesan executive committee has been formed consisting of Right Rev. John J. Milan, bishop of the diocese, as honorary chairman, the other mem bers being Rev. W. A. Keefe of Plain field, Judge Edward L. Smith of Hart ford, Edward A. Sheehah and William J. Cronin of New Haven. This has been supplemented by an advisory committee of seven, each of whom shall act as chairman of the following diocesan committees: Organization, publicity, speakers, Victory boys, Vic tory girls, agricultural and industries. The organization has been still further extended to include a committee in every one of the 196 parishes in the diocese, the parish having been made the unit of organization for campaign work.
 MobiIizing the Man Power.
 These various Catholic committees in diocesan, county and parish units ard intended to correlate with the general plans of the united war work campaign organization. The general aim of the national Catholic war coun- cil being, through it's various com mittees, to deliver man power" for the united drive, to the end that the full strength of the Catholic popula- tion, insofar as it is possible to or ganize and instruct it, Shall be mobil- ized for this united patriotic purpose. It is understood 41at there is no specific cash quota to be collected by any one agency, all of the seven war relief organizations being expected to work together for a common purpose and share on a percentage basis in the sum total raised. Neither will there be any lines to mark the infusion of man power obtained from any particular source, and in that respect the forces of the united war work campaign will resemble the allied armies in France fighting for @ common cause. under a single leader, but each contributing tC the full extent of it's spirit and strength.
