restrictions on ice fishing until March l, when the law protected pickerei, that fish beginning to spawn about that time Making the law uniform for all ice fishing, stopping it Jan. 20, gave those who enjoyed ice fishing a chance to have little of their sport It was also taken into consideration that one hundred persons fish in the summer to one fishing in the winter and that restricting ice fishing ten days in January and all of February would mean better fishing in the sum -mer. which would benefit the majority of fishermen. A little ice fishing is all right, but too much will clean a pond Of fish and make the summer fishing poor.
 Tt is sdif1icuit to pass any law that will be satisfactory to everybody. This is especially true of a fish or game, law. Some people look at it in sel- fish way and not in a sportsmanffke manner as a conservation measure.
 Some are complaining because pond that were closed to ice fishing are now open and are appealing to the fish and game commission to stop it. They have right to do this, and their petitions will be given a hearing Others say that the best ice fishing Is in February and complain that the present season is too short. While the law is as 1t Is, 1t is fair to the fishermen and to the fish Let wNM enough alone"

The Feast of the Nativity was flt- tingly observed at St, Mary's church on Thursday morning with four public masses as well as a private mass, which followed the first mass Large congregations were the rule at each service, particularly that at 50, which custom has put in practice to call the worshippers at this early hour, though in the larger cities the midnight mass is now an annual event. Red poin- settia and greenery formed the back ground for the newly re-decorated all tar, which is in white and numerous candles and colored lights burned aglow on the same. The Crib of Bethlehem erected at the epistle side of the altar portrays the scenes and attendants on the birth of the Saviour in the little town of Bethlehem, at tracted much attention. The high mass at 5.30 with the choir. was sung by Rev. William H. Kennedy and fol- lowing this service there was a low mass by Father Kennedy, who also offered the third mass at 7.30. The pastor, Rev. William A., Keefe offered his three masses as follows: at O. clock in the convent chapel and the ehildren's mass at 9 and the high mass at 10.3O, with the Christmas mu- sic again rendered in the church. The days sermons were on the tidings of great joy which the Saviour's birth brought to the world and reference was made to the first mass offered in the then uncompleted church 75 years ago, Christmas Day, 1S44. Benedie- tion followed the last. mass and there were many communicants at the altar for the earlier services. The Christ mas music for the day as announced in this --e-2r was carried out by Mrs. Thomas J. Healy. Following the an- nual custom the Christmas offerings went as token to the clergy and weer of good proportions

SHEPARD RECEIVERS FAVOR
 PROTECTIVE COMMITTEE

In statement issued to the cred itors of the Groton Iron works, the re- eeivers, Frederick Coniin and P. Leroy Harwood, favor the formation of a. creditors protective committee. "The receivers understand,'' says the state ment, that steps are being taken by certain creditors looking to the forrna- tion of protective committee. The receivers believe that the formation of such a committee would be of advan- tage to all concerned"
 In part, the statement is as follows:
 Under. date Of March 20. 1919, an application was made to the superior court of New London county by the United States Steamship company for a receiver to be appointed for the Groton Iron works. operating a steel shipyard at Groton, Conn, and a wood shipyard at Noank, Conn.
 P. LeRoy HarWood and E. O. Cutler
 were appointed temporary receivers, and on April 7th the court substituted
 Frederick ConIin fer E. 0. Cutler, and
 the business is now being conducted
 by these two receivers.
 At the time of the appointment of
 receivers, the Groton yard had two contracts with the Emergency Fleet corporation; one of these contracts, No. 57. was for six $500 ton cargo ships, and the second contract was for six g 400 ton ships, work on three of which had been ordered to be sus- pended by the Emergency Fleet cor poration on Feb. 17th. and on which cancellation orders have just recently come through.
 On March goth the first boat en the first contract had been launched and was practically ready for delivery. anl other was abount to be launched and four more were in various stages oi completion. On the second contract | one keel was laid and a small tonnage 1 of steel for three boats was going through the fabricatiig shop. Up te l the date of this report. the receivers 1 have launched five ships. have deliv. ] cred five, and will deliver the sixth or or before Dec. 31st. The boats whicf 1 have been delivered are giving excel. 1 lent service, and there are on file ir 1 the offices of the receivers letters from l the operating lines, as we'll as ths 1 division of the operations of tht 1 United States shipping board, compli menting the receivers on the excelien workmanship and performance O. 1 these boats.
 l On Dec. 5th an order was entered by 1 the court e'744-o-'-i-7e~ tba present re ceivers to continue the business unt, i June '. 1920, by which time it is ex- pected that the present contracts wse have been completed.
 + By Jan. 1st all the ships on the frs contract will have been delivered. ant at that time the work in process fshi, construction account) will be redueet l by the cost of these six ships. and tn, contract selling price of these ship, l will be deducted from advances mad
 bv the United States Shipping Boar, Emergency Fleet corporation.
 One of the most important item. entering into this figure is the item 0 claims against the Emergency F7ee corporation for excess wages, an, other claims authorized under the tw,
 Macy labor adjustment awards.
 I Everything possible fs being done |, push to 6 satisfactory settlement al

claims of whatsoever nature against Emergency Fleet corporation, and it appears at the present time that, we have practically arrived at definite bases for settlement of the excess wage claim which is the largest claim outstanding.
 Using an estimate of what these claims will amount to. the receivers have figured a loss on the first con- tract of six ships of approximately s1e5, ,080; the first three ships show a loss of S6S5. .000, and the last three a profit of $408, ,o00, so that it can be seen that the yard is now in such shape that can be operated efficiently and can construct ships at figure comparable with some of the. best saipyarIs on the Atlantic coast On the three ships on the second contract the receivers have estimated profit of s950,9oo Der boat, which is very conservative.
 At the time the receivers took charge, the overhead was approxi-
 nately 75 per cent. of direct labor. and for the month of October, 1919, the overhead was 49.9 per cent, showing reduction of approximately one third.
 In the near future the receivers hope to be able to dispose of the Noank plant, which is a small one, used for the construction of wooden ships. No work, aside from repair work, is being carried on at this plant at the present time, the value of which is $246, $40 The receivers understand that steps are being taken by certain creditors looking to the formation of protec- tive committee. The receivers believe that the formation of such commit tee would be of advantage to an con cerned.

diced who say that she has failed en- tirely, it would be equally false to say that she has been entirely successful in her mission--is because she has faii- ed in love. and been unable to make men see-perhaps because she has not seen it clearly enough herself that love of our fellow men, springing from the love of God, is the only hope of the world.5
 know that this gospel of love some
 times seems vague and unnneaning. It has been proclaimed for nineteen
 centuries, and still it is but the voice
 of one crying in the wilderness.
 Yet, I reiterate, it is the sole hope of the world.
 And we can only hold this hope sure a2d steadfast by listening to and be- lieving in the great Christmas mes sage which tells that God in the per son of His Son came into this world to share it's. sorrows, and understand | it's woes because of that eternal love wherewith He loved us, love which though often apparently defeated, and so widely rejected or denied vii 1 finely accomplish it's great purpose.

STATE ICE FISHING LAWS
 EXPLAINED BY ITS SPONSOR

When the law was passed at the last session of the legislature making a uniform fishing season for all lakes and ponds in the state it was done to stop much confusion over the regula- tions of the law, as nearly every body of water had a different law relating to the time for fishing. the manner of fishing and the size and number of fish that could be taken, making it difficult for fisherman to know when or where he could fish without break ing the law
