 Rev. William A. Keefe. the newly
 appointed rector of St. Marys church, addressed the large congregations at
 morning. He said that while he was
 pleased to receive the appointment it did not seem IS such to him but more
 like coming back home, for here in the sa me parish the three happiest years of his priesthood days as a curate were spent under Father Smith. He hoped that the spirit of faith and hearty CO.,
 operation for which the parish was noted for it's labors under Father Smith and Father Fitzmaurice would continue to prevail and that the parishiorers would find Father Ken nedy. his curate. and himself ever ready to a id them in their spiritual en- deavors and that by both working to- gether the parish would prove itself second to none in the diocese.
 He further announced that later in the month Q reception is to be given the young men of the parish who saw service in the late war and at this same gathering their non Catholic soldier and sailor friends would be in vited. It is to be an informal affair in the nature of a big family gathering. On Sunday afternoon at o'clock Fa- ther keefe met the members of the Young Ladies Sodality at their monthly meeting and parish activities were discussed for which this society has had a foremost hand.
 After being closed from Second street to Golden street, traffic on North Main street was resumed on Saturday. and it is with great plea sure that those travelling through the village aban- dcned the ruts and holes of Central avenue for the new cement pavement. The new pavement is a decided i'm provement over the old mire and it is if the attention of the city was direct ed now to the repairing of Central avenue and upper North Main street 1t would be a benefit.

POMFRET LEADS IN PER
 CAPITA STAMP SALES

Sales of thrift and war savings stamps in Connecticut during the month Of July amounted to s63.264.30. The Connecticut war savings commit tee has given out figures for 14S com munities throughout the state both for the month of July and for the ' months ended August 1. The state ment said that the sales were satis- factory, considering that the schoofs were closed and that industrial unrest had in some instances interrupted the work among factories.
 For July, the Is leading towns on a per capita basis were Pomfret. Coluna-
 bia- Madison, Windham. Old Lyme. Lyme, Winsted. Washington, East
 Hampton, sharon, Thompson, Staf- ford. Ansonia. Torrington, and Can terbury in the order named. These towns were surpassed. of course. by the larger communities in actual sales.
 Up to July I. Hartford had led the state but fell to third place that
 month. the sales being only S6.925-03 New Haven was first in July with to- tai sales of s7337.33 and Bridgeport was second with sales of s7 7,000.S4 Waterbury's sales for the month was $1.321.96.

 Miss Irene O'Brien. acting state di- rector, stated that the committee felt it was gradually making some head way against the prevailing extrava- gance by inducing the people to con tinue the habits of thrift learned dur ing the war. Not only sales of Thrift and War Savings but bank deposits and other investments showed a sub stantial increase in Connecticut. she said. Nevertheless, it was the com mittee's aim to bring it's campaign home to thousands of other people who were still spending recklessly ev- cry cent they earned, and by induc- ing them to buy only what they can afford, both in 1uxuries and necesSi- ties to assist in bringing down the high cost of living.
 Miss O'Brien said that the com mittee had received pledges of CO., operation from most of the women's organiza tions in the state and through them would endeayor to make popular a system of home budget making, whereby each family would be urged to set aside a certain portion of it's income for savings and divide the rest up for sensible spending.

RIVERSIDE SHEPARD IS
 SOON TO LAUNCH TUG

Within the coming ten days, proba- bIy the Thames Tow Boat Go. is to launch from the Riverside snfpyard on the Thames near Connecticut col 1ege, a big new tugboat. the Bess, which is, the first tug the yard has built since 1904. With a length of 110 feet over all. a width. or beam of 2e feet and a depth of IA feet from keel plate to deck, the Bess will be the staunchest tug boat out of New London, for she is of the solidest of solid Connecticut oak.
 At present. the tug is complete in hull, deck and rudder, and nearly so in superstructure and finish. After the last finishing touches are added and the hull painted, the launching will take place. with proper ceremon- ies, and Mrs. Lawrence Chappeu, wife of the vice president and superin- tendent of the Thames 4TowzBoat Co,

and after whose first name the tug boat will be christened. will be spon- Sor.
 The hull of the boat will contain the 400 horsepower engine amidships with coal bunkers to contain 75 tons of coal, aud forward and aft there will be water tanks to contain 10000 gal Ions of fresh water for the engine. An other large L N will also be installed for the drinking water.
 On the deck will be the deckhouse, which will contain forward. engineers quarters and offices, amidships, more rooms for officers and aft a cooks gal ley and ice chest. The crews quar- ters will be forward under the deck and above the water tanks.
 The material in the Bess. that is, the wooden part. is literally thicker than a mans head 14 inches from the interior of the hull to the water outside when the boat is in the wa ter. Bolted and tap-plugged every three or four inches. the two heavy hulls, one within the other, seem able how great, and makes the tug seem unsuitable. It would have to be a ter rife smash that would even loosen bolt, in the opinion of one of the off cialS of the company.
 The Bess will make a valuable ad dition to the coastal barge work now heinz done by the Thames Towboat Co The boat. will cost above the $100,000 figures when completed, 1t was said. and will be so well con structed that it can take anything for a tow withou loosening a plank.
 The propellor a solid mass of steel. has a pitch of eight feet. or a capacity of taking the boat forward eight feet with one whirl of the propellor under test conditions. The blades measure eight feet. ten inches from tip of one fange to tip of the opposite fange. This will be put on after the boat is 76d 0rT1 hal rsllG enough from the water by a derrick to enable this to be done.
