DANIELSON

was the cheering announcement made to the congregation at the masses at St. l James church Sunday morning. The expression used really meant that the church was not only free of all financial encumberances, but also that the entire debt of the parish has been wiped out a fact that was well understood by many 1 hundreds of parishioners who were de- lighted with the splendid accomplish 1 ment, which has been achieved under l the direction of Rev. M. J. Ginet, NJ S., l the pastor, and his able assistants through cooperation of the people of the parish.
 There was double measure of joy and enthusiasm over the accompanying an- nouncement that in addition to cancel ling the debt, the last portion of which was paid during the past week, the par sh has a surplus of cash and Liberty bonds amounting to $S,000. This will form the nucleus of a fund for building the parish hall, which will be one of the finest structures in the town of Kill ingly. When work on this building will be undertaken is not announced.
 It was also announced at all of the masses that the parish has received a gift of a strip of land, 21o by 5S feet, from the Connecticut Mills company at Connecticut Village, where St. James parish has owned some lots since that section of Danielson began to boom more than decade ago. While Sundays announcements contained no reference to what use will be made of the land hold ings Of the parish at Connecticut Vil- lage it is known that the erection of another church there has been under consideration for some time past and the | rapid development of that section of Danielson will likely bring this about in the not distant future.
 Able leadership of the parish and lib- eral cooperation of hundreds of parish | toners who have shared in the unprece- dented prosperity of Danielson during the past five years has made possible the the clearing up of debt that one time a few years ago was in excess of ESQ., ] 900. St. James parish is proud of being one of the few in the state entirely free 1 of debt and proud of the splendid struc- lures tAat make up the parish property.
 The church, erected just twenty years i ago is practically a new building and l the rectory and s tJoseph's convent are i still newer structures. Including St. | James school, it is estimated that the parish buildings could not be replaced l for less than $15o,000, and the cost might run to $20O,000. This wit hoth- l CT holdings represents the open-hearted 1 giving of a struggling parish organized | just over 50 years ago, but now one of the most f1ourishing in Eastern Connec- ticut and growing steadily in member ship year by year.
