of history, which it seems, a great many Americans have not yet learned to have much respect for, excepting aa5 they spend their money abroad trying to appreciate the history of other peoples.
 The splendid bank buildings, First National; Bridgeport Savings; Bridge port Trust; Connecticut National; Lib erty Building; would all be important parts of this civic improvement It takes a number of units to make a worth while development of this char acter.
 Thus, all things that have been done, from the gift Of the grounds for and the building of the fine old City Hall, almost one hundred years ago, to the acquiring of the Plaza. and building of the fine bank buildings, are important steps in this plan. Thus, as say, nothing is wasted, as that is a very great thing to be able to say. Again, Providence.
 The United Church. the new n- brary, and possibly the future post office, would all be notable parts of this development
 +r's a. great project That is the trouble; it's probably too great for this one-horSe, haD-hazard town
 No such opportunity can be offer ed in any other part of the city, be- cause nothing has been done toward such a development Here, where Providence has been working for the eventual good of Bridgeport, the mil lions of dollars that have been ex- pended are right in line for and a part of the scheme. It all counts, aand it all would be where everybody could see and enjoy it
 ~The city should, as soon as possi- bic, acquire by condemnatory pro ceedingS, all of the property from the present City Hall, eastward % the Plaza, between State and Bank streets, and further, should obtain through the legislature, a holding act by which this property could be held and the rents collected by the city until such time as it were able to carry out the development
 Thus, the property would pay for carrying the necessary bonds to be

men Of open minds and steady vision have no regret that this is true
 'fWhat does concern everybody inn- menseIy is how that result is going to be arrived at. There are just +wo processes by which that end may be realized There is spirit raising it's head, even in our own land, the spirit of self-interest- The only way to oppose that spirit is the spirit of Jesus That is the only way to op- pose the spirit of trying to get into the position where one part can die tate terms to tl4a rest of the nation or the world Jesus way is for men to r%ard one another as brothers. Have been trying to get on in this world without recognizing that Chris tianity has brought brotherhood into the home. It is our task to widen that circle. Our civilization is on the brink of chaos today because that circle isn't wide enough Treaties and zones of influence have been de- vised to avert clashes but when one set of men does not regard another group as brothers they will disre- gard those arrangements We then get people trying to maintain thei1 rights and privileges by force.
 Dividing but Not Producing.
 fMen who think straight and act practically are turning to religion as the only solution of the situation na- tionaIly and internationally. We have gotten so busy on the matter of distributing what we have that we have lost interest in producing enough to divide, so absorbed with the di- vision of the fruits of production that production is halted.
 ''The only personality in the world that has ever influenced mankind on a large score ito produce 100 per cent without the primary regard for what he is going to get out of it him self is the Lord Jesus Christ Until that process is multiplied in millions of lives there will be no solution of the ills that confront us. In a situa- ton like this, I commend to you the Y. M. C. A, which has contact that has been tested and proven as being helpful among the most virile groups of our nation. One-third of the col lege men of America are members of the Y, a half million of the most promising boys in America are in the ' today; there are a larger number of men in the classes of the ' than in all the evangelical colleges in America

1'I would extend the Plaza between Etate and Bank streets up to Main street, giving a park and wide open space facing the new City Hall, uons.
 '-The eastern part of this park. which would include the present Plaza, would be given to improving and facilitating the down town traf- ffC; and for allowing a large place for parking of automobiles, two very great essentials for Bridgeport.
 ''This entire development is a for Svard looking proposition, which con- slders the City of Bridgeport fifty would place Bridgeport on the map redeeming 1t from probably the most ,unbeauuful city of it's size in Ameri- ca-as far as the down town district goes. to one with a very fine archi- tactural civic central development, worthy of a city of it's class
 we then could hold up our heads with Hartford, New Haven and Wat erbury.
 'I would especially stress the word forward-looking5 because that is the very first consideration in planning for tho development of a city; and It seems to have been the last one in the growth of Bridgeport, which has grown like "Topsy' grew.
 "One of the strongest arguments TOT IhlS suggested development is that 1t wastes nothing that nas been done
 This is where the text of the ser mon comes in:
 AS a. step toward this development the million dollars expended for the present Plaza was mighty well spent. As a hap-hazard thing, it was not much better than thrown away. So that, with this plan, the Plaza be comes an essential part Of a great civic development
 'SThe present dignif1ed old City Hall and the beautiful small parks in con nection with it, occupying two-thirdS of the block from Main to Broad streets, would be q. fine part of this developn ent; and these include a bit

issued in order to acquire it, and would be no burden on the city.
 Fig western cities do things in this way, why not We?
 '@The Plaza. extended to Main Street, as small part opposite the City Hall, would make tb.s entire project complete, and splendid, and beautiful, and some more that can't think of.
 +tAs a further suggestion, the west ern side of the Plaza from Johr street to Bank street, shall be strengthened with Middle street, adding a narrow present bend in Middle street at this point is bad and ugly
 ''Then Middle street, from the Plaza to Congress street, should be wid erred ten feet, and made into an other Main street for retail business. In this district the traffic should be one-way traffic on Main street, and the csher on Middle, thus Main street, from State to Congress, would be- come practically a double Main street, only 150 feet between the two parts
 J. w. NORTHROP. |. Bridgeport, Conn.,, June 19, 1921 Editor of The Bridgeport Times.
 Dear Sirs: In your paper last week terest to me regarding the way the City of Bridgeport, could use the Plaza, now a public parking place. to the best advantage. I would like to suggest that building be erected on said site to be large enough to hold all of the city and U. s. govern ment offices. I believe building of this type would not only relieve some of the idle people of this city but would also improve the entrance of the city a great deal. I would also like to see at least a small tablet of some sort in honor of Bridgeport's World War heroes There are a great many towns and cities nearby much smaller than Bridgeport that have erected honor rolls of all sorts for their dead and living heroes who fought so brave1y.

Parents Saved Considerable Expense Through Pru- dence of Pastor-Diplomas to be Given Following Mass Tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning at ,7:so o'clock the graduating class of St. Charles paroohiaI school will assist at mass at St. Charles church and receive Holy Communion in a body. Follow ing mass which will be offered up by the rector, Rev. F. J. McGivney, the graduates will receive their diplomas.
 The exercises will be devoid of outward display, it being the judg- ment of Father McGivney that in view of the lack of employment of so many it would be a hardship to ask their parents to go to the eN- pense of fitting out their children in special costumes. In addition the to the new convent fund and their pastor is actuated by a desire to make their burden as light as possi- ble.
