Demand That Congregational
Meeting Be Held Once
A Month

AS an outcome of the congrega
tional meeting held in the parish
house of st Marks Episcopal
church, early in the week was a de
cision because of the thoroughly en-
joyable evening spent by the gath
ering, to make them monthly
feature.
Charles Johnson, chairman of the
Vestry's Entertainment commit
tee, who was master of ceremonies,
was unanimously elected to take
charge as chairman, of providing
the entertainment programs for the
future events, to be assisted by Will
son Cunningham, vestry secretary
Those who contributed to the eve
ning's enjoyment were: Mrs. Ed
ward Wilson. soprano, with several
selections; Mrs. Lewis Bell with
character rotations; John Patter
son, bass solos; Master Bryant and
Emerson Johnson, recitations and
singing. recitations by Miss Nellie
Hambleton.
Mrs. Charles Johnson, at the pi-
ano, played the accompaniment to
the singing by the gathering OF pop
ular songs. Luncheon of ice cream
and cake were served, the cake
being provided by st. Margaret's
guild.
The social flair of the gathering
so impressed Rector Daniel q. Mac
Kinnon that he suggested the repe-
tition of the gatherings monthly to
which members may bring their
friends.
Doctor MacKinnon stated that
similar gatherings had proven pop
ular in Philadelphia parish of
which he was pastor and that they
were given by an organization
named the Unity Club, composed
of both men and women.

Everybody Wants Peace And
Production.
Peace in local building oper-
ations is a thing greatly desired
not only by the union men, and
their families, but also by contrac-
tors and the public at large.
In general the postwar building
: boom has run its course. If a new
level of normal building has
arrived, it remains to be seen
whether the initiation of the indus
try on the labor side can be main
tanned. This applies both as to
numbers employed and the wage
scale.
The thinking men of the trades
fully realize that it is desirable to
maintain wage levels, but in times
of REIMBURSEMENT this can only be
done by saving at the other end
the production output per worker.
Evidence is accommodating that
this has been the means of wage
Sterilization in many industries,
and there have been indications
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1927-10-07

that the building industry is nc
exception.
1t has become apparent in local
building circles that the value OF
the completed product determines
the amount of costs that may be
expended during the construction
of new home or structure that
will meet the requirements. The
question is, what will completed
building sell for?"
1t is apparent that for current
demands there are enough homes
so that any premium on costs or
great inducements to increase
costs are out of the question.
In fact, it has developed that
because of the present basis of
building costs, contractor may
send to another state and obtain
high class completed work in sec
tons suitable for home or a
business structure at a cost lower
than is sometimes obtained in the
local building market.
1t follows that men in the local
building trades who desire to hold
to union wage scales have to take
into account not only an over
supply of men and a decline in
building activity, but they also
have to compete against men from
unions in other cities, whose wage
scales are lower, and against
other manufacturing establishments
which are shipping completed work
into this field.
Outside producers seem to have
met and acted upon changing con-
ditions.

CONNECTICUT FIRST
TO ELECT GOVERNOR
Cherishes Distinction Not Shared
by Any Others of 13
Original States.
pr the Associated Pres.

By the Associated Press.
HARTFORD, March 25.-People of
this State cherish distinction not
shared with any other of the original
13 States.
Connecticut was the only Colony
ruled by an elected instead of a
royalty appointed governor at the out
break of the American Revolution.
The first written constitution
known to history that created a
government was the Fundamental
orders" adopted by the Connecticut
colonists in 1889. 1t contained no
reference to King or Parliament, nor
any pledge of loyalty to a sovereign
power.
The colonists assumed the right to
govern themselves and invested ulti-
mate power in 'all that are admitted
freemen and have taken the oath of
fidelity and do cohabite within this
jurisdiction"
Thanks to this assumption and the
very liberal royal charter secured by
Gov. John Winthrop in 1862 Connecti-
