Estimated That Thousands of French Canadians Unable
 to Show Certificates
if Deported Can Never Again Enter
 United States

The estimate of 23,000 French Ca uadisn citizens in the state, who will he yitallv affected by the modified im- ss;gration laws. which go into effect Iulv Ist. a good number of whom will be subiect to deportation without any ebance of return unless they take cer- tain strictly prescribed steps before inc revised laws go into force, Is con- sidered altogether too high by A. A.. Brodeur. of this city, president of the Franco American Republican Clubs of ronnecticut. Mir. Brodeur pointed out that the last enumeration of French Canadians in Connecticut totalled only annroximately 50,000 and he can not believe that almost half of that num- her are in the United States subject to deportation.
 Since publicity has been given the matter there have been one or two in- ouiries here relative to just what the law and it's effect is. At least two citizens of Putnam have applied to the town clerk regarding the situation and one or two inquiries have been made of Mir. Brodeur. who says that he is not familiar with the details of the sit nation but has been promised litera- ture which will explain conditions now existing. He does not feel that there are many French Canadians in Put nam who will be affected by the new law.
 How Subject to Deportation
 It is said that there are several classes of French Canadian aliens in the United States subject to deporta. ton. First there are those who en- tered as visitors, paying small fee to De returned to them when they went back, and who, after arriving. have found employment and decided to re. main. Then there are those who through laxity of officials, either did not receive proper certificates or arc unable to locate them. Another class never intended to go back but came ir on visitors certificate because they thus saved approximately $10. 1t i. apparent that none of these classe. will be able to establish legal residene, within this country. Unless they vol untarily return and make legal re-en try they may be deported and can nev q return.
 The whole situation arises through bill modifying the naturalization laws signed by President Coolidge, t, become effective July 1st. The cru, oi the situation, as il relates to the ne

MEMORIAL TOMB
 UNVEILED SUNDAY
Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue Spent All of His Boyhood
 In Pomfret
Became Leading Figure in A-seriean
 Church Architecture

Several Pomfret people were among those who attended the services held last Sunday afternoon at the Chapel of the Intercession, New York City. when the memorial tomb to the late Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue was un- yelled. Mir. Goodhue spent all of his boyhood in Pomfret and went out from that town to become the leading figure in American church architecture. The following account of the unvelling ser vices is taken from the New York Her aid Tribune:
 Several hundred friends and associ- ates of Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, the architect, who died in 1924. were present yesterday afternoon at the un- yelling and dedication of the tomb which contains his ashes in the Episco- pal Chapel of the Intercession, Broad way and 155th Street. The Rev. Dr. Milo H. Gates, vicar of the chapel, off ciated at the services and brief ad- dresses were made by Milton B. Me dary, of Philadelphia, past president of the American Institute of Archi- tects, and Royal Cortisgoz, art critic of the New York Herald Tribune.
 MT. Medary said that he was pres ent to acknowledge the debt of all ar chitects to Goodhue.
 Tt was because of the spirit which lay back of all he did, not his form of expression, that he is famous" Mir Medary said. Through his works hs will be immortal. He has challenged the entire profession of architecture everywhere to put the germ of life int all it's works. He gave us sense oi beauty in everything he did"
 I Mir. Cortissoz's Remarks
 In his address Ms. Cortissoz said:
 "The first thing that think of to day is the appropriateness of Bertran Goodhue's last resting place. And don't mean by that the fitness of hi, lying in a church he. builder ol churches, including this one. an thinking rather of the fact that if h, had never in his life built a church hi ashes would still belong in plac, where the things of the spirit prevail Those are the things that counted most in the development of his char aeter
 "The architect of genias draws hi knowledge from many sources. H owes much to travel amongst the mon uments of the past He owes some thing to the literature of his subject He is, in word, man of study. Blu above all things he is made by hi imagination. If he is true artist h deals first and last with the imponder ables. His studies but sustain tn . fabrics of his imagining. He is mef' than all else a a-spiritual force.
