Brennan. On September 13. 1911, he was sent here by the bishop of the diocese and has labored long and faithfully since his corning.
 Much progress has been made since Father Brennan took over his pastoral duties here. When he came the church, which was of wooden frame construction, was situated at the upper end of Main street east of the American Paper Goods fac- tcry.
 Less than two years after his ap- pointment as it's pastor the parish suffered a terrible loss when on March 4, 1913, flames completely destroyed the old edifice Undaunt- ed by this reverse Father Brennan set about the task of rebuilding and the results of his forethousht and plans were seen in the erection of a modern church and rectory on one O. the towns most desirable sites.
 This edifice is a tribute to the effort and energy of the pastor whose labor and perseverance have won him many friends among his parishioners and gained him a null titude of friends from outside the fold of the church.
 During his stay here all his energy has not been confined to his pastoral duties as he has taken a keen interest in civic affairs and is ever ready to champion any measure or suggestion that has to do with the betterment of conditions in the little community.

PRIOR IS VICTOR
 OVER CUNNINGHAM Full Ticket Is Nominated By Jeffersonian Party A. F. RYDER IS DEFEATED

Chairman N1illerick Predicts That
 Party Will Give Republican stn
 Taght-ChuYch Services Tomorrow
 Morning-Other Interesting Items.
 The nomination of full ticket for the first time in many years, the vic tory of Edward P. Prior over Will liam Cunningham for the first select manship office and the defeat of Ar thur F. Ryder, long time school board member, by William Gnazzo featured 8 spirited and enthusiastic caucus held by the democrats at the town hall last evening. It was one of the largest and most successful eau cuses held by the Jeffersonian fol- lowers in nearly a decade and mark ed a departure from the usual Cus- tom of endorsing many republican candidates. The electors backed up the town committee in it's attempt to place full ticket in the field and perfect harmony reigned throughout the caucus.
 Edward P, Prior. third selectman. and democratic choice for first se- lectman for many years, was sue cessful in his campaign for renomi- nation and defeated William Gun nlngham by close margin of three votes. The total vote cast was 53 with MT. Prior securing 2S and Mir Cunningham 25. Mir. Prior therefore will head the democratic ticket as candidate for first selectman in the coming town election. Showing that the party is determined to stick to- gether and fight this year without any discord, the voters promptly nominated the defeated candidate, MT. Cunningham, for the position of second selectman. He accepted the nomination.
 Ryder Is Defeated
 The upset of the caucus came near the end when Arthur r. Ryder. a member of the town school commit tee for over six years. was defeated | for renomination by the youthful William Gnazzo. the vote being 33 to B in favor of the new candidate. John Salamon was aloo nominated for the position but refused to &C., cept it.
 Mir. Gnazzo entered politics for the first time last year and was success full in his campaign for the office of grand juror. He is a prominent worker in the Italian American so- ciety in which he holds office and is an ardent worker in the democratic party. He is popular especially among the Italian residents and is said to have a large following.
 There has been considerable talk about town of late concerning school conditions and some regard Mir | Gnazzo's victory as the firing of the first gun to bring around a change. Various phases of the present school i system were severely criticized at the public hearing of the finance board held Thursday evening. Elliott for Tax Collector
 William J. Hemingway, tax collec- tor for many years and who has been repeatedly endorsed by the democrats, will have opposition in the coming town election as the re- suit of the nomination of Charles J. Elliott for the position. MT. Elliott has had experience in tax work. hav- ing been personal tax collector of New Britain for many years before coming to Plainville. Frank J.

Practically anybody can tell you that this is ar age
OF miracles. Unfortunately, however, the miracles
sometimes seem to get a little bit perverted.
The other evening, for example, a radio chain threw
a program through the air TO cities all over the
country. Eager listeners tuned in, becoming partici-
pants in the most amazing Of modern miracles-and
were rewarded by hearing some quite invisible hoofer
perform a t~ap-dance, far off in the confines Of a
New Yorx studio.
Now tap-dancing. OF course, is very fine in its way;
but there is something rather incongruous about the
thought Of thousands Of radio listeners, scattered
from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, sitting in
their arm chairs, drawing upon one Of the greatest
inventions Of the age. and listening to the meaning
Jess click-clack OF a pair OF shoes rapping on a wood
en- floor.
1t suggests, in fact. that cur marvellous inventions
are doing us no good for the simple reason that we
don't know how to use them.
To have the faith that could move mountains
would be magnificent; but it would be something less
than magnificent II the possessor used this great
sorce. let Us say. merely to raise bunkers for a NINA
fure golf course.
In the same way, the invention of the radio hardly
seems worth while if its net result is to enable the
frantic thumpings Of a clap-dancer to 60 on the air
from coast to coast.
Very likely this is worrying too much about moth
ing. Yet the whole business is a symptom, and
symptoms are often important.
With the discoveries and inventions Of science dur
sng the last few decades. mankind could almost COM
pletely remake the world, reform human society and
eliminate a tremendous proportion Of the misery and
discomfort that has been humanity's lot since time
began.
Instead OF making the most OF these things. how
ever, we are conplacently perverting them to uses
that are either dangerous or downright silly.
4 ire CT the chemist is turned into an instru-
snent by which we are very apt to exterminats our
selves in the next big war that comes along.
The conquest Of the air is diverted into the same
channel. and given a sIde-line CT useless stunts" 70
keep us amused between times.
The printing press reaches its a~potheosis in tabloid
newspapers, cheap magazines and itictic h~cst-sells-
fiction.
The moving picture camera permits us to watch
pver-paid actresses in vapid stories suited to the
minds OF 12-year-olds.
And so it goes. Our inventions have left Us too
Tar behind.

Cured to Celia she had not realized
before how good looking her father
was. In white flannels and blue

Celia inquired politely about her
grandmother Then Evelyn Par
sons said gaily:
Run along back to your young
men. Celia. I'm going to take your
father to see the new lily pool.
| We've Just time before luncheon
Slightly r~esenting this dismissal,
Celia went back to the porch. She
did not see her father again until
the meal was announced. Then he
sat at Mrs. Parsons right at the
head Of the table. and Celia was
at the opposite side with several
others between them.
She saw very little OF Tod Jor-
dan that afternoon. There was q
discussion whether the afternoon
should be spent watching tennis
matches at the club tthe third rank
ing national player was to play an
exhibition MATCH or whether they
| should all drive to the big flying
field. where elaborate maneuvers
we're to be staged. In the end 1t was
decided to do both. Young Carr,
who had a pilots license, Eve Brooks
and Jordan set off for the aviation
field. The others went to see the
tennis.
Celia, Lisi Duncan and Jimmie
Webster departed in Webster's
roadster. Kate Duncan and Brooks
drove with Mitchell and Mrs. Par
sons IN the latter's closed car.
Though the third ranking tennis
champion was in excellent form.
Celia Mitchell did not enjoy her
self. Everyone about her was chat

constantly being hailed by young

She and Webster joined them when
tea was served. Lisi had a blond
youth in tow and did net reappear
until Jimmie Webster went TO hunt
her to drive home.
1t was $50 when they reached

companions were not yet back from
the aviation field. Celia went TO her
room to dress for dinner.
So far the day had been disap-
pointing. Celia bathed l~eiSurely,
