Tender Reception
 To Father Butler
Purse of Gold and Checks Presented Former Assistant
 at St Francis Xavier Church

The police department was rep resented by Patrolman Charles Harris, and Frank Holland, city fire marshal appeared for the Wa terbury fire department, each with a checks for a substantial amount. The pastor Rev U. J. Egan, repre- senting the parishioners presented Father Butler with check, for
 very large sum, and also de- livered an address in the course of which he reviewed the work of Father Butler in the parish for the past 12 1-2 years, and paid a high tribute to his valuable ser- vice. He also took occasion to remark on Father. Buffers amiable disposition, which enabled him to do a lot of hard work without get- ting out of sorts. During Father Buffers time in Waterbury, Father Egan said he never saw a frown on his face. On the con- trary no hour was too late or early and no matter how great the dis tance Father Butler was ready and willing to go when called. Father Egan said he was sorry to lose Father Butler, and he knew the people felt the same way, and concluded by saying that the priest is very much like the soldier; when he gets an order to move in- to a new position he obeys 1t with out asking the reason why.
 Father Butler responded in an address which provoked merri- ment. He talked of long years as a young man in St Francis Xavier parish and called attention to the big Holy Name parade held short ly after he came here. All the parish societies were, in line and he could hear people say, "Oh. there goes Father Egan and hts little boy" The speaker took occasion to thank everybody. mak- ing special reference to the Boy Scouts Drum corps, the altar boys, the police and fire departments. the parishioners as a whole, Father Egan and Father Dillon. It was nice to hear him say that no mat ter where he goes he will never forget the people of St Francis Xavier parish and will always keep in mind the fatherly counsel and kind treatment accorded him by Father Egan.
 In calling the meeting to order Father Dillon explained that owing to the unexpected death of Father McGurk, the entertainment pro- gram would not take place. Those on the platform included Father Egan, Father Butler, Rev J. J. Dillon, Judge Gormley of Nauga- tuck, Charles Harris and Fire Marshal Holland. Before and af- ter the exercises. the drum corps rendered a few appropriate selec- tions. At the close of the meet ing men, women and children gathered around and gave ex- pression to their feelings at los ing Father Butler. It was a dem onstration such as one seldom sees on any such occasion.

Sixteen Days of Intensive Work Expected to Raise Local Quota Chairman Allen Looks for One Hundred Per Cent Returns From Waterburians

Goss' statement is as follows:
 T notice that the annual roll call of the American Red Cross is scheduled to take place between the dates November II and No- vember 26, 1881.
 During the last sesio nof con- gress on account of the great drought of 1880, the American peo- pie were called upon again and responded to the emergency to the end that through the American National Red Crosss hundreds of thousands of people were cared for.
 There was a movement on foot in congres to have the government appropriate to the American Red President Hoover. the congress did not appropriate to the Red Cross, but on the other hand the Red Cross was able to collect enough funds to care for these needy cases in the area effected.
 "I do not know of any agency in the whole United States or even in the whole world which is so generality commended by the peo- pie. The relief work which the Red Cross always does, the service to war veterans, and the public health work done are of course the out standing features of this great philanthropic enterprise.
 q am glad to aid in the work, and. feel sure that Connecticut will come up to it's expected quota in raising the necessary funds to carry on this most important work"

Although the entertainment pro- gram, which was to be a part of the reception to be rendered to Father Butler at St Francis Xavier hall last night, was eliminated on account of the death of the Rev w. J. McGurk, this did not deter a crowd that packed the hall from being in attendance, and almost as many more gathered outside.
 Father Dillon presided and in- troduced Arthur Shea of the Boy Scouts drum corps, who presented Father Butler a purse of gold as a token of esteem from the scouts and musicians.

Small Firms Called
Better Off Than
Big in Slump

Depression periods offer rela-
lively better opportunities to
small businesses than to large,
the United Business Service de-
clared today. The smaller con-
Germ is more easily adjustable,
can make decisions and special
deals more readily. The big
corporation is slow and un-
wieldly in adapting itself to
changed conditions, and has a
big, expensive organization to
support.
If the management of the
smaller company is keen and
alert to meet conditions, prunes
its costs and adapts itself to
circumstance, it Is in a more
favorable position than its
larger competitor.

the largest in almost three weeks.
AS measured by the Standard

rather clear-cut indication of the
severe inroads into prices which
the quiet but persistent selling
has occasioned in this past week.

On the constructive side of the
picture is the knowledge shown
by precedent in which every
major bear market has been
known to end after a series of
false starts to recovery has so
discouraged stock buyers as TO
make them unnecessarily eau
tiouS.
At present, the market seems
to be entering that phase of the
cycle in which interest in COM
mon stocks reaches minimum pro
portions and optimism concern
ing the future is at lowest ebb.
Utilities Weakening
However, making closer
study of the price movements in
yesterdays session, it is found
that the utility group was out
standingly weak, with the stand
ard statistics average of 20 utility
stocks declining more than 4
points. For some time ii has
been evident that the utility
group has been holding up con-
siderably better than the rank

If deflation, therefore, is to
strike this list in the same pro-
portions as it has already done to
the market as whole, then it be-
comes more difficult to muster up
enthusiasm for the immediate
price outlook.
