PARK CITY K. OF (. | MEMORIAL SERVICE
Planning for Tribute to the Late Rev M. J.
 McGivney
N COLUMBUS DAY

Special memorial services in honor of the late Rev Michael J.. McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus, are being planned by Park City council, Bridgeport. Co., lumbus Day has been selected as the date for the tribute. The event has apparently been inspired by the success of the observance of McGivney Day in Waterbury last Saturday when some of the most notable church authorities in the history of the city gathered here for the services. Supreme officers of the order were also in attendance.
 Bridgeport knights have a parti- cular interest in the McGivney family. The late Rt Rev Monsignor Patrick J. McGivney, who died in Paris in 1928, was pastor of St Charles church in that city. Rt Rev Monsignor John J. McGivney, present supreme chaplain of the order, succeeded him as pastor of this well known church.
 The proposed services on Co., lumbus Day will commence with solemn high mass of requiem. Mon- signor McGivney will be celebrant. The Knights of Columbus Glee club will render a number of selections during the services.
 Final arrangements for the trib- ute will be made at meeting of Park City Council on September 27th.

Because it was the last para graph in a statement published by the commissioner of state motor vehicles yesterday. It may have escaped the notice of those who may not have read the whole ar- ticle, yet the commissioners refer ence to wild life should not be overlooked. It is as follows:
