teachers and citizens, we have been able to keep it intact"
 Frank Hayes, Mayor. May at this time express to you and the members of your asso- citation, my personal appreciation for the cooperation which you have given in the many appeals for help during the past few years. Without the blare of trumpets, but in a spirit of humility, the essence of true charity, you have collectively and individually given immediate response to every need. Your con- tributions to the Mutual Aid aver aging from $1,100 to $1,400 a month, are noteworthy. No less important have been the many, many individual acts of teachers toward the children under their care. They have studied the wants of those children, and in the dire need of many parents, have been quick to furnish food and cloth ing for the children.
 "When the story of this depres- sion is finally written, one of it's brightest pages will be that which records the devotion and the sacri- fees of the teachers, that the chil- QT6H ttClk SoIS iAieAs AtSS " deprived of the education which is their birthright. am proud of ..T. J. CoNDoN,

 "As chairman of the Mutual Aid Unemployment Fund of Waterbury, Inc, it seems to me fitting at this time. when we are renewing our pledges for the coming year, to eX- press through you to the teachers of Waterbury our appreciation TOT the loyal and enthusiastic support which they have given to the fund since it's inception in 1880. In fact, IT remember that the teachers or ganized and contributed 1 per cent | of their pay for the relief of the | unemployed, dividing it between the Lincoln House and the | Diocesan Bureau in the fall of 193O before the Mutual Aid Fund was organized. Waterbury, and especially those who have been without work dur ing the past three years, are doubly appreciative of the generous con- tribution which the teachers have made to their relief.

 Chairman Executive Committee.
 ..Your nominating committee has again made me the only can didate for. the presidency. should not be human if I did not feel a certain pride in this honor. For your, many past kindnesses am deeply grateful and to the loyal membership extend by sincere gratitude. Any president Is sue cessful only as the officers ana members cooperate. None of you realize the hours your officers and executive committee spend on as- sociation work and how willingly they give these hours-by them the association room has been much appreciated. Miss Helen Egan, our treasurer, has charge of the unemployment. Miss Eliza beth Brophy has charge of our fund for the member whose hospit- al expenses we pay, and Miss Mary Morris has charge of our Good Cheer Fund" We take this oppor- tunity to thank them publicly for undertaking the burdens of these association activities.
 For the coming year, as your president, I shall do every thing possible for the best interests of the members of this association. All that we wish, we may not be able to accomplish, but shall con- tinue to give the best that I possess to further the welfare of our mem bers. shal need the assistance and co-operation not of some members but of all members. Please give 1t to me.
 Therefore, although I am Con- necticut state director of the World Federation of Teachers, 1st vice. president of the Connecticut State Teachers association and eastern regional director of the classroom department of the N.
