HOTEL MEN WILL
 MEET GOVERNOR
Will EndeayOr 10 Persuade Him to Call in the
 Legislature

Hartford, Conn, Dec 26-UP)- Representatives of the Connecticut Hotel Owners association were to meet with Governor Wilbur l.. Cross today in an endeayor to per- suade him that inability of hotels to sell hard liquor has created an emergency warranting a special session of the general assembly.
 Willard B. Rogers, Hartford, chairman of the association's legis- lative committee, and J. c. Lavin, New Haven, committee member. were to present the demands of the group before the governor.
 Requests for special session al- ready have been received from the Connecticut Retail Beer, Wine and Liquor association, from various groups in Fairfield county seeking more extensive construction of the Merritt highway, and from, Mayor Jasper McLevy, Bridgeport, to re- lieve the cityss financial difficulties until April.
 The governor, thus far, has re- jected all proposals for a special session but it was believed in some quarters he might find an emer- gency in the liquor situation if he felt certain the republican contin- gent in the house would agree to certain changes in the liquor con- trol act and would cooperate in other respects.

.PWA APPLICATIONS
 CEASE JANUARY 1
State Engineer Issues Warning After Receive
 ing Stack of Inquiries

The continual barrage of inqui- ries as to the final date for accept ance of applications under the public works administration promp- ted the state engineer, Leslie A. Hoffman, to quote the following telegram from Administrator Har- old I. ILckes.
 While it is true that money available is being rapidly allo- cated do not let this fact stop your getting in projects as fast as possible. So far as your state is concerned I want you to go ahead with your projects without refer ence to date of January 1st."
 These questions prompted the state engineer to say that through out Rhode Island and Connecticut a numbr of worthy projects are in various stages of development with the continuation of the public works program beyond the expen- diture of the original fund which as yet is undetermined. He pointed out that the public works adminis- tration could not fully report on the desirability of enlarging the program until it knew what quali- fled projects demained which could be considered in the program. Jan- uary 1st was fixed as the approxi- mate time funds would be exhaust ed so further allotments would be doubtful. When public works ad- ministration was started, there was no accurate information available relative to the extent to which qualified projects might me submit ted. To date, 46 applications have been received by the Rhode Island advisory board and 119 by the Con- necticut advisory board. There are indications that projects of a most worthy character are in various stages of development and might be expected to be presented to the rspective boards of the two states in the very near future.

Notre Dame Acting President to Speak K of Dinner
CHURCHES FILLED
 AT MIDNIGHT MASS
In Some Places It Was Necessary to Use the
 Basement Chapels

The thousands who attended mid night mass in the different Cath ollie churches were very much pleased at the opportunity to com ply with their duty at that hour, giving them more time to enjoy the great festival of Christmas in their homes. Of course the wealth CT conditions were ideal for mid night service, but probably that had nothing to do with the large congregations whcih filled the churches and in some places rem dered it necessary to celebrate mass in the basements.
 In many places cars were parked on both sides of streets and in al- leyways long distances from the churches. The preachers read the gospel of the day, delivered short sermons and wished the congrega- tions a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. After the serv- ices people congregated in groups outside and exchanged the compli- ments of the season, so that per- haps it is no mistake to say that Christmas had more general and fitting observance in Waterbury than ever before.

Pair, Charged With Theft May Have Cases Dropped If
 Car Owner Is Not Located By Thursday

The police got their men and the alleged stolen goods, but in the ex- citement the owner of the little red coupe disappeared without leaving his name or his registration num- bers.

 Patrolmen Alfred .Overton and Thomas Bedding made the arrests early Saturday morning. Officer Overton observed the youths work ing about a car and finally walking away with two robes.

CHRISTMAS MUSIC CHURCH FEATURES St Michael's Taxed to Ca-
 pacity at Midnight.
 Mass Sunday
WATERVlLLE

Waterville's Christmas celebra- tion was as usual a quiet one this year with services at the various churches and family parties the general order of things. No com munity tree frightened the Water will Green since the park depart ment was unwilling to equip the tree with lights, following the un- fortunate experiences of the past few years when the bulbs were stolen from the tree. Many indi- viduals, however, displayed the lighted trees in their yards.
 The outstanding religious cele- bration of the day was the mid- night mass at St Michael's church. Rev William J. OShea, the pastor, took advantage of the extraordi- nary permission granted by Bishop Nilan-that of celebrating mass at midnight in observance of the present Holy Year and celebrat- ed high mass at that hour. Long before midnight the ordinary seat ing capacity of the church was filled and by the time the service started many extra chairs were oc- cupied and scores stood in the rear of the church.
 The choir sang special pro- gram of Christmas carols from 11:45 until midnight under the di- rection of Miss Winifred Delaney, organist and choir director. During the mass the following musical pro- orr m HuaS C,1nor

any age; apple diving contest, boys, any age; sack race, boys un- der 12; sack race, girls, under 12; three-leged race, boys, any age; three-legged race, girls, any age.
