THOlMASTON CAMP
 DANCE WEDNESDAY
Black Rock CCC Boys Await Monthly Hop
 Boxing Thursday
Especial to The DelmocraO

Thomaston, March 12.-The men of the Black Rock C.C.C. camp at Thomaston, Conn, manage to find plenty of entertainment these days. A succession of social and athletic events is keeping the boys keyed up. Tuesday evening, Ed Cuddy from Naugatuck brought his min- stel troupe to Camp Roberts and provided the boys with thorough ly enjoyable evening. Cuddy be- ing an ex-serviGe man knows some- thing of camp life and therefore knew just what the boys would en- joy most. His troupe included the following: End men. Edward Cuddy and Jack Weaving. Stooges: Donald Linshey, Dick Cooncy. Alec Walker. Interlocutor: Frank Weaving. Eileen Herber. Edna Lewis, Andy McCann and Henry Stinson pleased with excellent solos while Schwartz and Shutzman scored with corklng novelty mus ical act. Ruth Daly, Agnes Hahn, Catherine Moore, Helen Levand- aukas, Alberta Hamilton and Arr thur Johnson made up a harmon ious chorus. The performance was greeted with continuous ap- plause that left no doubt as to It's sincerity and we have the promise of return visit in the very near future.
 Last Saturday night the Terry vile Girls club gave q dance party to the Camp Roberts boys at the Hilltop Club house. Mrs F. R. Whitman chaperoned the party and the affair proved pleasant evcn- ing.
 Thursday evening of this week will again see our camp pugllists in action in further tests for the camp boxing team and some very interesting matches have been ar ranged by James Maynard of Hartford, the camps senior inflrm- ary attendant.
 The scheduled basketball game with Camp Tourney has been again postponed due to unavailability of a playing hall at present. It is hoped that this return meeting may be held next week. The team has availed itself during its en- forced idleness of the opportun- ity of weekly practices at the Taft school gymnasium and Raymond Chagnon Of Bristol, the team cap tain, reports his aggregation ready and fit to even the score with the Mohawk rivals. The first of the March camp dances will be held Wednesday evening. March 14th.

FORUM LECTURER
 ATTACKS REPEAL
Margaret Slattery Hits at Militarism Also in "The
 American MOtiVe'

"We must have more of the spiritual, moral and ethical in our lives or we will be lost" Marga- ret Slattery, educator and lectur- CT, declared last night in an ad- dress at the Second church forum. "The American Motive", was the title of her discourse. She stated that greed and passion are now the American motive and drew a comparison with the different attitude of 10 to 15 years ago liberal and idealistc. In those days, she declared, we were more wont to listen to others but now we are not, with the result that the entire American motive is in danger.
 Miss Slattery warned her lis- teners that the MIRA alone cannot save us. The president has put it into effect to carry out plan ned economic program but, she pointed out, he cannot create char acter and confidence. In order to accomplish tho latter we must banish greed and personal ambi- tions, tho speaker charged.
 The advocacy of larger army and navy and the teaching of the theory that while war is wrong it is all right to kill in defense, was vigorously criticized by Miss Slattery, No one, she stated, can fairly sttao what constitutes de fense". The requirement in some colleges that students must en- roll in the R. o. T. c. was also attacked by the speaker on the grounds that is is a trend towards militarism resulting from propa- ganda, backed by intuition makers solely to increase their profits,
 Repeal of the 18th amendment was decried by Miss slattery. She said that while we were told that repeal would mean more decency and restraint, dining cars show an orgy of drinking and. even children are now being taught to drink through the sale of candy contain ing liquor and through the drink Ing scenes in movies.

(. OF (. RESOLUTION GIVEN SENATORS
Connecticut Unit Urges Action in Stopping Cer-
 tain PWA Loans

Hartford. The Connecticut Chamber of Commerce has trans mitted to the Connecticut congress sional delegation the following res- olution:
 WHEREAS, the duty of the Con- necticut Chamber of Commerce makes 1t mandatory that it take cogniZance of all things which af- feet the interests of the citizens of Connecticut;
 WHEREAS, in times of emerg- cncy recourse is had to remedial measures which, because of the very haste attendant upon their adoption, result in injustice even while achieving their constructive ends;
 WHEREAS, the expressed pur- pose of the national industrial re- covery act is to eliminate unfair trade practices and to promote the fullest possible use of present pro- ductive capacity of industries;
 WHEREAS, the public works administration, contrary to the ex- pressed purposes of the national industrial recovery act, is inviting municipalities to install municipal electric systems and offering to loan the necessary funds for that purpose, 30 per cent of which is an outright gift. thus unecessar- fly duplicating existing and ade- quate facilities;
 WHEREAS, because of the aforementioned 30 per cent gift municipalities which are content to be served by privately woned and operated utilities and, there fore, see no necessity for installing a publicly owned system, arc nevertheless called upon through federal taxation to defray a part of the cost of such systems to municipalities which may elect to Install them, which, of Itself, con- stitutes q discriminatory and un- fair taxation policy;
 WHEREAS, in the public inter- est, privately owned utilities arc not generally permitted by regula tory authority to compete by sup plying service in the same area; and
 WHEREAS, it Is quite as un- sound from the standpoint of the public interest to permit a public ly owned utility to compete with a PltoSViy o"hNA OAAS NS " PNA two privately owned utilities to compete with each other since such competition results in higher rates to the public, waste of cap ital and consequent unnecessary losses to investors.
 NOW, THEREFORE, BE TT RESOLVED, that we respectfully urge that the federal administra- ton of public works discontinue the loaning of funds to, and in any way assisting, municipalities in in- stalling electric utility systems which will compete with existing adequate facilities and good service rendered at reasonable rates. THE CONNECTICUT CHAMBER
 OF COMMERCE, INC.
 President Henry Trumbull in transmitting this resolution to our senators and congressmen said that ito create new electric utility plants in regions already well serv- ed not only threaens existing pri- yately owned corporations of great economic value as employing en- terprises, but likewise most unwar- rantably imperils utility security values in the portfolios of Connec- tto,tp, Ia cua ipeurance and bank.

Note: These pungent paragra-
phs are reprinted from dis
course delivered at the recent ses-
sion of the Wolverine State Bap-
fist Convention at Lansing. Mich.
Jesus never talked OF any reli-
gion as we name 1t. He said Il am
come that they might have life."
Not tenets. doctrines, institutions
etc. Christianity is first OF all
LIFE. II is a life as good as can
be made in all the three great re-
lations, namely; towards God. In
ones self and towards other men.
Jesus did not teach men a doc
trine of life: He simply teaches
men to LIVE. His purpose was
that truth in the inward parts
should work itself out in all vir-
tue and godliness. righteousness
and helpful service. There are no
other, relations to be counted;
these make up life. And so the life
that Jesus sets forth. to be later
called Christianity. Is life in each
and all Of these relations and In
each and all of them II is to be
the best that can be made.
Towards Other Men
We see at once II we follow on,
Il Is life of love. animated by
