NO PROTEST YET
 MADE BY KNIGHTS
Police Supt Mclean Wis.,
 ited By Council Mem= Der Two Weeks Ago

Police Superintendent Joseph H. Mclean denied this morning that he had received any protest from the Knights of Columbus that burlesque shows being presented in Waterbury were objectionable, as reported in a newspaper yesterday. Instead, said the superintendent, a member of Sheridan council came to him two weeks ago and said that a special committee was making a study of the burlesque situation, and would lodge pro- test if investigation showed tha, the performances were below ac- cepted standards of taste.
 No such protest has been lodg- ed by the committee on behalf of the Sheridan council, K. of C., since that time, the superintendent says, and he consequently cannot act on a protest that has not been filed.
 The Knights of Columbus here, through its Legion of Decency program, voted some time ago to make study of burlesque shows being offered here, from moral standpoint. At that time it was decided to have secret committee attend a performance of the show and, if the performance was found objectionable, to make such a re- port to the proper authorities.
 Since the committee is secret one, it is not known whether q burlesque performance has been seen and studied yet. but Supt Mclean says that he has received no visit from the committee and has been given no formal protest

Seeks Refuge Of City'S PoorhOuse

All through the longest city court session in recent weeks a faded, tired-lOOking old man sat in one of the rear seats. Court finally over, he walked to the front of the courtroom and tapped Prosecutor Mitchell Meyers on the shoulder.
 "I want you to help me-" he said, '1'd Ike to go to the poorhousc."
 Surprised, the prosecutor asked "What for?"
 "I'm 7S years old" the man said," and I've lived here for 60 years, but l haven't any money, any job and my friends can't help me out at all. I want some place to eat and sleep and, if can, do a little work"
 Though court was completed Judge Edward MascOlO return- ed to the bench when he heard of the old mans request.
 'T find you guilty of vag- rancy". said the judge, thus complying with the formal ities," and I sentence you to Brookside till April list. Per- haps some one will be able to take care of you by that time."
 "Thank you, judge," said the old man. quietly. He shuf- fled of, head down, in the care of a police officer.

It is ex- pected that Captain W a r White of New Haven, former com- mander of Corp. Coyle post of this city, and former FIDAC comman- der will be one of the principal speakers.

Community House To
 Open Easter Sunday
Campaign for $lO,OOO Talked Over at Mt Carmel
 Meeting Last Nght-Team Captains Appointed

Rev Michael J. Lynch, pastor of Our Lady of Mt Carmel church, today announced a building pro- gram of interest to parishioners and the general public as we'll. Work has been going on for the past. few weeks in the rear of the present church basement towards the erection of a community house which will be completed and for mally opened Easter Sunday. When this work is completed plans will be drawn up for the comple- tion of the upper structures of the church. The style will be along the lines of the finest edifices in Italy.
 A general meeting of the par ishioners took place last night at the church with Rocco Ciampi, president of the senior or Italian speaking branch of the Holy Name society, as chairman. Father Lynch announced himself as being very in the program by his parishion- delighted over the inter manifested CTS and has promised that their untiring efforts will be well re- warded when they become fully aware of what their work is going to mean to themselves and those who follow them. Both branches of the Holy Name society and the Children of Mary Sodality have been active in preparations for the building and have brought the situation to it's present state.
 Plans were formulated to insti- gate a drive for the necessary ,fi- nances and the committee hopes to raise the sum of $10,OO0. This will be enough to complete the community center and start work on the completion of the church.
 Speakers Give Views
 Several of the parishioners ad- dressed last nights meeting and all urged that the drive for the necessary funds be started imme- diately. Those who spoke were Father Lynch, Rocco Ciampi, Guerenna Fiorucci, Charles Ne garo, Rose DiRienzo, Mary Mar tino, president of the Children of Mary, Anthony Martino, and An thory DcAngelo.
 The work on the community house is being directed by Father Lynch who in addition to purchas- ing the materials used in the con- struction, has hired mason laborers and carpenters who are now at work on the project.
 When completed the recreation building will serve as a founda- ton for the main altar in the up- per structure. In comparison the hall will be slightly larger than Duggan gymnasium and will in clude a modern gymnasium with all the facilities, billiard room, smoking room, showers and library for educational purposes. The hall will be used for all future church socials. It is expected that bowl ing alleys will also be installed. Two floors will be utilized in the building.
 Cost Set At $2O,00O
 One of them most modern pieces of heating apparatus will be in- stalled and this, according to Father Lynch, will have a double engine and serve a two-fold pur- pose, heating the church, basement and upper structure in addition tc ] the community house. It is believ' ed the cost of the recreation house will exceed $2O,000, but with the church completion in view, par ishioners are positive the drive about to start will receive consid-

 A counter offensive to neutralize some of the alleged propaganda recently circulated by peace advo- cates is to be launched shortly by the World war veterans of Water bury. Through the medium of the Waterbury Veteran Council. but particularly on the part of its members, the American legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Dis- abled American Veterans, Yankee Division club and other organiza- tions, a general meeting will be held here shortly and dedicated as National Defense Night" The le- gion's program of activities for the year calls for such an occasion. but in view of recent developments it is expected that the legion will relinquish the role of sponsor and cooperate with other units in focusing public attention on an adequate defense for the United States.
