Vets Less In Need
 Than Average Man
American Legion Figures Show Pension Racket Cost
 More Than War Itself

Every American should study the facts of war veteran pensions and help to wipe out this national scandal, the American Veterans association declares in an adver- tisment appearing in the March issue of Today, the magazine edited by Raymond Moley.
 Calling attention to the fact the widow of an emergency captain yillcd in action receives only $50 n month while an emergency captain retired for 30 per cent disability receives $127.50 month. the ad- vertiscment states that the United States Is the only country in which pensions are n political isSue."
 Unusual Case Cited
 Some unusual cases of veterans whose pensions were dropped after investigation arc outlined.
 ",rhe pension racket in tho Uni ted States after war has always caused the country a lot more than it cost to fight war itself," the Veterans association says. "Six widows from the war of 1872 are still receiving pensions. Their hus- bands were in the service 122 years ago and when they were old men married young girls who got the pensions.
 "The history of pension legisla- ton in the United States has al- ways been the same. At tho close of war pensions have been granted to the widows of those killed, and to those veterans in jured In war service. ni later years laws are passed which grant pen sions to hundreds of thousands of veterans who may or may not have been injured-bnouses and other benefits are given to all veterans. simply because they had the privil- ege of wearing the uniform.
 This always works to the ad- vantage of veterans as class and to the disadvantage of deserving veterans, and of all citizens who are not veterans.
 ' Work on Bonus Net
 "The veterans lobby is still working for the immediate pay ment of the bonus which Is not due till 1945, which was vetoed by three presidents of the United States and which should never have been passed in the first place.
 We who are paying for this ad- vertisement protest that the indi- viduai veteran, unable to mako shimeslf heard, Is being disgraced by political lobby which is try. Ing to force tho so-called bonus bill, and various pension bills. through congress. These bills are vote getting schemes for which the Aniorican nation will pay in billions Of dollars for generations to come. sIt is true that many American veterans arc poor and destitute. That haa been the common mis- fortune. They deserve help to the sumo degree that other unfertu

Easter was observed yesterday III Waterbury in a very fitting man ner. Special services were conduct cd in the Catholic and Protestant chrches, several social functions were conducted and, last but not least, the usual parade of fashions took place despite overcast skies. Needless to say. the Easter parade of 1884 was equal to if not more elaborate and colorful than in any past year.
 Thousands filled the churches for the Easter services. Bright and early men. women and children were on the streets headed for their respective places of worship. The skies were dark as the day dawned and continued so until late in the afternoon when the sun broke through for a while. Satur- day afternoons and evenings tor rential rain served to slow up Eas- ter shopping considerably and was a disappointment not only to the merchants but to the prospective buyers.
 Church Services
 In all the Catholic churches the altars were especially decorated for Easter Sunday and special musical programs were rendered. The edi- fees were carwded to capacity at all masses and the sermons of the clergymen dealt with the resurrec- tion. |. The Easter observance was op- | ened with a sunrise service at the First Baptist church. Due to the threatening weather it was shifted from the original scene, Hayden park. The speaker was Waights c. Henry, Jr. John Preux led the service, Robert Borden read the scripture, John Johnson played the trumpet prelude and Viola Nodine told the story of the origin of the hymns sung at the service.
 Musical Programs
 Later at tho First Baptist church special music was offered at the regular service. Those participat- ing in the musical program were Miss Artiss de Volt, Miss Mildred Buttrey and Miss Frances Beach Carlson. A baptishal service fol- lowed, those being baptized includ- ing Jean Copp, Hazel Ruth Burner, Doris Ann Wilkenbach, Marion Elsie Alexander, Stella Jessie Zdan- owicz, Anna Edith Renna, Robert Leon Ganaley, John Barone, Walter Nowakowski. George Renna and Edwin Wallace Alexander. The junior department of the Sunday school of the church held a con- sccration service yesterday, also, at which Mrs Percival F.. Dixon spoke on What Easter Means. Robert Hall, Daniel Zdanowicz and June Mcbride acted as ushers. A candle lighting service brought the eXer- cises to an end and presented to the Sunday school. Miss Thelma D. Race spoke at the candle serv- ice.
 Pageant Staged
 Yesterday afternoon at St Johns Episcopal church the Sunday school conducted an Easter pro- gram and last night the church school of the South Waterbury Federated church presented pag- cant in the South church parlors. A play entitled "Simon the Leper" was presented last evening by the young people of the First Meth odist church under the direction of Miss Lois Beach.

 If this bile Is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have . thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head aches and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned.
