SPEAKER LAUDS
 CATHOLIC CLUB
Maurice Donovan Gives In- spring Address to St.
 JOseph's Holy Name

Catholic action in its most under standable form consists of social ac- tivities, retreats and study clubs, Maurice Donovan, organizer of the Mt. Manresa retreatants, told mem- bers of St. Joseph's Holy Name so- ciety at the parish hall last night. The speaker described various types of leadership and cited many in- stances of where unexampled men have led others to destitution and away from the Catholic church. He told the gathering to be proud of their Catholic inheritance, to con- tinue their fine spirit, and abide by the church teachings at all times.
 Rev. Adolph E. Gradeck, chap lain of the society, said young men Of today are too esily led by street corner hangers-on. He attacked those who never seem to feel happy unless they have a bottle of liquor on their person. He said children are inclined to favor an elder who speaks from the side of his mouth rather than one who expresses him. self openly and unashamed. He severely criticised young men at- tending dances in this age who need "a few shots" before they have the courage to approach poten- tial partner. He added if the young ladies had their proper respect they would feel sighted to think that they didn't appear to be of the right type to ask to dance unless the young man was spirited and made brave and courageous by the liquor. Father Gradeck concluded with the expression that words teach, but examples speak for the character of the young man." He urged them to select someone for whom they have the greatest respect and to try to initiate his qualities.
 Rev. Joseph J. Valantiejus, pas- tor, gave description of his recent trip through Lithuania and told of the existing conditions there today. Father Valantiejus expressed him. self as being greatly surprised at the number of activities conducted with such great success during his dpScIlCe. TIC ohlu IklC AulpIOtCulCAAt in the Holy Name society's fife and drum corps was almost unbelievable and the building up of such fine spirit among the membership was most commendable.
 The gathering thoroughly enjoyed a performance given by several members of the local Turner's so- ciety who went through an unusual exhibition of difficult gymnastic feats. The personnel of the acrobats included Ernest Deschenes,. Joseph DiMaria, Fred Persio, Eric Schmeer and Vincent DiMaria. They were directed by William Pump.
 Plans were made for future activ- ities at business meeting which preceded the speaking and enter tainment. John kairis, president, announced that members will at- tend Holy Communion in a body Sunday morning at the 2 o'clock mass.
