The case at Point Rock, situated
between North Carolina and Ten

rock once held this country under

the soil and the great weight of
water behind it caused the earth
to become out of balance to some
extent, causing earth tremors
which cracked the rock, allowing

Tells Sacred Heart Stu= dents of Value of
 Character

Character rather than knowledge was stressed as the ultimate goal by Rev. Francis s. Morrissey last night speaking at the graduation exercises of Sacred Heart high school. A class of 21 girls was graduated during colorful cere- monies at Sacred Heart church. The altars were prettily decorated with flowers, the gardenica, class flower. being especially conspic- uous.
 Father Morrissey pointed out that the training given in Catholic high schools was calculated not only to give students preparation for the problems of life but also to implant thorough knowledge of their religion. He told of attend ing graduation exercises at the naval academy at Annapolis last year where, he said. the graduates were prepared to depart to sta tions on the seven seas." Father Morrissey drew an analogy in which he declared last nights graduates must also be prepared to leave for stations on the sea of life.
 The valedictory was given by Lucy Guarrera, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Anthony Guarrera of 108 Walnut street. Rose Harmon, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Maurice

New Legislation Aid
 To Local Units In
 Preventing Packets" ,"
Local Council May Adopt Plan of Cooperation With Police Superintendent to Discourage "ChiseIers";
 Public Sympatlies Exploited By PanhandIers

As the result of the action by the legislature in passing law requir- ing all veterans vending magazines, books, rosettes. tiny flags, buttons and so forth to obtain permits from the chief of police in the. town where they are doing their selling, members of the Waterbury, Veterans council were reported prepared today to cooperate in every way with Superintendent Joseph H. Mclean in enforcing the new regulation. The law, which goes into effect July 1st, is aimed at the professional vendors who go from one town to another wher- ever conventions are being held.
 Under the present law veterans do not have to obtain permits. The result has been that professionals have come into the city time after. time and have abused their privil- eges in many ways. Imposters. wearing overseas caps and buttons have also operated with little or no opportunity being given the aut- horities to test the authenticity of their claims to be veterans.
 Time after time professional ven- dors have invaded the city, as in teh case of the Moose convention last week and of the Knights of Columbus jubilee celebration, and have gone off with huge profits. 5 The new law provides that ali veterans shall apply to the chief of police, not less than 10 days pre- vious to the day that they intend to sell on the local streets, for a permit. The chief can oblige all to produce discharge papers and can use his discretion in the giving out of permits.
 All veterans organizations in joined in having the bill passed. The local veterans orr ganizations today stood ready, therefore. to aid Superintendent Mclean in enforcing the law once it goes into effect. It is expected that when the Saengerfest takes place on the 22nd and 23rd of this month the usual number of pro- fessional vendors will be in the city. However, they will be allowed to operate as the new law will not be in force until July 1st. Although the public will be warned that they will profit Individuality,
 It was declared today by local veterans that the ex-soldiers' or- have always notified the public in advance if they were to make an appeal for support of any undertaking or drive for funds. The new law will clean up situa- tion, it is said, that has been very

A final re- port was made by all committees in charge of the Clubs recent testi- monial dinner to Gov ernor Frank Hayes, and a rising vote of thanks was given to all those whose efforts were instru- mental in making the affair a suc- cess.
 It was unanimously decided that a committee be appointed to locate suitable quarters for ciubrooms. Several places were discussed but none will be definitely decided up- on until the committees report is received.

 RE0OLNb ELL IndC whereas
 rumor has spread throughout
 the community of Waterbury
 concerning the formation of
 fusion or independent party to
 combat the local administra-
 tion this fall, LET IT BE
 KNOWN AS A MATTER OF
 RECORD, That the Jefferson
 ian Club of Waterbury denies
 any participation in such
 movement, and furthermore,
 endorses and will support the
 regular Democratic nominees.
 President Navin bitterly de- nounced those who maliciously or otherwise have spread erroneous reports concerning internal dissen- sion in the organization.
