Harmony in mixed voices will be one of the highlights of the bill and it is expected that even the most, critical of those who attend will applaud the vocalists. There will be pleasing dance numbers and arrangements on the well bal- anced program that are believed to be the type that move every one's feet to the rhythm of the music.
 Prominent among the seasoned vocalists who will be heard during the interesting program are Mrs Mildred Roach Lezotte, Leo Mahr, Patrick Hogan, Charles Conner, Phil Iagrosse, Maureen Crosby and a number of others. There will be ample comedy in skits offered hy Dan Conner, Tom Albone, Cy Walsh and Frank O'ponnell, while the dance steps are to be intcrpret- ed by the Ryan brothers, who need little more than the mention of their name in the way of tn- troduction Tn this city.
 With such a splendid cast to up- hold the traditions of the east end and the Sacred Heart parish, Rev Edward Duffy beylieves he has good reason to anticipate a capac- ity attendance and he is making preparations for the comfort ot everyone who expects to be present.

Blizzard Of '34 Recalled To-day

Most of Waterbury, just one year ago today, had its nose pressed against a window- pane, naryclling that there could be So much snow to fall i'm one day. When the snow finally cndeIs in the afternoon of February goth, 1t became the most important topic of discussion under it's unanlm- Ously bestowed title of "uhc blizzard of '34".
 Waterburians who had list encd year after year to the Paul-Bunyanesque stories of the blizzard of '88 had their own chance i'm the year just ending today. That they have done more than justice to their subject is evident from tho halo of legend which already surrounds the storm of last year.
 Actually, last year, the snowfall on February 10 and 20 was slightly more than IS inches, but the fall was so heavy and rapid that transpor- tation was tied up for more than a day. Only a tiny per- centage of the city's working population was at its job. Trolleys found it difficult t9 get from the car barns to Ex- change Place; private cars were almost isolated in their garages; train schedules were abandoned.
 Last years storm was a blizzard, but the blizzard of 'S8 fades into insignificance when compared with 1t by the fircside chattcrers who had been waiting years for just such revenge. In the year that has elapsed, many have learned to tell, with straight faces, of the way the snow drifted up as high as the sec Ond story, how they dug tun- ncls out to the street through tho snow, how the bungalow down the street was almost completely buried in snow. =.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, June 49,
Frank =. Gannett, publisher Of the
Gannett newspapers, last night urged
o nationwide radio audience to seek
understanding Of the money question.
"If this question were generally
understood, we would refuse to be
duped and misled by those who for
years have preyed upon our ignorance
and prof1ted by t." he said 1--WE
have been cheated out of untold mil
lions OF dollars; we have suffered Inn
measurable grief and misery by fluc-
tuation in the value OF gold. wide
fluctuations in prices, fiuctuations in
the purchasing power Of the dollar"
The publisher spoke over an N.
B. c. network, using the facilities of
Station WHAM. His topic was "After
N R. A., What?" His answer to that
query was that with N. r. A. dead
and A. A. A. slipping, the President
should return to the task of providing

EXCESS PROFITS TAX URGED.

MONTREAL, June 13 (P).-To over
come compulsions which he said now
st1ict business in the United States,
o. f. Strackbein, executive secretary
of the Allied Tobacco Trades Council
OF Washington, D. c.. today proposed
high taxes in new fields.
Whenever higher surtaxes on cor
porate income have been proposed" he
said in an address to the National
Conference Of Social Work. business
has protested that such taxes discour-
sse capital outlay and expansion.
High surtaxes on incomes are not
in themselves enough. A tax which
puts definite ceiling over profits is
needed. Excessive profits taxes of 100
per cent on all returns in excess of a
fair return on invested capital is the
answer"
Strackbein urged higher wages and
shorter hours to redistribute the prod
ucts of industry, and heavy gift and
inheritance taxes.
