Sacred Heart Church. Plans
 Golden Jubilee ObserUance
Rev. John MCGrath to Of ficiate at Jubilee Mass,
 Sunday, December 1

Climaxing the observance of the Golden Jubilee of the Sacret Heart parish, the beautiful Wolcott street edifice which was begun in 1885 will be re-dedicated amidst solemn cer- emonies Dec. 1, with Most Rev. Maurice McAuliffe, bishop of Hart ford presiding at the exercises. The parish is this year observing the 5Oth anniversary of it's founding as the first daughter of the mother church the Immaculate Conception church.
 At II o'clock in the morning, Dec. 1st, parishioners will gather for a golden jubilee mass, which will be attended by Bishop McAuliffe and his staff. The celebrant of the solemn mass will be Rev. John Mo- Grath, Q native of the 6acret Heart parish.
 This year the church has been redecorated, and its interior has been re-finished in preparation for the 50th anniversary observance. 1t had been planned to have the cele- bration earlier, but inability of Bishop McAuliffe to be here pre- viously made necessary the setting of Dec. lst as the date.
 Present Pastor
 Rev. Henry Quinn is the present pastor of the church. His assistants are Rev. John Dial, Rev. Edward Duffy and Rev. Albert Callahan.
 The parish now has 4000 members, and boasts a parochial school with $50 pubils, as well as high school, the first Catholic high school in the diocese, which has 125 students.
 Resident of the eastern part of the city were all members of the Immaculate Conception church when, on Feb. 18th, 1885, it was announced from the altar of the Immaculate Conception church that Bishop McMahon had instituted Q new parish in the city. Rev. Hugh Treanor was the first pastor. Land was purchased on Wolcott and Tay- Tor streets. Meanwhile the parish- toners were attending services at St. Patricks chapel on East Main street.
 Corner Stone In '85
 On August 16, 1885, the corner stone of the Sacred Heart church was laid, and the church basement was opened for services in March of the following year.
 Ever since that time, the Sacred Heart parish has been one of the leaders of the diocese. Its member ship had grown, and its activities have been broadened year by year. The golden jubilee will enable par ishoners to celebrate the glorious hiOtory of their parish.

A CHANGE OF PLANS

IT is generally taken for granted that the
Administration and the business commu
nifty must find a new method Of bringing about
business recovery. in view of the Supreme
Courts NRA decision, and that this method
must include some better system of applying
those controls which fell to the ground in the
sick chicken case.
Since most people agree that something in
the nature Of a constitutional amendment
would De necessary to bring mis- about, it is
apparent that any such program would take
a very long time to paC into operation.
It might be more stimuli ting to look in an
entirely different direction. The reversal of
MIRA fortunes unquestionably brings the New
Deal program TO a halt; but the field of gov
eminent control Of business is not the only
one in which fresh course could well be
cha-ted.
For it is worth remembering that the NRA
was not merely a scheme for migrating the
business world through government action.
It's basic philosophy was the notion that re-
covery could not take place unless prices were
kept up, and this, in the condition of the last
few years was possible only through restric-
ton Of supply.
AS the NRA cola pses, the chance of put
ting this policy into effect collapses also; and
it is worth asking ourselves whether a change
of course in this field might not be advisable.
When you try to bring about recovery by
maintaining good prices you run the risk of
mistsking the symptom for the disease. Fall
ing prices, or low price level generally, are
not the cause of bad times; they are the re-
suit of bad times.
II you undertake to boost these prices by
cutting down on the available supply of goods
YOU are not getting at the underlying trouble.
The real trouble is the fact that production
at a profit is not possible for the bulk of the
producers.
In other words. it is the flow of goods it
self. rather than the price level at which the
flow is taking place. that is important. And
the downfall of the NRA may give us an ex-
cellent chance to re-orient our policy so as to
deal with the trouble itself instead of with
its painful symptoms.
We have been trying, so far, to bring about
prosperity through the control of an artificial
scarcity. In some ways this has borne an
unfortunate resemblance to the labors of a
man who tries to lift himself by his own boot
straps. We may be better off i we get away
from the notion that we can help oudselyes by
the use of scarcity, and turn to the idea of
trying to work the trick by stimulating abund-
ance.

CHOICE OF INTEREST

THE uncut diamond as large as an ostrich
Il egg that arrived in the United States the
other day probably will be admired and safe
guarded for generations to come. Yet the
story Of the inconsequential prospector whose
Kaffir slave stumbled upon it and brought it
to him seems to be more Of a marvel than the
diamond itself.
For here was poverty and restitution sud-
denly become rich. a man in his sixties, re-
signed to a pauper's end after long life of
failure and despair. all at once handling more
than 100000 all his own.
The world has been following the adven-
lures of that paupers unusual discovery much
more closely than the story of the finder him
self. But wouldn't you like to know what has
happened to Jacobus Jonkher, the struggling
prospector suddenly become wealthy, even
more than you would what happens to that
piece of hard. lifeleSs stone?

CLOSER TO MILLENNIUM

IT seems that every time the doctors of the
country meet they produce so much en-
coura cement in the battle against disease that
surely the millennium. at least in health,
should arrive sooner than one might expect.
At the very beginning of their session in
Atlantic City, for example, the doctors an
nounced such marvels as brain wash" that
has cured paralysis and other human deform-
tiles. and an antiseptic solution 10 times as
strong as the strongest in use today.
OF course, it may take some time before
either of these innovations can be included in
the regular physicians routine. Such an i'm
portant matter as technique must be worked
out first.
But it does give one feeling of consider
able satisfaction that the promise of relief,
at least. for some of our most tragic diseases
and deformities may soon be fulfilled.

WHY NOT NOW?

A n implied promise that the Guffey bill will
~ be enacted prompted coal operators and
miners to continue their wage agreement two
weeks longer delaying a threatened nation
wide strike.
Although Congress need not act as II gun
we're held to its head. there is no valid reason
for delaying decision one way or the other on
this measure. II has been before Congress
long time. It's provisions are clear; its objec-
tives are understood. 1t is designed to stabilize
this very sick industry. regularize prices and
wages. and enable the national government TO
husband this very valuable natural resource.
We believe il should be enacted. And II it
can be in time 10 prevent a strike, so much the
better.

ESSONS FROM EXPERIENCE

IF the burnt child fears the fire, the Ameri-
can people ought to have fairly wary
and suspicious attitude toward the business
Of loaning American money to nations which
are at war.
That being the case. they ought to be in
terested in a bill recently introduced in Con-
gress. This bill. sponsored by Rep. Kloeo OF
Ohio would prohibit the. making of loans by
any one in the United States to any nation
engaged in war, or to any citizens or organi-
zations in such a nation unless that nation
were the active ally Of the United States.
The bill is due for hearing before the
House Foreign Affairs Committee on June
Is. and the ordinary citizen might reasonably
be expected to hope that it wins approval.
Ths course Of history from 1917 onward
might have been vastly different if such
Law had been passed 20 years ago.
