the late twenties or early thirties,
he tottered to his feet with that
whats it all about" expression,
reached in the moth balls, drew out
Tela Burt, gave him a shake, and
advised him he was to be the Com
mander, on whom would rest the
tasks necessary to the beginning
of a new era in Legion activities.
Everyone beamed with satisfac-
ton except poor Ike Moore, who
registered relief.
To him it was the end of vigil
of years beside this dormant, dor
mant thing. 1t was rest from the
eternal task of trying to give the
slumbering an appearance of ami
nation, of trying to prove that
that, which to all intents and pur-
poses was dead, was somehow
alive. Now time had proved his
task well done.
Lots of water has run down
stream since last we took up the
cudgel in the cause of the ex-sol-
der, but a lot more things of in
terest and benefit to the heroes of
yesterday, have flown from the
Legislative grist. The spread of in
formation to those most interested,
the thousand needful little COM
munity tasks that have always
been the duty of such organiza-
tons as the Legion, have been
gathering dust.
Comrade Burt, tough ole skipper
that he is, says the watchword is
service, and he had a CLEAN in his
eye like he meant it. We shall see
what we shall see.

BETHESDA BAPTIST

The services at Bethesda last
Sunday followed the usual lines:
Sunday school and preaching in
the morning, B. Y. p. u. and
preaching again in the evening,
with the pastor, the Rev. w. E.
Warrington, in the pulpit at each
service. Mrs. Mae Marshall and
Scottie Faison sang solos in the
morning. Attendance normal.
This Sunday the missionary So
ciety will have charge. In the
morning Mrs. M. ]. Lee will give
the message; in the evening a lit
erary program viii be given. The
Brotherhood of the church is max
ing herculean efforts to line up
all the men of the church and,
according to w. NJ. Smith, the
chairman, are having satisfactory
success. The Improvement club
will have a membership drive
launched September IL at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Whitley,
2816 Elliot avenue, to which all
members of Bethesda are invited.
Among the coming activities of
the Brotherhood is another dinner
entertainment soon. The last one
was so enjoyable that the Brother
hood has been smothered with re-
quests to repeat it. The pastor
left for Chicago Tuesday night to
bring Mrs. Wellington home. She
has been visiting relatives in that
city for the past month.

LETTERS
HITS CONDUCT OF BAPTIST
ASSOCIATION

10 the EQlCOr:
The Minnesota Baptist Associa-
ton, meeting with the Zion Baptist
Church of Minneapolis, has just
ended, but the church going public
does not really know what tran
spired in that Associations ses-
sions. The Mt. Olivet Baptist
Church of which / am an active
member is one of the strongest
supporters of this organization,
yet we fail to see just why so lit
tie consideration is given this
church.
The Association is made up of
the five Baptist churches Of the
Twin Cities, and to any sober
minded person it would be suicide
to lose the least of these knowing
that in union there is strength.
Picture an organization of this
size and a one man rule, one so
wrapped up in self that he abso-
lutely refuses to turn a listening
ear to those who are responsible
for him holding the position he is
now holding.
1t is a sad state of affairs when
a religious organization will use
unfair tactics to accomplish its
ends. When my pastor, Rev. ]. c.
Bothic, attempted to get hearing
from the floor during the business
session, he was booed or so much
noise was made by the political
clique of the powers that be that
he could not be heard. / can hear
that domineering voice from the
chair saying sit down, you are out
of order. Again my pastor rises
to a point and again the chatter
starts and the chair says that is
new business and to my surprise,
there has been no call for new
business this morning.
Now Mr.. Editor, if all this was
overlooked, and nothing done OF
said about it, could one expect us
to sit idly by and see the program
carried out to the letter, and when
the time came for Mt. Olivet's pas
tor to deliver his sermon, prepared
beforehand for this occasion, he
was ignored and not even as much
as an apology offered for its omis.
sion.
When a man of the type of Rev
Bothic with progressive ideas anC
willingness to work to help put
the program over, is denied the op-
portunity to express his views il
tells me that a change is necessary
somewhere.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-02
Of Beloved Memory

Members of the official family of the late ex-mayor, Edward c. Kilduff, are pretty well scattered today. A good many preceded him in passing to the Great Beyond. But there are still many Waterburians who recall the days of the Kilduff administration of our city gov ernment. Those were the days Just lead ing up to the turn of the century - happy days, too. Many sentimental story could be written about that period, so, so different from the hectic and fast moving days through which we now romp.
 In democratic circles for long years, even after MT. Kilduff himself had left this city, his name was byWord. And there are men who still speak in highest praise of the manner in which he trans acted the duties of the office of mayor. He was well-trained in civic duties. His mayoralty came after a thorough season. ing in practical politics as well as perfect understanding of the workings of our civic government and the needs of his fellow citizens.
 His name was long linked with the mercantile world of Waterbury. The modern generation never knew the Bank street store of Ed Kilduff, but their father and mothers did and will recall it well, as they do also its genial proprietor. Kindly to a fault those who knew, grew up with, loved, and respected the late Mayor Kilduff, will regret that his last days were not spent here in the city of his birth and to which he gave so many years of his life in faithful and conscien- tiOus service.
