|GREAT INTEREST TN K. OF C. EVENT
Jubilee Dinner Promises to Be Outstanding Event
 in Councils History

Reservations for the annual Cath olic Action banquet of Sheridan Council, No. A, Knights of Col- umbus, will be made after Wednes- day of next week, Roger Walsh, chairman of the ticket and hotel committee, informed General Chair man William T. Harrington and Grand Knight Cornelius F. Maloney this morning.
 Owing to the size of the banquet hall and the manner in which the tables will be arranged for this oc- casion, which will be dedicated to the Golden Jubilee of Sheridan Council, limited number will be accommodated. Over 200 reserva- tions have been made to date, so those planning to attend are ad- vised to consult with the chairman immediately.
 The speaker of the night will be the Rev. Wilfred Parsons, s. J., 1la- tionally known Jesuit editor. Faith CT Parsons has long been ranked as our leading Catholic editors. He is also known as one of the best-in- formed clergymen in the United States. His intimate knowledge of current affairs is limitless.
 AS a souvenir of the occasion an attractive program is being arranged under the direction of Grand Knight Maloney, who is the son of the first Grand Knight of Sheridan Council, the late Cornelius Maloney, founder of the Waterbury Democrat.
 Old time members of the Knights of Columbus who are to be guests of the council include Martin F. Mcdonald, the ranking knight whose membership began on Nov- ember 12, 1885, the year of founding of Sheridan Council, and Past Grand Knight James w. Wigmore, who served in this office from 1895 to 1897.
 AS in past years, of course, the K. of c. banquet is open to both men and women.

Captain Peter E. Fox, marshal of the great parade to be held in this city on Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Irish- American club fin tribute to St. Patrick, today issued official orders which provide com- plete instructions to every delega- ton entered in the procession. The parade orders from the office of the marshal also contain the route which the parade will follow from it's point of formation in the vicinity of Grove street.
 The officials have decided upon a route similar to that which was in effect here years ago and which is considered to be most beneficial to the safety of the thousands who un- doubtedly will review the spectacle. Allowance has been made for the rerouting of traffic approaching the general business section and there is little danger of congestion.
 The line of march will also be to the complete advantage of the
