 The pictures also pointed out how the country is separated into coast al divisions. There are i've of these on the Atlantic seahoard and as many on the western slaoreline. Within each division there is a headquarters to direct the work of the stations in that section. Shots of the newly-conskructed aviation base of the Coast Guard at Miami were also shown.

 The first and best method Of rcn- dcYing to God the service he has . right to demand is through ob- scrvalice Of the Ten Commandments which gre Gods Consultation, the foundation of hiS laws, and through propcr conduct Of the duties Of cne,g state ifi life while beWaring Of the material things Of the world.

 During leSS, the company's prop. erty and facilities were improved ct a cost of q, ,470, ,o7o. more than dou- hle this sum is being expended in 1eSe to further extend and perfect the eornpany's facilities in order to more adequately serve the public. An addition to the colnpanys of. fee building and showrool1is at Wa terhury will be completed in March. Larger and more complete quarters and facilities for serving customers will result.
 Many miles of lines to serve rural customers were built by the coIn- pany during 1885. The number of farms in the state to which electric service from central sources Is available was expanded markedly. These extensions account in part for Connecticut's progress from sixth to third place in the United States with regard to the proportion of farms in each state which enjoy electric service.

 Anticipating the trend shown dur- ing 1oS6 of c resumption in the growth of the company's electric load. an 0,200-kilowatt generating unit will be installed in the steven- son hydro generating station which is on the Housatonic river seven miles above Derby. Furthermore, c 2S. .000-kilowatt steam, turbo.gener- ating unit will be installed ct the Montville steam generating station on the Thames river above New London. This new unit will employ the highest steam pressure used thus far for generating purposes in this state.

SUBJECT CHOSEN
 FOR H. s. DEBATE
Catholic High Girls Select Interesting Theme on
 Supreme Court

The members of the Waterbury Catholic high school debating club, now busy with preparations for their coming debate, Resolved: That the Federal Constitution should be amended to limit the pow CT of the supreme court to declare acts of congress unconstitutional, |, are working along lines that are now being approved at the national edu- cs.ional conference in St. Louis. Tine local high school girls have been practicing for some weeks and only yesterday ct the national conference 1t was agreed that high school stu. ( nts can be "iminunized" from the effect of subvcrsive propaganda by the use of free and open discussion in class rooms.
 It is interesting to note that in 6 test conducted at the convention yesterday in which 24 selected pti- pils took part, the subject they dis- cussed was the same one that the Catholic high students have been studying for the past month. The chief purpose of the demonstration yesterday in St. Louis was to prove that highly controversial problems could be presented in the classroom without any danger 10 findocrnatin or needlessly prejudicing the minds of the public. Such discussions are beneficial because they give the stu- dent c more open mind as regards the subject and not . one-tracls opinion.
 The officers of the Catholic high debating club are, Eianor White, president; Ruth Wasilauskas, vice. president: Margaret Blake, secre- tary; Marie Charron, treasurer.

Italy has the right to ask that foreign
legations be withdrawn from Ethiopia

At the same time, these sources
stated that the British Government

litical status of Ethiopia a matter for
the League of Natiors to decide.
1t is with this attitude that An
thony Eden, foreign secretary, will go
to Geneva for the League Council ses-

1t was understood that Marshal
Pietro Badoglio, italian commander in
