the town are not satisfied with
the way the bi-monthly amateur pro

say the amateurs.
There isn't enough dough in it
for the winners" say the pros.
But Old Doc Witty. who used to

answer to cure the problem of get
ting the boys out to play in the little
tournaments which are held every two
weeks. Witty believes that under his
scheme the fields would be larger, the
purses would be bigger and every
body would be satisfied, for the WIN

prize money and the amateurs would
come in for good-sized job of golf

Rev. Raymond Bonniwell, o. F., of the Dominican Mission Band, will be the preacher at the Lenten Devotions every Wednesday evening at 7:3O o'clock at the Church of the Immaculate Conception begin- ming this Wednesday. He is a force ful and eloquent speaker and will have many instructive and interest ing messages to deliver.
 Sunday, March 22, the Sunday after the Feast of St. Joseph, has been designated by Most Rev. Maurice ?. McAuliffe, bishop of Hartford, as a day of solemn pray CTS for the church in Mexico.
 The bishops letter, read at all masses yesterday follows:
 "rn accordance with the plea of the Archbishops and Bishops of Mexico for prayers in the present state of persecution and spoilation during the month of March at the end of all masses, there shall be recited one Our Father and one Hail Mary, with the ejaculation Most chaste Saint Joseph, patron of the Universal Church, ostain from Jesus for the Church in Mex ico, true liberty"
 l name Sunday, March 22nd, the Sunday after the Feast of Saint Joseph, as a day of solemn prayers for the Church in Mexico. Exposi- ton of the Most Blessed Sacrament shall be held in all the parish
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-03-02

churches and convent chapels of the diocese until evening. The eve- ming exercises shall consist of the Litany of Saint Joseph, the above ejaculatory prayer and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
 The Pastoral Letter of the Mex- ican Bishops enumerates some phases of the persecution: "The number of priests has been limited in Q ridiculous manner, since the number of authorized priests is l97 = The seminaries have been closed = More suspicion that any property belongs to the Church or to any religious corporation is suffl- clent for its appropriation We can have neither hospitals, asylurns, orphanages, nor such other charit- able institutions as exist in the civ- ilized world All the cemeteries have been secularized and all relig- ious ceremonies in them are pro- hibited = Now, only the University and 8 few schools authorized by it remain safe = Persecution is legal and 50 long as the present law ex- ists they will continue to be ap- plied--Do not think that because 97 per cent of the Population are Catholics, according to the official census, these can therefore elect their representatives, vote their laws, freely express their opinions, or assemble peaceably to participate in public affairs. In all these mat ters, the simple fact of appearing to be 6 Catholic is a crime. We do not find any human remedy left to us, since all have been tried without fruit the cause of our profound grief is no small thing"
 Sincerely yours in Christ:
 Maurice r. McAuliffe,
 Bishop of Hartford.

 Doesn't Desire Sympathy
 T do not crave sympathy on ac- count of age," Pierce E. Freeman, victim of a trick Thursday night, said today in his final statement to- day. He denied the republicans call on him to discuss politics. His statement follows:
 "Tt does not make any difference to one nominated for public office what a man or woman voted last year. It is what you are going to vote this year that counts.
 T do not crave sympathy on ac- count of age. Just correct misun- derstanding. The republicans do not call on me to discuss politics. They can take care of themselves. Richard F. Ryan, former burgess, today denied he is working for MT. Freeman against Warden Sheridan.

Residents Of Block Will Ask Burgesses
 To Close Structure
Board May Not Be Able to Act on Request as Power Lies Solely With Warden Sheridan Proprietor
 and Skater Swamp Punches Last Night
NAUGATUCK WnA J. Easter. COrEeSpOndsnt-PhOne Naugatuck 67s-2

NaugAtucI, March "A complaint against the roller skating rink in the Rubin building on South Main street may be brought up at the meeting of the board of warden and bursesses tomorrow night, 1t was learned today.
 Other residents of the building, 1t was learned, are far from pleased because of the noise the skaters make at the rink and may ask the rink be closed. According to reports Burgess Victor Burkus has been ir1- vestigating in behalf of the cor11- plAinAnts.
 It will be recalled there was quite . dispute when permission was given the manager of the rink, Jo- seph Barton of Kansas, to lease the hall. Fire Marshal Michael Shea re- fused . permit on the grounds dan- ger might exist in case of fire.
 The matter was brought up at . meeting of the borough board and after the board made an in- spection the permit was granted on the grounds the owner make cer- tain repairs. However, Fire Marshal Shea did rot change his stand.
 Later the board issued Q Some- what equivocal statement in which they denied approving the structure as non n-dangerous in case of fires. Ccafusion was created by this statement in view of the fact they had approved leasing of the build ing.
 Tt is not believed the board can act on any coynplaint brought be. fore 1t, if one IS, for such power lies in the hands of Warden John J. Sheridan.
 The rink has been well patron- aaed since 1t started here. However, other occupants of the building think 1t is Q nuisance. Considerable interest in the outcome of the complaints Is being shown.
 n Is expected the board will talk rpeaiininary budget figures tomor- row night. Town Clerk Charles F. Daly said today he expected the financial report for the Il months ending Feb. go will be ready for the meeting. This, however, will not iil- cluAe welfare board figures. It sheaild give . good indication of how much the deficit will be this year. Reports of the departmental heads are expected to be made.

OIL COMPANIES TO
AID SAFETY DRIVES
fabrication Week Set for
May % to 80.

National "Lubricate for Safety"
week has been set for May % to 80,
inclusive.
This action on the part of the
oil marketing industry was suggest
ed by Victor Scales of the Ameri-
can Petroleum Institute and has
met with favor on the part of the
oil marketing companies.
The basic idea is for the oil COM
panies to tie up with the current
national crusades that are stressing
safety for the motorist. Their
function will be the complete in
spection and servicing of the &c.
100000 cars now in the United
States.
During the week selected, the
combined publicity efforts of prac-
tically all oil companies will be
placed in back of promoting this
drive and both oil and automotive
publications are lending their sup
port to the program.
The week of May % to 80 was
chosen as May is the peak month
as far as retail sales of lubricants
and fabrication service are con-
cerned, due to the spring change
over period
A standard slogan, "lubricate for
safety" will be used
