BUSINESS GOOD
 IN NEW ENGLAND
An Expert Has Analysed All Conditions for First
 Half of Year
By RAYMOND BRENNAN (Of Dun & Bradstreet, Incl (VVritteu fN,. V1nited Pressl

w
 Sustained vigor characterized bus- mess expansion i'll the New England states during the first half of the current year, in spite of the swift ness of the forward stride in many divisions.
 Launched from the strongest posi- tion since 1929, the major industries opened the year close to their prac- tical capacity, and some ahead of the previous peaks, with backlogs suff1- cient to maintain operations into the third quarter.
 During almost every month the general level of business activity ex- ceeded that of the comparative one back to 1929. Despite the lowering in May from the years high in April, the average for the six months of 1887 was around 20 per cent above its 1886 comparative.
 Farm income was widened fur ther, even after its broadening in 1936 to 13.3 per cent from 1885, which compared with an increase of 10.9 per cent for the entire country.
 Industrial employment started to taper in May, but wage earners num- bered around 16 per cent more than in the first half of 1886, while total wages paid were around 32 per cent larger. With the increases granted by textile mills in March, some of the workers were receiving more than in 1929.
 Private industries absorbed nearly 20 per cent more than last year. Both shoes and textiles contributed heavily to the enlarged production. For 10 consecutive months, shoe production reached record-breaking proportions, the 13,210,096 spairs turned in April striking an all-time peak for that month. Despite the April decline in Maine, where many factories were closed by the strike waged by the c. I. O. union, New England shoe production for the first four months of 1887 went to 58,564, 800 pairs. This was 2l per cent larger than the corresponding 1936 total, and represented nearly one- third of the country's footwear out put. The volume of orders received in June, following the lull in May, was estimated to keep factories on full schedules for two to four months.
 Turning out nearly two-thirds of all the worsted and woolen goods manufactured in the United States, New England mills consumed ap- tarel wools in April at the fastest rate for that month since 1923, and exceeded by approximately 40 per cent the normal average of the last ten years.
 Unfilled orders for wool goods were worked down in April and May, but on June 1 averaged 25 to 30 per cent more than year earlier. Backlog of mems wear had declined to about 50,000,000 yards, which would main tain prevailing operations to mid- October.

Diocesan Bureau Aids 3,998
 Families During Past Year

Connecticut Council of Catholic Women from this city are Miss Mary Hennessey, chairman of the committee on industrial problems, and Miss Kathleen Crowley, chair man of the committee on youth ac- tivities. ...
 Orphanage
 St. Joseph's Lithuanian orphan age, affiliated with the bureau, is in charge of Rev. Joseph J. Valan- tiejus, as superintendent. A report of the orphanage's work in 1886 is included in the general report.
 Mentioned in Miss Griffith's re- port is the fact that the Waterbury office during the year had the service of a psychiatrist one morn ing each week, and the services of a psychologist as needed, This was made possible through the courtesy of the Waterbury Society for Men- tai Hygiene.
 Bishops Tribute
 In a foreword to the annual re- port, Bishop McAuliffe pays tribute to the work of the Diocesan Bureau of Social Service. He says:
 EPISCOPAL RESIDENCE
 40 Pennington Avenue
 Hartford, Connecticut
 The annual report of the Di- ocesan Bureau of Social Service is another chapter in the history of Diocesan Charity. Page after page is replete with achievements for God and man. It is study of the vital problems of the day that excite the interest and concern of all communities. Unemploy- ment, child welfare, and family relations are discussed in legisla- tive halls, private conferences and social agencies. The Diocesan Bu- reau demonstrates again its re- sourcefulness and benign under standing of these questions.
 The report is a tribute to the enlightened leadership and de- votion of our Diocesan Director and the highly trained staff of workers. The large number of cases which present themselves, the study and solution of the problems involved, such as ma terial help, moral supervision and the accurate record of the results obtained, make the report inter- esting and valuable.
 The motive power is the Charity Of Christ, Saint Paul's word: "the Charity of Christ presseth us," is the driving force of all Catholic Charity. He is the sublime Figure that directs and guides all our ac- tivities. We see Him in the little child: He who receiveth one such little child, in My Name, receiveth Me" We find Him in the poor: q have compassion upon the multi tude." He identifies Himself with the broken in body and spirit: "As long as you did it to one of these, my least brethren, you did it unto Me"
 The fidelity and devotion of the Connecticut Council of Catholic Women merits praise beyond measure. It carries out the great program of Catholic Action enun- ciated by our Holy Father, Plus XI.
