Oldest Practicing Phar- lnacist to Be Honored
 Tuesday, May IS

Billie" Woods, oldest practicing pharmacist in this city, will be hon. ored at testimonial Tuesday eve ming, May IS, given by the Water bury Druggists Association at Pat sy Browns Silver Chalet.
 This year he is celebrating the 5Oth anniversary of his registra- ton as a pharmacist with the state pharmacy board. He first became a registered pharmacist in 1887.
 William H. Woods began his ap- prenticeship under George Vest brook, chemist with the concern James O. May, one of the pioneers of the drug business in Naugatuck. Since that time he has been con- nected with several companies but since 1903 has been in Waterbury. The present site of his store is on Bunker Hill avenue, where he cher- ishes many relics of implements of the trade used in days gone by.
 A large attendance will honor MT. Woods at the testimonial. Arrange ments are in the charge of a com- mittee of which Thomas F. Mo- Carthy is chairman.

Marius Risley Here
 Next Week For Talk
Catholic Campaigner to Speak at Knights of Colun=
 bus Rally on Green Wednesday Evening

The committee selected by Sheri- dan Council, 24, Knights of Colum- bus, met last night to make further arrangements for welcoming David Goldstein of Boston and Marius Risley, his assistant to Waterbury. These Catholic campaigners for Christ are booked to address the people assembled out in the open next Wednesday night at 7:45 o'clock at the Green. The forum topic is ''The Credentials of the Catholic Church"
 The speakers will deliver their message from specially construct ed lecture car which is attractively painted in papal colors. It is deco rated with 8 cruciflx and flags to symbolize the cause it seeks to ad- vance, that of God and County. h. side the rear part of this open lec- ture care is a compartment fitted with batteries, dynamo, micro phones and other machinery for the electrical transmission of the speakers voices. Through a novel loud-Speaking device, the voices are amplif1ed so as to be heard for a considerable distance.
 Good Will Mission
 The Committee desires it to be specifically announced that these visitors are coming to Waterbury ito set forth the doctrines, history and practices of the Catholic church with Christian charity and not in a controversial or belligerent spirit. Their mission is one of goodwill and therefore it is not to be anti Protestant, anti-Jewish, nor anti Anythingelse. It is an endeavor to enlighten the uninformed, to try and transform the mis-underStand- ing, which sometimes manifeStS in a spirit of intolerance, into a sympa- thetic understanding of what twen- ty millions of Americans who are Catholics really believe"
 A quiz period is announced to fol- low the address when any person in the audience is welcome to ask questions related to the subject dis cussed with the assurance that they will be answered to the best of the speakers ability and in a frank and courteous manner. This is consider ed to be one of the striking feat ures of this Wednesday night Catholic Laymen's Outdoor Forum. It is intended to give those seek ing further information, as well as those who may disagree with the contention of the speaker, an op- portunity to sound a Catholic lay man personally as to the reasons of his belief.
 When interviewed regarding this
