FRED BERNHARDT
 IN COURT AGAIN
West Main Street Man Given Continuance for
 Indecent Exposure

Judge Edward Mascolo in city court today continued the case of Fred Bernhardt, g, of 462 West Main street, who was arrested early yesterday afternoon by Detective Edward McElligott and William F. Foley on charge of indecent ex- posture and creating disturbance. Bernhardt is an old offender, having been arrested about a year ago this time by Thomaston constable on similar charge.
 Real credit for the apprehension of the man, who has been the butt of many complaints by residents of Waterville street, and the section adjoining the New Haven railroad right of way. belongs to retired Ser geant John Brickel of the police de- partment, and his son Deputy Sheriff Frank Brickel. With the aid of a pair of field glasses, the father and son watched the actions of the man from their home, notified police. and later Sheriff Brickel &C., computed the two detectives in their chase of the man. When caught he readily admitted his indecent &C., ton, and stated that he had en- gagged in them in various other parts of the city. When arrested he was well dressed and preparing to drive away in his automobile, which was parked nearby.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN SIGNS?
 You might easily decide that many drivers cannot read the Eng fish language if you watch busy trafiic for a while-and that others are color blind.
 But traffic signs can be very help ful to any car driver. That, in fact, Is just what the multitude of signs and signals on our streets and high ways have been placed there for to help motorists prevent accidents.
 Consider for a moment what a chaotic condition every congested business intersection would be in if it were not for the clever STOP GO" light with it's red-yellow-green signals. And the plain STOP" sign at the boulevard is there to help you pass safely.
 You drive out into the country, and here is a sign that says "S-CURVE" or maybe SHARP CURVE AHEAD" You slow down with confidence in your knowledge of how to take the turns safely. And yonder is another friendly sign, "RAILROAD CROSSING.
 It is true that sometimes we think there are too many signS scattered about. But if We are tempted to disregard one now and then, let us remember that the sole purpose Of these signs is to help us drive with safety.

cred Me; sick and you visited Me Amen, say to you, as long as you did 1t of one of these, my least brethern, you did 1t to Me. We cannot truly love God with out loving our neighbor. Faith and love go hand in hand, lifting souls to God and with the strength of His love, reaching souls likewise destined for immortal life. Our Divine Saviour not only had com- passion on the multitude but fed them also in the desert; He not only commiserated the blind man, but restored his sight; He not only .wept over the death of Lazarus, but brought him back to life from the tomb. He went about doing good.
 Our appeal is for Gods chil- dren, the brethren of Jesus Christ You have responded generously in past years and we are deeply thankful. The needs at present are urgent on the Easter offering to bring peace and happiness to all classes, the poor and the sick, the orphaned and the er:ring. It Is making Christ live in the hearts of those whom He loves with an eternal love.
 "Our institutions of charity are admirably conducted. Faithful re- llgious women spend themselves and are spent in the case of di- vine charity. The merit of their lives Is known to God alone. They make the supreme sacrifice of all that life holds dear for God and His children. Their names are written in the book of life. They need our help and coopera- ton. What you give to the poor the infirm, and the orphan, you give to God. He rewards every gift, even the cup of cold water. It is in Ills Name that we appeal to your faith and charity. Now there remain Faith, Hope and Charity; these three; but the greatest of these is Charity" The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. May charity be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen"
