Being a Canadian by birth
Nine. MorgenStierne first learned
to ski in Winnipeg. Her vivid
description of the way the sport
is conducted in Norway was most
fascinating. A large group goes out
for a whole day-none of this
hour or so buSineSS-and they
tramp the mountains over. The
hills, of course, are much longer
and sometimes quite a bit sleeper
than we are accustomed to.
Last year Nine. Morgenstlerne
and the Minister spent number
of week ends in the PoconoS and
Lake Placid. And they-like so
many others-are bemoanlng the
fact that we have such an in
considerate weather man.

 Supper of Father Cryne
 Support for Father Cryne's con- demnation of Father O'Flanagan is voiced in a letter received by The Democrat today iron. Harold D. Healy, of 54 Cutler street, Water town. He says he prefers to to think that the three Protestant ministers who rushed to the defense of Fath- CT O'Flanagan were deceived into this action, since their letter "ap- parently gives the blessing of the Protestant churches to Father o. Flanagan.
 MT. Healy,s letter follows: Editor
 The Waterbury Democrat
 Waterbury, Conn.
 Dear Sir:
 Tuesday of this week your papa carried an item in which was quo ted a letter from three Protestant ministers of towns near Waterbury The effect of this article was to apparently give the blessing of thd Protestant churches to Father OI Flanagan and to lend touch cI Christian altruiSm to his efforts id behalf of the so-called Spanish loyalistS. Just how these men were induced to support Father O'FlanA agan do not pretend to know bus I would prefer to think them de. ceived into this action.
 If you will permit me I would like to present one unquestionable fact pertaining to the scheduled appear ance of this man. Long before the, newspapers carried even hint of his coming speech I personally talked to gentleman, profeSScd atheist and ardent advocate of communism, Wno was at that time trying to complete arrangements for the presentation of Father O'Flan- agan.
 I would like also to refer you to the May 18th issue of The Catholic Transcript, the Hartford diocesan newspaper, which every Catholic of this diocese recognizes as his most reliable source of Catholic informa- ton. This publication on the above mentioned date carried the State- ment that Father O'Flanagan was described in The Michigan Catholic as suspended priest.
 Also that he was in. this country against permission of his superiors. When Father O'Flanagan question: -ed these statements he was chal- lenged to present his credentials to the diocesan authorities. It is inter- esting to note that as the article continues we find that Father o. Flanagan left Detroit. without nlak- ing the scheduled appearance.
 There is no question in my mind as to this priests standing. Father Cryne certainly is in a better posi- tion than a Protestant minister to leran that. There is challenge, though, would like to make in connection to this affair. Let the three gentlemen who have taken it upon themselves to defend Father OFlanagan give to the newspapers a list of the five persons who did the most to make his appearance in Waterbury possible.
 Very truly yours. HAROLD D. HEALY.
