GOVernOr
 now against winter storms, and the light of that shining grace which has followed us around the year, permitting us to live In peace and human kindness above the common hope, I appoint Thurs day, the twenty fifth of Novem- Der, as Q day of public thanks giving in this state. Let us then, as our fathers used, praise the Giver of Life for the ample fruit of the earth, sweetened by sun and rain, and for the work of the laborer worthy of his hire in every task and station: For food and clothing and shelter that serve the body's need. Let us praise Him especially for the blessings which have warmed and fostered the spirit: For every brave, just, and generous deed, every impulse of brotherly love; for every counsel of wisdom and comfort, every witt ness of truth, every thought of friends who walk with us still, though lost to our sight-for all the tokens of goodness in man, which have deepened faith in our power, looking within the heart, to fix our eyes upon virtue as upon the pole star, and by 1t keep our way even to the mortal end. For these mercies, without name or number, let us rejoice and give praise"

THE BRIDE! Bishop McAuliGe's . Ban May Necessi- tate Change in
 Musical Ar
 engagements.
rangements.

The bride married in c Catho- lie church will hereafter march down the aisle with some other musical accompaniment than the strains of Mendelssohns "Wed- ding March," if the strict letter of Q recent statement by Bishop Maurice F. McAuliffe of the Hartford diocese is followed.
 But all is not lost for the bride (and for the admiring relatives and friends who have always waited for the first bars of the wedding march before turning their heads). It is believed that the ban on secular music will be interpreted so as to allow the playing of the familiar process sional.
 The bishops ban is but an enunciation of the worldwide policy of the Catholic church against the use of secular and profuse music in Catholic churches.
 Several local Catholic church organists have refused to play secular songs. One of them Is Prof. John L. Bonn, who has not used English songs during his many years at St. Margaret's church. Tn the past 26 years Prof. Bonn has declined to play secular music or allow it sung during ceremonies or mass.

ORDER IS REVERSED
ON CIVIL SERVICE
Roosevelt Restores Old
Status to Soldiers Home
Employees.

Memories Of patronage row stirred
in 1884, when President Roosevelt
stripped more than ITO employees Of
National Soldiers Home at Johnson
City, Tenn, of their civil service
status by executive order, were re-
vived yesterday when an order that
reversed this action was made public
from the White House.
The order, published in the Federal
Register, becomes effective January 1
and will restore to civil service all
johnson City employees except those
customarily exempt. These include
certain officials, attendants, kitchen
help and others for whom it Is not
feasible to maintain civil service reg
isters.
The original order was one Of two
issued by President Roosevelt by
which groups Of employees were taken
out Of civil service, therefore Afford
ing an opportunity to fill the places
through patronage. The other in
volved workers in the Bureau Of For
eign and Domestic Commerce, built
up in the Commerce Department by
Herbert Hoover.
The johnson City employees origi-
nally were brought under civil service
under an executive order by President
Hoover under authority Of legislation
combining group of agencies as
the Veterans Administration. Sup
ported by Senator McKellar, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee, it was contended
that it was designed to eliminate
political employees reputedly brought
into the home in the Republican
regime. 1t, however, was applicable
to many employees with years of serv-
ice at the home and was widely con-
demned by employe organizations and
others.
Those employees at the home brought
in under the unblanketing order of
June, 1884, may acquire civil service
status now through non-competitive
examination. provided they were at the
institution on November l. Any hold
overs who formerly were civil service
workers revert now to their original
status.
