really mas a message worth deliv-
ering and I think it is asking too
much to expect him to receive his
inspiration at the same hour of
the same day every week.
This dashing to church is a
nan-made custom, pure and sim
ple- especially simple. The Bible
emphasizes the Sabbath Is the day
of rest. Rest? Most people need
an extra day to rest up from the
Sabbath How restful Is It to rise
as early as on week days, rush
through breakfast and the neces-
sary household tasks in order to
hasten to church on time? Some
ministers actually expect people to
go to two or three different ser
vices on Sunday
Then, too, Sunday is usually the
only day the entire family can be
together. Should it then be con-
sidered impious t. enjoy a leisure
ly, family breakfast or, the wealth
er permitting, to drive out some
where and refresh mind and body
in the Cod-given fresh air and
sunshine7
Could you not remember thy
Creator" and would you not per-
haps feel better disposed towards
Him, while you are admiring and
benefiting from the works of His
hands-th sea. the mountain, the
trees and flowers even better
than when cooped up in church
under the circumstances have
already named? Christ Himself
said. Man was not made for the
Sabbath, the Sabbath was made
for Man" Est Mark 2:27).
Breaking up the Christian
chulcn into so many denominations
has made church-goers. as a rule,
narrow-minded and intolerapt.
Christ thought the main idea,
which was serving God, was get
ting lost under the dogma and ri
tual of the established churches of
that time, and He preached a new
religion so simple and easy that a
child can understand do unto
others as We would that they
should do unto you"
Today instead Of training the
child's conscience and then letting
his conscience be bis guide, each
denomination has it's own favor
lite ''Thou shalt Dot's' and those
who overstep are jeopardizing
their immortal souls. And it is a
sin in most denominations to play
cards and dance, punishable by
having your name withdrawn from
the membership roll. 1t is COM
mon knowledge that hundreds Of
church members in good standing
indulge in those pastimes and the
church conveniently looks the 9TH
er way.
SO I feel If I teach my family to
follow the dictates of their own
consciences and do as much good
as possible, and to do no inten-
tional harm, that we are truly do
ing more than those who don their
Christianity like garment every
Sunday making them feel stiff and
uncomfortable because they use it
so seldom.

 Boston, March 12.--(UP)--Letting the sports chips fall where they may: (A1te up).
 Red Box bosses offer somewhat divergent answers when asked about the efforts of Earl Averill, Cleve- lands holdout centerfielder, to sell his services to the Sox.
 From Sarasota, Fla, Field Man ager Joe Cronin is quoted rather elnphatically as saying the Sox are mot interested" After tele- phone conversation with Owner Tom Yawkey, Joe reportedly assert cd there would be no attempt to do business with the Cleveland ace. :. which would indicate Yawkey also isn't interested.
 But here in Boston, General Man. ager Eddie Collins remarked Q bit hesitantly: Tin not saying whether wed be interested in Averill or moi" Then he went on to explain that the Sox had no player to offer in exchange for Averill that Cleve- land would be interested in. |. Coincidentally, Boston's own cen- terfielder, Doc Cramer, also is a holdout. If both Averill and Cramer persist In their holdout de- rnands, it's possible that something interesting might develop.

Johnny Green, noted young conn., poser conductor, ridicules the con- tention that composing music is de- pendent to a great extent upon the mood of the composer. On the con- trary, Johnny feels that, like suc- cess in most fields, 1t is Q matter of hard work and conscientious ef- fort. To support his viewpoint, the youthful composer aspires to turn out no less than six song hits dur. ing the next 12 months.

WATR Ramblings
BY JIMMIE PARKER

Another stellar lineup of ju- venile stars will entertain Wa terbury listeners tomorrow morn ing at 10 o'clock when the week. ly Home Pride Riddle Revue takes the air. Not theleast among these is Marjorie Doolittle, 12-year old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Fitch Doolittle of Platts Mills, who will be heard in another of her clever speciality dances. Marjorie has been regular performer on the kiddie show for over two years. She has mastered several routines and is, without doubt, one of the best juvenile dancers in Water bury. Marjorie is an attractive young lady with blond hair and Q million dollar personality. We expect big things from her in years to come.
 Two of Waterbury's favoritc solo artists will be heard in their reg ular Friday broadcasts over WATR tonight. Barbara, who presents her Piano Portraits at 6:45, will feature several new hits as well as an older melody or two. Carl Copeland, acc0rdian artist, also has an interesting quarter hour in store for dialers at 7:l5.
 Capt. Don Wilkie, formerly of the secret service, is scheduled for another interesting discussion of case histories tonight at 7:30, over WATR. This quarter hour should prove especially interesting to the young lads of Waterbury. Capt. Wilkie has led an exciting life and he has the knack of telling his ex- periences in way which holds the attention every minute.
 This department extends con- gratulatiOns to the Waterbury Council of Girl Scouts. The or ganization celebrates its 18th an- niversary today. The local division does a grand job and deserves every word of praise which has been showered upon it. May the Girl Scouts see many more anni- versaries.
 Word reaches my desk that the Ave Maria Players, heard over WMCA-WATR each Sunday night at 6:30, will do special broadcast next Wednesday, St. Patrick'S Day. Of course, it goes without saying that the group will dramatize the life of the Irish Patron Saint, to whose memory the day Is dedi- cated. The half hour program IS on the air from l:l5 to l:45. Inci- dentally, because of this special program the broadcast by the W. P. A. Band of Waterbury will be heard from l2:45 until l:i5. in- stead of the 100 to l:30 time. We'll remind you of that again next Tuesday.

and thereby you win elections. That
is an old belief. But I insist it is in

Reform Neeled.
II the Republican party has not
learned the lesson that 1t must produce
principles and program besides being
against and Joy riding on mistakes #
has not read history.
You do not long hold the goal and
devotion of men and women without
definite purpose and principle. The
Whig party tried all that.
There is talk of fusion and coalition.
Let me make but one remark on that.
1t is result devoutly to be wished for.
But the people fuse or coalesce around
ideas and ideals, not around political
bargains and stratagems. II the Re-
publican party meets the needs and
aspirations of the people who are
opposed to the New Deal, they will
fuse and coalesce and not before.
They only join in the march if they
know where we are going.
And again return to my opening
There is a mighty service TO be per-
formed This party must make the
humanitarian objectives of the Nation
possible which are otherwise wrecked
by wrongful and ineffective methods.
1t must reform destructive economic
policies which undermine the stand
ards of living of the economic middle
class and thus all the people. 1t must
emancipate the people from this creep
ing collectivism and restore true lib
eralism. 1t must emancipate them
from the moral degeneration in gov
ernment. The interest of the Nation
requires that the Republican party
shall provide the country with positive
and affirmative principles and pro-
posals that will meet these yearnings
of the people today for way out and
forward. 1t is gigantic task. But
should we not make a beginning?
That is task in which you must
join.
You have the blood and the urge Of
your American forebears. You are as
| good stuff as they. You are better
trained and equipped than they were.
I have no doubt of your character and
your resolution.
