NEW ENCLANDCCC
 PLAN OPEN HOUSE
Fifth Birthday to Be Ob= served Tuesday-Organ=
 ized in 1883

The Civilian Conservation, Corps will be five year old next Tuesday and this anniversary will be observ- ed during the week of March 3l, to April 5th. The Commanding Gen. eral, First Corps Area, announced that this birthday anniversary will be celebrated by "open house" in all CCC camps in New England.
 Throughout the entire nation a similar observance will mark the birthday of the eco. In Washing ton, the director, Evergency Con- servation work, Robert E. Fechner will attend the annual CCC birth day dinner, held annually on April 5th, in Washington, D. c.
 The history of the CCC goes back to April 5th, 1883, when the President of the United States issued execu- tive orders to set-up the nucleus of the organization. The establish ment of 1t came about to take care of hundreds of thousands of young men who were of employable age, full of ambition and idealism, yet denied an opportunity of economic pursuit.
 The Departments of War, Labor, Agriculture and Interior were as- signed the task of launching pro- gram to carry on works of a public nature in land, belonging to the United States and the individual states to prevent floods and soil erosion, forest fires, plant pests, and the construction, repair of mainten- ance of paths and trials and other incidental work.
 In some of these eco camps one will find a company composed ot World War Veterans. Each member of the corps received an allowance of thirty dollars per month, clothes, excellent food and comfortable shel- ter. Enrolment are for six months period and out of the allotment the enrollee must send his family twen- ty-five dollars per month.

RIVER HEARING
 SLATED TUESDAY

Washington, D. C., March 31-War department enginee. have notified Senator Lonergan (D) Conn, that a hearing will be held on April fifth in Washington, on the proposed improvement of the Mianus river in Connecticut.
 The hearing will be on an appeal from 8 decision of the division en- gineer in New York that the pros- pective benefit from improvement of the river for commercial vessels does not warrant the expenditure in- volved. The division engineer further found that the benefits derivable from improvement of Cos Cob har- bor for harborage of pleasure craft, would be small and too largely local to warrant federal expenditure therefor.
 Senator Lonergan said that differ ent parties in Cos Cob had been mo- tified and would probably appear at the hearings.

TRAFFIC CONTROL
 CODE FORMULATED

Hartford, Conn, March 31.-(UP) The state traffic commission has completed a uniform code for Con- necticut traffic control and will sub init 1t soon for approval of the State Association of Police Chiefs, 1t was reported today.
 Drafting of the code, which would be effective on all streets and high ways in the state, was authorized by the 1897 general assembly.
 It marks the first attempt in Con- necticut's history to make uniform all traffic lights, signs, markings and traffic islands.
 The commission noted many fea- lures of present traffic control were not in conformity with the proposed code and added:
 "A large part of it can be brought to substantial conformity without excessive cost. Whenever new equip ment is purchased or replacements are made because of the need of re- pairs or because of obsoleScence, strict adherence to the standards herein should govern the selection"
 Among other things, the code call ed for a reduction in the number of traffic signs.

RELIGIOUS FAITH
 MAY BE STRONGER
Rev. Dr. Walker Believes It Will Be More Evident
 In Next Decade

we look out upon our world to- day with deeply troubled, almost de- spairing hearts," said Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, pastor of the Second Congregational church in his ser- mon Long Live the King, yester- day morning.
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 At times 1t seems as if there is nothing we can read anywhere in current comment that that can give
 us much hope. "The King Is Deadl" We sigh for the days of Queen Vic- toria, for the days before the great war, when it seemed as if we had an ordered world, sane world, when it seemed that reason and jus tice and democracy would steadily and inevitably increase their sway. Some years ago Mahatma Gandhi spoke of "the Santaic character of European civilization" When I first heard that statement I felt as if you should make a considerable al- lowance for exaggeration. Events these last two or three years and more particularly these last few weeks, have made no wonder if we may not have to accept this state ment at its face value. If we are to judge Europe by Germany, the dominent Continental power, if we are to judge that nation by the pro- fessed aims and official acts of its representative men, are tbese bar barians, these organized cruelties, those systematic terrors other than satanic? The inquisition is with us again, only this time political brigandage instead of religious big otry lies at the root of this evil thing. Who could have believed a few years ago that we should have to turn back the hands of the clock of time to the Middle Ages, to the inquisition in Spain, to find paral- lels for Nazi terror?
 Now in times like the present, we can either eat, drink and be merry and let tomorrow take care of it. self or we can brood upon the will, the majesty, the justice of God as Isaiah did in the days of old. That story in the sixth chapter of the Book of Isaiah is the classic passage in the Old Testament as regards mans vision of God. That vision came in a dark day and hour. It came, not in the year of favor, not when the south winds of peace and prosperity blow softly across the land, but "in the year that Uzziah died"
 Whatever else we may think about the future, we need not despair of faith in these days. I for one sus- pect that there is more of sincere and intelligent religious faith in Russia and Germany today than there was before the great war and these political upheavals that have followed in its train. It may be true, I think it will be true, that religious faith, sound, sincere, Sacrificial faith will be more in evidence in the next decade than it was in the last. We preachers often speak about being thrown back upon God but to whom other than Gods gra- cious mercy and protection can Sin- cere, Jews and Christians look in SO many lands east and west to- day? Out of the agonies of these years we may hope and believe will come greater and nobler visions of the External God. God is not dead! He has not abdicated! His justice and His judgments will yet be re- vealed.
