 Most Attractive Stage, Screen Show of Year at Loew-PolIs to Make Christmas Cheer Possible Thousands of Children to Attend Annual Party.

It's the annual par ty for children held by The Dem ocrat, in cooperation with the Loew-Poli theater and the Wa terbury lodge of Elks.
 No boy or girl need bring any money to see this great show-all he or she has to bring is an arti- cle of food. It may be can of vegetables or fruit, it may be 8 bag of apples or oranges, or per- haps some potatoes or turnips- whatever the food article may be it will go into a Christmas basket for some needy family. These overflowing baskets of Christmas goodies will be distributed Satur- day afternoon or night.

Catholics Asked to Donate to Help Lepers of
 the World

The Society for the Propagation of the Faith, through its no diocesan offices in the United States, has just launched its annual appeal in behalf of the lepers of the entire world. Three million of these out casts of humanity are located in va- rious parts of Japan, China, India, In6o-C China, the islands of Oceania, Africa, with many on our own Vest ern Hemisphere. Thousands of these unfortunates have learned to regard the Catholic Mission Leper Asylum as the gateway to heaven = a heaven of cleanliness, proper food and scientific treatment on earth, and, in many instances, a prepara- tion for an eternity of bliss in the world to come.
 It is to be hoped that the same generous response, which has char acterized the American people to- ward every truly worthwhile appeal, will be shown toward this deserving cause. Donations may be sent to the national office of The Society for the Propagation of the Faith, O9 East 38th street, New York, N. r., or any one of the 10 diocesan of fees located in the principal cities of the United States.

Lima, Peru, Dec. 22-(UP)-The presidents of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay were reported today to have entered into an eleventh hour telegraphic exchange of views in an effort to salvage a unanimous dec laration of American solidarity from the deadlock between Argentina and the United States at the eighth Pan-American conference.
 The Argentine delegation, as a result of the United States effort to go further than first expected, was forced to seek new instructions were unfavorable to the proposed draft of the solidarity declaration and the principal conference dele- gations were forced again this morning to resume negotiations for a compromise.
 In this situation, Ortiz was un- derstood to have telegraphed to President Getulio Vargas of Brazil, and to President Alfredo Baldomir Of Uruguay, explaining the Argen- tine viewpoint in regard to the declaration proposed at Lima.
 Vargas and Baldomir were said to have replied to his message and a general exchange of viewpoints which may affect the conference deliberations resulted. Meanwhile, the delegation leaders at Lima con- tinued their personal negotiations on 8 compromise.
