Dutch Elm Disease
 Spreads In State
Six More Communities Added to Infected Areas; Re-
 cent Hurricane Adds to Importance of Project

New cases of Dutch elm disease found in Connecticut in 1888 amounted to 536, according to For ester W. O. Filley of the Agricul- tural Experiment Station at New Haven, who has just made his year. end report to Station Director w. L.. Slate. Of these 91 per cent were elms growing in Fairfield County, the original zone of infection.
 The disease appeared for the first time in Bridgeport, Danbury, Eas- ton, Newtown, North Branford and St,atford, but no new cases were discovered in the towns of Guilford and Old Lyme previously isolated centerS of infection.
 Figures Double
 MT. Filley is in charge of Dutch elm disease work for the state. De- spite the fact that the 1888 eases more than double the total number for the past five-year period, he points out several encouraging as- poets in the Connecticut situation.
 Outside ot Fairfield County the isolated infection in Old Lyme ap- pears to have been eradicated," he writes. Another isolated infection arta seems to exist in Branford, No 'th Branford and Gui'fold. Two trees were found in Branford and Gu;lf1ru in 1850 and six in Bran fcrd and North Branford in 1888. None were f0rnd in Guilford this year. Repeated scouting his failed to locate any infected trees between Branford and Stratford, or north of Danbury and the rest of the state seems to be free as yet from any trace of the disease. In New ' ork and New Jersay the disease has been found in new territory this season, but it has practically disappeared from New York city and the imme- diate vicinity.
 Tt seems evident that the next two years will be crucial ones, so far as Dutch elm disease is con- cerned. There is ample evidence that, by active and efficient effort, it can be eradicated from isolated areas such as Old Lyme and the rate of spread definitely retarded" the report states.
 Since 1883 Connecticut has CO., operated with tie federal depart ment of agriculture in efforts to control Dutch elm disease. '. ork has followed three lines: scouting for diseased trees, elm sanitation, and re- search. In 1888 all scouting was done by the federal department, which is responsible for a ten-mile zone of in-

CHRISTMAS STORY
 THEME OF PASTOR
Modern World Needs Mes= sage of Yuletide Says
 Rev. Dr. Walker

eff the modern world needed the message of the Christmas story, it needs 1t today" stated Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, pastor of the Sec- ond Congregational church in his sermon, "If There Were No Christ mas," Sunday morning.
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 If we lost our faith in God, in Christ, in the Christmas story, in the song of the angels, where would we find any hope, any faith? It's hard enough to make sense of this world with faith in God and hope in Christ, Without faith and hope, without even the dream of ideal of peace, what 9 sorry world this would bel At this season of the year we do realize I think, that it isn't Christmas and its story of good will and good cheer that is unreal, it's this troubled dream of strife and want and peril we find in our world. Take the Christmas story away, leave Christ and His way of life out of the picture, give up religion with its dreams and ideals and, I give. you my word for 1t, life isn't worth the living!
 But it is not for us to finger long, CT on this thought of What if the Christmas story had never been told than is sufficient to make us realize how drear and drab and tragic life would be without the story of Bethlehem and it's babe. The Christmas story has been told and such hope and light and peace and good will as we have in this world depends almost entirely on that story. The birth of Jesus is the high water mark of history. The old era ended there, the new era began. Every historical event is measured in terms of the hiEth of Christ. Even the Sceptic. the athe- ist, f.nds the record of Christ's birth staring up at him when he looks at his calendar. when he reads his

lection surrounding spots where dis ease has been found. These zones now include the eastern coast of the state, from New York to .Ee Rhode Island line. Scouts look for trees with visi- ble symptoms of Dutch elm disease, sample f em and send the specimens to the federal laboratory at Morris town, New Jersey, for confirmation. Tests of other specimens are also made at the Botanical laboratory at New Haven. Trees that are diseased are removed and destroyed irame- diately.
 The state, through g Experi- ment Station, has also made a study of the habits of elm bark beetles that carry the disease. Those vectors breed under the bark of dead or dying elms, and the adults, emerging from diseased bark, carry the causal fungus to a healthy tree where they go to feed.
 AS result the Station has spon- sored and supervised elm sanitation projects employing first ERA and later WPA labor, since 1885. I'he object is to remove all dead and dying elm wood that is suitable for breeding beetles, and the State Highway Department and munich pal authorities have cooperated in this work. Before the hurricane, sanitation measures had been com- pleted in 83 of the 145 towns worked in Connecticut.
 Cities Listed
 Diseased elms were found in the following towns this year:
 Branford 3, Bridgeport 6. Danbury 2, Darien6, Easton ?, Fairfield 6, Greenwich 139, Glilfoile o, New Canaan 53 Newtown 2, Nol . l Bran ford 3, Norwalk 58, Old Lyme O, Bedding 1, Ridgefield 2, Stamford 142, Stratford l, Weston z6, Vest port IS, Wilton 8. Total 536.

 Monsignor Duggan was ordained to the priesthood in May, 1892, in Boston, and has been rector of the cathedral here since May, 1905. He became vicar-general of the diocese in 1910, and in May, 1885 received one of the highest h0nOrs of the church, when the office of prOtOnOtary apOstlic was conferred on him by Pope Plus XI.

Waterville, Dec. 27.-Factories of Waterville resumed operations to- day, following a period of three days during which they were closed. Over the Christmas week end, sores were reopened and remarks everywhere were to the effect that the Christ mas observance this year was the most joyous ever.
 Special music was presented in all churches Sunday, and the attend ance at all services was unusually large. At St. Michaers church, masses were held az ', 8, g, 10, with a high mass at Il o'clock. At the Grace Methodist church, the choir joined with the choir of the Thom- aston Methodist church in present. ing a cantata etitled, "The Lords A1lointed". The musical service was held in the afternoon on. Christ mas day in Thomaston, and in the evening at the Grace Methodist church.
 Christmas tree exercises for the Sunday school pupils of the Grace Methodist church were held Thurs day evening, when gifts, fruit and candy were given out Friday even- ing, the Christmas exercises at the Waterville Union church were pre- sented, with large and interest program of recitations and Christ mas music. Last evening, St. Paufs Episcopal church Sunday school party was held, which included 8 tree and the giving out of gifts.
 One of the special features of the season was the gathering at the Waterville park Friday night when the Community tree was lighted for the first time. The w. P. A. band was present to lead singing of Christmas carols. The Casper s. Davis, American Legion Auxiliary, was in charge of the program at the park. Many chil- dren were thrilled when Santa Claus appeared and distributed gifts of fruit and candy.
 Santa Claus appeared in the Fairmount Community section and left presents at the homes of all children under the age of eight years.
 The Girl Scout Troop No. 27, un- der the leadership of Mrs. Sidney Henchel, held a Christmas party Friday afternoon in the Sprague school gymnasium. In the place of having 8 grab bag, the game of Going to Jerusalem" was played and each time the music stopped a gift was passed out. Mrs. Henchel pressnted each member of the troop with Girl Scout diary and candy. A basket was packed with food, which the girls had brought. was given to a needy family. Christ mas carols were sung and lunch served. Miss Marie Laun assisted Mrs. Henchel.

 The Pride of Welch Circle, Com panions of the Forest, will hold Christmas party this evening at 8 o'clock at Foresters' hall, on Han over street. Mrs. James Duncan is general chairlady, with Mrs. Fran ces Whalen, Mrs. Thomas Buckley and Mrs. Edward Barlow assisting. Santa Claus will be present and grab bag will be a feature of the evening.
 James P. Herbert, superintendent of the Waterville station of the Waterbury post office, reports that the Christmas mail this year has been very heavy. About the same number of pieces of parcel post mail have passed through the To- cal post office. However, the num- Der of letters and cards greatly in- creased making it necessary for sev- eral extra workers to be put on duty.
 New Bus Service
 One of the greatest surprises of the week end was the starting of the new bus service in Waterville. The route is now a continuation of the Fairlawn-Willow street service and is the long hoped for connec- tion for those who have to travel from Waterbury to Waterville daily. Some busses are operating to Fort Hill, others are making the turn around at the S-curve but the hour ly service is now a thing of the past, and over Sunday and Mon- day the busses traveled back and forth every 20 minutes, which turned out to be the very best Christmas present residents in the northern part of Waterville could receive.
