 Most An1azing Recouery
American Red Cross Chairman Pays Tribute to Courage, Determination, Efficiency of Various
 States - Effects of Storm Checked.

made a blessing in disguise" he stated. "The Red Cross has found this to be true in many of our past major catastrophes. San Francisco emerged from her 1906 fire a more beautiful city. Chicago and Baltimore also have risen from their disastrous fires more beautiful than before. Floods of the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys have taught us the need of pre- cautionary erosion control.
 Federal funds are doing much to restore public property in the affected municipalities. Storm
 sufferers with financial resources are going about the task of their own rehabilitation with the cour- age and self-reliance characteris- tic of New England's best tradi- tions. Red Cross funds given sym- pathetically by the entire nation are being spent for those who could never resume their normal mode of living.
 During my trip through the storm area, was deeply inn pressed with the courage and self reliance evident everywhere, and particularly among those who suf- fered the most. Roof damage has been repaired by home owner af- ter home owner. Tree removal has progressed with astounding speed. Public utilities have brought crews as far as the Middle West to re- store speedily important public services.
 Farmer Has Helped Farmer
 Farmer has helped farmer. Fishermen have banded together to raise sunken boats. This spirit of recovery through self-reliant action is an encouraging note to America when Europe and Asia are troubled with war.
 "Wind damage in interior points has dealt most severly with farm buildings such as tobacco sheds, barns and poultry build ings. We find that 1869 barns were leveled, their timbers splin- tered beyond the hope of most frugal salvage. Repairs have been necessary for 6,036 buildings which were to house livestock, poultry, feed and produce in the Winter months ahead. The lives of All work animals were lost. Likewise are gone 1,091 cattle, 189 hogs and the distressing number of 277,076 poultry"
 Completed records reveal that 1,754 injured persons received hos pitaliZation.
 The cost of bringing Red Cross assistance to New England's fami- lies has been placed between $1,- 250,000 and $1,500,000, according to MT. Davis.

 of this number" MT. Davis said, in a statement to the New York Times "the Red Cross has determined that some 56,000 fam flies suffered serious losses. Our organization is principally in- volved with the rehabilitation of approximately 1900 families nearly 80,000 persons-who are financially unable to bear the burden of cleaning up and mak- ing repairs. With funds raised throughout the nation, houses are being rebuilt and repaired, essential clothing is being re- placed and necessary household goods are being purchased"
 Occupational rehabilitation for coastal fishermen who lost their boats and gear was proving to be one of the most extensive pro- grams of its type ever undertaken by the Red Cross, MT. Davis stated.
 2,6O5 Craft Lost
 According to our reports, B. 605 fishing craft were totally des- troyed and 3,369 were seriously damaged. In replacing and re- pairing the boats of those who are without financial resources or sound borrowing credit, it is the aim of the Red Cross to en- able families of the fishing com- munities to resume their means of livelihood enjoyed before the storm.
 "Along the Connecticut coast, Long Island Sound, further over to Martha's Vineyard and Narra- gansett Bay boats were driven far inland, their hulls battered and laid open. With the boats went fishing equipment, including nets, tackle, lobster pots -- even work clothing.
 .'Wing and water totally des- troyed 8,924 homes in the five af- fected states. Our workers have counted 50,810 houses damaged in varying degrees by falling trees and water, as well as those which could not withstand the wind and were unroofed or rocked from their foundations"
 MT. Davis is supervising relief work for the first major disaster since his appointment last April to the Red Cross chairmanship after serving as United States Ambassador at large. Declaring that New England '.would never forget the loss of the 682 lives" he said that he held high hopes for that sections recuperatiye powers.

tion on part of many prominent Waterbury citizens.
 Waterbury has never had the op- portunity to welcome and pay re- spects to three native sons who have been consecrated bishops at one and the same time before. This makes the testimonial to Bishop Brady whose conservation last, month at Burlington was attended by many local residents and friends from all over the state a most unusual event and one that will be long remem- bered.
 In addition to clergy from Water bury and nearby towns, 1t is expect ed that the entire diocese will be well represented. A large delegation from St. Rita's parish in Hamden, where Bishop Brady was stationed immediately before his consecration, also plans to attend the banquet.
 In an effort to complete all plans for the banquet during the coming week and to make the Bishop Brady testimonial an outstanding Catholic affair Father Cronan has called his several committees into session for numerous sessions. The first of these will be held Monday night at the Columbus club.
 Many, organizations throughout the city, particularly church groups, are planning reservations for their membership. A large delegation from the American Legion also ex- poets to be present in full dress uniform.

FAIRNESS LAUDED
 IN RABBITS TALK
Beth-El Head Praises U. s. for Protest of Jews
 Persecution

Thank God for America" the title of a talk last night by Rabbi William P. Greenfield at Beth-El synagog, bore out the theme of a tribute to Americans for protest against the persecution of Jews in Europe. The rabbi said that it is gratifying to us, not as Jews, but as Americans to know that not only civic and political leaders but also tn emasSes have raised their voices against intolerance and bi- gotry."
 He spoke of the sense of justice and fairness in this country as compared with the barbarian and "inhumanity of man to man. abroad. America today is showing the same spirit of helpfulness that was true when the Pilgrims came to this country later suffering per- Secution, he said.
 A special service for Jewish dead will be held at II o'clock tomor- row at the synagog when Abraham Kramer will chant from the Book of lamentations. About 400 are expected to attend the services to which the Jewish community is in vited.
