Address Given On
 Liturgical Music
Features Explained By Father Denehy, Guest of
 Waterbury Council of Catholic Women

connotes in the music and in the prescribed prayer and devotion for Catholic worship.
 Part of Text
 The music of the church, he ex- plained, is not something added to the ritual or something for enter tainment, but it forms a part of the text. In explaining the origin of music in the church the speaker said that masses were originally all high, the priests and the congrega- tionS taking part. He mentioned in brief the abuses that crept into church music and which still exist where music that forms no part of the service and music of a secular nature is adapted for church serv- ices. The type of music as outlined by Pope Plus X at the beginning of the twentieth century and which now is or should be in use is, Father Denehy said, early Gregorian, medieval polyphonic, and modern sacred music. The last named must adhere to certain religious and musical standards, and any organist or church head not acquainted with the type prescribed has access to a white list where modern sacred music compositions are listed, and which are of suitability for the par ticular service.
 Illustrations
 fIay noyn6ty ilI,,c cf,.of fo<I I,;e foI Ir with a few records of several types of liturgical music, in which the simple Gregorian, a more elaborate type of Gregorian, and a polyphonic type of composition were presented. Among these were records of music by the Benedictine monks at Solesmes in France. another selec- tion. credo sung by a women's chorus from the Plus x Liturgical school in New York city. Father Denehy answered questions follow ing his talk. So impressed were those present by his clear recital of his subject that Father Cryne ex- tended Father Denehy an invitation to return at later date to Water bury for a public lecture to which would be invited organists, clergy and choirs throughout the city.
 Membership
 Previous to Father Denehy'S talk Miss Kathryn Hayes, chairman of the council, announced that the an- nual drive for membership will start next week with announcement made in all the churches presently. An other feature of last nights meeting was the announcement of the start ing ill this city of the Catholic Youth movement. Miss Green, off, cial worker from Hartford. ad- dressed the gathering and explained it's aims. She will be in this city for the month of April organizing groups in each parish.

NO ALIENS IN
 C. N. 6. J NITS
General Ladd Believes Connecticut Guardsmen
 lOOf5 American

Fact that the New York national guard personnel is being scrutinized to determine if there are aliens in the organization has no meaning in Connecticut, according to word from Brig Gen William F. Ladd, ad- jutant general. The officer said he believes it is quite certain that there are no aliens in the states national guard.
 Inasmuch as special act of con- greSs in November. last year, for bade the payment of any but citi- zen for service in the guard or the naval militia. Governor Herbert H. Lehman of New York, has ordered the aliens weeded out of these de- partments of state service.
 The Connecticut adjutant gen. eral said he was not aware of the New York governors reasons for the move but added that whatever the conditions which prompted this action, similar conditions do not ap- ply here. He said it would take some time to check the record of every man enlisted in the Connecti- cut national guard and that he had no reason to believe that any were fraudulently enlisted.
