 Challenge
 But the speaker reminded his audience that though these chal- lenges were many and serious that we have every reason to hope for a better day. The honest toll and en- frightened view of the great majority of our people can successfully con- bat all of these challenges. AS ex- ampleS of hopeful signs in the pres ent era, he pointed to the magnifi- cent charitableness of the Ameri- can people in flood and other ca tastrophes, the success of many worthy while books and movies and the cooperation which exists be- tween the great majority of Ameri- cans. With some heroic examples and some of pathos, he spoke of the heritage which came from the faith, the lives of the apostles and mar tyrs, down to the immigrant parents and grandparents of people present. Their faith and courage in difficult ties would forbid defeat and guaran- tee of victory over the challenge Of our era.

same type of mind maxes its appeal to little children through tales of terror that shock them. Only the other day, a United States Senator advocated censorship over the radio because broadcasting has been brok- en down by the air racketeers and stated that we need to lock the air channels against them as we lock the fences and doors of our homes against highWaymen and racketeers.
 "The whole picture would not be told if we fail to speak about the bright spots, the fine music and the educational features which consume many hours.
 Freedom of Press
 If by chance we turn off the radio and look into the ordinary American home, we see millions of Americans taking all their informa- tion from the daily newspapers. In America we have been particularly Watchful. for the freedom of the press has been regarded historically as a great safeguard of liberty and powerful means of general educa- tion. And what do we see in the or dinary newspaper? We see some glaring sensational headlines, prob ably murder or two, lewd divorce details luridly written, and the par ade of feminine figures which, as one commentator said, are as low if not lower than the condemned post | card of earlier days
 "The press, of course, does much for education. It has a great power of propaganda, but it needs a thor ough cleanup in the matter of liv- ing up to its mission in a great re- public. The press may, with Sancti- monious expression, proclaim the greatness of the press in terms of constitutional history, guardianship of liberty and the rights of untram- meled publication. But the fact Is that too many of our newspapers chose the proper liberty of the press with an eye too often on circulation rather than their mission, and bold ly make this liberty the pretext for a license to publish and picture the sensational and filthy"
 Decency
 In the challenge to decency which arise from abuses by the movie, radio and newspapers, Father White concluded that the forces of indenc- ency dare to go lower in just the proportion that decent people be- come too lazy or indifferent or cow ardly to rise up together and unite in striking down these current chal' lenges of indecency.
 Speaking of the present recession problems and the distress and feel ing between capital and labor, Dear White pointed out that American Capital and American Labor ca stab each other to death. And it is serious question whether the mid dle class won't be caught in between them, powerless to prevent such g fatality.

In responding Father O'Shea paid honor to Waterbury saying he deemed it great privilege to be here"
 Father Cronan also announced for the first time to the public plans of Sheridan council to hold a Cath olic day in this city early in June. This event will be held in honor of the Tooth anniversary of Cath olicity in Waterbury. It will be mark ed by open-air benediction in local park, the first to be held in Waterbury in 25 years.

the modern-day contributions of the Knights of Columbus and urged T fuller participation in the order by Catholic men of this city.
 As specific contributions he point ed out here in Connecticut the $25,- 900 donation of the state council, made up of the contributions of every l council in the state. to Bishop Mo- Auliffe for St. Thomas Seminary and a like donation for the ex- panSion of St. Joseph College in West Hartford.
 Nationally he referred to the force that the K. of c. had proved in fighting the parochial school law in Oregon some years ago; its unrelent- ing fight against communism; its lnsistence on attention to religious persecution below the Rio Grande Only whole-hearted support by Catholic men can continue to make the order the wholesome force it has been, the state deputy asserted, pointing out there was need in Wa terbury of support for such fine work as Sheridan council was doing. Entertainment
 Entertainment during the evening was nicely provided by the Women's String Ensemble, under the direc- tim of Mrs. Robert F. Birt. and Will liam O'Brien, popular local tenor.
 During his stay in Waterbury, Dr. White was the guest of the Rev. John Dial, assistant pastor of the | Sacred Heart church, clasSmate of pr. White at the Sulpician Seminary ln Washington, D. c. Dr. White re- malned ln Waterbury overnight and motored to Bridgeport this morning where he was to entrain for Wash ington, D. c.
 In his address last evening, Dr. White, in part, remarked as follows:
 Let me congratulate the Knights of Columbus upon their sponsorship or this fine banquet in the interests Of Catholic Action. America owes you debt of gratitude for your sol- i'd patriotism and your friendly gen. erosity to all men in the stress of the World war and for your contin- ued generosity in the time of peace in seeing men through" who were victims of that war. Your fraternal friendship the thoughtful visit tc the sick room, the quiet charity o1 the Christmas basket, the consol- ing comradeship in the presence oi death, and prayers for the deceased give real evidence of your endur- ing belief in God and his plan o1 life for men. And this becomes more important in a day that dwells toe much on money and pleasure as the chief ends of life in a dizzy ano complicated era of so-called civiliza- tion.

Challenges of Modern
 Life Ably Described
 In Brilliant Address
Rev. Dr. White, Dean of Catholic University Law School, Chief Speaker at K. of C. Catholic Action
 Dinner - World War Hero Escorted

Citing a formidable list of mod- .rn-day challenges to the Catholic man and woman, the Rev. Dr. Rob- ert J. White, dean of the Catholc University Law School last night recommended return to the simpler family life that once prevailed in this nation as a cure-all for our moral ills. Dr. White was the main speaker at the fifth annual Catholic Action banquet of Sheridan council, No. 24, Knights of Columbus, held in the Hotel Elton last night.
 The radio, movies and newspapers were criticized for the unwholesome influences that many of them bring into our homes today. No longer is there such a thing as privacy of the home, Dr. White declared. It has been successfully invaded by the IT, 100000 radio sets that now blare forth, in between their fine mu- sical and educational features, low comedy and sensational thrillers, whose effect on childish minds and imaginations has produced a new type of mental disease.
 License For Liberty
 Catering to the cash-register was blamed for the sex-appeal of the press of the nation, particularly the tabloid side, as Dean White pointed out that liberty of the press had been seized upon as an excuse for license.
 From birth-control we have moved to mercy killings, Father White said, and continued along this vein to call attention to the recent action of New York state in setting up along side of Mothers day and Fathers day and dependence day social hygiene day" dedicated to disease which can only prove that this na- - tion has fallen prey to the sins of the flesh.
 American capital and labor came in for their share of criticism and praise from the speaker. each being accused of overlooking it's core spending duties. Those who would understand the Catholic church's po- sition in disputes arising between labor and capital were urged to seek = hA IA4S ClASy SllSdLo O1 1OpcS LSO XII and Plus XI.
 q bit of homely advice was dis pcJlsed by Father White when he urged his listeners to consider a return to the days when life in the real American home centered around the kitchen. In this single room loving fathers and mothers iLparted to their children not fear oi God and religion, but love. re- spect, honor-qualities that are too often missing in the child of to- day.
 Shaping Course
 The Knight of Columbus, Father White declared, is playing an im- portant part today as it has in its glorious past ill shaping a true course for the Catholic men and women of our country. Its solid foundation and its adherence to the simple truths of faith and its kindly but militant interest in the preserva-

And American capital and Amer ican labor can both enjoy the seem ing victory of prolonged lockouts and sit-down strikes, glaring at each other and calling each other names, and talking about past evils and class hatreds. And if they both sit long enough, the time will have passed for understanding and agree ment. And both capital and labor will see the fruits of their toll gone forever under new system of Com munism and Fascism. ..
 Faded, Forgotten
 "Our motto E pluribus unum' has apparently become faded and for gotten. Regardless of the complexity of the problems which we face, it is impossible to make one step forward until all our people capture again the ideal of a nation unified by the self-sacrifice of every group and every individual. Other nations sat as complacent and as snug as we sit today, seemingly secure in the stability of government and the steadied ways of living, but there was an awakening with bloodshed and gun fire, and the demolition of property, the killing of individuals and the lasting hates of revolution. Communism and Fascism are equal ly to be condemned from the Amer ican point of view, for whether the master is a dictator or whether the master is the mob, human liberty is lost and the dignity of the human individual is destroyed"
 Dean White recommended that all learn the teaching of the Church in her divinely appointed mission to all mankind. He pointed out the pronouncement of Popes Leo XIII and Plus XI which condemned the abusee suffered by labor at the hands of capital, who regarded work men as mere tools without any con- cern for the welfare of their souls and their legitimate hopes to inn prove the conditions of their fami- lies.
 Labor Warned
 But Catholic teaching as well has warned labor against the agitators who would raise class diScord anc break down orderly government by tempting workers with the prospect of life without labor. Catholic doc urine, Father White continued should be taught in all its phases both as to capital and to labor fol both have the duty in conscience te respect each other and to cooperate for the general good. He quoted a: an example of this teaching the pas sage, There is no one so rich as tt have no need of anyone else; no ont so poor that he cannot do his neigh bour some good turn; it is human nature that we should confidently apply for and charitably give assist ance to one another. So justice ane charity mutually conjoirfed, accord. ing to the equal and gentle law o Christ, maintain in . wonderful way

Waterbury Savings Report Shows Fifth Largest
 Deposits in State

As regards size of deposits, the Waterbury Savings bank ranks fifth in Connecticut in the list of mutual savings banks compiled by the Na- tional Association of Mutual Savings banks and announced today. In a year which officials of the associa- tion found stationary, in terms of assets, deposits and accounts of its member banks. the Waterbury Sav- ings bank reported deposits of $35,- 585 ,893.
 Two New Haven, one Hartford and one Bridgeport banks showed larger deposits in the listing which was described by Henry R. Kinsey, pres- ident of the association, as such evi- dencing of "the will to save that in year of much uncertainty public reserves were well maintained" He added: The expected upturn
 of industry soon should be reflected
 in further additions to deposits and number of accounts"

welt, then assistant Secretary of Navy, said The Knights of Colum- bus should be just as active and continue as it did in the war If its work should stop. it would be na- tional calamity. It is needed to con- bat discontented elements. Anarchy is bred in two ways, by lack of ed- ucation and by education in un- truths. Such an organizatio as the Knights of Columbus giving true ed- ucation will strike at the roots of the true danger"
 And indeed everyone here is to be congratulated because your pres ence not only contributes to warm and genial friendship, but as well gives evidence of the strength of your faith and the solidarity of the Catholic people of this community.
 Tt seems to me that over and a. bove the friendship of such a ban quet-such a get-together offers an opportunity for us to think seriously together upon some challenge which have come to Catholics ill this changing era-that we may again set our goals with renewed deter imitation to truly live the religion we profess, and thus give example as true Catholics and patriotic Americans.
 Little Thinking
 Tt is strange phenomenon that American people spend more time and more money for reading matter than any people in the world And ] yet it has been said, with some de- gree of accuracy, that the Americans do very little real thinking in regard to this vast information which they receive from newspapers, magazines and the radio. For we are a people who spend busy lives and crowded hourS,-off t. work, a hurried lunch back to work and an evening spent in newspaper or magazine reading movies or the radio. Shall we try tc piece together few parts of this jigsaw puzzle and the challenges which face us tonight? Let us take for instance, the way the worlc crowds into your home via radio Father White pointed out that families no longer have the privacy of their homes for the world crowds in by means of the radio, the news. papers. magazines and influence O. the movie. He said, "The violent ano angry protest of the American people against the crude and irrev. erent Mae West episode few weeks ago was a credit to the decen standards of the American people The problem of entertainment ovel the radio presents similar factor to the problems which arise in con nection with the movies, the maga' zines and particularly the tabloi, i press. Unfortunately there are som, J entertainers who think that the es sence of wit is just over the border 1 line of decency and that to be funh. one, must appea. to the gross sense j. of mankind, particularly to sex.
