much to sweep back the waves of atheism and indifferentism which seem about to engulf the world. It is work worthy of many sac- rifices.
 The purpose Of the Holy Name society is promoting respect for the Holy Name of Jesus and keep ing clear in the hearts and minds and souls of men the purpose for which Christ became our Redeem CT. It is an organization founded over seven Hundred and fifty years ago, which has spread throughout the world, numbering in the United States alone millions of men-a Catholic legion striving to live faithful to Christ and to bring others to Christ.
 The Holy Name Society of our parish is attempting to fulfill that slogan of the Holy Name Society Every man, a Holy Name man. l" To attain this objective we are sending this letter to every man of the parish eligible for the Holy Name Society. The true Catholic spirit and interest in the Church always evidence by the men of the parish, we know will be reflected in a splendid re- sponse. The Society has recently acquired new clubroons which will be officially dedicated on December 18th and the facilities of which we can now offer to all the men of the parish. The club rooms will be available every eve- ming and every Sunday and holi- day; all the men are welcome.
 With this letter we are enclos- ing a membership card and an application for membership. On the roster of the society we have the names of many men who were formerly members of the so- ciety, but who for sometime now have taken no active part in the society. Accordingly we ask all those who are members of the society to fill out the membership card and those who wish to join fill out the application for mem bership. The dues of the society is one dollar annually. Paid up members will receive their cards officially paid up and filled out.
 We ask all men, members or those to be enrolled, to bring their cards to the next regular meet ing of the society which is to be held in the new clubrooms on the evening of December 9th. For those who cannot attend we are enclosing an addressed envelope in which the application or the membership card may be mailed before the evening of December 9th. To be considered in good standing member is expected to receive communion with the so- ciety on the quarterly Communion Sunday, pay the annual dues and attend the regular monthly meet ings of the society as often as possible. A new list of members will be drawn up from the cards and applications returned. Those who do not reply will not be list ed. The formal enrolment of all men who have never been en- rolled in the Holy Name Society will take place in the Church at 3:30 o'clock on Sunday January 9th, the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus.
 Sincerely in Our Lord,
 REV. JOSEPH F. DONNELLY

co is to be highly praised for such effects as he has attained with his orchestra. Noted were firmness of attack, smooth playing and an ap- preciation of the texts offered in the various numbers.
 It was pleasure to hear last night Handel's Concerto Crosse No. 10 in G Minor, with oboe solo by Alfred Laubin, a young musician from Hartford, who gave 8 nice reading of this composition, and who was adequately sustained throughout the Grave, Allegro, Lar go and Allegro movements by the orchestra. Nice tonal balance and Snloothness in pianissimo passages were achieved in the opening Pre- ludio" by Pergolesi Westerhout. From this the orchestra proceeded to the melodious and happy music of "Figaro's Wedding" by Mozart, the first half of the program con- cluding with Schubert's "Unfin- ished" Symphony. Here the or chestra again showed appreciation in the two movements, Allegro mo- derato and Andante con moto. The lovely familiar themes emerged with effect and at the conclusion of this number the orchestra and conductor received tremendous ap- plauSe.
 Four varying compositions, all nicely executed comprised the last half of MT. DiCecco's well balanced program. In Strauss Die Fielder maus" he brought forth no little brilliancy in these captivating waltzes, his musicians playing with intelligence and style, as they did in the dramatic and 4, stirring triumphant Entry of thet Bojars. Urico Rossi, concertmaster and first violinist, was heard to very great advantage in the incidental sole work of the orchestral arrangement of KreiSleris Caprice Viennois.' 3 Here Miss Alice Gibson was Satis- flying in the piano portions. Eu- gene Damsker also capably presid- ed at the piano during part of the program, and Betty Mink was at the harp in the final number of the program Dance of the Hours" by Ponchielli. Applause was so prolonged at the close of the pro- gram that MT. Di Cecco offered, if his audience liked, to repeat Hal vorsen,s "BojarS." They liked. The directors choice of program num- bers was a most agreeable one, and 1t was gratifying to listen to and enjoy a program where nothing was attempted that was not achieved with happy results.
 Much can be expected in the two following concerts by The Civic Orchestra after listening to last nights performance. February Is and April 19 are the dates selected for the other two of the series.

The Civic Orchestra of Water bury last night lived up to a repu- tation established last spring when they gave their initial concert ;n this city. Once again Mario Di Geo. co, a local instructor and conductor of musicianly feeling and attain ments, directed the group of anna teur musicians who have adopted orchestral work for their avocation. The entire orchestra playing as a whole reflects the individual keen ness and musical perception of each player, in the string group, the brasseS, woodwinds, and timpani. Piano and harp also added consid- erably to the balance. Mir. Di Geo.

in the elaborate protective screen
thrown about the person OF
F. D. R. The Secret Service is
trying to close those gaps now.
The harmless screwball Hook
aday, whose life probably was
saved when Secret Service men
recognized him as a familiar
Washington pest, would never
have been able to break from the
curb and dash to the Presidents
car in New York, Chicago or any
of the great cities where police
are schooled to "face the crowd,
keep your back to the procession
and don't try to sneak look at
the President when he's pass
ing"
DUT it's second nature for the
- Regular Army and the Ma
tional Guardsmen to face their
Commander-in-C Chief, come to
attention and salute as the
President and the colors flash
by. There are times when they
attempt to combine this mill
tary etiquette with common
sense police precaution. This
results in a military salute,
quick about-face and a fast re-
turn to "face the crowd"
A soldier was doing all these
things and also sneaking a look
at F. D. R. when Hockaday
darted under his arm.
Tom Qualters, the old Notre
Dame football player, now the
Presidents bodyguard. never did
any faster broken field running
than when he jumped from the
running board of F. D. RS car,
flattened Hockaday with one
punch, spun on his heel and re
turned to his post on the rum
ming board of the moving car
before it had travelled 80 yards.
Hockaday has been known in
Washington for his peculiar de-
sire to toss feathers at notables.
The last official to be surprised
with a handful Of Hockaday's
feathers was Secretary Of War
Harry Woodring.
When the President and Quail
ters returned to F. D. RS pri-
vate car, Roosevelt demanded to
know all The details of the Hook
aday episode. F. D. R. recalled
Hockaday's Washington adven-
lures. Qualters slipped off his
sweat-drenched jacket for few
moments, washed up and went
to the dining car. At the end of
the meal he puf his hand in his
coat pocket for a cigarette,
