The Berlin appeal said nothing di-
rectly regarding union of Austria and
Germany. 1t especially emphasized
NaA achievements on behalf of child
welfare and an increased birthrate
saying:
The Catholic Church has always
fought against the fear to have chill
dren and has condemned it: it there
lore has the greatest interest in all
measures for rendering the fulfillment
OF this divine commandment easier"
The Breslau appeal told parishioners
that the thesis of the Catholic Austrian

out that the present emergency must

sured the President of the co-opera-

He said the mayors feel it is the
responsibility of States and localities
TO do their share in providing aid to
tne unemployables and that they feel
that Federal funds should not be
MADE available for such direct relief.
IN This connection it was said that
there are some who would have the
Federal Government do it all, but we
do not subscribe to that viewpoint
and in this connection it should be
pointed out that cities are not only
carrying the direct relief load, but
are also making substantial contribu-

Gus effort being exemplified in
the contribution Of the class

No Superstition

 Huh means nothing to me" one man scoffed, taking a look at the date on his licenses.
 Another was not quite sure that he shouldn't have come for his license yesterday when 10 other citizens sought and obtain ed the fishing permits, presum- ably for immediate use, including today. He didn't care for the date on his license, at all.
 Whether superstition runs to fishermen has been something of a moot point through the years what with some cnglers insisting that you have to "spit on the bait" to be lucky But optimism prevailed generally among the ap- plicants for permits yesterday and today, employees at the town clerks office commented.
 And Friday the 18th apparently was not taboo as a day to go fish, ing.
