SETTLEMENT TN
 S7,OOO LAWSUIT
Catherine Sugrue, St. Francis Church Adjust
 Differences

The $7,000 suit of Catherine Su- grue against St. Francis Xavier Church Corporation pending in the court of common pleas, was settled before trial today. It was the last jury case listed for the term, and talesmen were excused from city by Judge John F. McDonough.
 Damages were claimed by the wo- man for injuries suffered in a fall on an alleged icy sidewalk in front of Xavierian Hall on Washington street. She claimed that the roof of the building was not equipped with gutters and that dripping rain had accumulated on the sidewalk and frozen. The defendant was al- legedly negligent.
 The plaintiff claimed she suffered a fracture of the arm and other in- juries in the fall.
 An an important ruling on the case few weeks, Judge cDonough held that the woman could sue the church of which she is a member. The church had set up a special defense, based on the claim that she could not, to which the plain- tiff demurred.
 Attorneys William B. Fitzgerald and Harry F. Spellman represented the plaintiff, and Bronson, Lewis, Bronson and Upson the defendant.

INJURED
REBUKED
 ON WOMEN HELP

Northampton, Mass, June 28-- (UP)-Mayor William H. Feiker has been infromed that his attempt to remove working wives from the city payroll will flower our moral stand- ards"
 Such busters would postpone mar riages of young people and cause im- proper relations, Mrs. Estelle Q. Laughlin of Gering. Neb.. vice presi- dent of the American Federation of Women, wrote the chief executive.
 'srhe whole idea is eugenically, sociologically and financially un- sound" she said. If men and home women listen to such Pied Pipers as you then God help us all. You urge women to stay home and raise habies-don't you know that thousands of women are raising families and working to supplement the family income?"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-28

in June, was reported as one of the most active in several years. Buyers appeared encouraged by the recent trend in retail sales and made con- mitments averaging about Is per cent larger than year ago. De- mand for leather broadened, con- tinuing the improvement begun in May, and tanners reported the most active trading period so far in 1889.
 Building permits filed in New Eng land during the first five months of the year totalled $34,470,572 or 63 per cent above 1888, and one of the largest increases in the coun- try. Hampered by unseasonal wealth CT and uncertainties growing out of a tense foreign situation, building activity, however, progressed slowly, and material lines complained that they were yet to feel the full effects of the expansion indicated by projected building.
 Trade Uprising Quickens
 World events which had retard- ing effect no activity in most lines served to quicken the upswing in trades related directly or indirectly to armament production. Output of small tools, machinery, aircraft and small arms in reased rapidly in the first half, and producers reported that substantial blacklogs or or. ders promised further gains in ac- tivity during the last six months.
 On the whole, factory payrolls have shown small shrinkage since the beginning of the year, and con- sumner buying has been affected cor respondingly. Increases in trade volume over last year tended to narrow during March and April, but May and June witnessed stronger buying movement. and latest weeks indicate sales gains of close to 10 per cent compared with a year ago.
 Salutary Effect
 This upturn in consumer pur- chasing, combined with the recent improvement in the important tex tile and shoe industries and steady expansion in building and machine tools, has had a salutary effect on business sentiment in the region. AL though the business state of-mind may still be summed up as one of tempered optimism, more liberal buying policies reflect some lifting of the extreme caution which char acterized business dealings during a good part of this spring.

 Jackson, Mich., June 28- Farming is fast and fascinating occupation to Merle E. Mason, the flying far mer, who speeds from market to market over four-state front in monoplane, returning to home port" in time for supper each eve ming.
 At almos. any auc-.on or sale in Michigan, Ohio, northern Illinois, or western New York, Mason is likely to "drop in."
 He doesn't stay long; just takes time enough to buy what's on his shopping list, sell whatever products he may have on hand. Then he takes off again, homeward bound.
 Home" may be Mason's farm two miles south of here. Or it may be a pasture or field on one of his two other farmS-a 142-acre tract in Hillsdale county and 100-acre place near Nashville.
 The ground crew, consisting of sMason's son-in-law, George Buch- oltz, and the hired man, Barney Wolf, unload the transport" Ma son washes up, then is ready for 8 big meal.
 Sky shopping, says this agricul- tural aviator, beats driving an au- tomobile. You don't have to worry about traffic cops, stop lights, de- tours, and punctures. It's faster.
 It's just as cheap, too. There are no hotel or entertainment expens- es. Since taking up this form of travel year ago, Mason has saved money. Last winter, he had enough extra to take Florida vacation.
 Mason learned flying at Reynolds airport here, taking night school course. He holds private pilots license.
 I'm just a farmer and don't want to look like anything else," he says, explaining why he refuses to don monkey suit, goggles, and headgear for his expeditions. His flying cos- tune is leather jacket and felt hat, which he jams down over his ears.

PLEDGE CARDS FOR

Bosotn, June 28-UP)-Pledge cards for Vice President John N. Garner for the 1940 Democratic pres- idential nomination were being cir- culated in Massachusetts, today. The first pledge cards and accompany ing letters from the "Texas Garner President Committee" were re- ceived yesterday by many Massa- chusetts Democrats. The Garner ap- peal letter said:
 "The presidency of the United States is a solemn responsibility, and for 1t we believe MT. Garner is fitted by character, my maturity and by experience. Out sentiment in Texas is unanimous for our distin- guished native son. We recognize that sentiment elsewhere !. means little unless it is organized.
 "Tne friends of John Nance Gar ner are asked to join forces, and unite in a concerted show of strength looking to his nomination by the Democratic party for the presi- dency .."

Written for the United Press)
 An irregular sidewise trend over the past six months brings New England industry and trade into the final week of the first-half at level relatively uncha, ged from that at the beginning of the year. The stability Of business in recent months. Dunn & Bradstreet points out, follows the sharp upturn of 1888 which enabled the business curve to regain approximately half the ground lost in the recession of the previous year.
 While the trend in New England so far this year has closely approx imated the showing for the country as whole, comparison with a year ago generally reveal broader re- covery than that recorded by most sections. This, of course, is linked with the fact that New England, having felt the recession as keenly as did only a few other highly in- dustrialized areas, has had easier figures to surpass than the major ity of regions.
 Industry Makes Gains
 In industry, gains over last years level range up to almost 100 per cent. During the first quarter, tex tile mills consumed approximately 35 pc cent more cotton and more than twice s5 much wool as in the same period of 1938 While some what smaller margin is indicated for the second quarter, the improvement is still substantial.
 Print cloth mills are currently troubled by burdensome inventory condition, but in the past few weeks sales and production have been moving in opposite directions with a resulting gradual liquidation of stocks. To further this, manufac- turers plan a curtailment program for the next three onths designed to restore prices, at least to cost levels.
 In the wool goods industry, the picture at present is enc of grad ually increasing activity. Millmen complain of greater competition from English-made fabrics, resulting from enactment of the Anglo Am erican trade pact, but orders from the clothing trade being received currently are building backlogs about twice as high as year ago.
