c. What might be considered the essence of Christian teach ing?
 A. In the words of an eminent Protestant teacher, preacher and author, Christian teaching means that God has created man for fellowship with himself, and that he has created the world the way 1t is-hazardous, uncertain, appar- ently full of moral indifference, often seeming to deny every hu- man hope and aspiration-because such a world is congruous with his purpose for man. All Gods deal- ings with man look to one end to make him a true son of God, . true brother of all his kind"

|CITY CAMPAI
 TO START SOON
Proposed City Manager Charter Basis of C. G.
 q. A. Drive

A city-wide campaign in which every possible method of dissemin- ating propaganda will be employed by the Citizens Good Govern ment association on behalf of the proposed city manager char ter. The association plans to begin its drive immediately after Labor Day, and will carry it on till the opening of the polls Oct. 3, when the voters of Waterbury will decide whether or not they wish to be gov- erned under the city manager sys- tenn.
 In pressing for passage of the referendum bill at the late session of the General Assembly, the associ- ation and its representatives em- phasized the allegations made by the state during the conspiracy trial. Over the objections of Senator George T. Culhane, the bill was passed, along with an administra- tive code, which will become effec- tive only if the new charter is adop- ted. Senator Culhane, however, pushed through 8 series of drastic amendments to the present charter, most of which will become effective Jan. if the proposed new charter is defeated at the referendum.
 The Good Government group will use press and radio in campaigning for adoption of the city manager charter. Scores of speakers will be made available for club and society meetings; mass meetings will be sponsored by the organization. As sociation workers will go from house to house appealing for votes. Many Thousands of pieces of literature will be distributed. .
 Supporters of the proposed new charter believe that the jury ver- dict this week will give great im- petus to the drive for a change in the city's system of government.
 Opposition to the city manager plan has up to now been confined for the most part to political racial groups. Neither Democratic nor Re- publican party leaders have com- mitted themselves, but party work CTS in the main will battle against the charter.
 The city manager charter would make a city manager the chief ad- ministrator of the city government. He would be chosen by seven coun- cilmen elected by the people, and would hold office indefinitely. Beside the councilmen, the only other odiceholders elected would be seven members of the board of education.
 The Proportional Representation system would be used in the voting. Candidates could run for office by filing nominating petitions contain ing the names of 200 registered vot- CTS.

 In nine out of ten homes, it's the lady of the house who speaks up with the answers That goes even when hubby is also present.
 Not all of the subjects take kindly to this rehearsal business. house-painter called it "a lot of damn foolshness," declined to climb down off his ladder when an interrogator found him at work One little old lady would only see the census taker through the window.

YOUNG CAMPERS 'ROUGHING' IT
YMCA Groups Establish Own Shelters, Cook
 Meals in Woods

Work on the two new settlements at the Y camp at Smiths pond, Wa tertown, was completed yesterday, and the boys moved in for the next ten days. The junior section will live in the Indian village in which they have just finished work. The middlers also are now established, in their pioneer village. Both groups will be living in the open most of the time for the next ten days, cooking their own meals, and obtaining their sup plies at the trading post which has been established back in the woods.
 One group of the boys, under the leadership of Robert Brice and Frank Stockton, have left the camp for a visit to Lake Candlewood, where they plan to spend five days. They feel that Tn a stay of this length they will have time to be- come well acquainted with the lake and the surrounding regions. Like the boys at the home camp, the members of this expendition will rough it. cooking their own meals, and building their own shelters, Those who are on the trip are: William Harrington, Arthur Dun- phy, Farnum Little, Joseph Meyer, William Marti and John Schuhman.
 Canoe tests have been passed by Thomas Senten, Wilbert Christian son, Daniel Shea, Arthur Dunphy and John Conlin.
 Any parents who plan to visit the Mataucha settlements tomorrow are respectfully urged to bring along basket lunch, as the boys have to eat the products of their own cooking six days week, and this is their only contact with civiliza- ton.

temporarily into the type of altar used in churches of the Byzantine rites. Its situation is ideal and it can easily be adapted for the Byzan- tine ceremonies
 The entire altar is required to be covered completely with a single cloth. On its fiat top will be none of the customary rerodos, but only two candelabra, each with three branches The altar covering may be in any chosen color, and will make a vivid pictur as the back ground for the vari-colored robes of the celebrant priests. Incidentally the Byzantines do not follow the color system of vestments which ap- plies to the Latin rites.
 On the front of the altar covering will be attached a Greek cross Draped lecterns will be used for the ikons or holy pictures which are a feature of the oriental rites. Some of tohose are said to have money value running from eight hundred dollars to a thousand dollars. The ikonostasis or screen which in the oriental churches is placed before the ikons, will be omitted in the shrine. so that all who attend can observe what goes on in the sanctu- ary.
 The priests prepare and bless the wine and bread at side altar, though all the other action of the confederation takes place at the main altar.
 Rev. Frederick H. Chase, doctor of oriental ecclesiastical studies, of Lynn, Massachusetts, will come tc Washington to speak in English and French on the occasion of the con- celebration. Dr. Chase, though [ priest of the Latin rite, is an out standing scholar and authority oi the Byzantine rites.
 The concelebration will be oper to the public.
