Dr. Tanning. who has recently re- ceived his doctorate in sociology gave a brief but inclusive talk on the principles of sociology or social ser- vice. It is motivated first, he said by love, that is love of God, and then love of neighbor; this consti- tutes Christian charity. The speaker cited the story of the good Samari- tan as an example of Christian charity and love, this story, he said embodying all the principles of that great doctrine. With this love of God, he explained one must add ser- vice and then sacrifice.
 &N PtOP@hv principles, pr. Planning explained, education and understanding of the principles of Christian charity are necessary to combat the evils of the day that threaten economic and so- cial security, such as divorce. birth control. Then too, he explained, there was the danger to the laboring class in wrong leadership. stating that a large number of labor unions affiliated with the CLIO were com- posed, the rank and file, largely of Catholics, but unfortunately, ne said, the leaders and organizers Of these were largely communistic.

Welfare Departments Figures Show Gain
 At Close of December
l25 Former Federal Agency Workers Now Included
 Among 5,Sll Persons Receiving Relief l,4OO t Families Assisted

Waterbury's relief load showed a sharper upturn last month at any time during the year, the December report submitted today by Miss Grac L.. White, superintendent, dis closes.
 But the superintendent remarked that the increase is less than was ex- pected, inasmuch as the dropping of $50 WPA workers last month pre- saged enlarged dlain on welfare re- sources. Of the $50, however, only 125 hay applied and been returned to the relief rolls.
 Figures Felt Strong
 There were 5,sll persons receiving benefits from the welfare depart ment in December and the case load was figured as 1897. The Nov ember case load was l,480 and 5,376 persons were receiving relief in some form.
 Last month 944 persons were on full relief as against 745 in Novem- Der; 4,670 persons received partial re- lief in December, 4,403 in November The institutional cases Increased from i88 In November to l97 Tn Dec- ember.
 There were 1,400 families on relief rolls in December, 1,292 families sim ilarly placed in November. The case load Is figured by adding the num- Der of families and the institutional recipients of welfare.
 At the start of last month, the rate of increase in relief in Water bury was at the rate of ? per cent over the preceding month and the cost of tn increase was up l3 per cent ovr Novembr. The average in- crease in about 100 cities In 32 states was 4 per cent raise in number of cases, 8 per cent raise in costs.
 Thus. general relief in Waterbury increased at a lower rate than in most other cities in the survey of the social board but costs were slightly higher in ratio, SO far as the December report to the board indi- cates.
 Breathing Spells
 During most of the past year, the relief load has dwindled with the August, September and October fig ures showing the following total number on relief for the three months. respectively: 5,877; 5,189; 5.l5l. Novmbcr showed an increase with 6.376, and the December total, 5,6l4, exclusive of the institutional cases, is comparable with the August figure, 6,677. The number of institu- tional cases varies no more than 2( during this time, slightly more or less than 200 cases.
