Having once done this he urged that Cath olics, guided by these principles, weigh carefully the social problems and the solutions offered, on one hand, thinking true promises through to logical conclusions and on the other, attacking seemingly sound principles based on false premises. The next and most im- portant thing is Catholic Action, the deliberate correction of evil and the bold, conscious campaign for the continuance of good. Father Ken nedy pointed out that one social teaching of the Church and one embodied in many papal encyclicals that of the sanctity of the human individual, is now being brought forward by many as an almost new thought.

Judge Mead Talks
 At Wonnen's s Meeting

A discussion of the new juvenile court bill which will come before the present session of the General As sembly was held yesterday at the Waterbury Women's Club when Judge Stanley P. Mead of New Canaan addressed the group. The history of juvenile court was traced from 1922 until the present day.
 A brief discussion was also held on the bill for aid to dependent children and county homes system of taking care of orphans.
 In part, Judge Mead said "The backbone of juvenile court system is the principle that if boy or girl under 16 breaks law, the child is not held entirely to blame. Society is held to blame, and the procedure in juvenile court work is to consider the child as in trouble, not law breaker. Under present laws, which are all right as far as they go. no child is presented on a charge until the case has been thoroughly in vestigated - his home, his school record, his neighborhood environ ment are all studied before any dis position is made of his case.
 The probation officer plays 8 large part in juvenile court work but so does the judge. And one of the things which the new law will provide is that the judges in the five juvenile courts shall devote full time to the job. They will be appointed for eight years by the superior court judges, removing the job as far from politics as possible. A merit system for probation officers has already been set up, so that the new courts should function with the utmost efficiency.
 The record of the Fairfield court,

of trumps produced this situation:
 North: hearts, king, nine, three; club eight.
 East: spade queen; hearts, jack, eight, seven.
 South; spade jack, hearts, ace, two; diamond seven.
 West: hearts, queen, ten, six: club queen.
 The diamond was led, and West could do nothing but throw the high club or unguard the heart. Naturally, he played heart, and when dummy discarded the club, East had an equally unprofitable choice. He gave up the queen of spades, and the declarer laid down the spade jack and the ace and king of hearts. for all of the tricks and his ambitious contract.

NEW MADRID, Mo-, Jan. I'd
For the second time in two years
sharecroppers in southeast Missouri
find themselves homeless.
Two years ago the flood waters
drove them out Of their homes. Now
it is the big landlords.
The change in the method of
operating the farms from share
cropping to day labor system
which the croppers are protesting,
will affect thousands of share
troopers in the cotton areas.
Since the AAA acreage reduction
program was put into effect the
amount Of cotton land has been re-
duced by almost one-third.
Sharecroppers were to receive one
half of the AAA acreage reduction
