units. So that Waterbury may play its accustomed part in furthering the educational talks of Father Coughlin, members of the Citizens Study Club, which succeeded Social Justice units here, have joined with other enthusiasts in arranging plans for contributing to the radio fund.
 An all-day cake and food sale will be held next Thursday at Grieve, Bissett & Holland Con- pany's store for the benefit of the fund. It is expected that the event will be we'll patronized as Father Coughlin has legion of friends To- cally, who are sincerely interested in the continuation of the weekly broadcasts. Whatever funds are raised here will be forwarded direct ly to the popular priest.
 Mrs. Edward Pracny of Waterville street and Mrs. George Ayotte of Laval street are among the members of the general committee of ar- arrangements for Thursdays sale. All inquiries concerning the progress of plans or the donation of funds will be answered by Mrs. Pracny or Mrs. Ayotte.

30 percent for interest and 10 per- cent for mechanics.
 Judges To Be Named
 The judges will be selected by the Grand Court Essay contest. Applica- tions may be obtained from the sec retary of the grand court, Harry w. Streck, 77 Middle street, Bridgeport, Conn. All competing essays must al- so be forwarded to MT. Streck.
 The board of education has given official approval of the plans and copies of the rules of the contest and other instructions have been made available through the princip- als of the local high schools.
 The resolution, which authorized the Grand Court committee, to pro- ceed with plans stimulating interest and enthusiasm among high school students in the patriotic Sile of fraternalism was adopted in Water bury at the last Grand Court con- vention of the order. The committee was recently named to supervise the contest. It includes Frank Barrett of Hartford, chairman; James. E. Brundson of Sterling, Joseph Hag- arty of Hartford; John Humphrey of Waterville; Raymond Spielman of Rockville; James J. Walsh Of Meriden and Harry w. Streck of Bridgeport.
 Three prizes will be awarded to the winners: $100 for the first, $50 for the second and $25 for the third best essay submitted. Crosby, Wilby Leavenworth, the Waterbury Cath olic High and the Sacred High schools are listed among the local institutions eligible for competition.
 Seven Courts Here
 In view of the fact that Water bury has seven subordinate courts of the order and one of the largest memberships in the state there is considerable interest here in the outcome of the contests. The sub- ject is particularly appropriate in view of the fact that fraternal or ganizations of the country are to- day waging campaigns to promote tolerance and to eradicate commun- ism and other radical ism" antag- onistic to Americanism.
 The committee anticipates an en- thusiastic response from high school students of the state on the subject The contest is expected to revive public interest in the ob- jectives of fraternalism and to focus the spotlight on the activities of fraternal organizations in general.

RADIO TOWERS
 EVOKE PRAISE
Unique Setup of New WATR Station Com-
 mended By Engineer

H. E. Pease, noted consulting ra- dio engineer of Washington, D. C., visiting in Waterbury today for an inspection of the new 180 foot wATR transmitting towers, termed the Brass City landmarks on Bald win street "a magnificent radio en- gineering feat"
 A new unique principle of radio engineering, assuring perfect recep- tion of programs, was incorporated in the construction of the towers by Harold Thomas, president of WATR and an able radio engineer in his own right. It was the in- corporation of this new principle that elicited such high praise from MT. Pease.
 WATR, the only radio station serving greater Waterbury exclus- lively, now broadcasts daily pro- grams of the Mutual, Yankee and Colonial networks with which it is affiliated. Full-time operation for Waterbury's Own Station is immi- nent.

to the broadcast of President Roose- welt from Washington.
 Democratic System
 Referring to Jackson's admins tration, the ex-Governor recalled how De Toqueville, liberal French political scientist of a century ago praised the working of American democratic government as he saw it in Washington and in several states, including Connecticut, though he feared it might not last Several European states were at the time in- tested with the growing tyranny of Socialism. What impressed De Toqueville," the ex-Governor said was our large freedom of speech and action under constitutions and laws which imposed only such re- straint as was necessary in a we'll organized society"
 Various socialisms," MT. Cross continued, have at times raised their red hair in the United States in the two Dakotas, Minnesoa, and Wisconsin. But all of the red heads got their heads knocked off in re- cent elections in those states"
 Pointing to the strange phenome- non of the socialism which has flared up here in Connecticut known as the land of steady habits the ex-Governor warned that the socialization of our leading indus tries through public ownership indi- cates eventually the loss of all that freedom, liberty and initiative on which our government and our so- cial system have been based for three centuries.
 As He Damn Pleases!
 Concluding in the jovial idiom which flared and sparkled through most of his speech, MT. Cross de- clared that he would remain Dem- ocrat through and through although now a free-lance and privileged as such to say what he damn pleaseS."
 A spirit of optimism marked the other speeches, though the warning was continually repeated against Encouragement and party depres- sion. Former Senator Augustine Lonergan declared that the Jackson day meeting must serve as an im- petus for reform and the social prog reSs which must go on.
 National Committeeman David E. FitzGerald warned against con- demnation of fellow workers and leaders, and counselled the party to fight together.
 Local Delegation
 A large delegation of Waterbury Democrats attended the dinner Among those present were: State Senator Edward Egan, State Com mitteeman Atty. J. Gregory Lynch. Postmaster Charles A. Babin, Atty. Vincent Scully. Atty. Stephen Hom- ick, Atty. Harold J. Green, Commis- sioner of Education and Mrs. Pat rick s. Bergin, Commissioner of Education Louii E. Bria, Secretary of Town Committee Dennis J..
