Vote Of Thanks Given Waterbury Democrat, 'WATR'

A letter of appreciation in which the Waterbury Democrat IS thanked for its cooperation and Station WATR praised for its pol- icies was received at The Demo- crat office today from George L. Ayotte, president of the Citizens Study Club.
 MT. Ayotte pointed out that through both agencies the recent benefit food sale at Grieye, Bisset and Hollands conducted by the club to promote the radio fund for Rev. Charles E. Coughlin of Royal Oak, Mich, was an out- standing success.
 Acknowledgement is also made to the general public for its sup port of teh sale and its generous donations. The letter reads as follows:
 Editor, Waterbury Democrat: As president of the Citizens Study club, I take great pleasure in extending to you and your as- sociates of the Waterbury Demo- crat our deep and sincere thanks for your wonderful cooperation in helping to make our recent food sale for the benefit of Father Coughlin's broadcasting fund such 8 tremendous success.
 I wish I could thank each and every one personally for donations of money and food but it is phy- sical impossibility. Hundreds of people were turned away owing to shortage of food, but neverthe- less they made substantial con- tributions and expressed their good will in no uncertain terms.
 The many followers of Father Charles Coughlin in Waterbury, both Catholic and Protestant, are very pleased, and we intend to show our appreciation in many ways, not only by patronizing the Waterbury Democrat, but by pat ronizing those who patronize us.
 While I am on the subject of thanking our supporters, wish to include radio station WATR for its kindly reminders in the news. It is very gratifying to find one radio station whose thoughts pro- ject beyond the counting room" and whose policies are not gov- erned by it's radio advertisers. More power to WATR and the sponsors of its radio programs. May they prosper and expand for they deserve the support and the good will of all Americans who be- lieve in the constitutional right of free speech for every American.
 When put to the test, they proved themselves 100 per cent Americans.

F. w., voted to move, about month ago, that the ConcordiaS were able to obtain an option on the lease.
 The Concordia Singing society was organized by eight Germans May 25, 1866, and three months later 6 hall was rented on Scovill street then the center of a local German community. Thereafter, with in. creased membership, the member; met on Bank street, near Meadow removed the rooms in the Garder building on East Main street, in 1909 and to the Bank street rooms ir 1914.
