Largest Catholic Societies In State
 Join In Campaign
bus Endorse Diocesan Efforts to Get Rid of Ob- scene Literature on Newsstands

are spreading throughout the country as a result of the great increase in the publication of in- decent literature. Our Diocesan publication. The Catholic Trans cript. has been especially instru- mental and effective in promoting this campaign.
 The Knights of Columbus is al- ways ready to lend its support and cooperation in any movement of this character. It is an out standing example of Catholic activity and 1t is not only the privilege but the duty and ooliga- tion of every member of the Knights of Columbus to support the authorities of the Church in this splendid undertaking. All decent men and women recognize the need of aggressive and mil- itant acticn upon the part of our people in order to prevent and overcome the spread and growth of these offensive books and periodicals. urge every Council of he Order in his state to take definite and progressive measures to protest and preserve the 'mor- ality of our future citizens.
 I suggest that you appoint from the membership of your Council a committee to make a study of this problem in your own com- munity and recommend the adoption of such means ard measures as may seem advisable to achieve the results which we all so ardently desire. The chair man of this committee should communicate as soon as possible with the editors Of The Catholic Transcript in order to obtain iil- formation concerning the publica- tions which are the principal offenders. An aggressive and de- cisive attitude upon the part of your council will be of immeas- urable assistance in promoting the success of this work.

Two of the largest Catholic or- ganizations in the state, the Knights of Columbus and the Connecticut Council of Catholic Women, have joined the Drive for Clean Literature, a campaign aimed at obscene publications. Letters endorsing the drive have been writ ten by Miss Mary O'Flaherty, coun- ell chairman, and William J. Shea, state deputy of the K. of c.
 ThcusanGs of Catholics in the state have taken pledges to support the campaign. Stores which per- sist in selling objectionable litera- ture will not be patronized.
 Transcript Leads Fight
 The campaign Is being pushed vigorously by The Catholic Trnas- cript, official diocesan publication. with the approval ef Most Reverend Maurice F. McAuliffe.
 The following are the letters written by Miss O'Flaherty and MT. Shea:
 Editor of Catholict Transcript;
 Dear Monsignor:
 The Connecticut Council of Catholic Women, conscious of their moral responsibility as Catholics and American citizens and realizing that literature, like the moving picture, has tre- mendous influence for good or evil, and that character is weak ened by immoral, unclean litera- ture strengthens and enables character, pledges its whole hearted support to the Drive for Clean Literature.
 Vicious, immoral types of books, periodicals, leaflets and publica- tions containing photographs and improper advertisements, have in- creased incredibly within the past few years and circulate not only among adults but very largely among the youth.
 Sponsored by His EXcellency, the c. Y. O. was inaugul ated four years ago by the c. c. c. K, as an answer to the call of the late Holy Father to youth. The aim is ito safeguard youth and provide out lets for these activities which normal youth demands"
 Convinced that the youth of nation Is its most valuable asset we, individually and as an organi- zation, will use every effort to combat the distribution of hlde- cent literature.
 This question affects the adult as well as the youth and we can help by warning against the read ing of such literature and arous- ing an interest in Catholic books, periodicals and newspapers which are within the reach of every one today in our Catholic lending libraries. church book racks and Catholic look shelves In public libraries.
 Respectfully yours,
 MARY P. OFLAHERTY

FEAST OF LIGHTS
 OPENS NEXT WEEK
Jewish Calendar Desig" mates Wednesday, Dec.
 6, as ChanukkO

Despite the 20th-century attempt of some nations to destroy Jews and Judaism, the evening of December 6. will find a candle burning in Jewish homes and synagogues throughout the world. These lights kindled in celebration of the Feast of Lights-the feast of Chanukko of the Jewish calendar-proclaim the eternal spirit of ancient faith.
 On each of eight successive eve- nings, an additional candle will be lighted. When eight candles burn together on the last night Of the festival, they will stand as sym bol of a courage that faces the fu- ture as 1t has so often in the past.
 Commemorating the triumph Of the Jewish people, under the leader ship of the Maccabees, over the Sy- rian tyrant, Antiouchus, Chanukko gives strength to Jews in world harboring a Hitler. Of old, an An- tiochus too tried to root out Judaism and set up organism in its stead.
 In 165 B. c. E. Jews found strength to regain their Temple from organism and to burn a cruse of sacred oil ill honor of that vic- tory. Jews in the 20th century burn the Chanukko lights to signify that belief in the dignity of man is still live and a potent force in the world.
 To martyrs of today Chanukko brings a message of courage. For the worlds first martyrs for free- dom of conscience pointed the way to salvation in the days of the Mac cabees.
 Chanukko opens on the 25th day of Kisiev, the 9th month of the Jewish calendar. tn eanniversary Of the date when the Temple in Jeru- salem was rededicated.

 NOT FINISHED
Canneryman Wright Says Conferences Are 10
 Be Resumed

Negotiations at Ketchikan be. tween salmon packers and the Al aska Salmon Purse Seiners Union for an agreement for the 1889 sea son have not been deadlocked, but are merely temporarily suspended according to Frank Wright Super intendent of the Icy Straits Pack ing Company
 Wright arrived in Juneau this af- ternoon on the steamer Yukon from Ketehikan after serving two weeks on the packers committee ill the fish season negotiations.
 A 25 percent increase in pink sal mon prices was offered the sein- CTS, Wright said, but locals refused the offer by vote of seven to four, and further negotiations are being suspended until union repre- Sentatives at the conference have had chance to confer with their locals on the offer of the cannery- men.
 The union asked a 20 percent elimination of fish traps on the five-year plan for total abolition and also closed shop. On fish prices. the union asked nine cents for pinks, eleven cents for chums, 28 cents for echoes and 40 cents for reds. Last year they were given five cents for pinks, six cents for chums, Is cents for echoes and 25 cents for reds.
 The last offer of the packers pro- vided for 25 percent increase over last year on pinks, boosting the price to 6ie cents on a sliding scale of a l2-cent raise for each five cents raise on the market base price of S110 cents dozen, such market price based on the price being re- ceived by the individual packer, and not the general market price at large.
 Packers also offered 7l2 cents for chums, l6la cents for echoes, and 27la cents for reds, the chums on sliding scale of a $100 base price and no sliding scale for echoes and reds.
