-Unification of American MethodiSm.
 Q. What are the differences be- tween the Sacraments and the sacramentals in the Roman Cath olic Church?
 A. According to Catholic teach ing there are seven sacraments in stituted by Christ to give grace. The Church is powerless to change them in their essential elements.
 The sacramentals, however, are rites instituted by the church, which can modify or abrogate them at will. They do not confer sanctifying grace of themselves but depend for their efiiciency upon the personal devotion of the| individual using them.
 Q. What Is the signifiance of the| Jewish Festival of Weeks which is to be celebrated on the 24th cf May?
 A: The Jewish Pentecost or' "Shovuos." originally called the| Festival of Weeks because it| marked the end of the grain har- vest when bread baked from the new crop of wheat was offered as e sacrifice. also has come to bel identified with and celebrated as the anniversary of the giving of| the Law to the Jewish people ar Mount Sinai. Reform Jews have given the holiday . new sIgnifi | canoe by inaugurating the ceref mony of Confirmation for bcya and girls.

Buddy Topples are essentially flowers of memory. And as long as memory of the World War lasts, the flaming red peoples of Flanders Fields will symbolic to millions of Americans, the unselfish sacrifice of those who offered their lives in defense of American ideals and se- curity.
 DoubIy Representative
 The V. F. w. poppy is doubly rep- resentative of the American soldiers spirit of unselfishness and sacrifice for others. Each one of the hundreds to be sold here and thousands of other communities, throughout the country in conjunction with Me- morial Day, is painstakingly fash- toned by the hands of disabled World War Veterans--men who are confined to beds or wards in gov- ernment hospitals in all parts of the country.
 Every cent of the money con- tributed by the people of Waterbury and the country at large, in the eighteenth annual buddy poppy sale of the V. F. w., May 27-30 will be devoted to the cause of the vet erans welfare, to the care of dis abled and needy veterans, to the security of their dependent wives and children, and to provide for the widows and orphans of Americas soldier dead.
 Aids Needy
 Members of the local Wheeler Young Post No. 201 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars will from your pur- chase of poppy enable them to ad- minister to the wants and needs of disabled veterans and their families in our community.
 As your personal contribution to the spirit of Memorial day, won't you wear poppy in memory of Americas heroic dead?

when the lads from across the river
came within two points of tying
the score but with a second wind
and a return of confidence the
game ended with Welcome Hall
pulling away. Collins, Schine,
Gardner and Nelson were more or
less iron men for the winner and
played a remarkable game.

aren't good. Stay under the care
of a doctor until you are feeling
good and stop listening to people
who tell you that you are fixed.
E. s.: My husband is in the In
sane Hospital for Soldiers and I
wish to know if should try to get
a pension?
Ans: Under the circumstances
would advise that you look into the
matter. The local office of the
American Legion will be glad to
assist you in this case and they
will tell you exactly how you must
go about filing your claim.
o. C. D.: Should 1 keep taking
up time with my husband or should
we separate for good?
Ans: The whole trouble between
you and your husband is the fact
that neither one of you go out of
your way to make your home life
as it should be. To harbOr thoughts
of separate quarters is wrong.
Make up your mind that you are
going to get along and have some
thing and work towards this end.
A change will be noted very soon.
F. L. L.: My husbands cousin
left her ten year old girl with US
this past summer and we haven't
heard from her but once. Tell me
if she will allow us to keep her and
send her to school without giving
us trouble?
Ans: The mother of this child
will not try to take the yOungster
soon. She just isn't in q
position to take her and she knows
perfectly well that you two have
more to offer her than she does. |
Make arrangements to keep her in |
definitely and if the mother wants
her for a visit occasionally let |
her go. Whatever you do, hold the
and good will of the
mother if you want the daughter. |
L. A. j.: 1 have four children |
and my husband is always talking |
about killing me. What should I
do?
Ans: Get you a good paying job |
and get a place for you and the
children if he doesn't stop his fool
ish talk. The whole trouble with
him seems to be jealousy never
do anything to arouse this fault as
it might cause trouble.
