CHURCH STREET ];
 RECTORY EMPTY
Dr.. John Lewis Widow 7 Moves Into New Resi- <
 dence on Kellogg St

 The Kellogg street residence was purchased by the late lamented pas- tor some time before his death early last April. At that time he had hoped to make it the permanent residence for him and his wife after his retirement, but plans were changed after Dr. Lewis death.
 The house which Mrs. Lewis has moved into was formerly occupied by Rev and Mrs. Francis O. Ayers. MT. Ayers is an assistant at St. Johns church.

 HOLD CONFERENCE
Dr. Brown Tells Members Red Triangle Service Dif=
 ferent From Any Other

Dr. John Brown, national director of physical education for the Y. M. c. A., spoke at general staff con- ference this morning on the topic "The Worldwide Y.'
 Dr. Brown stated that he has probably visited more Y. M. c. As than any other living man-in the United States, Canada, as well 6 in many of the foreign lands; he has lived in more Y. M. c. A. dor mitories than any other man: played in more gymnasiums and ate in more cafeterias "But." he stat ed, though I have met many peo- pie of different nationalities, and different races and creeds, they are fundamentally alike. They are friendly people on the whole. Of course, once in while you will meet some who are not as friendly, but they are in the minority.
 we who have the privilege of working for the Y. M. c. A. have great many opportunities for serv- ice. Sometimes it is the janitor who is able to do the greatest service for man or boy; other times, it is the maid in the dormitory or the waitress in the cafeteria.
 Our service is different from any other service. It is almost com- parable to the church. People come in of their own free will. They do not come in to buy something, nor to sell something. They come be- cause they want to. There are many times, when there is a great need for understanding on the part of the Y. M. c. A. employees. One is when man has great joy, such as new job, a raise, is thrilled about many things. He comes to the Y. M. c. A. and there he gets understanding.
 There is just the opposite, when a man has great sorrow. He turns to the Y. M. c. A. There he gets sympathy, and understanding, "and hand of fellowship to help him bear his sorrow and steady him on his way. It need not always be a secretary from whom he gets this help. It is the person he meets first, nj no matter which capacity he is employed, who greetS him with smile and gives him the word of encouragement which he needs.
 Tn a great many cases, it is a means of higher education for the boy who has had to leave school be- fore having a complete education. A number of these have not had the privilege of high school edu- cation. The Y. M. c. A. stan { ready to give him guidance and D help him achieve the education he desires"
 Dr. Brown told of many incidents throughout his 45 years in the Y. M. c. A. secretaryship whereby he had the opportunity to help. "These cases were not exceptional" he said. There are many such cases coming in to the Y. M. c. A. every day. The need is to recognize them and no matter what position you hold in the Y. M. O. A. give your under standing sympathy. In this way each member fo the staff can be ot real service to the community"

St. Margaret's Class
 Of 1883 In Reunion
First Get=Together in History of School to Be Held
 December 28-Father Daily Honorary Chairman

The class of 1883 at St. Margaret's school will make history Saturday evening, Dec. 28, by holding a class reunion at the Copper Kettle. This will be the first time in the history of the school that a class has re- united after graduation, but, from the enthusiasm exhibited by the members, it may well establish a precedent, which will be followed by other classes. Incidentally the school is marking it's silver jubilee year.
 The 45 members of the class have invited Rev. Peter P. Daly, principal, to act as honorary chairman Father Daly is now patient at St. Mary's hospital, but it is fervently hoped by the alumni that he will have recovered sufficiently by the end of the month to attend the affair.
 The arrangements committee is headed by Walter F. Geraghty, and includes Ann Bollard, William Stroker, Marie Garfield, William

Many prominent citizens, includ- ing both Democrats and Republi- cans, were invited today to serve on various committees in charge of the testimonial dinner planned for the evening of December 17th to honor Governor and Mrs. Robert A. Hurley. The event which is expected to be attended by many notables from all sections of the state will be held at The Elton. State Senator George T. Culhane is chairman of the general com mittee of arrangements; Joseph F. Mulville, former democratic town committee chairman, heads the re- ception committee; former Fire and Police Commissioner William J. Dunphy is chairman of the guest committee; William Wallace, presi- dent of the former 18th Senatorial District Association, is in charge of ticket distribution, and E. Vincent Maloney, publisher of the Water bury Democrat, is chairman of the publicity committee.
 Senator Culhane and the Pro- greSSive Democratic Association are sponsoring the event. It is under stood that many of the persons list- ed in the committees were not con- tacted personally, but have been in- vited to serve through general in- vitation extended through the press. Whether or not they will serve is a question, a question which each is expected to answer in his or her own way.
 Some very prominent names ap- pear on all committees, in fact many city officials are listed as hav- ing been invited, who are knowingly out of sympathy with the plan.
 The Progressive Democratic asso- citation and its chairman, Senator Culhane, expect a favorable reac- tion. Critics of the affair also ex- pect a reaction, less favorable. but the committee has emphasized the fact that the men and women mentioned in the committees are merely invited to assist or to par ticipate in tribute to the newly elected governor of Connecticut. The committees follow:

An Old Time
Democrat Speaks
BY Fred J. Ward. Editor of
The Meagher County News


A great number of democrats have
deserted the New Deal and I am one
OF them. No doubt there are other
thousands who were lifelong demo-
Gratis and now feel that the New Deal
has abandoned democracy. I feel quite
sincerely that the party of Roosevelt
is not the party of jefferson, Jackson.
Cleveland nor Wilson
Mr.. Roosevelt ran for president in
1882 on a program of economy. Almost
at once he abandoned solvency as a
national policy. He construed his re-
election in 1886 as a mandate to at
tack the supreme court-for which he
was assailed by such liberals as B. K.
Wheeler of Montana. In speeches over
and over again. Mr.. Roosevelt has
lauded democracy and condemned the
dictators in Europe But in his own
sphere he has fostered the fiction that
there is only one American capable
OF being president and that Is him.

velt's definition of democracy is the

On Their Toes

The future of agriculture in a war
ring world presents a complex ques-
ton Great markets have been lost.
Others have been dislocated Old eco
nomic standards are in a state of vio-
lent fluX. The wiSeSt man can no
longer tell what tomorrow will bring.
Here is where agriculture's greatest
economic weapon, the farmer-owned,
farmer marketing coopera-
tives, can provide a service of UMPIRE
cedented Importance. They can watch
and analyze the trends.and they can
move swiftly to adapt themselves to
great changes. They can do a vital
job in helping shield the farmer from
the economic storms that are mount
ing in intensity throughout the world.
The marketing co-ops are on their
toes today. They aren't strangled with
redtape. They are free agents, pre-
pared to take any possible step that
time proves necessary.
