 No, we need not go to the foreign missionary fields in order to discover idol worship. It is here among us, but it need not stay here. If you are honest with yourself, with your Church, with your God, there will be no time, no room, no desire for other gods. May it be so with you"

Rietdyke Speaks
 On "Idol Worship"
Cites Local Instances to Prove Point on Strange
 Gods-Name of Mussolini Greater Than Christ

Charles Reitdyke, of the local corps of the Salvation Army, gave the following talk on the Army's regular Sunday evening program over Station WATR.
 Prom time to time we receive requests from our listeners to dis cusS certain pertinent problems and thought-provoking questions over the air. Many of these re- quests, because of their controversial nature, we must lay aside, but lately there has been considerable agita- iton to present study of the Ten Commandments in the light of pres ent-day living. It is my intention to discuss with you the first God-given commandment this evening and, if during the next week. we receive enough comment to warrant the continuance of such discussions, then we shall lay our plans accord ingly.
 Here In Waterbury
 We all know the first command ment, Thou shalt have no other gods before Me-" and as we contem- plate those words, there immediate ly comes to our mind a picture of heathen tribe in darkest Africa, the Sun worshippers of our own Americas, the people of the nIdies, of China, of Japan, but do we really have to go that far from home? Does this commandment apply to us here in Connecticut, here in Waterbury? We do not pray to idols; we have no other gods before us-- or have we?
 I know 8 man right here in our own city who sacrificed his home. his family, his job and his manhood trying to satisfy his unnatural ap- petite for strong drink. Today he Is human being without principle, a thief, a liar, summed by a dis graced family, existing with only one thought in mind, one purpose In his miserable life: strong drink and more strong drink. For strong drink is his god, and 1t is to him and those like him that the first command ment applies, "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me"
 I know a man right here in our own city who is reputedly wealthy. He obtained this wealth through shady activities and questionable transactions. In order to obtain money and more money he sold his manhood, his integrity and his friends, for money is his god and to him and his like comes the age-Old commandment, Thou shalt have no other gods before me-"
 Oh, the multitudes of people who have erected in their hearts and lives altars and shrines in which they secretely worship other gods;

in A Draft? Over Three Million Casualties" Ex- pected in State
 Due to Contag-
 ious Colds.

Over three million colds may be expected during the coming months in Connecticut alone ufl- less concerted and conscientious efforts are made by the public to prevent spreading and catching the disease, according to Eugene E. Lamoureux, M. D. Epidemic logist, who urged in the weekly broadcast of the State Depart ment of Health that people ohA serve the following simple rules:
 Avoid the germs which cause a cold by avoiding the coughs and sneezes of others.
 Avoid spreading these germs by covering up your own coughs and sneezes.
 Avoid over fatigue by getting plenty of rest.
 Avoid sudden changes in temper ature by dressing warmly and sensibly.
 Avoid lowering of resistance by eating 8 proper and balanced diet
 There is no disease as prevalent, habitual, general or pertaining to a community at large, as the common cold, Doctor Lamoureux said. This explains why the cold is termed as common. Someone is always complaining of cold in summer, winter, spring or fall and there is @ decided increase in the number of colds with the changes in the winter and spring months. Investigations in the past have shown that people in certain groups had an average of nearly two colds during these months.
 Persons afflicted with the com- mon cold feel miserable on an average of three to five days. Be- sides the personal discomfort caused, however, the common cold is an important economic factor that pertains to the community and state at large. Doctor La- moureux estimated that an out- break of three million colds in Connecticut would amount to a total of nine to fifteen million days where work is either lost en- tirely or maximum efficiency is greatly reduced.

Downfall Of MICHIGAN
In Track Predicted
By Ace Dopster
Wrong Only Once in l9
Meets, Sees Hoosiers
As Big Ten Champs
By the Associated Press.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, May %
Overthrow of Michigan as Western
Conference track champion was
forecast today by Phil Diamond,
whose dope sheets in the last decade
have picked 18 winners in 10 meets.
Indiana will win the champion
ship at Evanston, Ill, Friday and
Saturday, the dark-haired Michigan
German professor declared, with the
Wolverines trailing by S points. In
diana's winning total he set at 40
points.
After wearing out dozens of pen
ellis and erasers, Diamond emerged
with the following predictions:
Indiana will win six first places,
with Roy Cochrane taking the 800
yard dash and low hurdles and
Archie Harris the shotput and dis
Gus.
Michigan will win three events,
Breidenbach nosing out Cochrane
in a great 440 race
Ohio State will score 29 points to
beat out Wisconsin for third place.
Michigan may have an ace up it's
sleeve in the prospect that Breiden-
bach may run the 200, Diamond said
Scores of the other teams, he pre-
dicted, will be: Wisconsin, 81; Illi-
nois. 81; Minnesota. IT; Purdue and

Two Champs Moy Meet
And Become Worm Pols

Ceferino Garcia is an entirely diff
ferent worlds champion from
Hostak. Overlin is fighting for
Garcia's title, not Hostaks. 1t is
practically impossible to win both
titles at the same time, though Mr..
Overlin is willing to bet he could
do it.
If Garcia beats Overlin and Hos
tax beats Zale the two champions
will probably meet some day, which
means that each of them has a
real treat in store, for both are
lovely fellows-if there is Hostak.
A certain grudge element enters
into the Garcia -Overlin match,
thanks to the vengeful nature OF
one Henry Armstrong. Garcia is
chap for whom little Henry does
not care at all. They have met twice,
and once the Filipino socked Arm
strong right on the jaw, though ne
lost the fight.
They fought a return match re-
Gently. in which it seemed to Mr..
Armstrong that he hit the gentle
man from the Philippines with
everything but a volume OF Shell
ley's works, which he left behind
in his library. However, Garcia
got a draw. This ranked so deeply
in Henrys justice-loving bosom
that he raced to the side OF MIR.
Overlin last week to advise him on
how to confound Mr. Garcia.
"You give him this" he wf1is-
pered in the sailors ear, "and then
give him this"
Thanks" said Mr.. Overlin, CRATE
fully. That's very clear. Armed,
therefore, with his own sagacity, the
wisdom of the Armstrong; and the
good wishes of several admirals and
rear admirals, Mr.. Overlin goes
boldly to the wars to win a title
which is not recognized in 46
States.
Having missed on three fights in a
row, I will try to break my losing
streak by picking Garcia.
