Dec. 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
 The church, erected over the for mer basement church, is of Lom- bard- Romanesque design. Stained glass windows, carry portraits of many saints. The aisles are arched and the pews and confessional boxes are hand-carved.
 The marble for the permanent al- tars, altar-rail and pulpit is still in Italy, efforts to ship it having failed because of the war. But the tempo rary altars won much praise for their beauty from the large congre- gation.
 Evening devotions were held at the church last night, with benediction of the Blessed Sacrament being given and a sermon by Rev. Charles Corcoran of West Haven.
 Rev. Austin Saunders directed the girls choir in 8 special program al the dedicatory mass.

Two persons were injured in three accidents occurring here over the weekend.
 Arraigned in city court this morn- ing before Judge John l.. Gaffney and charged with reckless driving John E.. Loy, 9, of 16 Vermont street, was granted a continuance to Dec. M.
 Loy was involved in an automo- bile accident in which two persons were injured when he attempted to pull away from a parking space near the Rockville tavern and struck the car driven by Clarence Brodeu1 of 72 Rose street. Raymond Burns g, a passenger in Brodeurs car and Brodeur, were admitted to St. Mary'S hospital where attendants reported that Burns sustained se- were decorations of face, scalp and forehead while Brodeur suffered possible internal injuries.
 According to Patrolmen Joseph Mccarthy and Joseph Dunphy Brodeur attempted to pull his car to the left to avoid the accident as Loy pulled from the parking space and crashed head-on into the con- ing car. The impact, Investigating officers said, threw Burns against

 MT. Vanderbilt also asserted that Mexicos recently defeated candi- date for president was backed by NaziS and may momentarily lead 6 Nazi-inspired revolution against the government.
 Military Moves
 Mentioning the possible military moves involved in an invasion of this country, Mir Vanderbilt said that present conditions make Tan- pa, Fla, Biloxi, Miss, and New or leans, La, potential points for landing hostile troops. He discounts ed the possibility of an attempted invasion by way of Iceland and the Northern route. The most accessible route, he said, is from Dakar in Africa, where before the war, slow- travelling German and Italian con1- mercial airliners operated a regular service. If this type of plane makes it without accident, what will such an undertaking be for the swift bombers and troops transport that struck with such devastating force at France and the Low Countries?"
 MT. Vanderbilt, who also mention. ed his interviews with Hitler, Mus solini, and other individuals who are making history, declared that war is most certainly coming to America. He said that in the light of our own weakness we must give aid to Britain. If we send our guns over now, we won't have to send our sons later" E

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

The autumn of 1898 was fate
ful time Europe came close to war,
thanks to Hitler and the Sudeten-
land.
The Sudetenland was an edge of
Czecho-Slovakia. The little repub-
lie needed it because its mountains
formed wall against an attack by
Germany. There were strong Czech
forts in the mountains.
The Sudetenland in past times
had belonged to Austria Hungary,
not to Germany. Yet Hitler wanted
1t. He said the people spoke Ger
man and should belong to the Third
Reich. He also said, II do not want
any Czechs," meaning he would be
content with the German-speaking
parts of Czecho-S -Slovakia.
The Czechs did not believe his
words.
For years Hitler had been driving
his workers to turn out cannon, ma
chine guns, airplanes and other
weapons of war. He and the rest
OF the Nazis boasted that they had
the most fearful air fleet in the
Avorld.
France had promised to help the
Czechs IN case they were attacked
by Germany. Russia had promised
to help If France did. Great Britain
had not made such a treaty, but

Don't Take NV
Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Aooin 'GWTW

A few weeks ago stated here that
the origin of the title "Gone With
the Wind" was Ernest Dowson's
poem to Cynara. a line of which
reads: II have forgot much, Cynara!
Gone with the wind. -
Many readers have since told me
that I erred, that the title is based
on the 18th verse, 103d Psalm: For
the wind passeth over it, and it is
gone; and the place thereof shall
know it no more"
An appeal to the author brings
this letter from her Atlanta,
Georgia, secretary: "You are quite
right. The title of Mrs. Marsh's
Margaret MitchelD novel, Gone
With the Wind" is taken from the
poem of Ernest Dowson to Cynara,
and not from the Bible or from any
one of several other sources which
have been attributed to it.
"In the title of her. book, Mrs.
Marsh refers to the sweeping away
OF the civilization of the old South
So much misinformation on her
and her book has spread about that
she is always glad to answer legiti-
mate questions from the press"

Chamberlain Loved Peace

A way to patch up the trouble
was found. Hitler was given the
German-speaking parts of Czecho-
Slovakia, but he made a solemn
promise that he would not seize
the rest of the country.
Russia was left out of the meet
ing. This started GOODNESS" be-
tween Stain and the French and
British.
Chamberlain has been blamed for
the bargain. Yet there is one thing
about it which surely is in his IA
vor. With all his heart he tried to
keep peace in Europe. He tried as
hard as one man could try to save
the race from the horror and shame
of war.
Hitler had given his word that the
little republic would be allowed to
stay free. Would he keep his word?

INT Pass Pass Pass
West opened the deuce of hearts
and South held up the ace until
the third round Then he led
diamond and West quite properly
put up his king. That ruined the
diamond suit, and South managed
. to win only six tricks
At the other table the South
player ambitiously climbed up to
three no-trump and made that
contract! The first three tricks
we're the same. but on the dia-
mond lead West failed to put UP
the king.
East could have saved the game
by refusing to win the diamond
finesse with his queen; but, as it
happened, he took the queen and
returned the spade king. South
won and boldly took another dia-
mond finesse. When that held he
took the rest of the diamonds.
That still wasn't enough to give
South the game, but the last dia-
mond squeezed poor East. South
had discarded two clubs and East
one club on the earlier diamonds,
but what could East discard on the
last diamond? He knew another
club would be fatal, so he parted
with the jack of spades. There
upon, South discarded a third low
club and led spade from the
dummy. East made the spade
queen, but South took the rest.

Hearings Set on Two
Rail Waqe Minimums

A public hearing on recommended
tons for a minimum wage of 36
cents an hour for employees on trunk
line railroads and 33 cents for those
on short lines will be held here on
September %, Col Philip B. Flem-
ing. administrator of the Wage and
Hour Division, announced today.
If the recommendations are ap-
proved. it is estimated that more
than 10000 railroad workers will re-
ceive wage increases, most of them
on railroads in the South and West.
It has been estimated a Decent min
imum wage will cost class l railroads
an additional S6,9O3,609 a year and
a 33-cent minimum will give $500
employees wage increases totallng
$4,000 on the short lines.
Col. Fleming also made public to-
day the conflicting reports of the
majority and minority members of
the Railroad Carrier Industry Com
mittee The majority signing the
recommendation included the four
members representing the employers
and the four representing the pub
lie. The minority, consisting of the
four members representing employees,
asked a minimum wage of 40 cents
an hour, at least for class railroads.
