 MAY FORM CLUB.
Organization Meeting to Be Held at Elton Week
 From Tonight

Alumni of Amherst College throughout the Naugatuck valley will meet next week in Waterbury for the purpose of forming an Am herst club. The organization meet ing has been scheduled tentatively for next Wednesday evening at the Hotel Elton.
 Lord Jeff alumni in Waterbury and surrounding towns, totalling about 50 men, are being notified by Attorney Hugo G@uaStaferri. The meeting will get underway at 8:30 o'clock.
 Organization is being handled by younger alumni with the backing of older graduates. The group plans to meet in Waterbury once a month. Plans are also being made to have Amherst professors and athletic coaches visit the club throughout the year for lectures and speeches.
 A yearly dinned1dance is also on the proposed calendar of events.
 An Amherst club was formed in Waterbury some years ago and was quite successful, but the organiza- tion disbanded after 8 few years.
 Since that time, however, large number of local men have graduated from the college, and 1t is this group which is leading the reorganization, with the cooperation of older alumni.

presentation speech blythe Lithuan- ian girl was made in French.
 pr. PaIEstas told the audience that he believed Germany could be vic- torious in short war, but not @ long one. Hhe advocated a feder- ation of Baltic states as a bulwark against possible invasion by Russia and Germany. The guest speaker claimed Lithuania is the only coun- try in the world whose money has never been devalued.
 He expressed the opinion that Russia,s current campaign against Finland is not aimed to gain Fin- land as a country but as a bridge between Russia and the iron mines of Sweden, which eventually Russia hopes to possess. Swedens iron mines have been realized as the best in northern Europe, he said. In re- ferring to the present conflict he said the Films may be conquered but they would never be subjugated; they would die before they would accept the yoke of serfd0rnl.
 It would be more advantageous for Lithuania to be neighbor to a peaceful Russia, he said, than a war-like country, because the econ- on1ic and social security of Litf- uania would be seriously affected.
 A program of Lithuanian songs was presented by the St. Joseph's church choir, directed by Alexander J. Alexis.
 In charge of arrangements were: Rev. A. Edward Gradeck, Rev. Ben edict Gauronskas, Rev. Alfred Cab- itor, Alexander J. Alexis, Peter Jakubauslxas, Mrs. Magdalen Kar- inauskas, Mrs. Nellis Jenusaitis, John Barkauskas, Mary Kasetait, Anthony Sambaris, Mrs. Ursula Luitkevici, Joseph Bernota, Mrs. Anna Barkauskas and Marcelle Andrikis.
