the Veterans must be united,
there is strength in unity.
The Organized Veterans fought
for legislation favorable to the
Veterans, their widows and or
phans, such as adjusted service
compensation, the disqualification
to which you are entitled and
which many of you have already
enjoyed; the pensions for widows
of your buddies, the Homes for
Veterans, orphans; the constant
Watchfulness which guards the in
terests of all service men; the
battles for national defense; the
fight for Americanism- these
are results of efforts of organi-
cations for service men.
The American Legion, the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars, the Dis
abled American Veterans, The
Jewish War Veterans, your divi-
sional war associations are re-
sponslble for all of the above ben
efits.
A large proportion of the ].
w. V. membership belongs to the
above mentioned Veterans or
CARNATIONS to which they are ell
igible.
Tracing its history back to
those Jewish Civil War veterans
of 1896, the ]. w. ", as it is pop
ularly called, is today the second
o d e S t veterans society in the
country, being ante-dated only by
the Grand Army of the Republic.
When this organization of Civil
War Veterans disbands, as it must
before long because the last bugle
call is fast decorating it's aging
ranks, the J. w. V. will become
the senior among all veterans
groups.

An Appeal To The Veterans
By SIDNEY sCHAIN Past Commando

Iii these troublesome days when
Americanism and Judaism, the
two things that are most dear to
lis. are in constant danger from
the attack of Nazism, Fascism
and Communism, each and every
one of us must make a supreme
effort to combat those subversive
activities more than ever.
1t becomes increasingly impor-
tant that Jacksonville Post No.

United States, enroll all veterans
of the Jewish faith in this organ
ization. The Membership Com

pie regardless of what faith. This
is not the time to brood about
imaginary woes and pettiness. We
must forget and forgive, and work
together to keep the torch of free
dom and liberty burning in every
heart. We have to continue to
contribute for a better and har-
monious community. We no long
er feel that there is any need for
squabbling. The memories of our
forefathers must be sacred to us,
by h ow ng us worthy to en-
tighten those who are victims of
foreign poison and class hatred.
This article is, therefore, to ac-
quaint you with the facts, and to
request your whole-hearted CO.

common cause, so that we can
fight in the Western hemisphere
for the rights of all men. Com
bined we can do it, separately
we are weak.

The American public has learned

promises to spell doom for the an

Chief Frank J. Wilson OF the U.
S. secret service has his fingers
crossed. but he see every mdlca-

the current Christmas season.
The racket has become "too no"
for the big-time money passers De-
cause the secret service, this year,
has done such a thorough job OF
teaching the public how to detect
bogus bills on sight, says Wilson.
Yuletide days additionally are
fat days in the counterfeiting bust

TWO ARTISTS IN
 JOINT RECITAL
UricO ROssi and Stanley Freedman Give Artistic
 Performance

Urico Rossi, violinist, and Stanley Freedman, pianist, were heard last night in joint recital at Davenport hall. The Mattatuck Musical Art Society sponsored the event which was for the benefit of the society's scholarship fund. Both MT. Rossi and MT. Freedman have won repu- tation for their artistic work in music, and have played in this city and elsewhere from time to time. MT. Rossi has been concert master with the Civic Orchestra of Water bury and Mir. Freedman has been heard from time to time with Hart ford and local groups.
 Two of their offerings last night were for violin and piano, the first the Sonata in G Major by Mozart. In this both musicians gave distinc- tive performances, making much of both movements, the Allegro mid- erato and the Allegretto. MT. Freed man then played pieces for the piano, first Liszt's Etude in D Flat Major, then Waltz in F Minor by Chopin, and Fantasia, also by Cho- pin. MT. Freedman'S performance was marked by keen musicianship and he gave to his Chopin and Liszt style and finish. For an encore he rendered, De Falla's Ritual Fibre.
 Mir, Rossi also played three solo numbers, those being Concerto in B Minor by Saint Saens, then "Mala- guena" by Sarasate. and lastly "Del Sohn der Halde by Hubay. MT. Ross! has advanced in stature as 8 violin ist. His performance was character ized by smoothness and precision as well as sympathetic feeling for the musical content of the compost tion.
 The program concluded with Brahms Sonata in D Minor for vio- lin and ptano. The four movements were admirably played by both ar- lists. A large and appreciative au- dience attended the concert.

 Washington, Nov. 19-(UP)-In- dustry has climbed past the 1928 peak year level of production.
 Government economists expect g further rise this winter from the de- fense billions.
 On the other side of the economic picture, the public debt has reached an all-time high; there are prospects of Q further debt increase; at the end of October, an estimated 17,156,- 900 people were being supported by federal, state and local relief checks Those were the highlights of the economic situation as gleaned today from government and private statis- tics.
 Industrial production in October reached 8 record high of 128 on the federal reserve boards adjusted i1l- dex (1935-39 equals 100). That com pared with 125 in September, with the previous record high of 126 es- tabliShd in December, 1919, and with 121 in October, 1899.

BIRTH CONTROL
 ! LECTURE THEME
Much Medical Evidence Against Practice Claims
 Rev. Francis Barrett

There is as much medical evi- dence against the practice of birth control as there is for 1t" asserted Rev. Francis J. Barrett, assistant pastor of the Church of the Blessed Sacrament, in his sermon at the Adult School of Religion last evei- ing at Waterbury Catholic High school. >
 Rev. James F. Woods, assistant pastor of Sts. Peter and Paul church showed films on the mass, made by three Hartford priests. Pictures were also shown of the consecration cere- monies of Most Rev. Henry J. OBrien, auxiliary bishop of Hart ford.
 The problem of teaching sex in the home was discussed by Rev. George F. Reilly of the Church of the Immaculate Conception. Parents he said, can handle the problem whereas satisfactory treatment of the subject in the ordinary school curriculum is not possible because of the mental and emotional differ ences of the students.
 The similarity between envy and pride was pointed out by Rev. Wil- liam Disco of Watertown in his lec- ture on Envy Envy, he claimed, $ an inordinate love of self in that we are grieved of the good fortune of others and rejoice at the misfortune of others.
 The Old Testament is merely the preparation for the New, said Rev. Alfred Cabitor of St. Joseph's church in continuing his series of sermons on the Bible. The entire history of the chosen people is a story of their preparation for the coming of the Redeemer, he added.
 Rev. Joseph E. Donnelly of St. Thomas church charged that relig- ious indifference is counterfeit in his lecture on Is One Religion As Good As Another?" He pointed out that religions do differ from one another and that even sectS of Christianity differ in fundamental beliefs.
 Rev. J. Oliver Cronan of st. Mar garet's church related the events of Passion Week in the Life of Our Lord while Miss Mary Dwyer dis cussed various authors in history, biography and political essays who, she added, are interpreting con- temporary world affairs with their eyes fixed on eternal values.

MINIATURES ON DISPLAY HERE
Exhibition at Mattatuck Work of Sally Haley of
 This City

The Mattatuck Historical Society has opened this morning one of the most interesting exhibitions sched- uled for ths present season. This consists of a series of miniatures, mostly of children, made by Sally Haley of Waterbury. Miss Haley is native of Bridgeport, the daugh- ter of a prominent photographer there, has studied at the Yale School fJ the Fine Arts, and under Professor Maxon of Munich. At Yale she made specialized study of the technique and the point of view of the early Renaissance por- trait painters and this study is re- flected in the lifelike, decorative and altogether charming way in which she has handled the very difficult problem of child portraiture.
 Miss Haley has had many exhibi- tions in art centers throughout the United States and her work is par ticularly well known in Connecticut. It has been exhibited in Hartford, New Havel1, Waterbury and else where. The twenty-five miniatures two larger portraits and group of portrait drawings included in this exhibition all represent portraits made during the past five years and were lent t the Mattatuck by their sons in widely scattered parts of Connecticut. The exhibition will be on view in the Little Gallery every day during this week, including Sunday, November 24th.

An insistent door bell summoned Bunker Hill resident from his chair and radio early last night to the door. The man opened the door, only to hear a swish through the air and round object crash against the wall with 8 loud re- port. Frightened, the man jumped back but after regaining his con- fidence he looked out into the dark and saw two boys flashing away.
 On examination, it was revealed that the pellet was an electric light bulb filled with white flour. Police were probing the flour bombing" incident late last night.
