Ne SHALL REAP WHAT We SOW;
Will Britain Survive?

w al Ia AANSAAA k%N4A
All signs at the present time point
to the probability that the total
war" Speculated upon since hoStill-
ties began last September is about
to break upon Europe. In the light
OF events Of the past few weeks, it is
not improper to pose the question,
Will Britain survive?
There is the occupation of Norway,
a definite and smashing victory for
Hitler. since Britain tried to stop
him and couldn't. Seizure of the
whole OF Denmark may be properly
counted in the "bljtzkrieg". And
now comes the angry debate in the
House OF Commons. in which Prime
Minister Chamberlain held on by
the mere skin Of the teeth, and only
after admissions OF failures that have
shaken the country from center 10
circumference.
On top OF these developments is
the reported demand OF Hitler for a
right Of way through Holland to the
coast. The Dutch may recall all
army leaves and briStle up such
makesAjtt detenSeS as they possess,
but these are as nothing in the face
OF German might What Hitler de-
S.yeS in Holland ne Will get. The
little country has talked OF opening
its dIkes TO flood vital areas, but
whether that will thWart Nazi plans
and ambitions is debatable.
The important and alarming factor
in this turn Of events is that access
to the coast will put the Germans
just across the marrow. English
channel from the shores Of Britain.
\ better jumping off place for mass
bombings of London and other great
English citieI could scarcely be
wished.

COMMISSIONER
 DANAHER REPORTS
Industrial Activity ReaCh= ed Its Highest Peak in
 Connecticut

Hartford. Conn.,, Dec. 20-(UP)- State Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Danaher reported today that in dustrial activity reached its highest peak of the business upswing during November and that defense con- tracts were seen as the important factor in nearly all areas"
 Particularly good conditions were noted at Bridgeport where it was reported lover Al 000 workers are now employed, an all-time high since the Manufacturers association began compiling such figures in 1920"
 He said there was "a definite im- prcvemert in the previously slow conditions in the textile areas of Danielson, Thompsonville, Norwich, and New London" although velvet manufacturing plants continued to lag in the Norwich and New London districts
 The commissioner reported ''short- ages of skilled workers in all of the metal and machinist classified tions continued and shortages of eX- perieneed textile workers are begin ming to be felt.
 Wherever reported, reail trade was seen better than during the cor responding period last year and mer- business conditions"
 Several firms at New Haven, he said, were unable to increasee their working forces due to lack of equip ment for which orders have been placed"
 At Waterbury SO per cent of the new reg: srtants for jobs were women.

Peace To Borrowing World! Bishop McAuliffe in Annual Christmas Message Urges Faithful to Dedicate Prayers for Restora-
 ton of Peace Throughout the World.

eternal life that they may know Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent" (St. John XVII-3). He removes all doubt, banishes all error and re- veals Himself as the WSy the Truth and the Life. His Doctrine enlightens the mind, strengthens the will and lifts the soul to God, the final End of all truth.
 Christmas means all this to us today in a world of uncertainty, disorder and unbelief. Man gropes in the dark, is needless of the teaching of Christ and sets aside the consideration of eternal truth. Christmas means a renew al of our faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Real joy and happiness can only be found in Him. To strip Him of divinity is to cast aside the only way of truth open to the human mind. It gives no foundation, no genuine meaning to the joy and gladneSs of this happy Feast.
 Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever. He chose to remain with His people unto the end of time. By His own choice, Bethlehem must be perpetuated in the humblest Church and Chapel. He is really, truly and substan- tially present in the Blessed Eucharist. This makes Christmas a personal feast for each one. We adore, praise and thank Him as did the sehpherds before the manager in Bethlehem. From His quiet tabernacle home, He looks out on His children, hears their petitions and blesses them. Hither come the faint and the weary and find reSS, comfort, peace and strength. He comes down from the altar and gives Himself to each one of His children. His gift is personal and individual so that each one possesses the living God.
 In what more perfect way can we observe this Holy Feast than with purified hearts to receive Him our Lord and our God. In what better manner can we keep this day of days than by visiting Him throughout the day. He came as the Prince of Peace. The world today is diStraught by war in many lands. Tens of millions of our brethern suffer hardship, sorrow and famine. Let us lift our hearts to this Prince of peace in behalf of these suffering peoples and plead with Him, who alone can help. to lift their burdens and ease their sorrow. Let our one prayer and one cry be to Him that He bring peace to our sorrowing world.
 May the peace of Christ be with you always.
 Sincerely yours in Christ,
 MAURICE F. McAULIFFE.
 Bishop of Hartford

JUDGE COULDN'T
 GO UP TO HEAVEN
So He Was Unable to Say Leader of Cult" Had
 Gone There

Los Angeles, Dec. 20.-(UP)- Federal Judge Leon Yankwich to- day admitted his inability to take his court on visit to heaven and ruled out the governments at tempt to disprove the I Am Cults contention that it's founder, the late Guy w. Ballard, ascended there possessed of his mortal body.
 P. B. Grouse, a former Ballard secretary and a government witness in the trial of Mrs. Ballard and nine other A leaders on charges of mail fraud, said disciples were told that the founder had ascended bodily though actually his body had died like the body of any mortaly
 The movements magazine, The Voice, announced Ballard's "depar- ture" in a special bulletin. which Assistant U. s. Attorney Norman Neuko read to the jury:
 Our precious beloved messenger, Guy w. Ballard, made his ascen- sion at the Royal Teton oniDec. 31, 1899, at midnight under the new diSpensa tion-he is now an ascend ed master of light.
 Grouse testified that he saw Bal lard's body. He was told later that it had been cremated.
 Judge Yankwich decided the court had received enough information concerning Ballard,s demise.
 After all," he said, MT. Ballard is dead, or has ascended and it's cinch can't ascend and take the jury with me to ask him about it."
 Government witnesses testified that am taught that any believer, could ascend to heaven and return to earth at will, in his mortal flesh and without dying. am taught that the true believer who suff1- ciently purified his body made that body immortal

Aliens Warned!

The average of registration at the federal building had fallen off considerably, Russell Farrell, di- rector of the registration of aliens said, but the work continues and aliens file on the second floor of the post office building.
 An elderly person, MT. Farrell said yesterday, who was unable to climb the stairs was fingerprinted in Postmaster Charles A. Babin's effice, and added that this privi- lege would be extended for any person who was physically unable to ascend the stairs to the regis tration office.
 The date of registration ends December 26, and the law pro- vides six months jail sentence or $1,O0O fine or both for de- linquents who after that date will be turned over to the police department for trial in the U. S. district court.

ART WEEK SALES.
 BRING S2,5O0.
Promoters Well Pleased iWth financial EncOnr-
 agement Given Artists

Over $2,500 worth of art and crafts work has been sold as a result of National Art Week sales-exhibition, according to statement issued yes- terday by Sanford B. D. Low, state chairman. Two of the Sales-exhibi- tions which are remaining open until Christmas have submitted only pre- liminary reports which makes this figure incomplete and which will un- doubtedly add another $50 to $200 to the total.
 While Art Week has not resulted in imposing total sales, it is felt by the state executive committee that a great deal has been accomplished of an educational nature. Thousands of people saw the pictures and re- alized, perhaps for the first time, that many beautiful pictures and many fine handicaftS are produced in this state at prices well within the reach of every pocketbook.
 Over 500 artists and craftsmen participated in the sales exhibition in eight primary centers and five subsidiary centers in Connecticut showing nearly 1,500 items. Com pared with the returns from other states, Connecticut's accomplishment is very gratifying and indicates the interest of both artists and public in original works of art. Analysis of sales shows the need for more artists to reduce the prices of their work, for the bulk of the sales were of pictures priced under $50. Be- cause of their lower prices the larg- est number of pictures sold were water colors. Pottery and metal crafts both ranked high in handi- crafts sales. Considerably over 500 separate sales have already been re- ported in both the fine arts and handicraftS fields.
 MT. Low in speaking of the CO., operation which was given by various groups in the promotion of Art Week said, "The executive committee is particularly grateful to each of the local committees for the enthusias- tic work which was done. Equally worthy of commendation was the splendid response of the merchants who so willingly gave space for the display and sale of pictures in each | of the centers. The radio stations and newspapers in the state also were most liberal in their contribu- tion of time and space to the fur therance of the work"
 As a nationwide effort to increase the market for contemporary art November 25 to December l was unique. Time magazine in speaking of the event in the December is- sue says, Nothing like Art Week had ever been seen even in the peak days of the Italian Renaissance. :" President Roosevelt said, "The fact that so much was done in brief preparatory period this year justifies | the establishment of this work on a permanent basis"

Success Story Of These Girls
 Should Be Told In Double Talk
TWIN, TALENTS OF PHlLADELPE4IAS LEIBOWITZ TWINS GIVE THEM PARALLEL CAREERS UNIQUE IN ART WORLD
By NEA Service

AAJ 1NAlfA OCANALL
 Philadelphia - The twin talents of twin sisters, whose artistic pro- gress Philadelphians have watched with pride for some time, have cul- minated at the city's ace art gallery with the first joint exhibition of their paintings.
 The girls are Freda and Ida LeiboWitz, 9, plump, blonde, iden- tical twin daughters of Harry Leib- owitz. a shoemaker, Despite his pro- saic work. he has long prided him. self on his artistic bent.
 The 50 pictures in the joint eX- hibition by the girls were water colors, oils and black and white drawings made by them in Mexico last summer, and included an oil portrait of Freda by Ida and one of Ida by Freda. Critics praised their work. But praise for their art came early to the sisters LeibowitZ. THEY GOT OFF
 TO EARLY START
 When they attended grammar school they became the pride of their parents and of the entire neighborhood. They always got the same high marks, and were always sketcfing twin" pictures of cats, dogs and their fellow students on the pages of their copy-books.
 Before they even got to high school, both their teachers and their parents recognized their ar tistic abilities and sent them to the Graphic Sketch Club, an endowed art school where potential artists, young and old, are given training free.
 At the Graphic Sketch Club, the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-20

competition sponsored by the Car negie Museum in Pittsburgh, Freda won prizes in the pencil, charcoal and water color fields and had her works exhibited at the Carnegie In- stitute in 1885.
 The next year, she and Ida to- gether won twenty-siX out of thirty possible prizes under the auspices of the same institute.
 PRIZE-WINNING BECAME A HABIT
 Genuine fame now came the girls way. Offers of scholarships came from several noted art institutes. Now, for the first time, the girls separated. They thought it would be good for them to see how separate schooling would affect their work.
 This year, 1940, Ida got second prize in an etching contest at the Graphic Club. Freda had come off with that honor three years be- fore. Tthe Moore Institute this past June gave Ida a prize in the Pic torial Expression class, and Freda won the pr. Packard Annual Draw ing Prize.
 We're not absolutely, exactly alike" said the one who said she is Freda, for to an interviewer it is impossible to tell the difference between the two girls. Ida pre- fers to paint in oil and prefer black and white and etchings. Ida says I am the better artist but I think that's difficult to tell.
 We both think human beings make the most interesting sub jects for painting and we both like to go to court and sketch them in their times of real emotion"

Abetz, Diplomat, Mai Model
By AIILTON BRONNER
NEA Service stan Corresponds

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Exceeding in fact any fiction about the poor young pacifist and internationalist who became the rich servant of dictators is the news that Otto Abetz, as Ger man ambassador to occupied France, has visited Vichy to con- vey Hitler's displeasure over La- val's dismissal.
 Abetz, still this side of 40, is the son of a poorly paid German estate manager. After finishing his schooling he became a drawing teachers. He was confirmed pact- fist.
 Then the same fate that grabbed a wine salesman named Ribben- trop, put him into close touch with Hitler and thus made possible his being German foreign minister, put Abetz across the path of the cabineteer. Ribbentrop quickly made him an ardent Hitlerite.
 Ribbentrop, back in 1888, sent his young pupil to Paris as sort of unofficial agent of his own.
 Then Premier Edouard Daladiel discovered a widespread network of Nazi espionage. Abetz was con sidered the head of it. June 30 1889, he was kicked out of France.
 A little more than a year after that event, Hitler sent that same Otto Abetz back to fallen Paris.

FINLAND MOURNS
 LATE PRESIDENT
KyOsti KalliO, President in Their Critical Years,
 Passes Away

Helsinki, Finland, Dec. 20-(P)- Films were in moruning again to- day.
 KyoSti Kallio, their president for the past three cricila years, in which the war with Russia was fought and lost and the national struggled with a gigantic rehabili- tation problem, was dead.
 In circumstances so dramatic that they might have been conceived by a novelist, the 67-year-old Finn iSh hero collapsed and died in the arms of his former military chief Baron Carl Mannerheim, in view of a crowd that had gathered at rail- way station to bid him farewell as he went into retirement.
 Five hours earlier former Premier Risto Ryti was elected president and Kallio was officially retired. The former president and Mrs. Kalloi were leaving for their country home at Nivala to spend the rest of their days peacefully. They rode in a limousine to the railway station, past crowds lining the sidewalks to cheer.
 At the station Kallio paused to review an honor guard, his last pub lie act, and Mrs. Kallio boarded the train. Kallio looked i'll and tired. He wore a thick fur coat and hat, of the type well known to veterans of the Russia war, before entering the station, Kallio paused for one last look at the teeming thousands. Dusk had settled and the scene was lighted by torches. On the station platform he started reviewing the guard. Suddenly he slumped. Baron Mannerheim, for whom the famous fighting line was named, and Ryti, were the first to reach him.
 Cabinet members helped carry the stricken man toward the train. As they reached the steps Kallio mur- mured a few inaudible owrds died in Mannerheim's arms.

BATTERY RECRUITS
 GET FIRST SHOT


 Members of both Battery E and G of the Connecticut National Guard were given typhoid fever inocula- tions last night in the first series of three to be given before the troops are ready for induction January 6. Preceding the inoculations, the con- pany was inspected at the Armory by Lieut. Col. Walton Smith of New Haven, battalion commander, and his adjutant, Maj. Guy Welles.
 There are vacancies up to 167 men in battery E, and Captain Grover c. Baldwin, commander of the battery, expects to get draftees at Camp Edwards, Falmouth, Mass, if the ranks are not filled by the time the unit gets to camp. Cap tain Baldwin issued an invitation to draftees who are considering vol unteering, to join Battery E.
