Repairing Renovizing . Modernizing Home
WeHave Held Fast to the
Traditions of Our
Founder
Ninety.two years is long time to
pursue principle and adhere to a
policy. But that is what The Eberly
Plan has done-increasing in efficiency
with experience; meriting confidence
by consistent performance. Thus, The
Eberly Plan has become an exclusive
and unique institution in the home life
of Greater Washington.
Because of The Eberly Plan you can
make those renovizing and undermining
changes in your home so easily by
conferring with one of our Supervisors.
He will simplify the most complex
problem; relieve you of the numerous
complications when many trades are
brought in-each with its separate and
necessary overhead, pyramiding costs
and dividing responsibility.
Under The Eberly Plan ALL the work
is done by Eberly Craftsmen - with
our ONE modest overhead-and your
safeguard in the ONE responsibility
which is OURS.

Of Washington discussions with
Brazilian Foreign Minister Aranha,
agreements were concluded providing
for broad understanding on a
variety of fronts, primarily economic
and financial. They pledged our
assistance in developing Brazil's
agricultural production and bolster
ing her fiscal structure. The plan
involved some S120,000,0 600 of Amer

facilitate United States exports and
to enable Brazil to set up a genuine
central bank. An underlying pur-
pose is to thWart the German threat

her destroyers and naval armament

partment has long been aware of
the influences at work to undermine
our friendship with Brazil. These
elements are principally German

rected from Europe. A couple OF
years ago subversive maneuvers led
to temporary breaking off of
diplomatic relations between Rio
and Berlin. In March of this year

FATHER DAMIEN
LECTURE THEME
John q. Gilmartin Adj
dresses Catholic WOm-
ems Council on Martyr

John G. Gilmartin, principal of
Duggan and Begnal schools, and
supervisor of night schools, gave
a graphic account last night of the
life and work of Father Damien,
born Joseph de Veuster, among the
lepers on the island of Molokai in
Hawaii, Mr.. Gilmartin was the
guest of the Waterbury Council of
Catholic Women in their monthly
open meeting at the Diocesan Blu
reau, Sc Church street. Mr.. Gill
martin, who has made a detailed
study of this holy man, who went
to Hawaii In 1864 and to Mo-
lokai in 1873, dying there in 1889,
outlined briefly the life of Joseph
de Veuster Belgian, a seventh son,
born OF modest peasant people, who
aspired to the priesthood, later
taking holy orders.
Mr.. Gilmartin told of Damien's
going to Hawaii and his great desire
to minister to the doomed lepers
on the island where these miser-
able unfortunates were transported
to live and die in their misery. He
told how Damien improved condi-
tons there, and ministered to
these people, diseased in body and
mind; how he improved living con-
ditions, and ministered to their
spiritual needs; and how he, Faith
er Damien, eventually succumbed to
the disease, living five years after
he had first contracted the dread
leproSy. Mr.. Gilmartin in his dis
course commented on the well
known tribute of the noted author,
Robert Louis Stevenson, to Father
Damien.
Mrs. George Goggin, chairman of
the council, presided at the meet
Ing and reported that the annual
drive for membership of the coun-
Gil would open with luncheon on
Saturday, May II, closing early in
June. Mrs. Matthew Colwell was
hostess at a social hour following,
assisted by the ladies of the Sacred
Heart parish.
