The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-17

Most Reverend Maurice F. Me- Auliffe, bishop of Hartford, has indorsed the statewide pedestrian safety campaign being conducted under the auspices of the highway safety commission, and on Sunday requested priests of the diocese to summarize suggestions for safety in their sermons.
 In letter which was sent to all of the parishes Bishop McAuliffe said:
 "The state highway commission for safety will conduct a campaign from December 18th to January 1st, for the purpose of obtaining the cooperation of the citizens of Connecticut in an effort to lessen the number of pedestrian acci- dents. Statistics show that the larger number of highway acci- dents befall pedestrians.
 This is a campaign that con- cerns all of us. It creates a respon- sibility for each one to safeguard his own life and make 8 supreme effort to protect the life and limb of his neighbor. It will act as a caution to all walkers on the highways of Connecticut.
 We must all enter into the

Special Christmas
 Party Arranged For
 Guests Next Sunday
Event Without Precedent in Citys History Gifts Planned to Add More Cheer to YuIetide
 Observance Contributions Asked

One of the most unusual events of the current Yuletide festivities -an event which perhaps has no precedent among local charitable organizations will take place on Sunday, December p, when the Catholic sGuild for the Blird of Waterbury will entertain some 85 sightleSs men, women, and children at a Christmas dinner in the base ment of the Immaculate Conception church.
 The dinner, which will be pre- pared and served by members of the Guild, will mark the first Christmas party in many years for some of these forgotten residents. Suitable gifts will be presented to each blind person and a program of entertainment provided. Similar gifts and dinners will be provided for all blind "shut-ins."
 Retreat Master
 Rev. Joseph Patrick, retreat-mas- ter for the blind at the Passionist Monastery, West Springfield. Mass. will be the guest speaker for the occasion. Rev. Robert Shea, as- sistant pastor of St. Peters church, Hartford, and also diocesan director of the blind, will also address the group as will Joseph Cunningham of Hartford, state president of the Guild.
 The Guild. which was organized in Waterbury last May for the pur- pose of rendering assistance, through various avenues of service, to the many blind persons in this city and neighboring towns, who are either wholly or partially afflicted. is entirely under the direction of volunteer workers who devote many hours of their time to the welfare of these helpless creatures. No de- marcation is made by the Guild as to age, race, creed or color.
 Over 100 blind persons are, al- ready registered with the Guild and additional cases are being enrolled almost daily under its supervision. These include not only Catholics, but an equal number of Protestants, Jews, negroes. among whom are many aged inyalids and bed-ridden patients, some without friends or relatives, who require medicinal care, as well as food and clothing.
 Aid Solicited
 To further the work of this re- gently organized service club par ticularly at this Christmas season, pubic interest is being fostered and financial aid enlisted by the mem oers of the Guild with the result that 1t has been possible to aug ment the original plans of dispens- ing cheer to these dependent souls through the generosity of many friends of the blind.

the big American Admiral. In World War days he received George V of Great Britain aboard the New York. The monarch was accom- panied by the then Prince of Wales, later the Duke of Windsor, and members of Rodman's staff said that as the royal guests were leav- ing the bluff Admiral clapped the King on the shoulder and exclaim- ed:
 You know, that's a mighty fire lad you've got"
 George V was not used to that form of address, but he beamed and later made Rodman an honorary Knight Commander of the Order the Bath. Years later it developed that the Admiral asked that the actual bestowing of the decoration take place in the United States as he didn't wish to kneel before the King.
