 Gov.Elect Hurley, during his two year term starting in January, will have the duty of appointing r state commissioners and Il high-court judges.
 Com. James M. Lynch
 One local appointment comes up before MT. Hurley takes office, that of Compensation Commissioner James M. Lynch. His. term expires Jan. 1, when Gov. Baldwin will still be in office, and 1t will be for Gov. Baldwin to 6eoide whether or not he is to be retained for another five-year term.
 Considerable pressure Is being ex- erted on the governor to replace Commissioner Lynch with Nauga- tuck Valley Republican, in an effort to build up G. o. P. fences for the 1922 state election. Tn fact, several Waterbury and Valley lawyers are already seeking the postl However, Commissioner Lynch's record in the compensation court has won him many friends in both major parties and important influence will be used on behalf of his reappointment.
 Among the major commissioner ships to be filled are highway health, motor vehicles, two public utilities posts, finance, public works tax. liquor control, statute revision athletics dairy and food, milk, agri- culture. domestic animals and aeronautics.
 Four superior court judgeships will be open, as well as judgeships on the common pleas benches al Hartford, New Haven, New London and Litchfield counties and of the Waterbury district, and the Dan- bury traffic court.

Rev. J. Francis Sugrue of Bridge port, native of this city, stated that the birth control movement started 1850 years before Christ and was not, as many believed, some thing modern. in a lecture last evening at the Adult Forum of Catholic Doctrine h the K. of C.. hall in bridgeport. Father Sugrue's outlined the history of the move- ment in continuing his weekly course of lectures on Marriage"
 Father Sugrue said in part
 Tt is rather amusing to hear the modern proponents of onaniSm of- fer the warning that, through un- limited human fertility. the earth is in danger of overpopulation, when the ancients of four thousand or more years ago uttered the same warning.
 And four centuries before Christ the great Greek philosopher Plato --and after him his distinguished disciple, Aristotle--w worried great deal about the earth's becoming so crowded that there would soon be standing room only. In fact, over population was a constant night mare haunting the pagan age of Greece and Rome. But, despite the fears of pagan antiquity, the feared overpopulation of the world has not come to pass, although nearly three thousand years have passed since Plato uttered his warning?
 Mercy Killing Denounced
 Rev. John j. Bennett of Bridge port denounced euthanasia or mercy killing. He said: down deep in our hearts we all know that If we hasten the death of any human being, 1t is either murder or suicide and no fancy name we ever give 1t can make it anything less"
 The proposed euthanasia bill to legalize, by doctors, the killing of suffering and incurable patients, Father Bennett said, lis one of the most dangerous attacks ever made on the rights of man. It Is danger ous because 1t proposes to legalize murder and thus to do away with one of the safeguards a civilized nation guarantees to all it's citizens be they useful members of society or not"
 Father Bennett declared that some favor the painless destruction of incurables "and others go even further and include habitual crim- inals and the hopelessly insane. These people are of the attitude that if the Ten Commandments, or any one Of them, stand in the way of their humanitarian views, they should be abolished
 Who is to decide what is incur able and what is not? Will the painless destruction of cancer pa- tientS wipe out cancer or safeguard others from its attack? Can any one of us picture ourselves in con- sultation with the family doctor, de- ciding whether a father or mother or any member of the family should be put paisllessly out of their suf- fering?"
 Suffering Not Evil.
