BISHOP NAMES
 DAY OF PRAYER
Sunday, Sept. 8, Desig. mated in Letter 10 Priests
 of Diocese

'That God VII save oJW peopl, from the ravages of war aisd guidt our rulers in the way of peace | our constant prayer and supplicaf tiofl," stated Rev. Maurice Fl Mo Auliffe, bishop of Hartford. in q let. ter to all pastors of Catholic churches and read at all masses lasi Sunday morning.
 The bishops letter in full fol lows:
 Deard Father:
 Sunday, September 8th, is desig- mated as day of prayer for peace and concord of nations. "The Peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ" has ever been the theme and substance of the church's prayer. Every day she appeals to the Father of Mercy to establish peace in the hearts of His children. She is mindful that Christ's coming was heralded by the angels as giving glory to God and peace to men of good will Her mandate is to soften the hearts of men and remind them of their duty to God and their fel- 7 lowmen.
 The world which turned away from God now realizes that there ] cannot be any lasting peace with justice till the world returns to God. This return means the ob- servance of His commandments, trust and confidence in His power and love, and submission to His all holy will. The return must be real, genuine and sincere. Prayer under these conditions cannot fail to move the heart of God and end the strife of warning nations.
 Happily for us the day desig- . mated is our Lady's birthday | The Queen or Peace. We feel sure that she will present our offer ings to her beloved Son and op- tain the grace that will life mems minds and hearts out of the mach strorn of iniquity to union with her Divine Son.
 Accordingly, in this Diocese, the Blessed Sacrament shall be ex- nosed in all our parish churches and convent chapels throughout the day. The recitation of the Rosary, the Litany of All saints and the prayer for peace shall terminate the day of prayer. ex- hort our people to receive the Sacraments of Penance and Holy Eucharist on this occasion. visit freouently their churches and beg the all loving God. through the intercession of Mary, to bring peace to warning world.
 That God will save our people from the ravages of war and guide our rulers in the way of peace is our constant prayer and suppli-. cation.
 Asking God to blcss you and your flock, I am
 Sincerely yours in Christ,
 MAURICE F. McAULIFFE,
 Bishop of Hartford.

 FOOD SUPPLY
 A PROBLEM
 In all this Hawaiian defense pre- parednesS, there is close co-opera- tion between the army and navy. There is independent command of the two services, and their old rival- ry still persist. But when the navy goes to sea to play at war, the army has observers abroad. And the other way around.
 If actual war came, there would of course be a unified command. If the war were defensive, the Presi- dent, as commander -in-chief of the army and navy, might designate an army officer as commander -chief. If the war were offensive, the navy would get top rank. Aside from armament two other \ s'roblems loom large in Hawaiian cA efense. First is food.

Even the most casual Japanese tourist, stopping over in Honolulu en route to the states by clipper or steamship, cannot fail to notice and be impressed by the strength of U. s. army, navy and air forces con- centrated in and about the islands. For the average patriotic mainland CT American, alarmed and fearful over he ps tfew months reports and bickerings in Congress, is an in- spring sight to see the concentra- tion of strength in the territory. POWER-FOR

 As the whole world now knows, here now is he U. s. fleet. Here is Pearl Harbor, naval base, equipped for maintenance of hundreds Of war vessels, independent of the main- land.

 You cannot take pictures of these things. But they're there for any and all who have pases and eyes to see, including the Japanese day cans to get jobs on the bgi construc- laborers who swear they are Kor- tion projects. And the point of it all is that you get a big lift and an increased sense of security, false security though it may be, when you see this concentration of armed strength.

Good evening.
sCHooLHoUsE

There it stands
 In the sun of noon, Just as it stood
 Only last June. Nothing has happened
 To ruin or deface, What noble linesl
 What character and grace! The doors are open,
 They invite all in, At given time
 All is quiet as a pin. Inside it will be found
 To be scrubbed and swept, Made most presentable
 By hands adept. Nothing is forgotten,
 Not. a crack in the wall, The blackboards and eraserS,
 The windows wide and tall. There it stands,
 It goes by rule, Bet you have guessed It. The good old school!

Current Political Activities

The contest for the Republican Congressional nomination in the fifth district is becoming more and more a wide open battle. The lower Naugatuck Valley is back ing Carl Lundgren, who is still foreman of the extraordinary grand jury here, though there is some sentiment for his fellow Ansonian, Frederick Mccarthy. In Waterbury, friends are seeking to evacuate the chances of Austin L. Adams, local banker; Col. Roy E.. Rice of Woodbury, who was the candidate two years ago is inter ested again; and Senator Claude Badger of Wolcott has been cam paigning for the past year.
 On the Democratic side of the Congressional picture, Warden John J. Sheridan of Naugatuck says he has not made up his mind about suggestions that he oppose Congressman J. Joseph Smith. The warden promises a public statement later.
 The Waterbury Independent Willkie Club will elect permanent officers within a few days. A Will kie Democrat is being sought to head the organization, which was organized here by Henry Burrall.
 The tug-Or-war for Republican convention delegates pledges for support is underway, now that the slates of delegates have been fil- ed. A battle looms for the probate judgeship nomination, and there may also be a contest for the 18th district Senatorial nomina- tiOn.
 Attorney Michael J. Galullo has been named chairman of the speakers committee for the an- nual outing of the Third and Fourth Ward Republican club. which will be held Sept. 15 at Bradley Grove.
 The fight for the Democratic Senatorial nomination in the l6th is now in the mo holds barred' stage. Democrats are still talking about the blast fired by "Tipper" ConIey, one of the candidates, at J. Francis Smith.
