 Bodies as large as a division, though their strength was mostly just on paper, used to be scrattered all over the military map of the " s. and its world outposts. But the Army gradually has been re- assembling them, 1t was explain ed, SO that they can be trained as real fighting teams. At the same time, though, the Second has been hit pretty hard by the need for crack regulars as instructors; 1000 recently were detached to teach recruits.
 Even at that, this model division is better off than most. For eXam- pie, 1t is completely equipped with Garand rifles, though many civilians probably haven't even realized that that many of the new rifles have been manufactured. At Fort Sam Houston, too, there seem to be plen- ty of the much desired 37 nm. ex- plosive- shell anti-tank guns, besides heavy and light 50 and 30 caliber machine weapons. Also 60 nm. and 8l nm. infantry mortars. (The former is new and very useful; one man can pick up such @ mortar and scamper through the bruSh)

Most Rev. Maurice ?. McAuliffe, bishop of Hartford, has issued his annual Easter letter which was read in the Catholic churches of the diocese last Sunday. Easter" he writes, "is the feast of the triumph of the Savior over sin, death and the grave. It points to blessed im- mortality where we shall be happy with God and his angles, and saints forever" The complete text of the letter follows: Dear Father:
 The Annual Collection for Dio- cesan Charities will be taken up on Easter Sunday. Easter is the feast of the triumph of the Savior over sin, death and the grave. It points to a blessed immortality where we shall be happy with God and His Angels, and saints forever. It is the confirmation of the Lords word T am the Resurrec- ton and the Life; He that be- lieveth in Me, although he be dead, shall live, and he that liveth and believeth in Me shall not die for- evet."
 Reward for Faithful
 Easter bids us look up to another life as a reward for the faithful following of Christ. It treasures us of the truth of our faith, the substance of our hope and the perfection of our love. We again hear the words of the Master of life and death "Where I am, my servant shall also be-" It dissipates the materialism of this world. It makes us realize the emptiness of worldly pleasure and vanity and becomes the norm and rule of a happy life. Whata source Of gen. uine joy and happiness Easter affords and guaranteesi
 We are all children of the Father in heaven who loves us with an eternal love. He rewards every good deed and sanctifies us with an eternal love. The blessed irn- mortality of which Easter assures us, is the only truth that brings us unbroken peace. St. Paul de- clares Eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither has 1t entered into the mind of man to conceive what God has prepared for those that love him." What constant keep sake for the persevering soul! Whether this life be long or short, death merely opens the gate to the possession and love of God for all eternity. In world of time and mid the chaos of modern civili- zation, how uplifting and en- couraging is 'that blessed word "I am the Ressurrection and the Life"
 Good Works
 Faith without good works is dead. It profiteth man nothing. By word and deed Our Redeemer teaches us the true love of God and our neighbor. He identifies Himself with the poor, the sick, little children outcasts, the sinner. His life is summed up by St. Peter He went about doing good" He made use of His Divine power to hJsp, to alleviate and to stren- then the poor-"I have compass sion on the multitudes." He fed them in the desert; He gave the poor an eminent place in Life's various courses: T was hungry and you gave me to eat: was thirsty and you gave me to drink; I was stranger and you took me in; naked and you covered me; sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to me Amen I say to you. as long as you did 1t to one of these, my least

Second Divisions Great Concentration Of FnePower Mal
h < k
BY PAUL HARRISON NEA SerYcle Stan COrreAnnndenf

NEA Servc1e Stan correspondent
 Fort Sam Houston, Tex, April 8 If you should happen to need some strictly modern fighting done, by an old, reliable organization, tel- ephone Cathedral 84l1 at San An- tonic and ask for the Second Di- vision. It's prepared as is no other U. s. military establishment to serve you.
 The celebrated Second is pre- pared because, ever since June, 1887, 1t has been monster martial guinea pig for experiments in streamlined organization and the evolution of new tactical units. It has been training some troops as heavily armed combat teams to be transported by air for surprise at- tacks. It has developed new, long, CT range and faster reconnaissance force.
 The entire division is especially strong in fire power and mobility to get there first and pour the most lead. Today 1t is this nations dead- Hest striking force on land.
 SECOND DIVISION HAS
 A COLORFUL HISTORY
 Long before Hitler'S blitzers romp- ed over the low countries, U. s. strategists were figuring on an ar- rangement which could combine fancy footwork with hard jabs, and still unlimber few haymakers the instant an opponent became little boggle-eyed. The Second Division of the Regular Army was an easy choice for such trial training be- cause during the earlier fracas 1t had travelled far into the German lines and captured more prisoners and material than any other outfit.
 Incidentally, 1t also won more French and American decorations, and the entire personel of the division today wears the fourra- gerre of the Croix de Guerre-- fancy cord looped on the left shoulder, with a dangling little gold business resembling 8 scep- ter. All such things, together with the brave history of Fort Sam Houston itself, make good listening for proud and wide-eyed selecteeS in barracks these nights.
 A few traditions seem to make quite Q difference in the morale of recruits who haven't got a real war to spurt their fervor. At other camps his correspondent has wis., tied, the attitude of the selectees is one of willingness but definite ly not of enthusiasm. MEN ACTUALLY
 WANT DISCIPLINE
 We haven't even eased up on discipline here, because the majority of the men actually want It," said It. Col. James 0. Short, of the di- vision staff. "They have shown that they want to be soldiers, at least while they're here. It's encouraging that about half of the green men at Fort Sam Houston are three-year- enlistments. And of the one-year

Plans of the Waterbury Lions cub to construct a new dormitory at the children's camp at Bantam lake were described by James A. Millar, president of the club, over a broad- cast on VERY last night.
 MT. Millar sind that more than 100 children were able to take ad- vantage of the camp last summer through the agency of the Chil- drens Health Foundation, Inc, or ganized, maintained and supported by the club.
 "A great demand for additional health facilities exist" MT. Millar said, strange as 1t may seem, with all of the agencies available to care for crippled, undernourished and underpriviledged children"
 The summer health camp oper- ated by the Lions club was started seven years ago on small farm in Woodbury and until 1t has reached It's present location on the shores of Bantam lake.
 MT. Millar said: "The health foun- dation for children Is the major ac- tivity of the Lions club. No member o fthe Lions club Is paid and instead he contributes not only of his time but also financially"
 The club appeals each year for the public to contribute toward the opration expenses at the camp Charles Greenblatt heads the drive this year which starts Monday and continues through to April "A.
 In concluding his radio address MT. Millar said that he hoped the good citizens of Waterbury who had helped in previous years to main. tai nthis farm would renew their support and that others would do- nate toward the work.

Easter Sunday Bishop McAulife in Episcopal Letter Points Out Significance of Glorious Occasion - Pays Tribute to Achievements of Diocese Voices Gratitude for Generous Support.

brethren, you did 1t to Me-" He blessed and caressed little children and told his followers that as long as they received one such little child in His name, they received Him. He blessed the good Samar- itan for his good works, rewarded Zacchaeus for ihs hospitality and bade the sinner go and sin no more.
 Easter Sunday affords us another opportunity to prove our faith and our good works. Our people are known for their generosity. No appeal for 0 worthy cause is made without @ generous response. The organization of our charities in this Diocese is perhaps more vig- orous and efficient than anywhere else in the United States. This is due to the admirable cooperation of the priests and people with the chief shepard. Our institutions of charity are doing an excellent work; the aged are sheltered, little CAtAAdAVh ACotVAVo dAAA AiCiPSA AA their growing years, the delinquent given a new start in life and the unfortunate of every class cared for.

Army Designs Division For Deadly Attack
"Blitz" Unit

There are light armored cars mounting three types of auto matic weapons, huge fleets or trucks, four wheeled drive com mand cars, and new four wheeled drive midgets which largely will replace motorcycles. Cycles found the going pretty hard during last years southern maneuvers, in which the lesson of more advanced recon naissance also was learned.
 One thing that division officers say they lack and need Is Erahs- port planes, or at least the avail ability of large ships, for training the Heavy Weapons battalions for just such a maneuver as Germany used in capturing Rotterdam air. port: first, parachute troops landed and cleared the field; then, immediately, transport piane5 swarmed in with automatic guns, small cannon and crack fighters to man them. @
 In an open area here at Fort Sam Houston is a dummy fuselage of a transport ship which would do credit to Hollywood's replica makers. But this copy is for prac- tice in loading and unloading men and equipment in hurry.
 Incidentally, this correspondent has been told (though not at this post that a plan Is cooking for a trial mobilization of large num- bers-perhaps all--of commercial transport planes. At secretly pre- arranged time, all passenger service would be suspended, may be for 24 hours, while the ships gathered up troops and rushed them to some hypothetical danger point.
 A TRIANGULAR
 TACTICAL SET-UP
 AS a model for the streamlining of all 10 Regular Army divi- sions, the Second is called "tri- angular" The tactical idea, as Colonel Short explained 1t for layman, is that its main compon- ents are three infantry regiments. any two of which can become the spearhead of an attack, with the third in support.
 The pattern is carried all the way doWn-three battalions ln 9 regiment, three companies in 9 battalion, three platoons in Q com pany, three squads in a platoon A platoon, however, has an at' tached squad of automatic rifle. men, who in theory could stand in the middle of the triangle and bang away in any direction. In exactly the same way, the trian-- gular division itself incloses a lot of heavy artillery.
 Anyway, it's big outfit, witt 15,074 weapons and 1841 trucki and cars. Except for the Il chap lains, the medical men and divi' sion headquarters clerks, every body Is an armed fighter - from the general to the triangle tinkleJ ] in the band.

From corn.husks to innersprings. In the space of one century sleeping comfort has advanced from state of physical unrest to of complete rest. Along about 184 mattresses were first made out of bag filled with cOrnhusks That was luxury in those days and remained so until about 1875 when mattresses began to be filled with excelsior. In 1885 moss from the marshes of Georgia and Alabama was used instead of excelsior Then at the turn of the century we had cot ton mattresses which remained the vogue in form or another until the World War when the first inner. spring mattresses made.
