CHINESE BRAVE
 AYERS SPEAKER
Rev. Arthur Rinden De- scribes Experiences as
 Missionary in China

Speaking on the effects of Chris tianity on Chinese victims of the Japanese invasions yesterday morn ing at the Bunker Hill Congrega- tional church, Rev. Arthur o. Rim den of the American Board of com missioners for Foreign Missions stated the Chinese showed not only unusual bravery under attack, but also . fine regard for their fellow man, while the non-Christian Chi nese were concernde mostly with saving their own skin.
 MT. Rinden, who arrived in this country from China last summer, had many hazardous experiences. in and around the often bombed city of nbochow. For three years he remained in China to carry on mis- sionary work for the unfortunate Chinese.
 Most of his work took him to rl- arl sections of Foochow province. He told of river trips when Japa- nese bombers overhead rained tons of destruction on civilian popula- tions, describing the bravery of Chi nese soldiers who remained at their posts.
 The missionary doctors were the only modern medical men available for populations of 25,000 in the towns, declared Rev MT. Rinden. Under those trying conditions, with epidemics the rule during war times, the missionary doctors achieved a remarkable percentage of cures.
 MT. Rinden was introduced by Rev. Alan M. Fairbank.

ed quick, reliable means of de- termining any outbreak. In every case attendance was normal for a Monday morning. Nothing un- usual in the number of absentees was reported, and apparently Wa terbury thus far has not been hit to any appreciable degree by in- fuenZa."
 The disease, mild in form, has reached the East Coast after jOurneying across the country. It was first noted some weeks ago in California, then began to spread rapidly.
 Repeating his warning of Sat- urday, Dr. Godfrey urged that anyone suffering from flu or what is commonly identified as grip stay at home, rest and call a doc tor. Isolation of this kind helps to prevent further spread, since cases are almost invariably caused by infection from another person.
 In some New England states, schools have been closed and fac tory and office persOnnels greatly reduced because of the flu.

PEACE OVERTURES
 MAY HEAL BREACH
Governor Meets With Sen= atOr MalOney; Harmony
 May Be Restored in

Efforts to settle differences be- tween the Democratic state organi- zation and the J. Francis Smith U. s. Senator Francis T. Maloney wing are being made to insure full support of Democratic legislators for Gov. Robert A. Hurley's pro- gram. The peace move, initiated last month, resulted in luncheon conference last week in which Gov. Hurley and MT. Smith took part.
 Goodness between the groups was noted during the campaign but fac- tional interests were submerged in the interests of an election victory. Subsequently there have been signs of harmony "feelers" and the be- lief is that a peace agreement will soon be reached. Senator Maloney made a special trip from Washing ton to attend the inaugural ball for Gov. Hurley, and the governor has invited Mrs. Maloney and her chill dren to ride in his special car to the inauguration of President Roosevelt next week. MT. Smith was present at the inaugural ceremonies and chatted with his successor as state chairman, John T. Mccarthy.
 One development expected is a conciliatory gesture by Coy. Hurley toward the Democratic town com- mittee of Waterbury. The governor and MT. Mccarthy came to Senator George T. Culhane's Victory Din- ner here last month despite urging by the town committee not to at tend, Town Chairman Maurice F. Tangney declaring that MT. Hur- leys presence would be "an af- front"
 Senator Maloney, MT. Smith and the local town committee supported ex-Gov. Wilbur L. Cross in his un- successful bid for the gubernatorial nomination last fall. However, Mayor Vincent A. Scully, who de- livered the speech nominating Dr. Cross. worked hard during the cam paign for MT. Hurley's election.

 WILL BE DRAFTED
Army Wants Privately Owned Birds; Tri=Town
 Clubs Lend Support

Hundreds of homing pigeons will be provided by the members of the Tri-Town Pigeon Club, made up of men from TerryvilIe, Bristol and Thomaston, to the United States Army, as reported by John Blum, a member of the Terryville Club.
 The army will draft private-own- ed homing pigeons, as a precaution in event of war. Authorities have been in constant touch with club officials, although members have not as yet voted on the offer to send the birds to the army, MT. Blum said he knew members would be glad to cooperate.
 There are about IS members to each club with nearly 100 pigeons to a club, MT. Blum stated, and eX- plained many of these pegeons would not be suitable for the army because of their age. For military use, MT. Blum considers that birds between the ages of three and five years are best.
