 Fine" said Carl. Now help me. want to dig up that row of black poppies near the house, and re- plant them down the path we've walked. Do you think I can?'
 Why, yes" said the grand mother.
 So they worked very hard in the moonlight: Santa, Carl, King Harald, and the grandmother. Carl dug great, square chunks of earth around the roots of the poppieS, and Santa and the King carried them carefully down the path to the river and re set them.
 When they had reached the last poppy, Carl said, This we'll save. He went quickly down the path and gently snapped the head of each poppy so that it fell over but chung to the stem. The grand- mother Uttered as she watched. She said to Santa, T see. No witch can sleep in a poppy that's hanging upside down.

LINES CHANGED BY
 WEALTHY PARENTS
Delegation of Mothers Ob- tain Inquiry Into School
 Boundaries

An appeal for 6 readjustment of school boundaries, or rather a re- turn to the boundaries which pre- vailed until four or i've years ago in the Abbott school area, was voiced by 8 delegation of mothers at the meeting of the board of edu- cation last evening.
 Complaints were based particular ly on the combining of children of two grades into one room at the Kingsbury school, on the greater distance which some of the children of the North End have to travel to school than was necessary under the old boundaries, and on the class and wealth distinctions which some parents make between the two schools.
 The parents appeal received sup- port from Comsr. John J. Kearney and other members of the board. and Mayor Vincent A. Scully. pre- siding at the meeting. accordingly named the rules committee to make an immediate investigation of this specific situation. and report back to the board at the next meeting.
 The delegation of mothers insist ed that Abbott school needed great CT attendance, while Kingsbury school is overcrowded. that Abbott school is much nearer to Fern and York streets and Fern circle. and consequently that the streets in question should be included i'm the Abbott district. They complained that the boundaries had been changed i've years ago only through the efforts Of some of the wealtAler residents of the neighboThccd, who preferred to have their children at-

Catholic Thought And Opinion

University of Pennsylvania. The award was made by Q committee composed of clergy and outstanding Catholic laity is analogous to that of the Laetare Medal given each year by the University of Notre Dame to an outstanding Catholic layman.
 Mrs. Mccormick, who is the first woman ever to become Q member of the editorial staff of the New York Times, began her career in news paper work with newspaper which is now the Catholic Universe Bulle- tin, the official organ of the diocese of Cleveland. Her first contribution to The Times was in l022 and in the years that have gone by she has won many honorS, high-lighted in 1887 by the Pulitzer Prize award for the most distinguished foreign cor. respondence. Today, one of the most able of American newspaper writers, she Is recognized as on authority on national and international politics. DYsCORDANT> NOTES
 The following is taken from the Catholic Standard and Times of Philadelphia:
 The American citizen realizes that once again he must pay the piper for a tune he may not have ordered played, and which is extremely ab. horrent to him. He finds himself obliged to strip needed weapons from his defense forces; he finds himself ga 1,,tiv.a akAaisk(a aseataAe aa hNaNFA brothers: he finds himself paying more to live than the citizens of the dominions of England. These notes form c grating discord.
 Unwilling American citizens must further the Red scourge of ComIl1un. ism because we have been persuaded that such course Is @ means of ending the Na1 tyranny. As Q con- sequence, the official alliance bind. ing England and the United States to 0 common objective loses some of It's assurances of self-determina. ton for nations and of the right of the individual to Q free way ce life. These sections of the agreement are mere shibboleths, wordy niceties without meaning.
 It is worth noting that English dispatches covering the Churchill Roosevelt meeting stress the fact that 1t was held ct this nations in- sistence. Are the English already washing their hands of the fate of this nation as 1t blindly sets foot on the trail to destruction previously trod by every other ally of England in the present debacle?

SPELLACY FAVORS
 STATE DIRECTOR
Government May Name FuIl.Tine PriOrities
 Supervisor

The government will appoint c full-time prioE!ties director for Con- necticut to handle applications for materials needed to keep nota.de- fense industries operating, 1t was reported today. Such an appoint ment would also facilitate the ef- forts of the state and municipal governments to secure materials re" qulred for public projects.
 Mayor Thomas Spellacy of Hars- ford, who has been pressing 10: the appointment of Q prioritieS director for this state, said today he had re- ceived assurance that such An ap. pointment would be made.
 At present applications for pri- critics are handled through Boston or Washington, with manufacturers claiming long delays in the hand ling of their requests.
 opening of priorities ofiice in this state. it Is believed, would avert a threatened serious situa. ton facing many manufacturers, If they continue to be unable to se- cure materials needed for regular operations they will be forced to make additional layoffs or perhaps eventually forced to shut down.
 A state priorities ofiice would also make 1t easier to secure materials for such public projects as Water bury's projected pipe line and new reservoir. This city has already ap- piled at Washington for Q priority rating.
 Yesterday State Labor Commis- sioner Cornelius J. Danaher report cd much "uneasiness" among manu- facturers about the future unless they are assured of adequate sup- plies of materials. He pointed out that 6 metals shortage has already caused some layoffs in Waterbury, while shortages of other materials have forced layofis elsewhere.
