REV. DIR. JAMES F. GREGG of the Committee on the Ministry oS the Conference of the Congre' gatIonal Christian Churches of Con- necticut.
 The letter which Dr. Gregg reat to his congregation yesterday morning follows
 20 April, l94l. To the Members of the First
 Church in Waterbury,
 My Dear Friends:
 Eleven and Q half years ago to- day, you did me the honor of ask ing me to become the minister or this church These years have been for me Q period of interest," ing and rewarding activity, b'ing- ing me friendships which l shall cherish as long as I live. The age which l have now reached--sixty- five-is commonly accepted as q proper time for retirement from the larger responsibilities of many offices and professions; and would seem quite clearly such in the case of most parish ministers.
 I therefore ask you to accept my resignation of the pastorate oi this church; this resignation to take effect, If you are willing, on the first of next November. By that time, our celebration Of the Church's 250th Anniversary will have been carried through, and, as I hope, you will have secured my successor, so that there will be no unfortunate interval Of "idiing" machinery between pas torateS.
 Under competent younger lead- ership, I am convinced that the First Church in Waterbury can 20 forward into an increasingly wider and deeper service to this community and to the Kingdom Of God. May He so guide and pros- per you always.
 Faithfully your friend and min ister, JAMES E. GtESad'

TURBULENT DRAMA NOW FEATURED AT
 CAPITOL THEATRE
Jean Arthur Stars in Wes- ley Rugg|es Produt-
 lion Arizona"

A flaming romance set amid the sun-drenched splendor of the Ari- zona desert, amid the stirring tur- bulence of a mighty era, Colum- bias Arizona" opened yesterday at the Capitol Theatre with Jean Arthur starred in the most trium- phant role of her sensational career
 Tucson, Arizona, in 1860, was more than 400 years old and yet, it was as new as the great South west itself. It was jumping-off place on the far frontier, a sane tuary for the gold-seekers bound for California, hiding place for the riotous killers who moved west with civilizations advance. And, in Tucson, Phoebe Titus battles the new worlds bad men, and dreams of some day owning the greatest ranch in the Arizona territory. When Peter Muncie rides into town, he refuses to share her dream, because he wants to see California. But he promises to return, and one day he does re, turn.
 Tucson faced savage Indian tribes alone and unprotected when Army troops were called East with the beginnings of the Civil War; Tue son stood up under the arrival of the Confederate soldiers, n d cheered again when the Southern Army was chased away by soldiers advancing from California. Peter Muncie, sergeant, U.S.A., thus re- turns to Tucson and to Phoebe, and this time he decides to stay.
