LOCAL MERCHANTS
 ASK PROTECTION
Petition for Aldermen to License Out.0f.T0wn
 Sea.FO0d Statesmen

Out.of.town sea food merchants may be obliged shortly to share their profits here with the City of Waterbury, c petition being received last evening at the meeting of the board of aldermen, requesting that non resident salesmen be compelled to obtain licenses. The price of aforesaid permits will be $i00 per annum. The request was formally presented to the board by local sea- food market proprietors, John Schot, City Sec Food Market, 1 Brook street; Edward Goldberg, Ed dei's Sea Food Market, n East Main street; John P. Dane, Hemin- way Market, 73 Phoenix avenue.
 The signers of the petition charg- cd that 1t was impossible for local merchants to compete with non- resident merchants as they were in Q position to cut prices, having nc rental or other overhead expense to meet. The matter was referred to the ordinance committee.
 Tn clerk of the board was inc structed to request the police de- partment to remove parking meters from restricted areas. It was speci- fically stated that some of the me- ters are so placed about teh city that they legalize parking too close to fire hydrants, thereby violating a pre- existing law. About six such violations have been noted.
 The board received a communica. ton from Corporation Counsel J. Gregory Lynch suggesting that the U s. government be assessed IS per cent of the total annual rental of the 300 housing units which will be erected shortly for defense work CTS. Under the provisions of the Lanham act the government Is per- mitted to pay fixed sums in place of taxes. It is expected that the rentals will be about $25 or $50 monthly.
 A special meeting of the board will be held Friday at which time the proposal will be discussed more in details.

 Rules Committee
 The Rules Committee of the Board of Education, as e result of last nights meeting, has under con- sideration @ motion to alter the status of teachers on the reserve list.
 Hitherto the latter have been glv- en preference over teachers on the waiting list, but in view of the fact that many reserve list instructors have moved out of town, and will probably never resume teaching here, the board is of the opinion thatt he younger teachers be given precedence.
 The rule, In existence since 1920, has out-lived It's usefulness, 1t was indicated.

Rev. J.F. DOnnelly events, clerical and lay conferences, youth rallies and historical and educational exhibits will be representatives of national organizations and college and youth groups from all parts of the country. On the closing day the Holy Father will honor the Congress with c special broad- cast which will be carried through out the country on . nationwide radio network.
 WHY A EUCHARIsTIC
 CONGRESS?
 The Church has assemblies of rulers, teachers and worshippers to deal with the great matters that concern mans eternal vel. fare. These assemblies are as manifold aS are the interests of the Church. They may be called to explain ono of the great Christian thTuths or to promote one or more of the interests of the Church. Thus we have the 1 Catholic Charities Convention, the Vatholic Student Mission Crusade, the Catechical congress and the rest. Tn the present case, the Eucharistic Congress, the assemble age focuses It's attention on that divine institution, the Holy Eu- Charist of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. This Is the central idea of the Eucharistic Congress, Do 1t regional, national or inter. national.
 What iS the power of the Eu. charistic Congress9 What Is the power that draws together the humble and the great the rich and the poor, the religious and the iaity? The power is the ofn- nipotent power of the Blessed Eucharist. As Catholics they be- 1ieve that after the Conservation of the bread and wine of the Mass, Jesus Christ true God and true Man is really and substantially present in the Blesesd Sacrament.
 Strong In that faith, the thousands and thousands will come from oil parts of the country that they may know the Blessed Sacrament more clearly, value 1t more highly, love 1t more dearly. They will come to aid in making the Blessed Sacrament loved and used, that they and others may have life and have 1t more abund- antly. They will come to honor tho royal presence of Jesus Christ and to make q solemn and public protest against the wickedness and hlasphemous impiety of those who despise His law and reject His Divinity.
 THE coMM0NWEAL AGREES
 Tn the vein of our criticism last week of P. Ms sudden Sol- licitude for the wealfare of the church, we read the following in the current Issue of the Common veal. "There Is one aspect of the German persecution (of the Church) which is of particular intrest to American Catholics. It Is the first persecution of the Church in which the forces that mold public opinion here have been on our side. Charges that found ready acceptance when brought against the Church in other countries have fallen flat this time. Even the immortality trials were discounted. The Nazis have failed to convince anyone outside Germany of the justice of their case"

Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JOSEPH F. DoNNELLY

More desirable, and certainly more honest. would be conslstant indignation against ell persecu- tons. Spain went unheard; Mexi. co still begs Q hearing; and Rus. Sia remains . friendly" nation. We may properly reserve the right to doubt the sincerity of those who pick and choose the evil they would condemn.
 GOD AND THE WAR
 When the war came, men, who ordinarily give little thought to God, raised their voices to the heavens and cried out: Where is dod2" "fiow can cod permit this9" "Why doesn't God stop this war2" And they rant and rage against what they call injustice" of God. But rather than asking where God is, should we not more properly ask, "Where are weS"
 Has God left us or have we not rather left doda Has God failed us or have we failed 0od9 But they ask, "How does God permit this2"
 Monsignor Sheen In his recent radio series replied, For exactly the same reason as God allows you to cut your fingers If you wantonly clutch at q razor. Your bleeding fingers are the red Wit- ness to your rebellion against the laws of reason, for reason should have told you that the razor would cut. Multiply that rebellion against tic Divine reason by millions and you have this war.
 "Hut you ask, "Why does God not stop this warp Who started this war anyway Why does God not stop your headache when you over di1nkP Why does God not suspend you In mid-air if you throw yourself from the top of the Empire State building7 You want God to lot you 90 on vio- lating His laws but to stop visit ing upon you the consequences of your violations. You want God to let you break your promise to love someone until death do you part, but to stop Hitler and Stalln and Mussolini from breaking their promises to live In peace with AL bania, Finland and Austria.
 You want to put your hand over the fro and not Do burned. You want to SOW cookie and reap wheat You want men to forget
 the fatherhood of God and then blame God because they do not act like brothers. If you want to know who started this war, lot us not go to God but to our own consciences, for all nations, in varying degree are guilty-fof ell have abandoned God.
 Finally you ask: Why does not your church do something about this war9 Well why did not you pay attention to the red light be- fore the auto struck you2 Did you accept tho warning Of Leo XIII over fifty years ago, about liberalism leading to collectivism and socialism, Did you not do everything you could to prevent the Church's influence and now complain because 1t Is not inc Auential2 Did you not try to keep the Church weak by saying that religion was for tho individual and not for socletyp Now you blame the Church because it has no control over society. Whom you say Now Is the Caurch's oppor- tunity,' you really mean. Let the Church clean Up the dirty mess which our Goddess existence has brought us, 50 that VIC may 90 back to our Goddess living again.

Vitamins Are Readily
Available In Foods
Much Of Supply However Is
Often Wasted Before
Reaching Table.

Vitamins-those A. B. C. D. ETC.,
substances that help to keep the ma
chinery of our bodies in good working
order are readily available in foods
AS a matter of fact, according to
those who have the most intimate
acquaintance with them, the best
sources of the vitamins that are es-
sential to physical well-being are the
everyday foods-milk, fruits, vege-
tables, whole grain bread, cereals, and
eggs.
However, much of the supply is
often wasted before the foods,
especially vegetables and fruits, reach
the table.
Here are some suggestions from
the Nutritionist of the State Depart
ment of Health as to the best ways
] of preventing this waste.
%"Cook fruit and vegetables whole,
with the skins on. Feeling them and
allowing them to stand before cook
ing causes a loss of vitamins.
Cook food as rapidly as possible.
Steaming is an excellent way of cook
ing vegetables.
Don't use soda to preserve the
green color of vegetables 1t destroys
vitamins. Cook green vegetables with
the cover off the kettle instead.
! "Since some of the vitamins in
vegetables are dissolved in water, use
small amounts of water in cooking
vegetables, and use the water that is
left after cooking in soups, gravies
or as vegetable cocktail, mixed with
tomato juice.
"Do not fry foods if they can be
cooked in some other way. Frying and
roasting are very destructive to
vitamins.
"Store foods at low temperature in
closed containers.
"Of course, the diet must be
adequate. 1t should include quart of
milk daily for children under two
years of age; three cups for children
over two; and two cups for adults
For everyone, it should include two
servings Of vegetables Zone of which
is green or Yellow in addition to po-
tato; two servings of fruit Gone
orange or tomato); an egg; a serving
of whole grain bread or cereal; a
serving of meat or a meat substitute
and butter"

the job had he wanted it, and of Mr.
jerome Frank, the late chairman.
That there is anything in Mr..
Eicher's record as a lawyer, his career
as Congressman or his general in
tellectual equipment to make him a
competent and understanding chair
man is not claimed by those who
know him best. However, they say
that makes little difference, as his
real ambition, like Mr.. Franks, is to
go on the Federal bench. Being chair
man of the SEC, if past performances
are considered, should greatly en-
nance his chances.
= =
But it does make a difference. 1t
makes this difference: Mr.. Roosevelt
had the opportunity to name as chair
man a strong, clearheaded man, under
whom the awful red tape in which the
SEC is enmeshed could have been
measurably unraveled and a construc-
tive, instead of punitive, attitude
adopted in dealing with its problems.
Such a selection would have had a
stabilizing and stimulating effect
Instead, he has put in a man affiliated
with the extreme radicals among the
New Dealers, an original champion of
the death-sentence idea, who enthu-
siastically concurred in the recent
arbitrary and somewhat silly SEC
ruling on competitive bidding, which
was opposed by nearly all American
investment bankers with the eXcep-
ton of one Chicago house which used
to float Insults Securities" 1t is one
of the bad features OF the present
situation that this sort of selection
can be made with practically no pro
test at all.
