 HOLIDAY QUERY
Optional Date for Thank. giving Already Reveals
 Difference of Opinion

Thanksgiving Day this year, as fin the past two in Connecticut will be observed in the local schools the last Thursday of November, 1t was indicated by the offices of supt. of Schools Thomas J. Condon today.
 It was pointed out however that should Governor Robert A. Hurley decide to comply with President Roosevelt's earlier celebration, (this year on the 20th) the local board will revise its scheduled holiday now listed as November 27.
 As an indication of the probabii- fly that Gov. Hurley will include connecticut among the states to ob- serve the holiday on the goth, the Bridgeport Board of Education yes- terday adopted c calendar for the next school term calling for the earlier date as Thanksgiving.
 Last year, when former Gov. Ray mond E. Baldwin, Republican, pro- claimed the preceding Thursday as the holiday, Bridgeport schools ob- served both days as holidays.
 Mayor Jasper McLevy summed up the Bridgeport attitude in this man. ner: We have 6 Democratic Pres ident and a Democratic governor. They ought to agree on that"

Catholic Information
Why do Catholics pray to Mary?

the hour of our death. (No wor. ship, just a plea for our Blessed Mothers prayers now and just be- fore we are to meet our God)
 The Catholic devotion to the Blessed Virgin is so beautiful, so inspiring, SO wei authenticated, that we cannot understand why the Religious Revolutionists of the sixteenth century could, with any sincerity, throw out the Queen of Heaven from their churches, allow ing the Catholic Church alone to fulfill Mary's own prophecy: From henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Luke 1-48.
 Mary, the Mother of cod, has been immortaIized by poem and prose, by painting and sculpture. by song and by prayer, down through the ages. Would you like to hear more about Mary-her Immaculate Conception, the Virgin Birth, her stainless life and the Assumption of her body as well as soul into Heaven? Write us for details oi this beautiful and helpful devotion or for information on any Catholic subject. Address: !. c. M., ?. O Box ai2e.

NEED FOR HEART
 DOCTORS GREATER
Increasing Proportion of Old People in U. s. Great.
 ing Demand

The increasing proportion of old people in the population Of the United States will create m increas- ing demand for more doctors. in the future, particularly those spe- cializing in heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, according to the Eta- tisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company.
 Explaining that the average age of the American population has been increaSing fer number of years and is certain to continue, the Statisticians gay that the "lm- pact of these changes will be felt, especially in the field of medicine, because tho prevalence and charac- ter of sickness iil the community are greatly influenced by the age composition of It's people"
 Formerly, 6 combination of high birth rate and heavy immigration made the United States c country of youthful people. The proportion of children and young adults was large, and that Of older persons naturally was correspondingiy small. Now, however. the statisti. clans explain, the birth rate has dropped more than third since the turn of the century, and iinmigra- ton has practically ceased. This has resulted in an increase In the proportion of persons ct ages 06 and over from 4.i per cent at the beginning of the century to 0:S per cent at the present time. During that period, the number of persons aged 65 or over increased from 3.0eo0O0 to 0,o00, 900. Forty years from now. 1t is expected that old people will constitute i4 per cent of our population and will number about 22000,000.
 The statisticians say that "the chances of q newborn child reaching age 66 are today as great as were the chances of reaching age 50 only 90 years ago." and add that Icon. tinued improvement in mortality should ultimately enable three quar- ters of the infants to reach their 6bth birthday. AS a result of this aging process, emphasis in medical practice is already changing and is bound to change even more strik. ingly in the future"
 Some Of the diseases of old eRe which are constantly requiring more medical attention because of in. creased incidence due to the greater proportion of old persons in the to- tal population, are the degenerative diseases of the circulatory system and Kidneys; cancer; diabetes; and pneumonia and other respiratory ailments Accidents, and falls in particular, are also considerable cause of disability and death in old ARe.

many texts on religion and religious music, some of which were publish ed in four languages. He has taught his courses in 10 volumes for many instruments. Many have utilized his great knowledge of music, as chil- dren have formed orcheStras, cholrs, and bands which have netertained not only in Protestant churches, but also in social programs by Italian groups. There are university pro- fessorS and doctors and nurses and opera singers out in the world who were the pride of MT. Codella's heart and who praised him for the help @ dnservice he gave them in the years gone by.
 Rev. Coelella has had the longest continuous pastorate in the city of Waterbury of any Protestant min ister now in service.

CHURCH MERGER
 TO BE STUDIED
Three Denominations In. volved in St. Louis As.
 sembly May zz.z8

St. Louis, May i7. (Up)--It ape pears probable that proposals for merging three church denomina- tions will be discussed here May 22-28, ct the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States.
 Churches involved are the United Presbyterian Church, the Presby. terian Church in the United States and the Protestant Episcopal Church leading with 1900 900 mem. bers.
 Negotiations looking toward such Q merger have been underway for Q year and tentative plans probably will be presented to the assembly for approval. It Is not anticipated, however, that definite action would be taken at this assembly.
 First business to come before the assembly will be election of a n1od~ orator and for this position two important churchmen are candi- dates. They are The Rev. Dr. Henry Sloane Coflln. president of the Union Theological Seminary of New oYrk, and The Rev. Dr. Herbert Booth Smith. pastor of Immanual Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles.
 Highlighting the sessions will be the attitude of the church toward national defense with stress on ways and means of cooperating with federal authorities, particular ly army and navy chapiains. In. volved in this are problems created by conscientious ob]ectors and their care. Also scheduled for discussion will be the problem of morals and other phases of protecting soldiers and sailors In areas near camps and stations.
 A fve-man committee will report findings resulting from an investi- gation of tho service pension plan of the churc under which 10000 minister's and other church ef1n. ployes are protected. The problem here is lower income yields from investments calls for any change iE1 pension rules.

Naturally, tho pro- gram has to begin with those people now most accessible and most sen- Sitive to one another-at present those who can be reached in the English tongue. The programs long, range objective is to contribute to human solidarity throughout the world"
 Discussing the series, Goodman who is executive secretary of the department of religious radio of the Federal Council of Churches said

Catholic devotion to the Mother of Cod has been the custom in the Church from the earliest days of Christianity. This is proved by the writings of the early Fathers and by the still extant relics in the catacombS.
 But, remember, all our prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary have just two purposes. First, pleasing Almighty God, by hoinortng, rever. ing and praising His Mother, upon whom He conferred the highest of honors. Second. to plead for her intercession before the throne oi God for our worthy needs.
 This is typified by our great and most frequently used prayer N Mary-the Ave Mario:
 Hall Mary, full of Grace. The Lord Is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. (Wordk of honor, praise and exalt@tion spoken hy the Angel Gabriel and St. Elizabeth, as shown in your owzl Bible. Luke 1, 23-42)
