PRICE CEILINGS
 ON FOODS AIRED.
Ellen Marshall Tells Labor Union U. S. Not in Mar-
 ket for Mutton

Ellen Marshall, consultant of the Consumers Division, OpA, Boston, discussed the application of food price ceilings to the general public at q meeting of the Central Labor Union last night at its rooms in the Garden building. According to the speaker ceilings have not been placed on lamb or mutton, although they have been on beef and pork.
 The speaker explained this was due to the fact the federal govern ment is interested in buying large quanties of beef and pork for our armed forces, but is not in the mar ket for lamb or mutton on large scale.
 Farm products, such as milk and eggs, are not governed by ceilings either, the speaker stated.
 An outline of price control re- quirements was given by Thomas Shea, assistant secretary of the c. L. U., as well as rent control fea- lures.
 Rudolph Tata was chairman of the meeting, while Warren Ducham. financial secretary, and AtwooN Caswel, recording secretary, pre-. sided.

Pastor Believes Church in New Britain Will Be Dee
 dicated in July

New Britain, June 20-This city's newest place of worship, the Church of St. Francis of Assist in Stanley Quarter, will be consecrated during the early part of July, in two or three weeks from now, according to present plans of the parishioners. The solemn dedication will take place less than four months after work on the structure was started and less than nine months after the parish was set up with Rev. James K. Bropfy as the first pastor.
 Although the exact date of the church's official opening and dedi- cation will not be known yet for some days, the ceremony will probably take place on Sunday, July 5, or the following Sunday if one of the bishops of the Hartford Dio- cese is available for one of these days.
 The main part of the new place of worship has been built and the next step in construction is the in- terior decoration and installation of pews, which will be undertaken at once.
 The Ladies Guild of the parish held its last meeting of its first year with dinner at the Indian Hill Country Club Thursday night, with Rev. Joseph Lacey of St. Ann's Church and Father Brophy as guests of honor. The latter thanked the women for the important part they hay eplayed in making 1t pos- sible to erect a church within such a short period after organization of the parish, and Father Lacey spoke of the part women have played since early times in the church.

Not only was Paul Revere one of the fathers of the American Revo- lution. He was also the father of Deborah, Paul, Sarah, Mary, Fran ces, Mary CID, Elizabeth, Hannah, Joshua, John, Joseph, Lucy, Har- riet, John CID, Maria and John GID. So it can't be said he wasn't as enthusiastic parent as he was a patriot, even if he did run little short on names toward the end. HE WAS
 A BUSY MAN
 It seems amazing today-as 1t probably did in Revolutionary Bos- ton-that Revere could have found time for anything except feeding and clothing his children, and talk ing an occasional inventory. But his contribution to the cause of liberty didn't end with the country's first and most famous civilian defense job. He played an active part throughout the war, meanwhile keeping up with business enterprises almost as numerous as his progeny.
 In fact, there was probably a con- nection. He seemed to have more children as he grew more success ful, and as he had more children he had to increase his business to re- main successful. Apparently 1t was & pleasant round rather than a vicious circle. He lived to be 83, and his estate of 10000 early 18th cen- tury dollars was not, as the saying is, hay.
 First Revere was a great silver smith, to which he added sideline of copper engraving. Then he went in for dentistry. Branching out, he bought & hardware establishment and stocked it with as many varied items as a chan drugstore.
 ONE COMPANY
 IS STILL GOING
 He helped organize Americas first mutual fire insurance company. He bought foundry that turned out bells and cannon. It's still doing business today as Revere Copper and Brass, Inc, producing material for the present war.
 In life filled with Is assorted children, two wives, half dozen businesses and a hand in revolu- tion, Paul Revere seems to have had only one serious problem. That was what to do with his leisure time. So he took up cartooning as a hobby.
 Altogether quite a remarkable and admirable gentleman, MT Revere, and a fit hero for 1942 Fathers Day-especially since this years slogan: Honor a Great American-Your Dad" might have been coined for the Revere kids.
