Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JOSEPH F. DONNELLY

sionaries. With the exception of New England and Virginia, it was Catholics who discovered, explored and settled the new world.
 After Columbus there were the Cabots, Italian Catholics financed by an English Catholic King, Henry VII. And Cortez, Balboa and Mag ellan were all Catholics. Father Jogues first saw Lake George and called it the Lake of the Blessed Sacrament. A hundred years before Henry Hudson sailed up the Hudson River, the ships of Catholic France and Spain had sailed into New York harbor which they called St. An- thony's Bay and up the Hudson River which they called St. An- thony's River.
 Father Hennipen was the first white man to see and describe the Falls at Niagara. The Great Lakes were discovered and mapped out by Jesuit and Franciscan Mis- sionaries. Father Marquette discov- cred the Mississippi Catholic Span iards first saw the shores of Florida on Palm Sunday, the feast of flow CTS in the Spanish Church, so they called the new land Florida.
 OVERLOOKED PAGES
 So run the overlooked pages of our history. Into the Everglades of Florida and into the forests of Maine and Northern New York, along the water routes of the Mid west and along the roads that open the Southwest and the Pacific went the Catholic missionaries. True they died horrible martyrs deaths, but they saw in the native Americans children of God with souls redeemed with His Blood and no sacrifice was too great to stay the zeal of their love.
 No country in the world is so thoroughly Catholic in its roots as is America. From St. Augustine to St. Paul and to San Francisco, from Corpus Christi to Santa Fe and to the St. Lawrence, from San Diego to St. Louis to St. Petersburg the names of our cities are significant of their Catholic origin. With the exception of a strip of our Atlantic coast our country was almost who'll ly discovered and explored by Cath olics, most of them not in quest of gold but in search of souls.
 PROUD HERITAGE
 We Catholics should be very proud of the contributions made by men of our faith to the making of America. And we may be equally proud of our unblemished history of loyalty and service in the years that have gone.
 Tn God we trust wrote the builders of America. and in that trust the new world attained it's greatness and its grandeur. Tn God we trust!" His charity, His justice and His tolerance! These are not things that the Church recom- mends; these she commands. And today as ever in the past the Church strives to instill into the hearts of her children fear and love of God and respect for His rights those virtues which filled the hearts of the men who made our country J great.

PERUGINI FACES
 COURT TOMORROW

Thomaston, Oct. 13.-Anthony Perugini of 26S South Main street, Waterbury, will appear in Thomas ton town court tomorrow night to answer a charge of reckless driving following his arrest here Sunday night by Police Chief 'sraft" Ryan.
 Perugini was the driver of Q car proceeding toward Thomaston ave- hue which ripped down eight fence posts and collided with 6 car drive ing south. His car was badly dam- aged and his four passengers, Mir, and Mrs. Edward Olcese of e64 Baldwin street, Waterbury. suffered minor bruises.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-10-13

The railroads entire personnel of four made the trip
 Engineer Herbert Brown, 9 years with the railroad, earned $85 a month, work or play: fireman Leon Croft, 30 years service, earn ed nearly $100 month on an hour ly basis; night watchman James Little, got slightly less, and Edward A. Colyer, superintendent and agent since 1913. His salary was not re- vealed.
 The passing of the 76-year -old railroad brought one happy note. All the steel will be turned in for the war effort-285 tons of second hand rail, 25O tons of scrap rail; 20 tons of angle bars and pieces, and 160 tons of steel in the bridge over Fox Creek.
 Eighty-one year old Colonel E. Vrooman, former passenger agent, went along on the last trip, pulling the bell cord and reminiscing to other guests crowded in the en- gine's cab.
 Its a terrible thing" he said. "It's just like life. I can still re- member my mother holding me in her arms when the first engine rol- led down these tracks. Now we're both going"
 Carried 5000 a Month The railroad used to carry 5000 passengers in one month, 400 on one July 4, Vrooman said.
 Remember, this was the only means of transportation for the val ley, outside of horses" he contin- ued.
 And as the engine crossed the creaking bridge over Fox Creek, he pointed to the hills:
 "Over there are buried about 15O colored folks, slaves and servants ot my grandfather and family which ran this road. I can see my grand father standing just where those trees are. They used to have lit tie private station there so he could board the train-he owned 1t all" Vrooman's family, for nearly half century, owned and operated the railroad.
 Villagers Bought Stock The now defunct road was pulli in 1865. Vrooman's grandfather called the first citizens meeting to finance the railroad. Later com- pany was formed and 62 villagers purchased $50,000 stock and the town donated a similar amount.
 More than 100 workers and 27 teams dug out the roadbed to place the tracks. Passenger tickets were 25 cents one way. Then there were lots of hops and apples to cart.
 In 1882 Vrooman said that his grandfather turned over the roac to his "six sons, my uncles and my father.
 Each year." he said, "the six would meet and lease it to tht brother who made the best offer My father had the road quite bit
 "Of course all my uncles hac families and the brother who go' the railroad employed all his chil' dren and relatives, tossing out tht others"

JAP EvACUEES
 HELP FARMERS HARVEST BEETS

Denver, Oct. 13. (UP)-Japanese interned in the United States are fast proving to be useful in offset ting the increasingly acute labor shortage.
 West Coast evacuees of Japanese ancestry housed in war relocation centers at Granada, Col, and Cody, Wyo., are being recuirted to help harvest the sugar beet cvrops in Montana, Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska fields, and benefited farm CTS are rejoicing.
 Critical problems developed in the four states as the beet harvest drew nearer and the selectiv service system continued to draft agricul- tural workers. The nrecruiting. of the Japs was proposed and agricul- tral leaders of the four-state re- zion hailed the plan as an answer to their plight.
 Regional War Relocation Author ity Director Joseph H. Smart signed the Japanese recruiting order only after Gov. NelS H. Smith of Wyom- ing and Gov. Ralph l.. Carr of Colo rado gave him assurance the Jap- anese workers would be welcome and that law an dorder would be main tained in communities where they lived during the harvest. Protection was promised earlier by the state officials of Montana and Nebraska.
 It is pointed out that alien resi- dents of the centers are not com pelled to accept the farm jobs. The recruiting plan is on a strictly voluntary basis and is handled through the U. S. Employment Service which operates branch of- fees in most cities and towns of all four states.
 Moreover, the Japanese workers are pair stndard wages. The scale must conform with wages paid workers in similar jobs.
 Farmers in many cases have re- ported the Japs used in their fields are industrious and even enthus-

A demonstration oi what incendiary and high explosive bombs can do is then given. In the incendiary class there are demon strations of the petroleum bomb magnesium bomb and the thermite bomb. During each demonstration trained units show how to control these bombs.
 The attics on exhibit include one filtered with the usual attic refuse second that is clean and orderly and third with the interior white washed and one inch of sand on the floor.
 Demonstrations now, scheduled in- clude: Bridgeport, October IA; New Haven, October 15; Norwich, Oc- tober 29; and New London, October 30.

Rev.J.F.DOnnelly

ReV.J.F.DOnneliy ngent apprecia- tion of his heroic enterprise. But in the heart of Columbus the love of the sea and inborn desire to know the secrets of nature were con sumed with a greater love, 8 pas sion which led him to success where others more intelligent and more experienced had failed. Columbus had the heart of missionary.
 THE MISSIONARY
 Columbus announced himself at the court of Ferdinand and 1sa- bella as ''an, ambassador of the Most High, chosen by His infinite Goodness to labor increasingly for the propagation of the faith" In- deed his greatest argument as he pleaded before the King to aid was that the name of the King would grow to immortality for having re- solved to carry the name and doc trines of Jesus Christ into regions for-scattered.
 The heart of the explorer was en- cased in the heart of the mission ary. He grew to manhood with the conviction tpat there was another land beyond the seemingly endles; sea which he watched from hi: home. He dreamed of bringing the gospel of truth and the tidings o1 salvation to the children of these unknown lands and his dream wa! made real years later when he and his crew knelt beneath rough hewen cross and praised and glori- lied God in the new land. That land ae called San Salvador, Holy Sa. , viour, and the new world was first consecrated with the prayers ant worship of his Catholic faith.
 CATHOLIC AMERICA
 The Catholic side of the story oi Columbus, like the Catholic side o' so much of our history, is too little known by our people. Yet the his tory of America cannot be writer without honorable and frequent mention of the Church and her mis-
