LASTING WORLD
 PEACE SOUGHT
Human Brotherhood, Jus- tice for All Proposed;
 Foundation of Future

Human brotherhood and justice for all are the foundations of last ing peace, Dr. Sherwood Eddy, mis- sionary lecturer, author, and travel CT. stated at the union service of the Second Congregational church yes- terday morning. His talk was based on the building of a new world after the war.
 The old world will be destroyed completely, the speaker stated, and the task will be to forget the ruins and concentrate on a just plan for the future. This time we must not 90 to the peace conference without a plan, nor dare we leave the peace conference with treaty like that of Versailles" he stated.
 Great Britain, Russia and China must help build the peace that is to follow, he said. India with her 300 million people, all the small nations, and all the colored races should like wise play an important part, he add ed. But most important of all, he said, we must not leave out God.
 He spoke of the formation of world federations after the war and setting up of machinery which will avoid further conflict.

FORMER RESIDENT
 OPPOSES STANLEY
Carl o. Parsons to Seek Congressional NOmina-
 ton in Third District

Congressman James Shanley's bid for renomination by Democrats of the third district will be opposed by Carl O. Parsons, former Water burian who is now resident Of Milford. MT. Parsons, who lived in the North End here, will campaign against MT. Shanley on the basis of the latter's isolationist views.
 An aggressive campaign is planned by MT. Parsons He says: How the Democratic organization of this state can ever consider James A.. Shanley to be returned to Congress is almost inconceivable. His record in opposition to the Presidents for- eign policy, which was even en- dorsed by the Republican candidate for president, Wendell L. Willkie, is bad. I am out to fight this thing to a finish. Tn the last analysis it is the people who will determine who will represent them in Con- gress and I propose to give them the facts.
 A veteran of World War I, MT. Parsons went to the West as a young man and there was promi- nent in the F'armer-Labor party and in veterans organizations.
 For the past 12 years he has been associated with his brother, Gus. in the dire cting of expositions. While living in New York he was active in the American Labor party.
 During the past several years, as resident of Milford, MT. Parsons has organized the Milford Taxpay- CTS League and has been active po- litically.

SEVERE PENALTY FOR VIOLATORS
Misrepresentation in Ob. taining Duplicate Books
 Serious Offense

OPA investigators will soon be in Waterbury to check violations of gas rationing regulations, James E. Me- Knight, deputy gasoline rationing administrator, warned today. They will investigate claims that some gas stations have been selling gas with out the required coupons or have been giving more than the coupon allowance, and will also probe false claims for new rationing books as replacements for books stolen or lost.
 The number of reports of ration ing books lost or stolen, already at a high total, is increasing daily, Mir. Mcknight said.
 'If any motorist thinks he can get away with a fake application for a duplicate book, he is due for rule awakening" MT. McKnight declared.
 Three arrests have been made in Hartford on charges of violation of rationing regulations and the mex arrested are held under heavy bonds for arraignment before a federal grand jury.
 Car owners have been repeatedly warned, MT. Mcknight pointed out, to guard their rationing books cares fully.

WINNERS AWARDED
 SAVINGS STAMPS
Over S177 in Prizes Dis= tributed at Chase COun=
 try Club Outing

Over 150 executives and employees of Waterbury dealers in building materials attended their annual outing Saturday at the Chase Coun- try club. It was not only one of the best attended but voted the most enjoyable event of the series held to date. A patriotic theme added note of unusual interest to the affair. MT. Hitler in eff1gy was the target of a corps of well trained dart hurlers. What they didn't do to Der Fuehrer isn't worth men, tioning, reports Joseph F. ("Insu- late') Kenny, one of the guiding spirits of the affair. And in addi- tion to experiencing that certain feeling of satisfac ction for nicking Adolph, the winners received war savings stamps.
 In addition to the dart contest there were quoit matches, softbal1 games, fat mans race (results held military secret) and champion ship "45" game in which Bill Scully and Ed Harvey, using the Notre Dame system, knocked over Joe" Kenney and From" McHale. At sundown rom" was still going strong on the alibis.
 A steak dinner was the climax of the afternoons events.
 Books of war savings stamps ar- ranged as to form the letters "U. s A." and with two large V's In evi- dence, were later distributed to the winners by J. Francis Smith, chair man of Waterbrry's committee on war bond and stamp promotion. Fifty-seven prizes in all were awarded for value of SIT.
 A vote of thanks was given to the committee consisting of Joseph De- Lauetis, Joseph F. Kenney, Louis Scigliano and L. s. Fitch.
