 as Principal Speaker

Returning home for his first pulp lie appearance since his election as New York District Attorney, Frank s. Hogan yesterday addressed the annual communion breakfast of the Holy Name society of St. Thomas church. He was given an ovation by the crowd which filled the parish hall.
 Too much coddling of youth by parents and superiors has been in evidence in recent years, sad MT. Hogan, and the sterneF discipline of a generation ago should be restored, Lack of parental discipline, he stated, develops in young people a lack of respect for authority and for law and order,
 Mfr. Hogan was welcomed back to his native city by Mayor Vincent 4. seully, who sad that Waterbury is deeply proud of him and has fol. lowed his legal career with the greatest of interest.
 Full support Of the war effort was urged in an eloquent address by Rev. Joseph B, DoDnelly, assistant pastor of the church.
 Others at the speakers table were Rev, John ?. Kennedy, pastor; Lieut.. Bernard Burns. Probate Judge Patrick Healey, Judge John l.. 6afS. pey, Attorney Joseph Hogan, brother of the district attoFneyi Attorney Michael Noonan, Attorney RintoD J. Phelan, DT. PFesefrk q.

World Can Be Saved
 From Chaos--Walker
Faithful Church Men and Women Offered Chance tO
 Hold Universe Together Claims End Church Pastor

Christ. Beyond the fears and .errors of these times we point men to a fairer, brighter day. We refuse to accept the sceptism. the cynieisrl of the world. We believe that if the men and women of the churches of Christ are found faithful we, like the Christians of old, will hold the world together and save the world from chaos and anarchy.
 In a world which is threatened with a devastating tidal wave of hate, the Church of Christ stands for a fellowship of love. This love Is love in the truest sense. There is is nothing soft or sentimental about 1t. This love is best represented in these days by missionary doctors who continue to perform their op- erations and nurses who continue to care for their patients under the hail of bombs and who make no dis tinction between friend and foe. They serve human need and no risk is too great and no price too heavy to pay for the privilege of service in the name of the Great Physician.
 Ours is a fellowship which denies hate, which repudiates it even in the midst of war.
 I greatly fear periods of disilluS- ionment during and after the war. The fainthearted are given to des- pair but the people of God cherish a larger hope. When Vice President Henry A. Wallace was asked if he had some particular verse or pas- sage from which he received spirt- tual sustenance he quoted the pro- pllet Micah, And he shall judge among many people, and rehuke strong nations afar off; and they shall best their swords into plow- shares, and their spears into prun- ing hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Christ blessed the peacemakers and l vertly believe that it is our business as Christians to prepare for peace ID the very midst of war. do not pro- pose that we play into Herr Hitler's hands if he wants his kind of peace and wants it now. do propose that we do all we can to keep the issue of a just and lasting peace before the world. If you say that 1t is folly not to prepare for war in time of peace, say it is a far greater folly not to prepare for peace Tn time of war. If men would spend one hundredth part es much money and time and research on peace as we are now spending on war, peace could be won and held for genera tiOns to come.

MAY pAYs-oLD STYLE

Remember when we were youngsters,
 CThey hadn't started calling us NoN' We wore hats and not peasant scarfs'
 We didn't call our headgear nds Along about the first of May
 Exploring we would go An afternoon indoors at the movies,
 Was something we boys and girls olont KnoW' Most of us lived not too far
 From some little woodland spot, Our modest suburban homes
 Had generous backyard plot. Saturdays weren't long enough
 To do all we planned to do, You'd be surprised at all the fun
 That was had by our neighoorhood crew We had a great fear at times
 That some landowner might shoot us For trespassing on acres of his wooded land, Trailing the trailing arhutus There was great rivalry among us,
 On that you can bet Who caught the largest fish,
 And who the first violet Today's little city sparrows
 Kids who know Garland and Rooney, If they saw a bit of "out our way,
 Would think gang was looney. suppose today they've got something
 That we old codgers never had, But wouldn't swap our old May Days

 You might think that leisure time would be problem to the swing shifter. Not any :nore-at least in Los Angeles, around which arc crowded so many war plants. The swing shift has actually put the city on 24-hour basis.
 Stores and markets are damned in the wee hours of the morning as swing shift wives do their days marketing. Other housewives con- plain that these early birds get the pick of the fresh fruits and vegeta- bIes. If they do, that's just another
