HOME RELIGION
 CLUBS FAVORED
Bishop Advocates FOrma. ton of Catholic Units in
 All Diocesan Parishes

Most Rev. Maurice F. Auliffe, D. D., bishop of the Hartford diocese in a letter to pastors throughout the diocese announces the Confraternity program for the coming year which is to be carried out in the indi. vidual parishes.
 His letter follows:--
 November 5, 1922. Dear Father:
 The Diocesan Confraternity of Christian Doctrine in its program for the coming year includes the organization of Study Clubs and Re- ligion in the Home. Both these subjects are vital towards an ape preciation of Catholic Doctrine. I urge the formation and supervision of such clubs in the parishes of the Diocese.
 The subject matter for the Study Clubs this year is the church. We greet her as our mother, kind, be- nign and solicitous for our earthly welfare and eternal salvation. To know her is to love her. The study club offers opportunity for deeper and more intimate knowledge of our place in the world. The great truths which she proclaims enlight- en and strengthen our faith. The club is necessarily small in num- bers but rich in possibilities for those who take part in it.
 Religion in the home is as old as the church. It acqualnts the pre- school child with the loveliness and beauty of our religion. The child prompted by faith absorbs Divine Truth as he absorbS the fresh air Religion becomes a very part of his life. Following these trends tho father and mother are real parents and exercise their God-given rights in respect to their children. Re. ligion in the home brings the sun. shine of Divine Love and the par. ents share with God in the develop. ment of their offspring.
 Asking God to bless you and youl flock, I am
 Sincerely yours in Christ,
 MAURICE P. McAULIFFE.
 Bishop of Hartford.

Both Rivals Claim
 Lead As Balloting
 Nears Home Stretch
DriscOII Camp Intmates Threats and IntimidatiOns Being Employed to Corral Ballots for Robinson,
 Incumbent CTO President

Figures may not lie, but they some times tell a queer story, as in the case of the current dog-fight elec- ton for president of the c. I. O. Mine, Mill, and Shelter Workers union between John J. Driscoll and Reid Robinson.
 The figures compiled by the Rob- inson headquarters, based on re- turns from 70 locals throughout the country. give the incumbent 5,9lO votes to the Waterbury candidate s 3,aO8. Records from the Driscoll campaign oflice indicate that he is leading with a plurality Of better than l,5O0.
 Two of Waterburyis locals went 10 the polls yesterday, Chase and Lo- cal 25i. The Chase vote, with all reports in show Robinson with 563, Driscoll with 229. The vote at Local 25l, the largest in this section, is not as yet fully tabulated, but early returns give Driscoll the expected advantage with 532 votes to his op- ponents i2.
 Meanwhile, with votes pouring in from all over the country, and with both sides claiming the lead, the in- terEeeine battle came closer than ever to home with the ScoYiIl local at the polls today. The Driscoll camp intimates that threats and in- limitations have been used to cor ral ballots for Robinson. IL was also hinied that the Driscoll min- orlty in the Chase plant attempted to use violence 10 make their lead CTS apologize for alleged slurring re- marks directed at Rev. Joseph r. DcEnelly.
 Al skinner. international repre- sentative and a Robinson packer. said today that more than 35,000 votes would be cast before the dead line on Sunday, and so tine results released by the Driscoll headquar- ters were decidedly incomplete. The Dfiscoil score board does not record mere than i2000 votes from ap- proEimately 32 locals. skinner fur- ther claims that Robinson's strength lies in the west coast. as yet unre- ported, ard in New Jersey. John Mir1eld, president Of Local 25i, and strong Driscoll man, announced that he has just returned from New Jersey, and ayers that members there viii reject Robinson as the Butte mlners did"

lent skiing yesterday at the Doug

of hardy winter sportsmen includ-
ing Rodney Nordling, John Pas

and Leo Rhode trekked to the up
per ski cabin Saturday night tc
spend several days
Off the beaten trail the skiing
was poor and the snow was wet
and heavy. On the slalom area
the two feet of new snow was
packed into a smooth, fast course
Improvement in slalom technique
featured the days activity, with
Jimmy Nielsen, who has learned
all his skiing in Juneau. out
standing in ability and form. Bill
Dean, University of Alaska skier
coached those desiring ski in
struction in the finer points of the
sport.
In commenting on snow condi-
tons Sunday. the outdoor Com
mittee of the Juneau Ski Club
made the following statement
Many skiers are making the same
mistake this year that is made
every year. They stay at home and
wait for good weather and ideal
snow conditions. Actually these
rarely come; perhaps only once
during the season The skier who
gets ahead and has the most fun
is the one who's out there taking
the snow and weather as it comes
and making the best out of it.
Good skiing can usually be had at
the slalom course where nearly
perfect skiing conditions are MAIN
tanned throughout the season"
