Veterans In Annual
 Memorial Services
Various Units Take Part in Ceremonies; Mass Opens
 Observance of Week of Remembrance

with us who die.' His words come to us this Memorial Day when we remember gratefully before God the sacrifices of those who gave their lives and guaranteed to us by these sacrifices our security as Q free and independent nation. We will not break faith, we shall keep faith with those who died.
 If we ourselves are untrue, if we are false to the ideals for which they contended, If we wrap ourselves in Selfishness, then we shall break faith. Some say they died in vain, but 1t will only be so If we break faith. No veteran, no real American would break faith with they who died. They cry out in a chorus, We shall keep the faithl The rights and privileges we enjoy are too precious; they were bought at great price. If they mean anything to us, we will value them above all else and will make whatever sacrifices necessary to their maintenance.'
 Lastly, let us keep faith with God. He is the rock upon whiom our nation was founded. All we have comes from Him. We must ne'er let this foundation be under mined or destroyed. These are troublous days of trial, of violence but we need not fear if we stand steadfast in the faith"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-05-25

The annual series of Memorial Day services was started yesterday, with hundreds of veterans taking part in the exercises. The days program included a memorial mass at St. Joseph's Church at 10 o'clock vespers at Trinity Episcopal Church at 5 o'clock, a Memorial Day ser- mon at Zion Baptist Church by Rev. B. W. Crowder, and special memorial services by David FNan- nick post, Jewish War Veterans.
 Memorial Mass
 Colors of numerous veterans or- ganizations were massed at St. Jo- seph's Church for the commemora- tive mass. The sermon was deliv- cred by Rev. Edward Stanevich. Sylvester Stokes post, Lithuanian Legion, held a reception after the mass.
 Rev. Roger B. T. Anderson, rec- tor, delivered the sermon at the vespers at Trinity Episcopal Church. Colors were also massed for this service.
 Fannick Post unveiled memo- rial tablet for the. late Charles R.. Schnitman. Decorations were plac- ed on the graves of departed comrades and on the grave of Mrs. Hilda Fannick, Gold Star Mother of David L. Fannick, after whom the post was Eamed.
 Graves of hundreds of veterans were decorated over the weekend by members of Memorial Day com mittees.
 Father Anderson, in his sermon, paid tribute to the comrades who have departed. He said, in part:
 To-day we keep Memorial Day in the midst of another war. The rights of free men and nations have been challenged as never before. Our arch foes blatantly speak of new order, but the order he would establish IS an order of slavery and serfdom, an order which would deny to men those inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Let him have his way and our cher ished Bill of Rights would become but a scrap of paper to be torn up and trodden upon by the hob- nailed boots of a cruel and re- lentless tyrant. The question arises as to what we are to do.
 America Is giving her answer tanks, guns, ships, planes, all the panoply of modern warfare is be- ing poured forth. Thousands of our men are stationed in various parts of the world, ready to crush the enemies of freedom wherever they appear. But this is not all, ma terial is necessary, but 1t is use- less unles there goes along with It the spiritual equipment.
 ,"If Ye Break Faith"
 John McCrea, the Canadian sol- dier-poet. sang, If ye break faith
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-05-25

just 50 long as 1t is the main bus mess of the strong to exploit the weak. The nations can never dwell together in any semblance of set- tied peace so long as victors grind down the vanquished and the moro advanced nations prey upon and keep in political and economic bondage the weaker and less ad- vanced. One of the finest compi- ments ever paid this America of ours was offered by foreign states man who spoke in contempt. This man said, Tt has long been fea- ture of American policy to oppose the strong in favor of the weak" 1 would to God 1t had always been so. There are plenty of instances in American history, some very sad chapters indeed, when we were guilty of aggression and profited by the exercise O. overwhelming force to attain our ends and with scant regard to the justice of our cause But let us thank God that there are some peoples and nations the Armenians, the Chinese, the Fili- pinoes, and some others perhaps who think of America with a rnea- sure of respect and gratitude
