 DONE GOOD WORK
Package Sent to War SeC- tor Brings Letter of
 Thanks

Naugatuck, Aug. 10-This isn't only a war for few to be inter- ested in, it's one in which everybody should assits in some way. This is the attitude of a group ow none the Cotton Hollow Sewing club, and at this clubs next meeting 8 letter will be read to them that in itself will be ample reward for their atti- tude.
 The club, some months ago, sent large package containing cigarets and other needed things to four sol- diers who are stationed somewhere In the South Pacific. The soldiers are: Corporal Sam Barto of Hoad- ley street, formerly of Cotton Hol- low; Corporal George Wasdo, Cotton Hollow, Private Leroy Schiethe, Cot ton Hollow, and John De Franzo, South Main street. None of these were relatives of the club members, just friends.
 Recently they received "" let ter from the two corporals, which said ln part: "Just few lines to let you know that we received your wonderful package some time ago but never had 8 chance to thank you for 1t. It surely did feel great to know that we at least had some one besides our folks thinking of us, and that's all it takes to keep a fellows morale up in place like this. So once again thanks mil- lion for the package and please read this to the entire club at your next
 Mrs. Harry Winnie is president of the club. She and her fellow mem- bers are not only pleased to hear how much of a hit their package made, but they feel that that part In the letter referring to keeping up the morale of the boys is something everybody should frs ponder over, and then act.

11-Year Old Girl Donates Savings

Beacon Falls, Aug. 1O.-In June, 1941, Evelyn Bea, 11-year- old daughter of MT. and Mrs. John Bea of Church street, Bea- con Falls, witnessed the ground breaking ceremony for the new St. MichaeHs church. Evelyn had been told 1t would take a lot of money to build the church, and she silently resolved she would do her part.
 Recently she came to Rev. Jerome Cook, pastor, with box containing her savings since that period, savings made by giving up sweets, the movies and by making other sacrifices that are hard for any youngster. Father Cook was amazed when he opened the box to learn that Evelyn had saved $&6, which she was giving to the church fund.
 Father Cook said it was the most striking example of a child's generosity and willing ness to sacrifice, i'm his experi- ence, and recently publicly thanked Evelyn from the altar.

NEW CHURCH TO BOOST AUDITORIUM
Basketball Court Stage Planned in Easement;
 Mems Club to Formed
BEACON FALLS
Correspondent Wm. ,. Baxter
 Phone Naugatuck 3945

Beacon Falls, Aug. 10 = There will be a large basketball court, a stage, and auditorium in the base ment of the new St. Michael's church here, which will also be a church hall, 1t was learned today from Rev. Jerome Cook, pastor.
 Father Cook said that basketball will be played in the church hall starting next Fall, and said people of the parish are surprised to learn of the size of the church base ment.
 In addition there will be stage and children and adults alike will be able to present plays there. An advantage of this setup is that the church and the church hall have the same heating unit, Father Cook pointed out.
 Masses are now being conducted in the main church while some work is still to be done there, hav- ing been delayed because of sloW- ness in getting necessary materials. No date for the formal dedication of the church has yet been set.
 Plan Club
 A Catholic Mems League will be formed this Fall in the church, Father Cook said, and tentative plans for 1t have already been made. Further announcement is scheduled later.
 Saturday will be the Feast of the Assumption and Masses will be celebrated at St. Michael's church at 5, 2, and g o'clock.

Trade Guilds Have Role.
Some OF our time-honored tnsti-
tutlons such as our trade guilds,
will usefully complement this new
pattern of national political growth,
For centuries they have been
valuable feature of our social and
commercial life. The provincial
guilds in our large cities relieve
fellow provincias IN distress, settle
disputes among members, thus pre-
venting costly litigation. and help
in numerous other ways. We pro-
pose to give these organizations more
executive power and to obtain for
the government the benefit of their
experience.

alton in China after the war will
be as nearly perfect as possible and
susceptible of readjustment without
causing civil unrest.

representative I mean representa-

irresponsible and spell-binding slo-
gans Of political hawkers.
Furthermore, in q true democ-

Of real democracy. 10 which free
dom Of thought and progress are
essential.
No Need for ReplicaS
There is no necessity. moreover,
for the systems OF democracy in
our respective countries to be slav-
tsh replicas of each other. They
must adhere to the fundamental
principle, OF course. but each de-
mocracy should have an order that
fits truly its own peculiar require
mentS.
Therefore, our Chinese democracy
will not be A colorless imitation of
your American democracy, although
it will undoubtedly be Influenced
by the Jeffersonian views of equality
of opportunity and the rights Of
the individual. II will be redolent
of our soil and expressive of the
native genius of our people. II
must meet China's own needs and
be In harmony with our present
environment, which Is inevitably
linked 10 the best traditions of our
past. -
The fortune of war has brought
China for the first time abreast of
the great powers. We have won our
place in the front rank by our pro-
longed and unyielding resistance to

rectly.
II follows that the nation cannot
fol-rish unless the farmers are
prosperous.
At present they are enjoying a de-
gree of prosperity undreamed of
since the Golden Age.
As a by-product of war, prices
for all that comes from the land
have increased so much that the
standard of living of the rural popu-
lation has reached height that
did not seem possible. Children
are attending school who formerly
would never have had a chance of
education: homes that have been
perforce mere inadequate protec-
ton from the elements are being
made hygienic and comfortable.
This is as 1t should be.
We want these gains held and
consolidated.
Intellectual Glass Suffers.
There has been one f1y in the
ointment-there always Is: While
those who live on and by the land
have prospered, government en-
ployes and men and women classed
as intellectuals have been having a
hard time TO make ends meet. But
they represent very small per-
centage of our people: when vic
tory Is won, a permanent solution
OF their difficulties will be arrived at.
We are striving to institute a
flexible system of political and eco
nomic development that will serve
the future as well as the present.
This attempt started directly as
China became a republic. 30 years
ago, and has continued even
throughout the war years. In order
to give our people fuller and bet
ter opportunities for a well-rounded
and happier life, new kind of Chi
nese Socialism, based on democratic
principles, is evolving. It is no

Actually. though not called by
that name. Socialism has influenced
national thought In China for
decades even amid the confusion
caused by civil unrest and the

any afiliation with Communism.
The Chinese do not accept the

the poor by dispossesxins present
