PARKING RECEIPTS

Little difference has been noted in
the parking meter income since the
pleasure driving ban went into eff
feet. Budget Director T. E. Olson
said today. Receipts so far this
month have totaled $l,083, about
half as much as was collected in
December 1912, the budget chief
pointed out.
When the ban was first made
public, he said, city officials doubted
whether the $4,000 budget estimate
would be passed this year, but indi-
cations now are that 1t will be
achieved without too much difficulty.
Average daily collection at the
meters is approximately 500. One
reason why the ban viii not affect
the intake to a great extent, Mr..
Olson opined. is because most per-
sons using the meters are workers
or shoppers.

and supreme and exempt from crit
icisn tht men must bow to ia
whims, exist for It's service and not,
as 1t should be, the state exist for
their welfare.
THE FIVE POINTS
The Pope then points out what he
calls "the FIRST five milestones" Ct
the journey that society must make
II 1t Is to travel the road toward
internal peace.
First, men must recognize the
dignity given to the human person
BY God and uphold respect for the
following fundamental human
rights" the right to worship God
In public and In private, the right
to work, the right TO material goods
In keeping with ones state In So
ciety.
Secondly, we must defend the In
tegrity Of the family. The family Is
the unit Of society and Il must be
given space, light and arr for Its
special mission and It must be given
adequate housing and convenient
places of work.
Thirdly, labor must receive It's
rights" A Just wage that covers the
needs Of a worker and his family
and a social order which viii make
possible an assured, even II modest,
private property fof all classes Of
society"
The fourth point Is "a complete
rehabilitation Of the juridic order"
In the past utilitarianism and not
the moral law has been the basis
Of the attitude Of men toward
agreements made among them. But
neither order nor peace can exist
unless men freely bind themselves
with the sanctions Of the law Of
God.
The last of the i've points Of re-
construction laid down by the Pope
is the destruction of the idea Of the
absolute state and the restoration
of the State ITO the service Of hui
man society, to the full recognition
Of the respect due to the human
person and his efforts to attain
eternal destiny the ultimate
moral basis and the universal val
idity Of 'reigning' lies In serving"
APPEAL FOR ACTION
The Holy Father called for vast
legion to be formed among all peo-
Piles. and all nations to aid In bring
ing back society to the center Of
gravity which is the law Of God.
This, he says, we owe to "the count
less dead who lie buried on the field
Of battle" and to the "innumerable
sorrowing hosts Of mothers, widows
and orphans who have seen the
light the solace and the support Of
their lives wrenched from them"
A LONELY VOICE
Again this lonely voice has cried
out from continent dashed by the
seas Of war. From the throne Of
Christendon he has again pointed
to the causes Of the worlds suffer.
lngs and to their remedies. Will this
warning go UNDECIDED as have 80
many in the past?
Today world planners and re-
formers are prolific in their sug-
gested blue prints Of the structure
of tomorrow's world. The corner
stone of that structure as the
Father Of Christendorn has pointed
out, must be respected for the rights
Of God and the rights Of men as the
children Of God, or our weak edi.
fice will tOpple again,
Will men build on God? We have
an obligation to both God and
country to aid the planners Of to-
morrow that they avoid the errors
Of the planners Of yesterday.

her vigorous struggles, which in

and the tearing down OF a WINDOW

Then. she continues, she was on
deck the next evening, admiring
the moon beam on the ripples,
when Flynn told her the moon

The outstanding piece Of work in

committee Of the waterbury Defense
Council. Women were recruited for
local industries needs for child care

workers In the Waterbury area
Many women now working In war

because they were interested In war

and Block leaders have been APP
pointed, resulting In O continual
growth of the Block organization.
The work Of the organizations In
these two large industrial centers
which are overcrowded because Of
war conditions shows what can be
done to help win the war on the
homefront, according to Mrs. Ruth
M. Dadourian. executive director Of
the Division Of Civilian Mobilization
Of the State Defense Council.
Interest in the Block Plan has
been shown In Pennington, Hart
ford, Wethersfield, Enfield, Water
town, Greenwich and Meriden. In
some Of these municipalities forn1a-
ton Of q Block Plan is well on It's
way. In most Of these commune
ties zone or sector leaders have been
selected and advisory committees
are at work helping plan the pro-

In general the Block Plan works
toward the encouragement Of q

Of the reasons behind our civilian
war efforts and promotion Of q
nelghborly spirit OF cooperation. for
