BETHLEHEM Sees
MUCH MAIL AHEAD
Little Connecticut POST
Office to Continue Tradi-
tiOnaI Letter Service

In accordance with their usual
custom, postal authorities Of the
town Of Bethlehem, Connecticut,
will again renal all packages and
cards forwarded to them for the
Christmas season. Bearing the FAM
liar star and Christmas tree the
missiles will be forwarded stamped
with traditional name Of "the lit
tie Town of Bethlehem"
To date Postmaster Earl johnson
said, however, no packages or cards
have been forwarded to his office
for remailing. This IS unusual mas
much as previous years have seen
such Christmas cheer sent to that
point as early as Nov. /.
Many factors are believed to con-
tribute to this delay, foremost Of
which is the present gas rationing
restrictions. In previous years mo-
florists from all parts Of the state
would drive to the town to leave
their Christmas mailing. 1t is be-
lieved also people are so involved in
war work these days they have yet
to get around to their Christmas
mailing.

|IOLLY-POY HABIT
RUINOUS TO TEETH
Americans Famous Sweet
Tooth" Responsible for
Costly Results

Studies on dental health have
shown that our national Sweet
tooth" has been the contributing
factor In tooth decay, declared John
T. Fulton, D. D. s.. Chief o. the
Division Of Dental Hygiene, in the
weekly broadcast Of the State De-
partment Of Health. It has been
known for many years that the act
ual destruction Of the tooth enamel
Is caused by certain acids which,
when placed against the teeth often
enough and long enough, produce
bad results. It Is also clear that
such destructive acids are manu-
actured in the mouth by the fer
mentation Of sugars. Considering
these facts in the light Of Americas
tremendous sugar consumption,
widespread dental trouble becomes
more understandable Certainly, as
a sweet tooth" nation we subject
our teeth to terrific acid baths.
Doctor Fulton went on to Say that
he appreciated he problems parents
have to face when children see he
deiectable sweets appearing on the
shop courtrS and often on the
shelves at home. It Is likewise diff
ficult for adults to resist these
since the sweet tooth" ofendictates.
Since less than five per cent Of
our population are immune to tooth
decay, it becomes all the more nee
essary to consider some substitution
pla1, for meeting the Sweet tooth"
urge. Teeth of children are partic-
ularly susceptible to tooth destroy
ing agents. When 1t Is realized that
very young children have perman-
ent teeth and that all of the per-
manent set arrive before the boy
or girl reaches maturity, then sure
ly the time to do the mos for them
is during the growing ages. In spite
of all we can do, defects may appear
in the dental structures, but if the
reduction of sweets will contribute
to better control Of the problem, it
deserves a trial.
| There are many fine tasty foods
that are not loaded with sugar
What about popcorn or peanuts or
raisinS, asks Doctor Fulton. Surely,
the hungry child rushing in from
play, in search of something to ap-
pease a demanding APPETITE, will just
as readily grab an apple or an
orange or a. oatmeal cookie j they
are available.
Attention of parents to such a
plan will pay real dividends SO far
as the teeth are concerned. 1t will
not necessarily prevent tooth decay
entirely, but in most cases it will
institute good measure Of control

LECTURE SERIES
COMES CLOSE
Father Kennedy Pays Trib-
ute to Latest Book of
William T. Walsh

In an estimation of several books
of non-fiction recently published
Rev. John s. Kennedy compared
Christian civilization of the eras be-
ginning slightly before the Refor-
nation down to the present day.
The chaotic state of the world to-
day, he said, is an outgrowth Of the
failures in previous periods of civil
ization following the Reformation
which instead Of reforming
started something new. Last nights
lecture by Father Kennedy, asso-
ciate editor Of the Catholic Tran
script, was the last in series Of
four on current books delivered at
the Waterbury Catholic High school
under the auspices Of the Water
bury Council Of Catholic Women.
William Thomas Walsh's "St.
Teresa Of Avila" was said by the
speaker to be the finest of DR..
Walsh's books to date. In this biog-
raphy Of the great saint the set
ting, as Father Kennedy stated, is

Joined Marines in 1916
Since 1925 when Marine aviation
first donned swaddling clothes and
began to 60 places, no plane ever
has been lost from any squadron

He has pilots eyes. a scanned,
leathery face and probably the
keeneSt mechanical mind for plane

has more hours in the air (2500)
than many ace pilots.
Briefly, his responsibilities under
the squadron set-up include super
vision of all ground repair, train
ing of new mechanics, and final in
spection of planes about to be flown.
But he doesn't stop there.

FOUR CONDEMNED
The National Legion Of Decency
will have its tenth anniversary in
1914. This Is the official Catholic
organization which through the
agency of the International FEEDER
alton Of Catholic Alumnae reviews
and rates the moral value of mo-
ton pictures. In the nine years OF
It's activity it has had a radically
healthy effect on the quality OF
American screen entertainment and
it has won the respect and good will
of the majority Of movie producers
in Hollywood.
The report Of the organization fol
the year between November 1942
and November 1913 states that out
of 439 pictures reviewed only -four
were condemned and placed In
Glass c, f1fty-f1ve were found partly

Catholic Thought And Opinion
BIZ REV. JOSEPH F. DONNELLY

famine and war were instruments
used by the Creator to maintain a
balance between population and
production. OF course this sac
rilegous doctrine helped to ease the
consciences of the multitude of plu-
tocrats who were climbing along the
backs of the poor to positions Of
power in an unjust social order.
And today this theory is not dead.
Recently we saw 1t discussed at
length in one of our Western news
papers and quoted not in criticism
but as a statement of economic
fact.
But God never intended that hui
man beings should live in slums and
go hungry through no fault of
their own. He gave us world rich
in natural resources which were to
be used for the benefit of all the
people and not for the enrichment
of few.
MONTE CASINO
Fourteen hundred years ago st.
Benedict, the founder Of western
monasticism which combines man
ual labor with ascetic practices, es-
tablished the famous Benedictine
Abbey of Monte Casino near Rome.
During these many centuries price
less art objects have accumulated in
the Abbey and recently, during the
course of the war, from Naples,
Syracuse, San MARITIME and other
centers of Italy many of the great
est paintings in the world in
GLIDING works by Titan, Correggio
Ell Greco, Goya, to mention but a
few, were sent to Monte Casino for
safe keeping. These together with
those belonging to the Abbey con-
stituted one Of richest collections
in the world when the unhappy an
nouncement was made recently that
the whole collection had been
transferred by the Germans tic

STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS
The following interesting details
of the life of this man prominent in
American history appeared recently
in The Catholic News of New York
and we thought them worth record
ing.
The present home of the Apostle
lie Delegate in Washington was
formerly the home Of Senator
Douglas, the Democratic nominee
in 1860 when the Republicans NOM
mated Lincoln. It was here that
Douglas received news of his nom
nation at the Charleston Conven-
ton. And 1t was here that he
brought his Catholic bride, Miss
Colts, after their marriage by a
priest at st. Aloysius church In
Washington.
A son Of Stephan Douglas, Judge
R. M. Douglas, became justice Of
the Supreme Court of North Caro-.
lima and a distinguished Catholic
layman of that State. A grandson

as only one was injured seriously
This Thanksgiving day was the fifth

GREECE TO REGAIN
IT'S INDEPENDENCE

Independence will be won again
by the Greek nation, Peter Sakora-
fcs predicted at the forum of the
Central Y. M. C. A. Speaking on
Ancient and Modern Greece and
Her Civilization" Mr. Sakorafos said
that Greece gave to the western
world the source of the arts and sci
ence we know today.
The courage of the earlier Greeks,
their will to strive forward at all
times, their strength of purpose and
determination to bring about the
more perfect civilization, all these,
he said, still live in the modern
Greek and will be the means of
once again attaining their freedom.
Carl Carlsrud will speak on Nor
way at next Mondays forum. No adj

which are open to the public.
