Father DOnnelly Discusses
Papal Encyclicals on
Labor and Capital

The forms Of economic organiza-
ton proposed In Papal encyclicals
were outlined last night by Rev.
Joseph Donnelly in a talk at the
Diocesan Labor Institute session In
Waterbury Catholic high school
Cooperation and self government
are the central iderT Of the plan
Father Donnelly said, with the abol-
ition Of conflicts between labor and
capital and the combination of
these two parties into system of
occupational groups which would
bird men together accor ling to the
divers function which they exercise
In society, and not according to the
position they occupy in the labor
market.
A large measure of independence
would be granted these groups, by
law. such as power to fix wages, in
terests, dividends, prices, working
conditions etc.
THE state should perform the
tasks which belong to it and which
1t alone can effectively accom-
plish, namely, those of directing.

straining as circumstances sug-
gest or necessity demands he

Degree of Unity Within Himself

be co-ordinated to make an effec-
tive personality. Some individuals
are like a brush heat, helter-
SHELTER, miscellaneous pile of twigs
and branches; others, like tree, in
clude the same kind of materials,
but are organized into vital, grow
ing entity. All other tests of success
In personal living bark back to this
"a real person is integrated.
The truth of this Is revealed in
the process of growing up. There is
IN the body a basic urge toward
Wilderness, which Is another word
for health. The nervous system from
the start works at its task of CO.
originating the infants random
movements into system and order,
and when at last maturity is
reached, deliberate attention can
be concentrated on some purpose
that commands interest, and the
whole organism drawn together into
that "acme Of indignation" which
appears In creative work.
The infants observable activity
seems to be largely made UP Of
refiexes discontinuous, casual
miscellaneous. These refiexes, how
ever, are never as harum- scarum
as they seem, and there is from the
beginning a pattern Of regularity.
In the next stage, specific modes
Of adjustment to life appear so that
the growing child now has recog-
nizable peculiarities. The various
groups of habitual activities are
falling under the control Of interests,
attitudes, dispositions, and senti-
ments that begin to offer a design
for living.
AS growth continues, the very
conflict between these dissident
traits forces a further synthesis.
Selves appear, each self" a group
of traits fairly consistent within
its own range, but differing from,
often incongrous with, other SELVES"
III the same person. There Is the
same person. There Is the self"
one Is at home the self" one Is
on the athletic field, and later there
are the SELVES" that adversely ap-
pear in business, in the church, on
the golf links-each man having,
says William James, "as many diff
erent social selves as there are
district groups Of persons about
whose opinion he cares" Often these
multiple selves" are in bitter con-
flict-Dr. Jekyll against Mr.. Hyde
SO that, like states that cannot
get together under a federal gov
eminent, they fall apart into dis
unity and war. Strange and even
comical incongruities appear in
consequence
When the enterprising burglars not
a-burgling-
When the cut-throat isn't
occupied in crime
He loves to hear the little brook
a-gurgling-
And listen to the merry village
chime.
The process of synthesis in many
lives halts at this point. The CEN
trail criterion of successful person.
al living is somehow to pass from
mere multiple selves into the
poiSe, balance, and cohesion of a
unified personality.

CONVTCTS SPEED OWN REHABILITATION
BY WORKING FOR FREEDOM OF WORLD

BY NEA service
New York, Nov. 22-Even from
within the dour stone walls of a pen
itentiary, a man can take a crack
at the Nazis and Japs. In prison
shops and on prison farms today,
some 10000 convicts are working for
the preservation of a world that will

OF them gain the liberty to enjoy 1t.
In twelve months prior to June

prisons manufactured for the armed
force equipment worth $31,436, 086.
And for 1913, it is revealed at the
annual congress of the American
Prison Association here, state pri-
soners will have turned out food
stuffs valued at about $26 1000, 900.
Convicts who in pre-war days
worked at making such things as
auto license tag, highway mark

pitching in to produce camouflage

shipping crates, rope, blankets,

|Drycleaners Services
ToBe In Great Demand
Postwar Increase to Be Nearly Billion Dollars Worth
Over Biggest Peace-Time Record

And the industry has gradually been
transformed until it is today fair
ly complete clothing and textile
maintenance business which Is still
broadening. Services now regarded
as legitimately coming under the
term "drycleaning" include repairs
to garments and homefurnishings,
alteration of clothing, storage of
garments and homefurnishingS and
processing for water-and flame
resistance. Only small part of
the average cleaners income comes
from dyeing.
Storage and processing are good
examples of increased use of clean
ers' extended services by the pub
lie. Before the war only expensive
fur coats were stored. Today,
largely because of the wool shortage,
people have learned to store both
winter and summer wool garments
and homefurnishings In fact, at
this moment storage vaults are JAM
packed. And such habits are more
easily learned than forgotten by
conservative housewives. AS to pro-
cessing, soon even many fabrics
which are not exposed to rain -
such as rugs will be water resist
ance-treated since this treatment in
creases their resistance to soiling,
too. Flame-proofing is another eX-
ample. AS an inexpensive safety
home measure, it may become uni
versal, especially for such articles
as curtains and Grapes.
These are some of the reasons the
drycleaning picture is expected to
broaden and blossom Immediately af-
ter the war. The only cause for
delay is the present impossibility
Of securing equipment and building
materials, and Of getting hold of
adequate labor even If these could
be had, for plant expansion.

RECOMMENDATION IN
PENDING MEASURE
Local Doctors Register
Protest to Features of
Proposed Bill

Five local physicians met last
night to go on record as endorsing
DR.. John M. Freiheit's stand against
the socialized medicine aspects Of
the Wagner-Murray-Dingle bill
The doctors declared that the ma
jority of benefits proportioned to
medical and hospital care by the
bill, would be financed by the pub
lie at cost far exceeding what
the average family has to pay for
benefits under the present system.
Doctors present at the meeting,
in addition to DR.. Freiheit, were
DR.. Henry McGrath, DR.. Charles
Audet, DR.. Rudolph Damiani, DR..
Harold Morrill, and DR.. A. S.
Brown.
During the past few days repre-
sentatives of the G. I. o. have
criticized DR.. Freiheit for a talk
he gave to the Lions club Thurs
day during which he attacked the
Wagner Murray-Dingle social Sc
curity measure.
The doctors pointed out that with
the proposed six per cent deduction
man earning $1,000 a year would
have to pay $3.50 yearly for all
cradle to-grave services. Since So
cial security requires only $50 out
of So 600 at present, the additional
$3.50 is tax on services that should
only amount to approximately $780,"
The committee also scored the bill
on the grounds that no provisions
were made for nursing or dental
care. Nursing care alone could
amount to 1925 for a ten day period
If day and night service were needed,
they declared.
Doctors are not opposed to In
surance methods OF paying doc
tors fees but we are opposed to
this compulsory plan which Is reg
imentation," the statement added.
