Today marks the Tooth anniversary of
the founding of Holy Cross College, Wor-
cester, Mass, renowned institution of
learning directed and stated by the
Jesuit order. Waterbury has large num-
her of native sons who have received aca-
Cemic and honorary degrees from one of
the countrys leading colleges. Graduates
from this city are numbered among many
professions, including prominent laity,
priests and the hierarchy. Among the
latter is the city's ranking churchman,
Most Rev. John G. Murray, D. D., Arch
bishop of st. Paul. MINI.
We are proud today to extend our
warmest congratulations to this very
roted school of learning in our New Eng
land States, which has in each of its six
states so fine representation of colleges
tnd universities. Holy Cross founded in
1843 by Bishop Fenwick, began on No
vember 2 of that year with an enroll
nent of IL students. In the one hundred
years it has progressed with it's broad
ystem of classical education to the pres
mt large enrolment which previous to
the system of war routine ranked with the
major colleges of the east
While Holy Cross advanced with the
times and introduced the newer courses
demanded of late years it maintained its
high standard in it's adherence to the
classics. The October 30 issue of the
Jesuit weekly, America, said in part:
Bishop Fenwick had double aim in
Founding Holy Cross: to make it a nur-
sery of priestly vacations for the diocesan
and priestly ranks, and to train up a
strong, stalwart, loyal Catholic laity.
Twenty-Five of the sons OF Holy Cross have
been raised to the purple. Holy Cross has
been generous to Country as well as God"
This generosity Is expressed in terms Of
close to $500 alumni who are now in
some war service.

MAD DOGS OF WASHINGTON
In recent years, the Capital has
gained the reputation of being
mad house. In much more
literal sense, it is a mad house
today, for the dogs as well as
the humans are going mad.
There are more cases of rabies
in Washington today than for
years. The whole town is a-trem-
BILE. Old ladies are donning long
underwear, before winter comes,
as a protection against dog bites.
The mildest lap dog excites as
much fear as wolf.
But lot OF people are mad who
haven't been bitten. They are
mad at the health department for
letting dogs run loose If muzzled.
Doctors and vets are up in arms
against the ruling. In the first
place, there aren't enough muzzles
to go around; also, some types of
muzzles do not prevent biting!
while other types shake loose and
hang on the dog like a neckless.
Only effective way to stop the
epidemic Is to confine all dogs to
the premises, or take them out on
leash.
Meantime, the puzzled, muzzled
dogs look on, while vets and
health officers ny at each others

The failure of the Community

any rate, the result was the same.
The Drive failed to make its quota,
The Drive had all the ear marks

the minimum pledge or cash that
would be accepted. Over Ave hum

day In one OF the medium sized fac
tories because the individual pledges
or donations were less than the
minimum demanded, Repeat this In
the mercantile establishments, null

looks now, paintings are going to
fall below the high goals set by the
government - an acreage increase
of IA million over this year.
This year farmers had the IS
per cent Of-parity loan, which
acted to support the price, plus
both parity payments and con-
servatiOn payments. But Con-
greSs has knocked out parity
payments for next year, leaving
margin of uncertainty as to
whether wheat will bring as
much as flax or grain sOrghums,
or some other crop.
Planting Is now we'll along in
the winter wheat belt, but it is
reported to De slack planting.
Never has there been so much de-
mand by farmers to know what
the price Is going to be. An
official answer is still withheld.
And when the announcement
Is made, 1t will lbe a loan figure
Of 80 per cent OF parity, whereas
farmers like to have 100 per cent,
to make up for the los of parity
payments.
ALI this confusion comes at q
time wien there is a greater de-
mand for wheat than this coun-
try has ever known. In addition
to the tremendous demand for
wheat for flour, $50 million BUSH
els have been used for animal feed
In the past ~ months, and still
more will be needed for the same
purpose in the next year. And
beyond that, the government has
pledged another so million BUSH
els for foreign relief.

The city of Prague has many unusually interest
lg public clocks.-Trayelogue
elias Lieberman in the New York SUM
The clocks of Prague cannot conceal
Their broad and honest faces,
And only elves who dwell in them
May see their dark grimaces,
At midnight, humby lifting hands,
They say prayer for light,
informing SO that all may hear,
"And there shall be no night"
The clocks of Prague look down on streets
Where death and famine stalked
Where cobbestones have changed with fear
And valiant men have walked.
Inscrutably they gaze beyond
The anterooms of time
To where a golden glory waits.

SULLIVAN TERMS
 BILL OBNOXIOUS
Administration Measure Is Called 'Assinine Legisla-
 tive Proposition

Hartford, Conn, May IT. - (UP) - Democratic objection to suspen- sion of the rules in the senate to consider an administration bill for separate ballots in national and state elections, threatened today to block adjournment of the general assembly, scheduled for Wednesday.
 In some quarters there was a talk of a filibuster, should the republi- can succeed in obtaining the two thirds majority necessary for the suspension.
 Senator John L. Sullivan, D., New Britain, said he would oppose the suspension, declaring the admins tartion bill the most ridiculous and assinine legislative proposition ever to come up before any session of the legislature"
 Sullivan called the bill "obnox- ious," and declared the suspension was an attempt to sneak through the bill during the pressure of the last couple of days
 "I'll oppose suspension of the rules" he said. "The Republicans have p votes and need two more to carry the suspension motion. know they'll get one, and I'm sure they won't get two"
 Sullivan charged the bill, which calls for the use of paper ballots for presidential electors, and voting machines for state officers, when the two elections come the same year, was a republican attempt at vote-grabbing."
 If they're so conscientious about the welfare of the state,' he de- clared. "let them put through the bill calling for house confirmation of all of the governors nominations and another doing away with dual job holding. Let them write these provisions in their 1944 platform.
 "The trouble is, though, they say one thing in the platform and do another when the legislature rolls around"
 Other party members spread re- ports of a threatened fillibuSter, which would be almost certain to hold up adjournament.
 It was the intention of the gen. eral assembly, as in other years, to suspend the rules in both house and senate during the final two days to clear the calendars. Sullivan and others said they had no objections to the suspension, except for the ballot bill.
 Nobody objects to a general sus- pension to get the session over with" Sullivan explained. Its just this one bill that sticks in the crop of a good many of the senators"
