contingent participated. Joe was
observed In line, generally at the
head Of the platoon, with the late
John Hitchcock and others at his
side. No one marched better, or
knew just what to do In a forma-
ton as issued by the Grand Mar
shall in charge. Joe was strictly a
military man, and knew then the
code from the first to the last
page.
But Time creeped on as it does
with all Of US; Joe seemed to
slacken a bit as we had observed
him of late years. He had the will
all right, but the quick step and
agility Of oil dSeemed gone. Still
his erect figure was there, as It
was in his younger days. Event
ually, he retired from work, and
spent his spare moments in q sort
Of relaxation. That's what we all
try to do when we feel played
out" Some Of us can study ma
ture, commune with the trees and
fields, and read the classics again;
others Of us just hang-on, WON
dering, staring into space, and
thinking. We see 1t every day
among people we find retired.
They are lonesome for the old
days, for the companionship Of
the fellows they worked with In
the factories, for those they met
upon other and particularly upon
festive occasions; now they know
few people; we have q lot of
strangers and they know them
not. Oh, dear, somehow, Old Age
seems cruel in many instances. If
we only had something more
than we have, we think we could
make lot of these people hap
py and pleased, even if they are
old and without friends ore rela-
tives.
Joe Monaghan should have
lived on for some years to come.
But what he went through in
army life must have had its eff
feet, even though it didn't appear
until later in life. Joe was fell
low, who liked companionship,
remembered friends of years ago,
and carried on through life as a
good citizens, and a friendly per-
son. Time was nothing to him in
his desire to remember the dead
Of the Civil and Spanish Wars.
He never forgot.
We hope his grave will never
be forgotten.

FOR LATE
CARDINAL OFFERED

Local Catholic clergy and lay
men today rendered expressions Of
regret over the passing Of Cardinal
O'Connell of Boston who died Sat-
urday following a brief illness.
Masses and prayers in the city's
Catholic churches yesterday were
dedicated to the happy repose Of
the soul Of the late church leader
and administrator.
AS far as could be determined
this morning no decision had been
reached among the local clergy as
to possible representation from here
at the funeral Mass and services to
be held in Boston on Friday.
Among those who paid tribute to
the late Cardinal was Rev. John A.
Conlan pastor Of st. Margaret'S
church, Willow street who recalled
the time when the late Cardinal
OConnell stopped overnight at the
parish home of the local pastor
when the latter was stationed at
Windsor Locks. The local pastor
stated that he found the late pre-
late to be a most genial man..

whole" with certain amendments
to eliminate "harsh and unjust
provisions"
Noting administration requests
that both acts be extended in their
present form, the committee
warned that such action would in
effect 'ratify ever illegal act or mis-
take committed and will set q prec-
edent for further commission of
the same illegal acts or mistakes
which the courts will not overturn
because Of ratification by Con-
gress."
The report acknowledged that
the Sterilization program thus far
has "in a measure successfully COM
batted the peril of initiation" but
said the agencies involved often
had gone far beyond the intent of
Congress in applying the controls.
Limitation
The committee bill therefore pro-
posed that the OPA be limited to
applying controls only to those
prices which, on the basis of spe-
cific evidence, are rising or threat
ening to rise, rather than to all
prices generally.
The measure would retain the
present Oct. lis, 194l base for
stabilizing prices but specifically
would require the OPA to adopt
those prices rather than simply
give them due consideration" Adj
justments would be authorized to
allow for increases or decreases in
costs or profits.
Rent control would be made more
flexible by permitting adjustments
"in areas where original rent fixing
was unfair and by empowering
rent directors to adjust individual
ceilings under certain specific con-
ditions. The federal administrator
would be prohibited from requiring
a down payment security deposit
in connection with a property sale,
and would be restricted in other
powers granted in or derived under
the present law.
Amendment
The present court review proce-
dure, under which individuals can
seek legal action against specific
OPA regulations, would be amend
ed by the committee to return to
the district courts the jurisdiction
of which they were deprived by the
act" All appeals from decisions of
the price administrator now are
heard by special OPA court.
The committee proposed changes
under which the war labor board
would be forbidden:
To require any person to sign a
contract Ito which such person
does not voluntarily agree"
To order retroactive wage pay
ments for back period of more
than 80 days.
To require a party to submit a
dispute to arbitration.
To take jurisdiction of disputes
where the question arises as to
whether a union represents a mai
GRITTY Of the employees. To order in
direct wage or salary increase not
in strict conformity with directives
Of the sterilization directors.

BY THE OUT EASTER


Joseph Monaghan, who died last
week was an Out Easter.
Out East was his home, as it
was of all of the New Hartford
MonaghanS, after they came to
Waterbury, some time In the
NinetieS. Other families from
New Hartford also arrived in
Waterbury, and they, too, took up
their residence out this way. A
fine lot of people, welcomed by
the old settlers, to whom they
were introduced at the start and
whose friendship they maintain
ed throughout or until death
ended 1t all Few of those Out
casters are around today, and all
of the New Hartford families
have left, some by death and
others by choice. The neighborly
feeling of these good people can
never be forgotten by those of the
younger lot of the time. They
who were young then, now COM
prise the older folks Of Old Out
East.
Joe Monaghan was a young fell
low when he arrived in Water
bury, just a boy. growing up, with
a firm ambition of becoming one
of Uncle Sans soldiers. And
when the Spanish war broke out
he got his chance, although
rather young; yet he was per-
sistent, and finally was accepted.
He served in the Philippines, and
also was a U. s. soldier in the
Chinese Boxer Rebellion. On fur
Tough, he was the envy of all of
the other young fellows Of the
section. His uniform was smart,
and fitted him in tailor made
fashion. He was indeed a proud
young man as he paraded along
East Main st. past Wall St., in
front of the usual crowd of young
fellows often found at that corner
in those days. Mouths opened
wide, with awe, as Joe often re-
lated his war experiences with
the ones he left behind. He was
of medium build, well set up, and
looked the part of a good soldier.
After several years in the regular
army, he was discharged, and re-
turned home, to go into the fac
tory, Scovill'S where he was en-
ployed for a number of years.
And from that time on, in every
parade, where the Spanish War
