 Religion Played Part
 The important part religion played In the growth of Naugatuck will be outlined at the pageant commemo. rating the tooth anniversary of the founding Of Naugatuck to be held on the Futile school grounds, June l7th. Rev. T. Bradley Longstaff Is in charge of this presentation.
 Supplementing this presentation Will be an episode Of the pageant, Sunday School Concert" prepared and directed by Mrs. Mary G, Nc. Cleary and Edgar Wyatt. This epi. sode extends from an interesting custom which prevailed from that theme. It was the custom of the Congregational church around ls40. lS45 to hold a Sunday school con- cert in the basement of the church.
 The name Deacon Hoadley used for a character in the episode who leads the concert was selected be. cause 1t is known that he was one of the deacons at that time.
 The hymns chosen for the con. gregational singing at the presenta. ton June l7 were found in an old hymnal published in 1927. This hynlnal was found in the Congre- gational church. SO 1t can be as- sumed that 1t may have been in use at that time, le44.
 Patrick H. Kelley will serve as narrator for the history of the de. velopment of the churches for this part of the pageant.
