Compares Juvenile And Parental
Delinquency

Judge Ernest v. Keith of Dover,
presiding judge of the Court of
Common Pleas and the Juvenile
Court for the lower counties, was
the guest speaker at the weekly
dinner meeting of the Milford Ro-
tary Club, held Monday evening at
the community building.
Judge Keith compared Juvenile
delinquency and parental delin-

parents are often the worst often
ders, and it was his belief that
homes that are broken are often
the source of trouble for the child.
The response to Judge Keith was

| of intolerance of Christians and in

of Hypocrisy If we are to pick

Unfit to Serve
In a public memorandum the
Civil Service Commission stated last
week that. IAN applicant or an
appointee found to be a member
of the Communist party or found
to be follower of the Communist
party line has no place in the gov
eminent in time of war or in time Of
peace.
"Such a person has clearly indi-
Gated that he is willing to take
orders from political group To-
Gated in foreign nation, and
whose first loyalty is to foreign
government. Such a person can
not, should not and must not be
entrusted with the duties of a pub
lie official"
The new policy is a bit tardy
but none the less most welcome.
How successful it will be remains
to be seen. On the face of it the
Commission will not allow in posi-
lions Of public service any of the
comparatively few Communists who
have courage enough to admit their
ah1liation or their loyalty to the
party line. But an even bigger job
for the Commission is to get out of
public service the many whom 1t
has declared unfit but who are al
ready in.
AND THE NEW LINE
The about-face of the agile Party
Line Of the Communist Party in
America - their decision that the
country'S postwar political issues
will best be decided within the
form Of the two-party system ira
ditional in our country does not
lessen but merely change the ma
ture of the danger they constitute
in America. They will cease to exist
as a political party, it is true, but
they will now attempt to worm
their way into posts of power in the
major political parties, and with
their typical honesty 1t will be
done by posing as anything but
Communists.
WERFEL'S BERNADETTE
One reviewer of the premier
showing of the movie version of
The Song of Bernadette called it
"Subdueingly beautiful" The book
has been put into a 2 hours and %
minutes movie and it will open in
New York this week. The roll of
the Blessed Mother in her appari-
tons at the grotto Is played by an
actress whose name is not listed
and whose identity appears to be
still a secret even in Hollywood.
This seems quite in keeping with
the reverence with which goth Gen.
fury Fox attempted to handle the
film throughout.
A mother of two children, Jenni-
fer Jones, who plays the part OF
Bernadette gave the movie industry
a jolt a week before the premier
when she announced that she was
separating from her husband. This
seems unfortunate and regrettable
The circumstances of the separa-
ton, however, we do not know, but
we saw 1t uncriticized by one who
should know. ----- -~

Effective participation in fields Of
politics, economics and education,
renewed effort in foreign mission
work, and fresh approach to inter-
racial problems, he said, will bring
churches forward to new frontiers.
There exists, he emphasized, a
need for Protestant churches to
come to terms" with tn eCatholic
church on projects of postwar reli-
gious life.
At the morning session, Professor
Matthew Spinka of the Hartford
Seminary Foundation discussed
Changes Confronting the Church"
specifically in Russia and Germany.
ut is remarkable, he said, that
despite severe prosecutions which
the church has suffered in Russia,
over 40 per cent of the people still
remain faithful
ION the basis of the best avail
able information, 1t may be hoped
that the change Of the Soviet gov
eminent in its attitudes toward the
Russian church is a permanent one,
and 1t is to the interest of Christen-
dom as a whole to strengthen the
Russian church." he said.
In Germany, DR.. Spinka ex-
planned, it has been the intention
of the Nazi government to use the
church as an instrument of its own
propaganda. 1.-THE defeat of the
Nazi regime will free the German
church once more" he predicted.
The 1914 program of the Connec-
ticut Council was discussed at an
afternoon symposium, led by Rev.
Everett A. Babcock, executive secre-
tary. An enlarged vacation school
program, projects for the states in
migrant population, work with min
GRITTY groups and rural communi-
ties, and formation of more numer-
Gus local councils or churchwomen
were stressed.
