 MT. Moran was close observer of all party affairs and happen ings. Often we met him at the dif- ferent conventions. called for the nomination of candidates. In those times each delegate had to arise and state his choice, if there was a contest. And upon many occasions, balloting took up the greater part of the night. And, my, what crowds; everything was open, and the public could come and go at will. These meetings at first were Hot" but when every thing was over, the chairmen gen. erally brought all factions to- gether, and they were friends once more. This was one of the reasons for Waterbury electing so many Democrats to office during the past 50 years or so. Just think of it, since 1890, the Republicans have had only five mayors, Daniel Webster and Thomas D. Barlow in the nineties, John P. Elton, Wn B. Hotchkiss and Wm. H. Sand land, after 1900; and MT. Sand land was the only one to succeed himself. Some record, we'll say.
 Tom Moran played his hand at many political conventions. He saw and took part in all of the activities of the Democratic party of the city.

sign for the window, Miss Marian T. Leahy, of Elmhurst, N. Y. was declared the winner. The Wash ington committe is headed by Mrs George H. O'Connor and Mrs. George R. DeBruler, two ladies who have for some time been benefactors of the National Shrine of the Immacu- late Conception.
 Co-Foundress
 "St. Louise was the co-foundress, with St. Vincent de Paul, of the Ladies of Charity, whose first as- sembly was held at Chatillon-le Dombes in 1617," said Rev. John J. Reilly, director of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Concep- tion. "St. Louis died on March 15, 1860 and was inferred in the Chapel of the Visitation, and Abbe Gobil- lon bears witness to a miraculous incident at the tomb, which was testified to by hundrdes of trust worthy witnesses at the same time. They testified that there arose from the tomb a cloud which ex- haled 8 perfume like that of vio- lets and iris, and so strong was the delicious fragrance that those who prayed at the tomb, while 1t lasted, carried it away in their clothes, sisters taking it to those who were sick in the infirmary," !" Abbe Gobillon said further, That after having taken every possible precaution to examine if this was not the effect of some natural cause he failed to find any to which it could be attributed!
 "A short time after her canoniza- tion the body of Saint Louise was from the original resting place and although 274 years had passed the fragrance of violetS still Saint Louise's canoniza- tion is believed to have be enpro- delayed for such an age as the present, that her great lead ership in caring for the poor might oe brought into greater prominence by the fact that just now a suffer- ing world is so sorely in need of such leadership.
 Perpetrate Memory
 '~The Ladies of Charity have kept alive the memory of this miraculous event by sponsoring nationwide observance of St. Louise's day, en- couraging on that day the use of violets and iris. It is also part of their plan to make St. Louise better known, that they are placing D stained glass window in her mem ory in the National Shrine of the Conception.

BY THE OUT EASTER


 In the death of Thomas B. Moran of 362 Willow street, Wa terbury loses a member of an old time family that for years occu- pied and lived in a familiar home stead in the upper part of Cooke street, section of the city now we'll built up, but which for years or in Toms boyhood days was more or less made up entire- ly of farm land. Thus. 1t was that MT. Moran was able to well relate various incidents of that part of the city at a time when he roamed all of the farms. and pitched hay on his own fathers land for the well stocked animal barn.
 Native of City
 Tom Moran, of course, was Wa terbury born. He knew the city, its people, their customs and hab- its, and generally everything per- taining to the families of years back. He was book of informa- tion to those of us who now and then sought certain data. for his memory was keen. and alert to local history. The name in itself, Moran, was always associated with Cooke street in the mention of that old time highway for MT. Moran's father was widely known and remembered by all of the people of his day. The touch of political influence the elder Mor- an held during the Perry Morris regime in the old Board of &c., lectmen had its effect often in the rebuilding of upper Cooke @hxeet from an OK cart road to an improved highway.
 And later when Tom Moran was in the business of ice selling, from the Heffrin interests, re- frigerators were not on the mar ket and the old fashioned ice box prevailed. His work. there fore, carried him into many homes of the city, and his ac- quaintanceship was thereby en- larged. Happy and contented. smiling and laughing, Tom was a welcome individual in the ave- xage home. Tall and wiry, he could manage and juggle a cake os fec in a manner that proved his adeptness to the trade. Heff- rms pond has since been ac- essired by the city and Is now a part of Fulton park.
 Health Inspector
 Tn latter years. or since the ad- vent of the frigidaire. MT. Moran retired from the ice business. He was ct one time connected with the Department of Public Health as an Inspector, and later gave this up to SO Into the factory.
 Like all of the Cooke street Morals, Tom was c strong Demo- crat, 6 reliable party man, de- pendable In the preliminaries pre- ceding . political battle, and a diiigeFit worker on election day. He dld this regularly before he sver asked or sought q favor from hls party.

nomic administration and other gov

Rationing-In Japan all food and
clothing is rationed as we'll as medi-
cines, gasoline and fuel such as coal,
charcoal, kerosene and wooden clogs
(shoes). Food is distributed to Jap
anese consumers through local neigh
borhood associations that issue the
rations.
Shortages-Rice and fish, the two
staples of Japanese diet, are distrib-
uted under controls. The supply of
cotton textiles is inadequate. If Jap
anese are able to buy new clothing,
they must be- satisfied with apparel
made of "sufu', a synthetic fabric
that shreds after a few washings.
1t is estimated that Japanese civ
ilians subsist today on approximately
20 per cent less food than they did
at the beginning of the war. The
yearly rice consumption of the Japa-
nese has been reduced from $40
pounds per capita to $40 pounds.
trictions-Luxuries, amusements
and railroad travel are restricted
There are no afternoon newspapers
The Japanese may not make railroad
trips of more than approximately so
miles, even on urgent personal bust
ness without police permit.
Increased Taxes-Taxes on income
property, housing, business and lux
uries have been increased. The in
come tax rate has been raised approx
imately five per cent, from a mini
mum rate of 10 per cent to a mini
mum of Is per cent.
Higher Living costs-Although run
away initiation has been avoided in
Japan by rationing and price control
measures, the cost of living has risen
substantially since 1897. Real earn
ings, or the amount of goods and serv-
ices that wages will buy, have de-
clined. The cost of living index for
Tokyo in 1910 was so per cent higher
than it was in 1867.
Prices of tea, charcoal, firewood,
fruits, textiles, clothing, paper, news
papers and electric light bulbs were
higher in 1914 than they had been in
1943
Compulsory Labor Service-No able
bodied japanese man is allowed to be
idle. All male Japanese between the
ages of IL and so and all unmarried
females between IL and 40, must be
registered with the labor exchange
under terms of a national service act
called Emergency Mobilization of
National Labor" Japanese men are
forbidden to work in II occupations
classified as non-essential to the war.
These jobs must be filled exclusively
by women. Workers can be arrested
