The program under which the Dutch National War Graves Adop- tion Committee cares for the graves of U. s. soldiers buried in Holland will be discussed by Mrs. Willem Nichiels Van Kessenich, cofounder of the committee, Wednesday night at Waterbury Catholic High School.
 Mrs. Van Kessenich will describe the care given the 19,000 graves at Margraten, American Military Gem etery, near Maastricht in the prov ince of Linburg, where her husband is mayor. Although many of the soldiers buried there are unknown, the committee is caring for all the graves.
 Among the known graves are those of a Waterbury and Bethlehem SOL dier.. They are S/Sgt. Robert T. H. Brownell, son of MT. and Mrs. Lin coin F. Brownell, 379 Chase Park way, and Pfc. Godfrey Stone, Jr., son of MT. and Mrs. Godfrey Stone, "Sheepfold," Bethlehem. Both were members of the 102d Infantry Divi- sion.
 Mrs. Van Kessenich was flown here by the Royal Dutch Air Lines to contact every family who has 8 son buried at Margraten. It is the second largest American Cemetery in Europe. Anyone who believes their war dead may be buried in Margraten is urged to contact the War Graves Adoption Committee in Maastricht.
 Between 40 and 50 thousand peo- pie visited the graves at the cem- etery on Memorial Day, Mrs. Van Kessenich said. Every one of the graves was decorated with Dutch flowers, she added.

MT. and Mrs. Patrick Fitzpatrick, of East Liberty Street, will mark the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage next Monday. Both will attend aspecial Mass in their honor at 6 A. M. in the morning. at St. Francis Xavier Church and will welcome their many friends and relatives at a reception some twelve hours later at Washington Park Community House.
 Its been like a day in the gar- den" says Mir. Fitzpatrick of his many years of marital bliss. Both he and his wife recall their we'd ding day vividly.
 They arrived Nat the old Tmmac- ulate Conception Church on East Main Street in a hack, if yon please. The bride, a lass weighing not a bit more than 90 pounds, was attired in emerald green silk. her long skirts trailing the dirt sidewalk, and she wore roses in her hair.
 It was not the costume of Water bury brides of the day to wear white satin and Q veil of illusion, because as Mrs. Fitzpatrick explained, You couldn't buy a bridal gown in the whole city"
 A reception immediately followed in the couples ne whome on Cole Street. across from St. Mary's Par ochial school. Two rooms were com- pletely furnished, the other awaited finishing touches. The exact num- Der of guests could not be estimated, because people kept coming and go- ing the whole day long But it was likely hundred" recalled Mir. Fitz- patrick, because we sure had a houseful.'
 Mrs. Fitzpatrick was a thrifty young bride. She recalls their com pletely furnished fnenage cost them Si50. And it was quality stuff. Two chairs from the original menage are still in use as is their original flat. ware. And the rest is in the cellar" said MT. Fitzpatrick indicating a nostalgia for the Victorian bric-a- brac and curlycues. A mantel clock is perhaps the most prized of all  their early possessions. Pat bought one for $350. And I thought 1t was far too expensive. So I went down and changed 1t for one costing $2.50," related the lady of the house.
 At that time, the young husband earned SITS a day for 10 hours service as fireman at Farrel Foun- dry. He worked six days a week, bringing home a pay envelope con- taining Sl050.
 But his wife knew how to manage well and saved a plentiful such each week, though their rent was @ monthly. Mrs. Fitzpatrick, said her husband proudly, was a real housewife. She baked. and canned. and sewed. And they got along without financial difficulties.
 MT. Fitzpatrick worked for the Farrel Foundry for a quarter of a century, later entering the employ ment of Randolph Gloves, where he spent the next IS years. In 1928 he

became janitor at the Duggan School and held that position until his retirement last January.
 Both were born in AbbeleSe, Queens County, Ireland, but be- came acquainted in Waterbury at the home of Mrs. Fitzpatrick's aunt, the late Mrs. Esther Hardy of River Street.
 They attribute their half-eentury of happiness together to the. fact that each had tried to live a good life and never got into any trouble. :"
 On one point, however. there was a variance of opinion Because when Mrs. Fitzpatrick added: i've always allowed my wife to be boss" !" his spouse of fifty years exclaimed, Don't you believe it. It's the wo- man who has to give in to her husband"
 But whatever the formula. 1t is apparent that this magnificent couple, their hearts filled with gratitude for the blessings of still being together, of lasting health, and many friends, are happiest be- cause their God had so willed 1t.
