 Splendid Work

Miss Maureen Casey, a student oi 1eavenworth High School, broadcast her letter on St. Joseph's Home over Station WATR yesterday afternoon It was part of the publicity cam paign arranged to insure the suc- cess of the coming Community Chest drive. Miss Casey Is one of ten high school students chosen to compete in an essay contest for savings bonds offered by the Ca tholic Women's Council and the Community Chest, Inc, of Water bury.
 On Monday afternoon at 5:15 o'clock Howard Ford, student at Crosby High School, will read his tribute to the Veterans Advisory center.
 Miss Casey's letter to her mother was as follows:
 Dear Mother:
 About six years ago, like so many other people, as you most likely remember, we found our selves out of a home. You were able to find only one room on the outskirts of the town but there were rules saying NO Children Allowed" As I remember 1t you were quite undecided what to do. So you decided to give me up and put me in home for awhile and St, Joseph's was and still 1t the best in Waterbury because 1t gave me chance at new kind of life with youngsters my own age and kindly sisters to guide us In the right tracks.
 At the time was at St. Joseph's Home the sisters there were Sister Calixte and Sister Joseph. Sister Joseph took me under her wing and told me stories, taught me good manners, and helped me with my school work.
 Don't think we had all play and no work. On the contrary we had our chores to do and we all took our turn making beds, washing dishes, dusting, and doing the various tasks assigned us. Sister Calixte got permission from Father Valantiejus to let us go to the movies and other similar ac- tivities.
 I am even grateful now that our bad luck forced you to place me among the St, Joseph sis- ters for I realize what fine work they do from my own experience.
 hope in the future, now that you can, you will contribute gen. erously to the 27 Red Feather Services of the Community Chest.

Some played outstanding parts in the struggle and the divisions are now listed in history for conspicuous gallantry and courage.
