Finding the basis for a disarmament treaty which Germany can freely accept was the supreme problem facing the assembled statesmen of the world. Dollf uss flans Address. was learned Chancellor, Dollf uss plans to address the assembly, placing emphasis on Austria's determination to maintain complete economic and political independence.

The Dollfuss entourage authorized a statement- that they were ready for conversations von Neurath, foreign minister of the Hitler government, if invited. Concerning the report that Prince Otto of Hapsburg had advocated a constitutional monarchy for Austria, similar to England's, Chancellor Dollfuss feels there can be no question in Austria of restoration of the pretender to the throne, any more than there could be question of monarchist restoration in France. Talking with friends, Dollfuss dwelt with admiration on the accomplishments of President Roosevelt. He said that like Roosevelt in America, he was trying to build Austria strong economically. Dollfuss later conferred with Sir John Simon, British foreign secretary.

Sir John also talked to Foreign Minister von Neurath. Davis Intends To Stay. American Ambassador Davis and Hugh Wilson. American minister to Switzerland, planned to stay on through the assembly, participating in conversations aiming at a practicable agreement on disarmament. After denying issuance of counter-proposals reported from Paris, Germans here to attend League sessions characterized as pure invention an article reproduced in the Geneva press stating the German general staff had prepared a plan for invading France through Switzerland.

The presidency of the League Council, became an absorbing political topic among the scores of diplomats and representatives present for the negotiations. One league -official said no candidate was in sight to jeopardize reelection of Francisco CastUla Nejera. An Impression prevailed that an accord is not yet complete between France England and Italy on disarmament provisions to be submit ted to Germany. Says World Feais Germany. Ruedesheim, Germany.

Sept. 24. (AP.) Just prior to taking a plane for Geneva to attend League of Nations and disarmament sessions, Joseph Goebbels, minister of propaganda in the -Hitler government, told a crowd here that "I believe the world looks upon our nation-welding process askance." "The world always distrusts that Germany is getting stronger," he said. "The power of nations, however, lies not in armaments but in the will to live. It is the pacifist nations which always prepare for the next war." Goebbels addressed a "work and peace" meeting at the gigantic Niederwald monument.

"We shall not tire of telling the world that Germany wants peace and must have peace, that no nation can gain anything by another war and that it would be madness to plunge into fresh disaster while not yet recovered from the last one." he said. "The Lord blesses those who deserve His blessing," Goebbels supply of gas will be received at each refueling, giving the ane a 20-hours total capacity. The re- luenng oase will be at Jrioya Bennett Field. Thermos bottles of hot water and orange juice will be included in the supplies to be carried in the plane of the two women aviators. The refueling plane daily will carry aloft three meals prepared especially for the flyers by a dietician.

Mrs. Sansom and Miss Gentry plan to alternate in Uiree-hours shifts at the controls at night so that each may get some sleep. The Elane will be equipped with a ruber air mattress and heavy sleepir bags The problem of securing exercise while confined to the piane has been carefully studied by the flyers. While the cabin of the plane is long enough to permit one to stretch out at full length, it is mt high enough to allow one to stand up. A stationary bicycle, first considered, was ruled out in favor of a rowing machine.

A radio receiving set, for receiving messages and weather reports from the ground, will be part of the plane's equipment. The flyers will also have Very pistol flares fcr giving an alarm in case of motor trouble. As a further precaution, the plane will be equipped with dump valves for emptying surplus gas in event a forced landing is found necessary. Mrs. Sansom, whose husband is head of the Interstate Airways ct Brainard Field, said she will leave on October 6 for Floyd Bennct Field in readiness to take off on the flight.

While awaiting favorable weather, she and Miss Gentry will practice maneuvering with the refueling plane. Hartford Days' Big Sales Event (Continued from Page 1.) buses without charge between 9:30 a. m. and 11 a. m.

on both days of the sale. The Short Line Company will extend a similar courtesy to all who come into Hartford on the buses leaving Colchester at 8:15 a. m. and 10:15 a. m.

and arriving in this city at 9:30 a. m. and 11:30 a. m. Half-fare will be charged on New England Transportation Company buses coming into Hartford during the shopping hours of each day.

Myriad precautions are being taken to insure the best of service to "Hartford Days" shoppers. The sales force of many of the local stores will be nearly doubled and delivery departments will be similarly augmented. To make an all-day shopping expedition a pleasurable as well as profitable experience, local hotels and restaurants will offer attractive "Hartford Days" menus for the two special' shopping days, and Hartford theaters will feature special programs. Decorations Downtown. To provide a festive atmosphere for shoppers the downtown district will be gaily decorated, with flags and bunting.

Increasing employ ment under the NRA, which has inspired new hope and courage, will undoubtedly be reflected in the greater throngs which will- crowd the stores, seeking to take advantage of the values offered for only these two days. "Hartford Days" offer an unpre cedented opportunity to residents of the Metropolitan District of Hart ford, not only to align themrelves solidly behind the NRA by heeding the appeal to "Buy Now!" but to take advantage of pr.ee concessions which are being made for the two sale days in the fact of rising costs cf nearly all commodities Leading merchants of the city are unanimous in their statement that the low prices which will prevail in the stores on Wednesday and Thursday will not return for years to come. While the merchants of Hartford will offer extraordinary values in every line of merchandise- from household furnishings to personal necessities, it is expected that the greatest demand will be felt in the clothing departments. Cooler weather has served as a reminder of the approaching winter and brought the necessity of re-stocked wardrobes sharply home. In anticipation of this demand, buyers for all the local shops have been securing the markets of the country for weeks for suitable merchandise, low in price and high in value and again Hartford is prepared to demonstrate its supremacy both as a national style center and as the trading center of Connecticut.

Federal Aim Domestic Firms to Be Brought Into Market ing Pact By Licensing If Necessary Washington, Sept. 24. (AP.) Determined to get a marketing agreement oi flue-cured tobacco in a hurry, the Farm Administration announced tonight it would bring domestic companies into it through a broad application of licensing f- power if necessary. The Administration said it was near an accord with a group of the larger domestic buyers which would give the growers of flue-cured tobacco 17 cents a pound for the remainder of the marketing year, but that difference still existed. Markets to Reopen.

Heretofore, Secretary Wallace has licensed companies under a market agreement only after a majority of the Industry had agreed -to the pact. It was clearly indicated, how ever that the tobacco concerns would be embraced in the contemplated agreement through li censes, which would make them liable to the Secretary of Agricul ture for violations of the accord. even if all present differences were not ironed out. One reason for a quick accord on the flue-cured agreement is that tobacco markets in North Carolina and South Carolina are to reopen tomorrow. They were closed by orders of the governors because of widespread dissatisfaction with prices for flue-cured.

Proposal of Williams. The proposal to pay 17 cents a pound was part of a plan offered by S. Clay Williams, president of R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, at hearings last Friday to discuss a trade scheme proposed by the Gov ernment.

Williams protested the' Govern ment plan on the ground vhat it would extend Federal control over his company and companies he represented. His alternative proposed that the agreement to pay 17 cents a pound for tobacco be predicated on letting the tobacco manufacturers handle their own business affairs in their own way. Federal Price Plan. The Government's agreement would have given Secretary Wallace, power, tot only to fix prices to be paid growers, but the retail price for cigarettes and other forms of tobacco by the domestic companies. Apparently the question of governmental regulations was still at issue tonight.

The export buyers of tobacco are not represented in the agreement on which conferences are being held About 60 per cent of flue-cured tobacco is exported but Federal officials and representatives of the larger domestic companies feel the volume of tobacco which would be bought through the pact under consideration wouM bring the price paid by the export buyers to parity, or thereabouts. 2 Flyers Ready For Record Try (Continued from Page 1.) Mrs. Frances Marsalis, who circled over Curtiss Field, in their "flying boudoir" for eight days and four hours last summer. Mrs. San-som said she and Miss Gentry hope not only to exceed this mark, but aim toward breaking the men's mark of almost 27 days.

Mrs. Sansom, the first woman in Connecticut to receive a transport pilot's license, recently shattered the New England loop record for women, making 397 consecutive loops in a four-hours flight She won fourth place in a- field of 21 entrants In the second annual Annette Gipson air race at Floyd Ben nett Field in June, and fourth place in the Amelia Earhart race at the Cleveland National Air Races last summer. Nationally known in aviation for her daring exploits, Miss Gentry has figured in several disastrous attempts to break the endurance refueling record. In June, 1929, her plane, "The Answer," running out of gas in a fog, crashed at Roosevelt Field after it had been up overnight. Her co-pilot, Jack Ashcraft, was killed and Miss Gentry was seriously injured.

For months her life was despaired of. Earlier the same year she crashed on the takeoff for an endurance flight. Recently Miss Gentry, the first of the women flyers to establish a woman's solo endurance flight record, started flying again and now she is joining Mrs. Sansom in seeking to set a new record. The two women will make their attempt in the "Outdoor Girl." a Curtiss Thrush six-passenger monoplane, powered with a Wright Whirlwind motor.

All but the pilot's seat will be removed to provide room for supplies and an extra gas tank. A Curtiss Robin monoplane will serve as a refueling ship. Refueling operations will be in charge of Fred Fetterman, mechanic, at Floyd Ben. ntt Field, who has supervised the mechanical hook-up for many transatlantic flyers, including Post and Gatty and Mattern. A Pilot for the refueling ship has not yet been chosen.

Although Mrs. Sansom announced the flight will start about October 14. it is the intention of the two women pilots to take off as early in October as weather conditions permit. Contact is being maintained by the flyers with Dr. H.

H. Kimball. New York meteorologist, who has predicted that an early frost will end about October 13 to be followed by cool air, free of fog. In the event the cool spell occurs earlier, the flight will get under way before October 14. Mrs.

Sansom will be at the controls of the "Outdoor Girl" during the hazardous process of refueling she said Sunday. The endurance plane, equipped with two wing tanks, will carry an extra tank in the fuselage. Ascending to an altitude of 2000 feet, the "refueling 6hip will fly directly over the "Outdoor Girl." Both ships will maneuver until they are about 30 feet apart. Actual refueling requires only a few moments but the job of establishing contact may take an hour. As soon as both ships are ready, a 35-foot hose line will be lowered, contact establishid and the gasoline emptied into the ftisa-lape tank.

From the fuselage tame the gas will be pumped bv the women fivers into the wing tanks. According to plans completed by A democracy of men and women who perform their tasks, both private and public, in the spirit of reverence for the God of right and of regard for fellow sharers in the common life, is the democracy that has come down to us as a legacy from the founders of Windsor, Rev. Roscoe Nelson, declared in his address at the tercentenary community service held at the John Fitch High School in Windsor Sunday night. Six hundred attended the service. Six Protestant ministers and two Catholic clergymen sat on the plat- form with Daniel Howard, chairman of the Tercentenary committee.

Rev. John F. Quinn offered a prayer, Rev. Victor L. Greenwood read from the scriptures, and Rev.

Howard Dunn gave the benediction. The other clergymen on the platform were Rev. Theodore E. Frank, Rev. Donald H.

Dorchester, Rev. Raymond G. LaFontaine and Rev. L. H.

Dorchester of Simsbury. The service opened with a selection by the Winfield Trio, composed of Stanley Peteroski. Edward Mann and Thomas McManus, who played "Adagio from Sonata II" by Beethoven. Choir of 50. Two anthems were sung by a peked chor of- 50 voices under the direction of Miss C.

Louise Dicker-man. They sang a vesper hvmn and the anthem. "Festival Te Deum in Flat," by Dudley Buck. Miss Helen Hudson, of the First Church choir, sang the soprano solos. The Windsor Tercentenary hvmn, by Miss Dickerman, was sung by the audience.

The words of this hymn written for the occasion are: "Spreading o'er hills and plains Following the river's shore. Home of our fathers, old Windsor lies. Three hundred years have passed; We hold their mem'ry fast. Their work wa good, their counsels wise. Freedom to worship God; Freedom in government; On these foundations which they laid down Their sons have bulldsd well Their grandsons love to tell The story of the Ancient Town.

Courage and faith was theirs. Courage and faith be ours In years to come, as in years gone by. Justice and liberty. Peace and lib3ny Peace and serenity We ask cf Thee. Lord Most High." 40 Years Pastor.

Rev. Mr. Nelson said "1 have spoken of the Fathers' faith in God: of their faith in man. as a child of God; and I have said that upon such foundations our democracy rests, our liberties depend. Let me improve my theme bv admonishing you to cherish your inheritance, and bequeath it undimmed to your children" It was fitting that Rev.

Roscoe Nelson" should be the clergyman selected for the community service address, since he served for 40 vears as minister of the oldest church in Windsorthe First Church. This church founded May 31, 1630. came to Windsor in 1639. with Rev. John Warham and his ccngreation.

Rev. Mr. Nelson is now minister emeritus of the church, and occasionally preaches there. Wilson Not Asked To Meet Farley (Continued from Page 1.) compliment cn the conduct of the dinner from Governor Cross. Wilson Silent "I don't care to discuss it," was all that was forthcoming from State Chairman Wilson.

Mrs. Fannie Dixon Welch of Columbia. National Committeewoman, p.nd president of the Federation, explaining that the arrangements were in charge of the Bridgeport club, said, "I regret exceedingly that Mr. -Wilson, seeing the meeting advertised, did not come. No invitations were lrsued.

There was no offense intended." Chairman Wilson is the candidate of United States Senator Augustine Lonergan for United States District Attorney here, but does not have the support of National Committeeman McNeil nor Dr. Dolan, and Senator Lonergan was in active opposition to the appointment of Dr. Dolan to the revenue post. Mr. McNeil and Dr.

Dolan, with Mrs. Welch who was announced at the meeting Saturday by Mr. Farley as the choice for Collector of the Port, are the leaders of the New Guard in Connecticut and directed the unsuccessful effort in the spring or 1932 to get a Roosevelt delegation from Connecticut. Mrs. Harris Out.

Mrs. Harris, the vice-chairman of the State Central Committee, was one of the Smith supporters in the state, and was placed in her present position on the committee when the Old Guard Majority refused to reelect as vice-chairman Mrs. Mabel McQueeny of Bridgeport. Mrs. Harris earlier this year resigned her place on the executive board of the Federation, but has been very active in her capacity as vice-chairman of the State Central Committee in organizing the women of the state for political work.

Mr. Smith, named secretary of the committee at the behest of Governor Cross, who also selected Chairman Wilson and Mrs. McQueeny for the vice-chairmanship, on several occasions publicly has decried factionalism in the party and declared he recognized only Democrats, neither Old Guard nor New Guard. Mr. Smith's group Is known in some party circles as the Inner Guard.

G. Miller, the early sh ft of drivers had already appeared according to schedule. At the Bryant Chapmen dairy it was said a company unicn of drivers has recently been formed and that no strike was anticipated, Cabs Still Working. Reports that the truck drivers' strike had affected taxicab companies could not be verified early today. The Yellow Cab Co.

24. (AP.) F. E. Crowiher, business agent of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Helpers of America, said tonight between 2000 and 3000 truck operators would go out on strike tomorrow in Connecticut. Crowiher.

who said his organization is affiliated with the American Federation oi Labor, said the decis. ion to walk -out was reached at a mass meeting of the truckmen here late in the day. He asserted that through motor freight lines between New England cities and New York would be tied up by the walk-out. Thi truckers, he said, were asking for increased wages and shorter hours and also recognition of their union, which he said, the operators had refused. Meriden.

Sept. 24. (AP.) Stephen L. Smith, an official of the H. T.

Smith Express Company, which operates a fleet of trucks, said late tonight that no word of an impending strike had reached his concern or its employees. The latter were said to be prepared to go to work as usual tomorrow morning. Reports reaching here were that many trucks were halted late tonight along the highway between here and New Haven and at Bridgeport. Riot Breaks Up Football Game (Continued from Page 1.) struck him and place him under arrest. "Let me get that Number 52.

Let that Number 52." cried the policeman trying to make headway in the crowd, but children were entangled about his feet." "Get the cops. Get the cops. Kill the cops," shouted voices in the milling, fist-flinging crowd. New Britain players and fans were trying to break through to give their aid to Policeman May and Anthony Valent ne. Small boys, burrowing in the crowd, made this impossible.

The crowd was massed tightly. Policeman Fires Into Air. Policeman Valentine thought of his revolver. He pulled it out, held it aloft, shouted and fired. This had its effect.

The explosion caused the crowd of fighting, shoving men to pause briefly. This gave Policeman Valentine his opportunity. He brandished his stick: "Get back or you'll get hit." Back and forth he whipped his stick, creating an opening about him. Mothers were trying now to get the children back from their burrowing. Other mothers, whose sons were on the Middletown team and in the middle of the melee, were shouting pleas for them to come away before they got hurt.

"Aw, I'm all right. Maw," one shouted and ducked a blow. The opening about the policeman was getting wider when word spread that police reinforcements had been called and were on the way. Players Hurried Into Bus. Cooler heads among the visiting players called the embattled players out of the fray and hurried them toward the bus.

The crowd surged, pell-mell after them. the gate another melee was In the making when Policeman Joseph Curry used his gun. He fired one shot. The players got into their bus and roared away, down the road to Berlin and Middletown. At the moment the police reinforcements, with Policeman Thomas Lee, strongest and biggest on the force, leading and ready for action, came hurry.ng up to the gate.

But the rioting was over. Fans felt of their bruises and others moved about telling what they thought and saw. The officials put their heads' together and declared the game a victory for the Pawnees. Scorekeepers at the game had the numbers of the players and their names. Opposite "No.

52" they had J. Malone of. Middletown listed. It was reported that a warrant for the arrest of the player who struck Policeman May would be made out. Police said Sunday night, however, that no warrant had been issued.

Humphrey will teach the "United States as a World Power," a course surveying those forces-political, social, economic, educational and international which have raised America to its present status among the nations. While primarily a lecture course, the subject will be supplemented by readings, conferences and paper work.

Professor Charles J. Rohr.is offering a course in "International Law and International Relations." During the first semester a nontechnical survey will be made of the history and fundamental principles of the society of nations. The second semester will be devoted to a study of the relations between the states in the -international community as exemplified in present-day diplomatic procedure. In addition outstanding auctions of the day will be analyzed and discussed. "Modern History of Europe" will be the subject taken by Dr.

Irwin A. Buell, director of the extension. Especial attention will be given to the last 100 years and a detailed study will be made of the twentieth century period with stress being placed on the political, cultural and economic background of Europe and the evolution of present-day institutions, governments and ideas. Dr. Buell is also offering a course in geology and "History of Connecticut'." Classes in the extension school will begin Wednesday.

Registration periods will be held Monday and Tuesday from 2:30 m. to 9 p. m. in the Hopkins Street office of the Hartford Public High School. Classes will be held in the late afternoon and evening hours from Monday to Friday.

Information concerning the place of meeting of each class may be obtained at the time of registration from Dr. Buell, director, who will confer with prospective students about any of the courses. Truck Drivers Qf State Strike (Continued from Pace 1.) held up. Mr. Lonergan said.

Trucks of D. Mashkin, furniture mover, in East Hartford, were a'sd held up by the strikl. The drivers in many instances sat down and played cards awaiting developments. Everett J. Arbour, general manager, and Joseph Arbour, president, of the Consolidated Motor Truck Line, New Britain, were called to the company's New Haven office Sunday night At the New Britain office of the company it was reported that trucks had gone out as scheduled.

The Hartford office of this firm said that there were- about 75 trucks on the road, operating out of Springfield, New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford. About five or six trucks went out of Hartford Sunday night, it was reported at the local office. Says Conditions Deplorable. Mr. Lonergan said that he had no Idea of the number of trucks that will be tied up By the strike.

Conditions in the trucking industry have been deplorable, Mr. Lonergan said. He criticized the alleged working of drivers more than 100 hours a week and longer and intimated that taxicab drivers, some of whom he-said are earning an average of $7 a week will be the next to walk out. They belong to the same union as the truck drivers. Taxicab drivers of one concern are working 84 hours a week, Mr.

Lonergan charged. Confirmation of the impending' strike of the truckers was first obtained at the Labor Temple on Park Street Sunday night, but Myles W. Illingworth, executive secretary of the Motor Truck Association of Connecticut, had no information relative to the threatened walkout. Mr. Illingworth said that members of the Motor Truck Association, who operate about 2000 trucks in the state, are awaiting final approval of the code for the industry, which is expected to be in full force within the next two or three weeks.

Some Under Code. Some members of the association are now operating under a tentative code. Mr. Illingworth explained, which calls for a 48 hour week. Schedules are being adjusted gradually and some truckers have already secured their Blue Eagles and are now working under the code, Mr, Illingworth said.

He denied that members of the association are working their drivers the long hours claimed by Mr. Crowther," but admitted that non-members in the independent class might be employing their help longer than specified in the code Difficulty in adjusting the operating schedules coupled with the fact that the final code is now up for action were held to be factors in causing delays. Last week, Mr. Illingworth said, the Federated Truck Associations of America and the American Highway Freight Association merged to fcrm the American Trucking Associations, which is the reccg-niz3d organization of the industry today. Under the code proposed by this association, drivers would work 48 hours a week.

The minmum was stipulated is 40 cents an hour for drivers and $14 a week for cfifce help Members of fie association, numbering about 250. are paying more than 40 cents an hour, Mr. Elling-worth said. Inquiry at the Labor Temple disclosed that there was a mass' meeting pf truckers at 10:30 a. m.

Sunday, Teamsters, laundry, truck drivers, chauffeurs and taxicb drivers were represented at this meeting, which was addressed by Mr. Crowther. Complain of Hours. The principal complaint of the drivers attending the meeting at the Labor Temple Sunday is that they are compelled to work long hours. They are also dissatisfied with the pay they are receiving, and are displeased with general working conditions.

One driver charged that he was on the road most of the tims. getting as little as two hours sleep a night on manv occasions. Local milk delivery companies at midnight Sunday had heard no word that any of their drivers, "A man is a Pilgrim, not because he has a piece of furniture that came over in the but because he has a Pilgrim spirit in his soul," commented Eev. Donald Dorchester at Trinity Methodist Church, Windsor, Sunday morning. Manv of us have lost the custom of looking back.

It is a good thing at times to look back to last year, to last century, to three centuries ago. in order to see whether progress has been made. The Century of Progress Exposition makes one thing emphatically clear, that in the realm of invention, surprising, amazing progress has been made. The stage coach was displaced by the railway and now the air transportation is another stage in progress. In all mechanical lines great progress has been made.

In the realm of character, has similar progress been made, that is a question worth considering? Is the man who drives that plane a finer type of man than the man who held the reins of that stage coach? Are the men and women who are preparing the floats for the Windsor parade and will picture the historic scenes on those floats, of the same high of character as those early settlers, the story of whose hardihood is now to be pictured in play and parade in the historic old town of Windsor? Real Improvement. The most important sphere of progress is the progress in human life, customs and character. The Hebrew people were ancestor worshippers. Paul was a Jew and he often drew vital lessons from the past. Once he was speaking to Christians at Corinth and he saio? to them: "I would not have you ever forget how our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea." He referred to the pillar of cloud and the parting of the sea, which brought destruction to Pharaoh when he attempted with his chariots to follow the Israelites escaping from the Egyptian bondage.

Paul spoke in this way because he found inspiration In thinking of those men who had been in their graves 1400 years. The odd thing is that he spoke of those Jews as Our Fathers" when he was speaking in the gentile city of Corinth to many who were Gentile Christians. There was no Jewish blocd in the veins of these Gentiles, so why should Paul say: "I would not have vou forget 'our who passed through the sea." It would be like a modern patriot, descended from the Pilgrims, standing before a lot of so called foreigners, Italians and Austrians and Lithuanians and saying to them: "I would not have you forget our fathers, the Pilgrims who passed through the Sea and came and landed at Plymouth Rock on Cape Cod Why did Paul so speak? Because he knew that there was physical lineage and also spiritual lineage. He was surrounded by race proud Pharisees who were always shouting, "We are the sons of Abraham, we are the aristocrats."

Pseudo-Pilgrims. Even so today we can ask irfthe same wav many searching questions of our hearts as to whether we have a right to wear the name of the Pilgrim. His name is one of the fairest names in history, because he embodied independence, unselfishness, noble courage and heroic faith Many claim to be lineally descended from the Pilgrim. We must remember that the Pilgrim today is the man who has the spirit of the early Pilgrim. Blood descent means nothing, pride of ancestry means nothing, to have one's house stacked full of thousands of dollars of antique furniture and to live- in a home where a Pilgrim once lived, do not make one a Pilgrim.

A man is a Pilgrim not because he has a piece of furniture that came over on the "Mayflower." but because he has Pilgrim spirit in his soul. Such men are needed in this hour. Many a man who claims to have the Pilgrim blood in his veins, no longer enters the church where his fathers worshiped, except at Easter and Christmas and no longer holds sacred the writings that his fathers reverenced. Such men have no right to call themselves Pilgrims. To be a Pilgrim we must stand ready to be buffeted, to be scorned, to have to stand alone for a princi Deaths KOWAL At St Francis Hospital.
