S. The previous week Ihe figure was 48,119.

Labor Commissioner Rcnato E. Ricciuti attributed the drop To the continued high level of bene fit exhaustions. Persons in certain categoric 1 revival. The trouble is that too few are willing to pay the price of many want to worship in church on Sunday and then live for themselves the rest of the week. That is sham religion.

In the Bible, in II Kings, the 17th Chapter and 41st verse we find these words: "So these nations feared the Lord, and served (heir graven images, both their children and their children's children; as did their fathers, so do they unto this day." These people were religious but their religion did them no good. When we truly become Christians cur closeness with Christ' makes us hate the nins we used to commit and we want to live lor His glory and not like the world. The second part of your question implies that we deserve God's blessings, because we nre good. Actually, God's goodness is poured out upon us- because of His love and grace, and not because of any supposed good ness on our part. -When we ac- Christ we find that God's grace is sufficient for any and problems but that because we put Him and not nelf first.

Finally, to be religious is not enough. Faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord transforms us into new people and we realize our own unworthiness and His marvelous srace and love.

BHA PREPARES HOUSING BILLS Legislation revising the slate public housing program will be sought by the Bridgeport Housing Authority. The BHA indicated last night that it is planning to introduce at least two bills on.

the subject in the 1959 session of the General Assembly opening in January. As discussed at the BHA's monthly meeting, one bill would create a new state commissioner of housing to handle functions presently split between the Public Works commissioner and the Commission on Services for El- CAPE VERDEANS FETE UN PORTUGAL ENVOY (lerly Persons. The second bill would establish new flexibility in the setting of rents in projects. Unanimous Approval The ideas, as outlined by BHA executive director Harold Poolc, drew unanimous preliminary approval from the four board members. It was agreed they will meet next Tuesday at 5 p.m.

in BHA offices at the Greene apartments, to go over the wording of the ideas with BHA counsel John Gill. The formal proposals will then be aired at Hartford on Nov. 24 at a public hearing to be conducted by the Commission on lil- derly Services. All BHA members and the director indicated they will attend. Mr.

Pooie said establishment of a commissioner of housing "would solve the housing chaos in the slate." He said by this he meant the present arrangement under which moderate rental housing is administered by the State Public Works department, and projects specifically for aged persons are handled through, the Commission on Elderly Services. Cites Need "If there were a commissioner in charge now, ways and means would have been found to build some of the elderly projects," he said, referring to the fact that no such projects have yet been launched despite the appropriation of funds by the last Legislature. In answer to a question from the Rev. Edward Xibell, member ot the BHA, whether the Commission on Elderly Services isn't meeting the need, Mr. Poolc said it is "a start, but a commissioner is needed in charge." Regarding rents, the members endorsed Mr.

Poolc's suggestion that a bill be proposed to establish a subsidy which wnul'd allow low rent in low-income elderly cases. It was also suggested provisions might be made to overcome difficulties experienced iy the BHA last Summer in get- ling approval for rent reductions in times ol unemployment. The Nov. 24 public hearing is being conducted by the Commission on Elderly Services lo help it in making recommendations to the Governor and General Assembly for improvements in the program. DR.
