Heretofore the poliee have peen in- clined to deal leniently with these “rookies,” but of late patlence has ceased to be a virtue with the guard- lans of the peace and the more obnox- lous “rookies” are rounded up, lodged in the police station haled before the police court and dealt with as the law directs. Now these rookies are given mo more liberty in New London than is_permitted the average citizen. It «s well for Uncle Sam that so comparatively few of his nephews be- come so disorderly when given free- dom beyond. his army reservation, and it is fortunate that the great majority of his nephews are law-abiding soldiers no matter where they may be. But for the good behavior of the majority there would be no incentive for young men of respectability to honor them- selves and their country by serving in the army of the United States, The activity of the police in placing the unruly “rookies” behind the bars will result in their better behavior in future visits to New London. The New London Business Men's association is actively engaged in ad- vertising New London as an industrial and residentlal city, represented by a committee designated as the Brigade of Boosters. There Is really beneficial work being done® and just because the committee had the advertising booklet cf the Sea church edifice, a large gran- ite structure, and which was believed would be adequate for over half a cen- tury, was formally dedicated. But for sePeral years it was evident that the edifice, large though it is, was too small for the accommodation of the in- creased Cathelic population. About a year and a half ago the late Rt. Rev. Bishop Tierney decided to dwvide the parish and Rev. W, C, Fitz- timons was assigned to the new St. Joseph’s parish. At first mass was held in the New ILondon opera house and then in a temporary structure near ‘he site of the new granite church now Leing erscted. Father Fitzsimons in short order after his appointal pur- chased the 'church site in Montauk avenue and awarded the contract for building, and also purchased a com- modious parsonage in Squires street and in the rear and adjoining the new church property. He has been untiring in his efforts to raise funds to carry on the expensive work and the parish- foners have heartily co-operated, The mayor and other city officials and all the Catholic societies of the city have been invited to the corner- stone laying ceremonial, which will be conducted by Rt. Rev. Monsignor Syn- nott, who is acting as bishop of the diocese. Rev. Francis May, a native New Londoner, and graduate of the graded and Bulkeley schools, will de- liver the sermon 6f the occasion.

Although Norwich will receive all credit for the celebration, New Lon- don will reap some of the benefits, as the hotel accommodations will not, be ample to accommodate the muititude, and the overflow will naturaily drift to New London.
