The meeting was a mass demon- stration, for Finland and was seen as opening- the v ay for a movement for funds that would go direct to the Finish Govei mrmit for any use i t might be deemed necessary. Especial significance was laid to this by the known needs of the Finns for mili- tary supplies, for the purchase of which money raised by the Hoover fund is barred. Added significance was seen in the meeting by the fact that this was Mr. Hoover's first ap- pearance in Madison Square Garden since 1932, when he addressed a meeting which packed the huge place to the rafters during his campaign for re-election to the Presidency. It was a different Mr. Hoover who addressed other cheering thousands there last night. In 1932, he spoke as a political leader asking votes, .and persons here who recalled that phase of his career never saw him as a politician. Rose to New Heights It was, therefore, that he rose to his true height here last night as Herbert Hoover, humanitarian. One of the dramatic features of the rally was the frequent reiteration by the speakers that in this struggle a mere handful of people — a nation. of only about 4,000,000 — was f ighting against a military power of 160,000,000 •-the mythological \bear of the Worth\ — to preserve their hard-won independence and integrity. \They have been barbarously at- ™<*ed,\ Mr. Hoover declared. \Hun- w of thousands of women and have been driven from their ^ th 6 middle of northern \And now comes the newa that !t! hundreds of thousanda of evac- women and children and old n J? 3t be rem °v«l from the eaat- \K* * FlnI « n d over to the weat- - U have 8een W 16 ««>* ut numbers of refugees over ? 1 mi ation cannot rise to the euffer- tat comes.

A \speech\ which he delivered for Sidney. Hillman, President of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, read succinctly: \Fifteen hundred dollars from the Amalgama- ted Clothing Workers\.\ An exchange of Christmas greetings between the people of Finland and th.e people of Finland and the people of the United States, was transmitted by Mr. Procope and Mayor LaGuar- dia. Mr. Procope gave thanks to the United States for the Finnish people, who were united in their determina- tion to fight the Russian aggressor to the bitter end, he said. Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D) of Montana struck a popular note in the audience when he declared that with his colleague, Senator Robert F. Wag- ner (D) of New York, he would do all In his power to speed American aid to Finland in Congress. Senator .Wagner made an eloquent plea to support \a sister republic de- dicated to the same ideals of liber- ty and democracy\ for which the United States of America was found- ed. Matthew Woll, Vice-President of the American Federation of Labor, recommended the recall of the Am- erican Ambassador from Russia. He characterized the Russian invasion of Finland as an example of \sheer men dacity\ and \cynical contempt of the good opinion of mankind,\ reaching \a new high in international affairs.\ Dorothy Thompson urged the ful^ lest co-operation by the American people in the work of the Finnish Re- lief Fund. Hendrik iWillem Van Loon, Vlce- Chairman of the New York Chapter, j under whose auspices the Garden\ rally was held, was Master of Cere-' monies. Gladys Swarthout and Lauritz Mel- chjor contributed American and Fin- nish songs to the program and an orchestra of 80 pieces led by Nathan- iel Shilkret rounded out the program. —Christian Science Monitor. COC ENROLLMENT New York State HM Quota of Boy* For Neoot Bilfc Albany, Deo. 17. —, (focal officials .throughout the urged! today by David- C<, A4Je, Pom- tnissioner, New York fttate'-P^P* 1 ^- ment of Social WeJf*r% r tp.hety> fill the state's January q^iota^ cChoy*, for the Ofevftian Conservation Con* \a* an aid to the boye themselves, to their families, and to the relief costs In this state.\ . The next quarterly enrollment for the,OCC wltt qpen. January 1 and close January. 20, New York State has been given a, quota of 6,400 boye for the new enrollment \The importance of the OCC as a financial resource which helps the re- lief situation materially,\ Commis- sioner Adie said, \may be ^realized from the 'fact that right now the jOOC boye contribute $$73,000 every (month to their families, each boy sending home $22 from his $30^per- month ctalary. About 38 /per cent\ of the COC boys come from families on relief; that means that the $22 going to each such family reduces the home relief costs to the locality and the state by just that much. The rest of the boystcome from families who are on'.the very margin of relief. In al- most all those Instances, the $22 sent home monthly by each boy is just! enough to make the difference .be-1 tween relief and non-relief for that' particular family. \Full enrollment of our ntate quota for the COC \will mean continued sav- ings of home relief costs and con- tinued easing of the burdens facing private social agencies in the state. We are therefore asking every pub- lic welfare commissioner and 1 all \workers in private social agencies in the state, to help All the Jan- uary OCC quota T)y pointing^ but to families and to eligible boys that ad- vantage*? of the Civilian Conservation j Corps.\ Boys from Lewis County will be en- rolled at the Court House, Lowville, according to George F. Hart, local welfare commissioner. While boys between the ages of 17 and 23 are eligible for enrollment in i the Civilian Conservation Corps, those who have attained their 18th birthday will be given preference, Commissioner Adie said. To be ac- j ceptable, a boy must be a citizen of the United States; not under convic- tion for crime, or on probation or on parole; unmarried; unemployed and in need of employment; and willing to make the $22^per-month allotment • to his family. Boye must agree to | eerve at least one full term t>f six I months, and must be physically fit and mentally able. First choice for enrollment is given to boys from fam- ilies* who are on relief. However, it is not necessary' that the family be on relief, and more than 60 per cent of the boys are from non-relief fam- ilies. Half of the boys enrolled from New York State are distributed among the 66 OCC camps in this state, Com- missioner Adie said. The rest '. are sent to camps in the (Far West, locat- ed in one of the following states: Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, California, Oregon, and the State of Washington. In addition to the salary of $30 per ononth, the boys receive medical care and clothing, food, shelter, and edu- cational opportunities to pursue either academic or manual training. \The OOC ihas been a great Influ- ence for many thousands of boye,\ Commissioner Adie said. \Without a doubt, it has !been one of the best character-building organizations ln the country since its Inception. Boys, families, and the community in gen- eral nave benefited spiritually as well aajKtaterially from the OCC We urge every one who can refer a boy to the CpC during the January enrollment to do so,\ . - West Jjeyden Grange S 'The new master of West Leyden Grange, William- Beha, presided at the,, session held Monday evening, with 80 members present : Lecturer Mrs, Lester Foy*s program Included Christmas carols, a reading •by Mrs. Howard Urts, and a Christ- mas party, during which gifts were distributed from the decorated tree, given for the Grange, kitchen.

Douglas novel, the picture presents Dorothy Lamour, John Howard and Akhn Tamiroff In top roles. \Disputed Passage/' like!\ previous Douglas stories,\ is ideally suited for screen adaption. Just as his \Magni- ficent Obsession\ and \Green light\ made perfect vehicles for the, cinema in that they offered three-dimensional characterizations in exciting settings* so. \Disputed Passage\ win bring tcf moviegoers a scrutinizing and 'moving study of doctor's problems.
