Norwich bulletin., 1915-07-16

3 part of the number that has been
or viii be sent from the ports In the
north and the south The result is
going to be a heavy drain upon this
coantry's resources In this line and the
time has not arrived when the United
States can get along without horses
despite the great progress that has
been made4in the manufacture of the
Automobile and its steadily dropping
price.
The motor car has not replaced the
horse to such an extent that this coun-
try has an over-supply OF good horse
flesh and the time has not arrived
when the country can dispense with
the services Of the horse. It is thus
time that proper thought should be
given to the needs Of this country in
this respect before it is too late. It
would be- a most unwise thing to do
to send to Europe every horse that
can be shipped regardless OF the eco
nomic seffect 1t is going to have at
home Unless adequate breeding stock
Is retained it is going to cripple the
horse market for years to come and
with that idea in mind the move for
the protection of the American horse
is most timely and well directed.
Norwich bulletin., 1915-07-16
TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

That section OF Meriden known as
South Me1den has appreciated the
wisdom or getting the best protection.
1t has not in the past overlooked the
necessity Of a fire company, but 1t
came TO the conclusion some time ago
that fits needs warranted motor fire
apparatus. Firm in its convictions it
proceeded to raise funds for the pur-
chase Of a combination truck and
chemical auto and 1t is but natural
that it should be elated over the sue
cess which has crowned its efforts and
the anticipation of the added security
which such an equipment will give to
that part Of the city when installed.
The action Of that section Of Mer-
iden is in accord with the tendency
throughout the country. Motor ap-
paratus has been thoroughly tested out
both from the standpoint OF efficiency
and economy and there is ample proof
that the motor driven fire wagons are
the best and cheapest investments
which can be made in obtaining salts
factory protection in case of fire.
Not only is the motorization of fire
departments of cities taking place rap
idly, but there is no lack Of recogni-
ton of the service which the auto
equipment can render to the villages
and outlying districts. 1t assures quick
response, a low cost OF maintenance
and help which can be obtained in no
other way. Norwich has recently de-
cided on a valuable addition to its mo-
tor fire apparatus and the time is COM
ing in the not distant future when ii
will materially cut its expense by re-
placing all its horse-drawn apparatus
with autos.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Third CemPany's Target Practice Pre-
vented by Weather Conditions.


Mr.. Editor: 1t is recommended that
the following statement be given such
publicity as the circumstances, in your
opinion may warrant.
With reference to the recent annual
training period and service target
practice of the Connecticut Coast ar
tillery corps, of which the Third COM
a unit, it is probably now known to
the public generally that this organ
ization did not engage in service fir
ing at Fort H. G. Wright, New York,
June 1919, 1915.
Fearing that the uniformed might
arrive at the conclusion that the Third
company did not fire on account of
lack of leadership, character of per-
sonnet or training, / feel it my duty
point of. character of personnel, train
ing. leadership, and general efficiency,
fully qualified for service target prac-
tice, but was prevented from firing
on account of the adverse weather
conditions which rendered service
practice dangerous.
This statement Is made for the pur-
pose Of informing the Norwich public
which has, in the past, and is now
exhibiting a commendaible interest in
the Connecticut Coast artillery corps,
that its company has in no wise de-
Perforated in, or failed to attain a
satisfactory degree of efficiency and
was prevented from demonstrating its
value as g. state and national defense
asset by circumstances over which
1t had absolutely no control

Under ordinary conditions the selec-
tion of the most distinguished resi-
dent of Connecticut as a representative
Of the state at a gathering Of such
Individuals from the forty eight states
of the union might be no easy task
There are many men for different rea-
sons who might be honored with such
n distinction and no one be entitled
30 it more than another, but when it
BONES to making a choice for this
commonwealth Governor Holcomb will
hot be obliged to deliberate long be-
fore arriving at his decision.
The fact that former president VIII
liam Howard Taft Is resident of
Connecticut now, even though he has
not always been, settles the mat
ter once and for all. When it comes
to the rendition of high service the
ex-president is one of those who is
not limited by the confines Of a state.
His work for a great many years has
been such as to win distinction and
favor throughout the nation. He was
defeated for reelection, but he is one
Of the country's big men and no choice
from Connecticut could win such wide
spread approval as the sending to such
gathering as the former head OF the
government as the representative of
HE Nutmeg state. Even though he is an
ADOPTED son, all Connecticut, regard
Jess of political views, must 1ooz-upon
him as the first choice for such q COM
mission, and there are reasons to be-
Heve that the governor will not over
look the man who has rendered and
Is still rendering such service to his
country. He might well be the coun-
try's representative to q similar in
iernationa1 gathering.
