UNCLE SAM, F YOU
 WANT HELP, TELL US
Hyphens Blown to Atoms at Fire
 works Display Last Night

Thousands of New Britain men, wo- men and children enjoyed the best exhibition of fireworks the Hardware city has ever had, last evening at Walnut Hill park The display was under the direction of the Chamber of Commerce and had been postponed from Monday evening.
 From to o'clock an, excellent band concert was rendered by the l American band. Patriotism ran high and when airs that stir the blood of l all true Americans were played the lvast crowd went wild. There was 1 not hyphenated American on tho grounds. judging by the manner iri which all applauded. The enthus- iasm afforded a pleasant study for l psychologists and through it all could I be detected reflection of the strained diplomatic relations of the good old l U. S. A. and foreign belligerents The 1! Star Spang1ed Banner and Amer ica,' especially, were greeted with unrestrained approval. All airs of a l military nature were loudly applaud 1 ed, showing that from New Britain standpoint President Wilson and Old Glory will never be in need of supp l port.
 l Ihee HreWOrkS themselves were ur- paralleled in the history of New Brit ain. From g Until almost 10 o'clock the air rocked with the explosion of
 bombs while the evening sky was
 nghted again and again with clus-
 ters of colored lights. Set pieces
 galore were shown, some amusing.
 some spectacular, all of the best. The
 display came to an end in a grand re-
 verberating volley of aerial bombs
 that illuminated the city for nearly .
 quarter of mile around.
 People living half a mile from the
 park who watched the display from their verandas were aware that an event of unusual merit was taking
 place. Like the roar of the sea, the
 cheering of the crowd, the footing of
 hundreds of autom obile horns and the
 stirring music broke on their ears and it was evident to those who were not
 on the spot that New Britain,s best,
 busiest, noisiest and most enthusiastic
 crowd had congregated on the slopes
 of Walnut Hill
 Nothing but words of praise is
 spoken today for the, Chamber of
 Commerce which made the big time
 possible. Money with which to pay
 expenses was collected by the Cham
 Der and today it stands firmly en-
 trenched in the hearts of every New
 Britain citizen, near-citizen and future
 citizen.
