PLAN PREPAREDNESS.
New Britain to Have Big Time During
 August, Says Mayor Quigley.

New Britain is to have a prepared ness parade all it's own and it will be the biggest day in the history of the city if Mayor G. A. Quigley can bring it about. The mayor proposes to in trOduce a resolution at the June meet ing of the common council sanctiOning the affair, which it is announced, will take place during August. A well bal anced committee will be appointed and the details will be carefully worked out
 Mayor Quigleey is of the opinion that the members of the Chamber of Commerce who registered a kick against New Britain's participation in the big parade in Hartford last Satur- day are guilty of small town tactics and says he has already received as- surance that when New Britain holds it's parade other cities will send dele gations and freely participate in the days dOings
 It is proposed to make the event significant of municipal preparedness as well as a demonstration of the de- sire for nationwide preparedness.
