Difficulty Of Heating Buildings Reason for Action by Officials
NO FACTORY SHUTDOWN
Fuel Supply at Some Plants Low But Prospects Are Brightcr-Suffering Reported Among Poor By Salvation Army.

The opening of all the schools in this city after the Christmas recess has been postponed from January T.,
 until Monday morning January 14. The reason given by Superintendent Stanley H. Holmes for the postpon- ment of the opening is that it would
 be almost impossible to heat the schools sufficiently to make them com fortable for the pupils and teachers
 Superintendent Holmes announced
 that there is sufficient coal on hand but that the weather is so cold that the fuel would be practically wasted in any attempt to keep the tempera- ture in the school rooms up to the normal mark. The coal will be con- served and used when it will be bene-
 ficial and effective.
 The task of notifying the out of town teachers now occupies Principal
 l.. F. Slade of the flight school and Superintendent Holmes Most of the instructors at the High school live in other cities and many live in other states.
 Factory Supply Adequate. Manufacturers today silenced ru-
 mors being circulated that there is danger of several factories being forced to close because of coal short age. The situation as far as New Britain is concerned is becoming more
 satisfactory every day, it is claimed. and there is said to be little fear that the city will actually want for fuel.
 With the announcement of w. G.. McAdoo, director general of the trans portation facilities of the nation, that the tracks are being cleared for ship
 ments of coal to New England points, the hopes and expectations of those interested in the coal situation became brighter. A number of factories in Connecticut have been forced to shut down and some cities are in greater want than New Britain.
 It is admitted that a few factories
 in this city are below their usual coal supply but it is claimed that the situation does not warrant a panicky feeling on the part of the public. AL though their supply is smaller than that customarily on hand, it would be
 considered a mountain by other fac tories in the state.
 Suffering Among Poor. According to information coming from Salvation Army officials, that
 organization has. more appeals from poor people for assistance than ever before in it's history in this city. Coal, other fuel, warm clothing and food are among the most important articles asked for.
 Superintendent A. J. Hart of the
 municipal charity department said this afternoon that there had been no
 unusual demand for assistance at his department. A number of those who are dependent on the department for assistance have requested their coal orders ahead of time.

though he did wall, four more Cardinals
It was not until the ninth inning that
the one and only hit on the Cardinal
score sheet was made.
Even this hit served to enhance the
pitching strength of the much-maligned
hurler For, following the safety, the
next three men were helpless and easily
retired
- while his success doesn't disprove the
charge that he has failed to get over his

mastered himself that a pass here and
