Two Years Ago April 5
America Declared War

Washington, April 5-Secretary
Baker today issued the following
statement on the occasion of the sec
ond anniversary of the entrance of the
United States into the great war:
1.-TWO years ago tomorrow America
entered the world war and Joined
forces with the brave peoples who had
for nearly three years resisted the
armed tide of autocracy. America
modified to its remotest hamlet and
the affection and support of our peo-
pie surged around the great army
which we summoned, trained and dis
patched to Europe as the representa-
tive of American strength and ideals.
The night of doubt turned into the
day of vindication, and now on the
second anniversary of our entry into
the war, we find the armed resistance
of our adversaries broken, and great
council assembled in Paris to set out
the terms of peace and to make pos
sible the reconstruction of the for
tunes of the world which have been
shattered by the devastation of war.
Just men and humane men every
where are looking with fervent hope
to these deliberations, and America,
conscious of new-found strength, sees
both higher destiny for herself and
q broader application of the princi-
pies upon which her own growth has
proceeded among other peoples of the
world.
"The cost of the war in life and
wealth has been great. Some of its
losses are beyond repair. but the flu
ture will be better for men and wo-
men everywhere if the high spirit
which achieved this victory uses it's
fruits for the protection of peace and
the encouragement of justice among
men as the basis of all international
relations. Two years ago our great
task was to win the war-today our
local task is worthily to apply its les
Sons and use its results"

LOCAL MANS CAR
y HITS BRISTOL GIRL
Miss Frances Monroe Not Badly Hurt
BY Frank Shields
Auto.

While driving to his. home in this
cry last night, Frank Shields ma
chine bumped Miss Frances Monroe,
aged IT, of Bristol, inflicting several
minor injuries to the young girl. She
was taken to the Bristol hospital
where she is reported as only slightly.
injured. and will be discharged from
the institution in a few days. ..
The local man was advancing at a
nad4erate rate of speed toward New
Britain when a Bristol bound truck
came into sight. AS he was nearing
the truck, two girls ran out into the
road in the wake of his car, and Mr.
Shields swerved toward the gutter to
avoid striking her. He was success
ful in lodging the girl, but struck his
car against a telegraph pole, side
sW5ping the car and breaking the
Windshield. When the girl saw the
approaching truck, it is believed that
she made an effort to return to the
sidewalk, and in SO doing ran against
Mr.. Shields car and was knocked to
the ground. Pieces of broken glass,
flying into the car, caused minor in
juries to Mr.. and Mrs. Shields.

As HOUR WEEK AT
FAFNIR BEARING CO.
New Schedule of Working Time Will
Become Effective on Next
Monday.

Beginning on Monday of next week
the Fafnir bearing plant will operate
on a As hours-a week schedule. The
action of the officials of the plant in
declaring the new schedule was
brought about through the same
reasons which have caused q reduc-
ton in the working day of several
other factories of the city the uncer-
tainty of the market which has caused
less demand for the product of the
factory. superintendent Searles to-
day published notices announcing the
new time schedule.
The 48-hour schedule adopted by
Tafnir's is somewhat different than
that of other factories. The working
day. five days of the week, will begin
at 700 in the morning and end at
4:36 in the afternoon, and on Satur-
day the day will close at noon. The
purpose of the closing at 4:36, instead
of 4:30 is to round out the week to a
48 hour week, Between 425 and $50
are employed regularly at the factory.

HOLMES EXPLAINS
SCHOOL EXPENSES
Smith School Parents and Teachers
Association Hears Superintendent
Speak On Budget

a meeting of the Parents and
Teachers association was held last
evening at Smith school. Meetings
were held in various rooms and the
parents met the teachers and dis
cussed the work of the pupils
At o'clock an entertainment pro-
gram was presented. The program
opened with a selection by the school
orchestra. Mrs. Pfersick rendered a
vocal solo, accompanied by Mrs.
Stercer at the piano. A vocal solo by
Fred Hewitt, accompanied by Mrs.
Hewitt at the piano. was enjoyed
Dancing was enjoyed in the kinder
garten room.
Stanley w. Holmes, superintendent
of schools, delivered an interesting
address on school appropriations. He
emphasized the necessity of having
more room for the pupils as the pop
ulation Of the city grows, and said
that the pupils must be graded so
that teachers will not be overburden-
ed with work, and said that by this
plan a teacher is enabled to do much
more efficient work.
Mr.. Holmes is of the opinion that
the salaries Of the teachers should be
on q par with other cities of the size
of New Britain. He also advocates in
creasing the salaries or the JanItorS
of the schools as he does not believe
that they are paid in proportion to
the extent of their services. He said
that repairs are needed at many of
the schools and that a fire escape is
needed at the High school. Mr..
Holmes assured his audience that the
estimate of the school budget has
been cut down as much as possible
and that a need exists for every dol
lar that is asked for.
Many people were heard to say
after the address that they received a
clearer view of the school situation
after hearing the talk given by Mr.
Holmes.

THRIFT STAMPS ARE
being CASHED DAILY
Between $500 and $1,000 Worth
Redeemed Every Day

pa+v,,eer 500 and $500 worth Oh
49,, so,,i,gs and thrift stamps are
- ooshad at the New Brltaln
r,ast oftico daily. 1t can also pc
49, on good authority that many or
41..so cashiner them are of the better
o1aes financially and there seems 10
Va No necessity for cashing the
stamps
were the amount $1,000 worth a
walk it would not be so bad but the
fact that between 500 and $1,000
worth are cashed every day is what
pSslxes it of such Importance. There
are many legitimate cases as there
are for all matters. There are many
foreigners who gave all their money
during the war for bonds and stamps
and now when sickness strikes them
they are forced to cash their stamps
But the class of people who have
enough money for satisfactory living
are cashing the stamps to a greater
degree than are the foreigners Many
ItsNans have also brought their
stamps to the local office to nave
them cashed and have given their
reason that they will return to lt5'Iy
as soon as they can secure passage Oh
a ship.
Give Credit For Stamps.
The matter is further added TO
when it is stated that several stores
in sthe city are accepting the stamps
in ayrnent for goods purchased Many
Youths having small thrift stamps are
known to have given these stamps IN
payments for goods received in the
city The larger stamps are also pelng
accepted and there is where the mer-
chants find themselves up a tree.
According to the orders issued from
Washington when the sale of stamps
first started, the stamps are posi-
tiENy not transferra BILE. These or
ders have been repeated time after
time and the local office has received
many communications to the effect
that transferred stamps are to be &C
cepted under no conditions. Thus
when the New Britain merchants,
after accepting the stamps in trade,
go to the post office to have them
cc3Sbed they find that it is impossible.
Thus they are at a financial loss and
. it is unknown whether they have
tried to have the owners of the
stamps reclaim them or not There
should be absolutely no investments
in these stamps and no persons are
auth orized to buy these stamps from
the people.
Holders of thrift and war savings
stamps should retain them and aid
the government in the beginning of
the reconstruction period, for just as
much as the country needed money
to finance the war, so does it need
money to readiust war conditions
and put them back on a peace basis.
