PLAZA TO BE CITY'S BEST
 AD0RNlAENT'
Walter B. Lashar Demands More Power for City
 Planning Commission.
MAYOR FOR CRITICISM
 IF NOT DESTRUCTIVE
Unemployment, Church Fed eration, Housing, Taxa tion, Sidewalks and
 Other Things.

The United Church Forum. last night, was an assemblage that might have been accepted for a catalogue of Who's Who in Bridgeport. The discussion was about how to make the city better. It was successful. It was successful in the respect at least of making everybody who came feel as if he had his moneys worth. Some got more; because offerings are voluntary, and impressions of value cannot be measured by an identical rule.
 The meeting was in. the hands of a group of five minute speakers, who had the advantage of platform. Each could speak five minutes, and any body not on the platform, three; with thirty seconds notice of jumping of point.
 Like a string of pearls unstrhng were the talks, each the view, so .te speak, of a specialist. There was no synthesis of their ideas, whicf for the most part were overlapping rather than conflicting. MT. Bridge port was treated for his eyes, hi' ears, his teeth, stomach and feet, bu nobody treated his whole body.
 They have four main kinds ot applause at the Forum, easily dis tinguishable to practical ears; tho perfunctory applause of greeting ant ending; conventional applause, a when one claps for the flag, Lincoln or Washington: applause of popular ity, which marks the affection Of tn assemblage for a particular per son; and applause of enthusiasm which marks the appreciation of the stronger sort of statements, expres sions or beliofs.
 Mayor Wilson was strong fol criticism. but 1t must be construc tive. He advocated unity, all fo. the city. His ideas so conclusive lief no room for the activities Of William P. Kirk and others present, who haC been thought to favor certain de structive methods calculated to pu new faces in city hall.
 Walter B. Lashar explained thu wisdom of city planning, the neces. sity of doing things by a program and advocated for the city plan com- mission of which he is member ] more power. The Plaza, as yet 1T embryo, he regards as one of tht | jewels of the city, a something whicf will rank in with the best that Hart ford and Springfield have. Lashal got the applause of approval ant popularity as might be expected 1T ! the case of the man who led the Rcs 1 Cross, and broke all records for wal | giving, by his personal donations.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-01-06

Watch out for it, said Dr. Brown, in phrases clean cut as cameos.
 The discussion was brisk. C. E. Bilton, president of the Manufactur- CTS Association, proposed a trade school for every factory. A gentle man with the burr of Scotland in his speech, proposed municipal housing, the same being an established method of home building in Great Britain. Nathaniel W. Bishop directed atten- ton to the city's generous giving for all war purposes.
 | Dr. Alfred c. Fones, brought hie courage with him, and wrestled with | the remarks of Lavit Discontentment l is a, sign of progress. But the heart Of | Tones was in his clinic for the care of the teeth of children in thn | schools, reform destined perhaps 1 to have more far reaching beneficial | influence than many projects Of moro ambitious seeming. Fervently he l thanked the administra ton. speaking of it's generosity, and predicting for
 the future of it good things. Never
 theless, to Zones and the taxpayers does the credit belong.
 Twice the mayor was thanked 1 where the bounties of City Hall had
 been poured out. And there was si- | lence elsewhere, so that The Forum
 was sort of triumph for his honor, the captives being almost. though not quite, chained to the official chair. A voice speaking for Taxpayer,
 League, WIS lifted to complain o: taxes, proving for the ten thousandth
 time the relationship beween adula- tion and butter or the nose; thrust ing also into the foreground the recoI-
 lection that in municipal life good
 things and desirable prevail only y
 a series of compromises with old mar taxaIion.
 It was a successful evening; witt
 the music very good and everybody
 satisfied.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-01-06

The Forum singing was conducted with unusual vigor, the very large assemblaSe making that possible. Dr. William Horace Day rebuked stacker singing with might and main The sneakers did not sing. Those who contemplated a three minute speech did not sing, and could easily be picked out. It is thus at the Forum The man about to speak seldom sings, but sits in pensive and slightly pained meditation, in attitudes which the most hardened offenders alone escape.
 Samuel J. Slawsors superintendent of schools, quite recently recovered from an attack of the democratic and unrespecting influenza, felt that more schools are needed for a better Bridgeport, and especially another High school. He was grateful to Mayor Wilson because the teachers had been raised another hundred dol iars.
 Bradford D. Pierce, Jr., president of Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce, referred to the greater harbor and better waterways. which the institu- ! tion is advocating.
 John Y. Cauldwell, who has been state senator, spoke for labor from trade societies. Not much diff ferent is the view of the worker toward his city than the view of the banker. Paved streets are admira- ble, and Bridgeport has good ones but some use the sidewalks, and why | not have them good also.
 Presently arose Sam Lavit, very much a member of Trade societies, l business agent of the powerful Ma chinists' and Toolmakers' Union, tell | ing the tale of the unemployed in ] Bridgeport, whom he numbered at 1000. Fix up your harbor, givt them work. Some are selling theil | Liberty Bonds for two-third price some are hungry, some are cold Avoid Bolshevism. Keep the worl i going.
 | The great international question would intrude itself No Forum these days can avoid the problem con- prised in this that nations under fire threatened with death keep them selves busy indeed and the same na- tions no longer threatened. do not re- tain those precepts of organization which make unemployment an impos. sibility, among a people who have abundant land and raw materials be. yond the dreams of avarice
 Such is the sympathy of American audiences and such the breadth of tn Forum. that Sam, with his reputation as a radical hung about his neck like the albatross of the Ancient Mariner received the applause of enthusiasm and sympathy.
 Spoke Rev. John D. Brown, D. D. in English fit for emulation, witt frequent recourse to classical quota tions. of the work of the churches There are S9 churches of all denomi- nations, and the Catholics with 2 parishes are leaders. There are 3; nationalities in Bridgeport, IS of whom may worship In the native tongue leaving six without church or mis. sion. There will be, yes, very soon

In the care of kitchen woodwork there is one warning never to be for gotten: To clean off spots as soon as they appear If dirt and grease are allowed to stand on the woodwork 1t means that severe measures must be taken to remove the dirt, and usually where extreme methods are used the finish is removed with the dirt.
