FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN.

An appeal to the people of the city of New Britain. together with the rest of the state. is being made for funds for the maintenance Of the Home for Crippled Children. in NeWington bN the Connecticut Children's Aid society," There is not more worthy charitable work than is the one which is being carried on so near to this city and the attention of those who wish to give to such enterprises is called to the campaign by this paper with every conviction that the moral sat isfaction of helping the infant crip- ples will afford greater comfort than any other aid work.
 The society has not the facilities Tor taking care of the younS SsterS who would be entrusted to it. in the large number that are offered every year. There are, at present, over one hun dred deformed children, many of the crippled from birth. in the hands more were the buildings and conven- fences availa ble, but the society has not the necessary money to acquire these facilities. A large percentage of the children will be saved from a hopeless life of beIt idden incom- potency by rh, usa gc of modern surgi- cal appliances while they are young. If they are allowed to go, until their bones set with age nothing in the world will keep them from living through their span Of years in Il wheeI-chair or On crutchcs. Methods of saving cripples nave improved marveiousIH in the past few years. there is hope for the inmates of the home The shame of It is that there is none for the cripHles Who cannot be admitted. There is joy in the fact that a generous response from the public will aid in taking care of more children. Will New Britain help: We believe that it will.
 Picture to yourself a child of two or three years. horribly twisted in it's body, mangled by fate until it's re- sembiance to q human is nearly Oblit- erated. Remember ,hat a few dollars will mold that child into the conVen- tional appearance of humanity. and will make II more than even chance that the afflicted one will he trans- formed into d healthy member of SO ,iply. You are gambling in futures. reader, but what wonderful gam ble it Is What joy generous r@spons" may bring to others long alter Nou have passed away.

Asked
Everybody

 Each year, since Feb. 8. 1910. when the Boy Scouts of America was in- corporatcd at the nations capital under the laws of the District of Co lumba, has seen phenomenal growth and expansion of tho moVem Cnt. There are today more than 375. 900 scouts and approximately one hum drcd thousand scout leaders in the United States. In it's first decade of service to the nation and it's boyhood the scout movement has trained one million two hundred thousand Amer ican boys in it's physically strong. mentally awake and morally straight program.
 In every state in the union. as well as Alaska. Hawaii and Porto Rico the scouting program of character building and outdoor recreation is be- ing carried out.
 \ significant feature of the dcNc1- opment of the scout program has been the universal endorsement it has received from churches of all de nominations: it's program has been officially adopted by church. groups representing total mem pcrshlp of 35.000,0O0.

How About Landing Field"

Yours .cditorially entitled ''Procras- tina tion,'' in d recent issue, was well worth the valuable space given it.
 There is indeed too much putting off'' in connection with many things that if done promptly would material ly aid our city.
 Several times attention has been called, through your columns, to the need of an aviation field.
 It is not believed that our city off cials lack foresight or d knowledge of the rapid prOgressions of aviation, but it is the everla asting procrasti ination which prevents the matter from being brought up for serious consideration.
 Air routes with suitable landing fields are now being mapped out, and New Britain should be on these maps
 Ii is most commenda blc that one Of our citizens is planning on starting an aviation school which will put our city among the Flying cities.
 It is not improbable also that if there were recognized field convent cntlY located that d few nf our younger citizens would. in the course of a few years, have their own pri- Nate machines.
 Let us not wait too long. Let us soon seriously discuss tho pressing need of: municipal aviation field. MAX $. PORTER
