COMMUNICATED
SKATING AT NORTH END.

Editor of the New Britain Herald:
 There seems 10 be d mi5unt1 crStand- = ing regarding tho skating pond in Stanley Quarter park and l take ihis opportunity 10 make 9 few cNplana- tions in your valued paper.
 The public is much interested in this fine sport, and it is the wish of tnc park commissioners 10 provide as good skating is poasibl and give everybody good time.
 The present dam which makes this pond possible was built in January. 1917. and is not intended as perna- ncnt A spillway acts as a safety de- vice so that when the water reaches T certain level it runs out. This is donc so that the dam itself will not be endangered, To increase the depth of water in the pond. which would he necessary if flooding is done to improve the skating the spilIwaN must be blocked and when this is done serious trouble is liable 10 oc- eur and the park miSsionerS can not, take his chance.
 When the dam is rem odellrd along with the development of the park provision will be made bH Ilsc of flash boards or other means to flood the ice when it gets rough.
 Last November the park was flood = cd and there has been consid era ble good skating this winter. However. aside from the impractiCability of flooding snow has spoiled the skating several times but as there ism any funds to remove it we can do nothing.
 In next years budget we are going to ask for sufficient funds to do this.
 As time goes alons jt becomes moro apparent our new parks are interest ing the public and their deNelopmc cnt is being more kccnlH sought.
 Respectfully,
 R. E. W.AlNRIGHT.

 This country must wake up to the situation in Europe. and the sooner VIC take action the easier will be the task which we have to perform. We must como to it sooner or later The later it is tho greater the cost.
 Everybody ought to read Erzbers CTS letter as quoted in Frank Fl. Simoud's article published in the New York Sunday Tribune of yesterday. The menace of the Reds in Rus :5ia is as nothing compared to the stealthy. everlasting schcming of the Germans The conf1a grafton which the "RedS'' have started will soon burn itself out. Then Germany will have everything prepared to step in With Germany in possession ot Rus sia and Siberia. the small republics lN- ing between Russia and Germany witt be between the upper and the neither miIlstonc. and how long will they en- dure" Next, poor. impoverished France will fall 3n easy victim. Ger many is cloating over all she did to weaken France, and "on 10 Paris. is going to be much easier than it was in 191l.
 England won, be able to help much for she will bc occupied with tho strife in India. which Germany has prepared for the purpose also with dissensjops at homo. likewise German made.
 Then. as Erzbcrcer says, after the continent is ours. then 'ONcrSeaS.
 The problem is ours. Let us not sbirk it until it is big and awful ss we did in the war. Gen. Denilline stands ready to lead. Shall we not join with the Other forces for right cousness and send him aid before 1t is too later

 "Wcalth begins with thrift and in- crcases as saving is practiced. The often used argument of the careless, that no one ever gets rich by saving, is only true when the savings are foolshlN spent.
 Nearly all the fortunes or compe. tencies of Americans originated in thrift and increased with the skilIful use Of accumulations.
 'Thrifi is the framework of prop crty. and to encourage thrift is to promote industrial and social progress by ncrcaSng the countrys wealth for use in the bettcrnent of the na- tion individually and collectively.
 During the War. hundreds of thousands Of our citizens became in Ncstors for the first time through payments from their earnings on Liberty bonds. While 1t is unfor~ tunately true that many converted these to cash aS quickly as possible and spent the proceeds. many more have been accustomed to the habit of saving.
 New Britain institutions offer every opportunity for the continuance of this abt:--our substantial banks with their savings dcpartm cnts and Thrift clubs for systematic weekly saving; the Building and Loan asso- citation with it's slightly larger re- turns for those who wish 10 buy homes. or those who will not need their accrued deposits on short notice.
 No New Years resolution could be better than that to syst cmatically set aside q part of ones income for the rainy day or the founda ton of q little capital. There is no better T for an emergency. The man who saves regularly. who has something Of his own is q better citizen thereby: more independent. more satisfied with himself and more satisfactory to his associates. One sure way to get that som cthinS is to save; don't be nig- cardly. buy what you need that is useful. be careful of it when you get it and waste nothing.
