 Let us finger in the twilight hour And talk of the joys the sun shone on and plan our rest when work is done
 While the weary heart rencws it's faith and power.

THE NEED OF \ COMFORT HOUSE.

As the days pass as prohibition absolutely rapidly approaches, as the cafes and public houses in the center of the city of New Britain, one by one,
 close their doors, the public of the city
 is rapidly wakenins to the need of
 some sort of an accommodation to
 people who are in the center on
 shopping trips or business errands. There is no doubt but that the in-
 stallation of house of comfort in
 the Park, in the trolley Triangle, or at some other convenient spot, would earn the appreciation of a large num- Der of people daily. The closing of the saloons removes one source of relief and makes the need more ap- parent, even though there was, here tofore, demand for the station.
 There is scarcely a city of our size or smaller, and certainly not a city larger, which docs not offer to it's peoples a convenience such as was. planned for this city q year or so ago. but which was knocked from the city budget for reasons, branded as eco nomical, which might better be de- scribed as tritiins. Had the individ- uals who asked that the station be eliminated been gifted with a modi- cum of foresight or a real wish to af- ford uccOmm odation to the public they would not have argued against tho comfort station. Costly as it may be, it is needed, and with the con- sidcration of additions to the new budget under way. city officials may scarcely remain needless of this dc lnand from the public.
 There was, if we remember right, a plan on foot to build d waiting sta ton at the park. in the trolley triangle to the immediate south of the green, to which exception was taken. Part of the vindictiNeness of the protesters was caused by the appearance, in the plan, that the city was building some thing from which the trolley company would benefit. This may be, there is no particular occasion for the city to erect waiting stations for the Com- pany. even though it can not afford if itself, but there is justice in the argument that the city should take care of it's own in supplying comforts If ii is felt that the trolley company is getting too much in the erection of a waiting station. why not build a house of comfort under the park neur the monument? It is only fHll that it should be done, it must be done Why not now!

CITY BAKERS HOLD
 REGULAR MEETING
Discuss Costs of Material EnlcrinS Into the Production Of
 Loaf of Bread,

A meeting of the Bakers associa- ton called by President J. M. Hallin- an, was held in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce recently and subjects of ma jor importance. to the ba kers of this city were discussed; such as costs of materials entering into tho production of the finished loaf of bread, purchasing of sugar in carload lots and general cooperation between the various members of the asSocia- ton.
 It was the consensus of opinion tha the people of New Britain fully ap- preciated the efforts of the associa- ton to build up the production of the various bakeries in the city and were showing their apprecia ton by pur- chasing New Britain made bread rather than that shipped in from out side cities.
 Another meeting will be held in the near future and a large attend ance is earnestly hoped for.
