UNEMPLOYMENT.

New Britain is better off than most cities of like size in the matter of un- employment. There is no great fright ened cry here although many men have been laid off and there is pros pect of some considerable unemploy- ment
 This Is perhaps the hardest time of the year to face loss of a job or posi- ton. The fact that we are not suffer- ing from this economic disease as much as are other cities is proof of the often repeated statement that New Britain's growth has been gradual and normal, and no changing times can have much effect upon it.
 Nevertheless what unemployment there is should be limited to a min- mum. as far as it is in the power of New Britain to so limit it.
 Always there is much talk of the manner in which his unfortunate sit-
 uation may be rectified. Very often
 talk Is all that results. People theorize
 but in their own cases do little to | alleviate the situation.
 Alderman Paonessa at the Council meeting Wednesday night made refer
 ence to it Whether 1t is apparent or not no loyal New Britain man wants to have many men unemployed. and is | glad to do what he can to prevent it. Mir. Paonessa referred especially to the changes contemplated in the park and to it's improvement. He asserted that there was plenty of work in New Briain that would go long way | toward giving the unemployed work at this time.
 This is just another of the cases
 where d good suggestion is made. com mented upon. talked over and agreed | to. Men go on about their own busi- ness, thinking of some work-perhaps work that would giv, employment to
 many-that they are planning to have i done at some convenient" time. But {. stiI1 they put it off.
 Would 1t be asking too much if such ! suggestion as that made by the Alder
 man should be taken up seriously and earnestly?
 Would it be too much to ask that l the convenience. of the unemployed i be considered at this time as we'll as i the convenience of the employer? The winter season is a bad time for

A fellow bought a Christmas wreath-"Too carly" said his friend: ten weary days must pass before we see the bitter end O Christmas shoppin' an the hke-ten days while cash goes out: am then the presents that we get are like you read about-a hairbrush for q hair less man: suspenders stead O belts: and waxen image o' some buds which doesn't last, but melts.

The man who looks on buyin' gifts us labor ain't the kind that santa Claus will seek tor an eventu'lly will find. The man who loves to give is jest the man we likes to please. an Santa Claus is allus on the watch for such as these. 'Twere better far that misanthropes would let that great day pass: let Santa plant Christmas sign: Say. you. keep off the grass" For there are others full O joy an. holy memories: they love to give: they love the world: they love the Christmas trees. They love to be reminded that their lives are happy now because Man was born that day to whom each knee should bow.

NEW FUEL.

Scarcely anything could interest the people today more than the devel- opment of new ruel-a new heat producer.
 This has been done it is claimed fin the gas conservation and smoke re- duction campaign of the Pittsburgh station of the United States Bureau of Mines. The new fuel is composed of coke dust and particles of soft coal. It is said to aid in conservation of gas. reduce smoke. and to be a more efficient heat producer.
 Probably Pittsburgh can afford to buy coal. All the millionaires live thero. It cannot afford, however, to keep on being known as the city where more smoke may be seen than any where else on earth. For this reason Pittsburgh is most interested in the amokeless. or near smokeless aspect of the matter.
 But New Britain would like to know more about the cost and the quantity of heat produced. Necessity is the mother of invention" is no idle phrase. Were the price of coal to re- main as high as it has been lately some new fuel would come to take it's place. This is as sure as anything human can be. As in the case of the trolleys. which we need and must have, a constant rising price will bring something new.
 Meanwhile we will follow more exact tests of the now fuel, discovered in Pittsburgh, with the keenest of in- terest.

There may be some difficulty in plan ming for it just now, but perhaps the prospective employer of labor would their jobs-for the sake of pride in New Britain which would gain much commendation for being one of the few cities that make it a point to be considerate of the laboring man, the working man and the man or woman whose Iabors are usually of a clerical character.

 December 16, 1920. To the Editor Herald"
 City.
 Dear Sir:
 Through the columns of the press we learned this morning that a police man had been dragged from his bed arrested and charged with manslaugh- ter for doing his duty in South Nor walk when he shot a notorious burglar plying his nefarious trade. Such a procedure, if it be true, would seem to be a joke; and a reflection upon any intelligent community as we'll as the encouragement of menace that must eventually reach oht all over the state community charges a policeman with the maintenance of order and gives him a revolver for the purpose of enforcing it when he sees the me- cessity of using it. but it would appear that in the particular case recited above when the occasion arose, and practically in self defence he is not commended for doing his duty but has imposed upon him the ignominy of arrest, inconvenience. indignity. men, tai agony, and all for what simply be- cause he has done what he takes oath to do and what every decent, law-abid- ing citizen of the community expects him to do and what the tax payers pay him to do.
 It would seem to me that the action of the prosecuting attorney in this case is an encouragement of crime and a polite invita- ton to all burglars to make South Norwalk a rendezvous because certainly no policeman in his right mind would care to modest or in- terfere with this class of criminals when he knows that he will not be upheld by those who charge him with the maintenance of order or run the risk of personal and perhaps perma nent injury and to be perhaps arrested in addition.
 If Police Department means anything it should be backed up by the entire community from the hum blest citizen to those who sit in judg- ment and the quickest way to dis courage an efficient department and destroy its morale is by just such a procedure has been adopted in South NorwalI. if reports are to be credited Let us have no such farce comedy here but give the police every encouragement to carry out their sworn duty and make New Britain a place to be avoided by criminals and a place where law-abiding citizens can feel that they and their homes are safe from those who would break through and steal" Let us have more police men of the calibre of Clune and Dor nov and one less of the calibre that would discourage their efforts.
