 esta blished itself as a playground of the people is that at Hammonasset, loiated in tho town of Clinton This state park ana Is within easy approach of the central section of the commonwealth for those who drive their own automobiles. It can be reached from New Britain either by the Connecticut river route or via New Haven. The former road is not IT. tho best of condition and west of nayorook there is stretch that is badly in need of attention. Tho road by way ot New Haven is tho better of the two, offering motorists para disc throughout. the trip.
 Every fair Sunday. thousands of men, women and children congregate at, Hafnmonasset. Free parking space is provided for automobiles Most of those who go to the beach bring their own lunch which may be eaten on a spacious pavilion where tables and benches are provided free of cost. Soft drinks and other delights ol an outing may be purchased at a reason able figure,
 Accommodations ample to care for all but record crowds are found in the bath house. Suits, lockers and towels are rented at a nominal price l The beach is one of the best for bathing along the Connecticut shore, | although there arc other places of greater length. When the tide is in t is unnecessary to stray far from shore before water deep enough for bathing is encountered. The surf has been h1gh- on several Sundays and batherS who like to frolic in the waves have had their fill of this form of pleasure .s

A local man has sug. gested that the Observer make not< of this fact and give 1t publicity. It seems that an opportunity hal | ! foregoing Under present condition f: Is impossible for strange drivers coming from New York or other points in that direction to know wher and where to turn of the turnpike ir order to reach New Britain.
 The sign could be illuminated al night at small expense. Not only would such sign be welcomed by strangers but, it wouid be good ad- vertisement for New Britain. which is known, far and wit- as the Hard ware City ,1of. the sWorld:'. Referred to tho C. of c. and tho R. c.
 Housewives arc beginning to grum- bla against increasing costs ,of food. stuffs. many, of which arc slowly but steadily climbing back toward tht peak. Meats especially are on, the up
