or if will keep that promise.

for 1t, will keep that promise. The two-platoon system has been promised the hremen.
 Money for carrying out this plan has been appropriated and legalized Nothing now stands in the way of fulfilling that promise other than poli- tical manouvering to be sure there will be plenty of cash in the city's treasury when the account is balanced.
 If any of the money intended for the firemen is used for other purposes. no matter through what legal techni- calities it may become lawful. the action will involve a moral embezzle- ment of the peoples money.
 President Wilson, from whose lips came many general truths, but whose actions have been so much criticised said that a moral obligation is just as binding or more binding than a legal obligation.
 The city can adopt this system. We must take this for granted as the money was set apart for it. If there is no money. where is it? It was the peoples money, and if it is gone where has it gone? If. for political reasons, or for good purpose the money was used. the people should know and the people should take action according to their best judgment.
 Tn the promise made by the city to the fremen there was no proviso. You shall ha vethe system,' was the promise.
 How the city of New Britain would fall in the estimation of men good and true and straightforward. were it's officials to prevent the carrying out of that promise!

THE BLIND.

Some months ago it was noted in these columns that the work of in- structing the blind in their homes in reading. in basket and broom making. and other things which may cheer the blind in the doing. would be begun about this time. The request Was made that any blind person in New Britain desiring to have such instruc- ton in the homes, by teachers of the state. or who wanted to talk such things over with the teachers of the blind when the time came. send their ments would be made for such teach CTS to call. The names would. of course. be kept confidential.
 Today Raymond Reasor has been in towns he may remain over tomorrow At any rate he may be reached Gt once by The Herald and further in- formation given him. He has called on those who have ever been connect. ed with the State Institute for the BliEd. But there are others. Natural ly. no expense will be attached to this work
 The matter is called to tho attention of all again today. Everyone should tako notice It is a matter which should interest not only the fifty or more blind persons in this city. but it should also interest all of us. MT. Reasor k is one of the teachers of the State In. stitution for the Blind. who will do this work.
 Any man, woman, or child knowing any blind persons should let them know. by reading this editorial aloud to them. that there is a way in which the blind may learn to make the time pass less slowly. a plan whereby a blind person can become practically self supporting in making the articles badly needed and of selling them.
 Certainly hero lies a way to tighten the darkness for those whose days are dreary. Certainly any blind person

COMMUNICATED
THE TWC-PLArOON SYSTEM

TO the Editor of The Herald | Everyone is trying to make the world a better place to live in either for himself or for society, but there are a few who while anxious to inn prove their own condition delight in holding down or expressing their em- ployes or those over whom they have Icontrol.
 The fremen in New Britain want to improve their lives by obtaining a few hours a day to move about the city as free men. More power to them. The two-platoon movement took root locally during the war, but because man power was so badly needed in | the factories, at the request of the commissioners the firemen withheld their request until the end of the conflict. Since then they have been active but have only collected a lot cf promises that have been broken. Why not live and let live? The four mill tax has been paid, paid for the expressed purpose of installing a two-platoon system. This paid tax will not be refunded to the taxpayer if the two-platoons are not installed so why not proceed? The price of admission has been paid so let's see the show
 Hartford has found its two-pla- toons, "a good number for at the last two double alarms in that city 9S Der cent of the personnel of the fire department reported for duty, a fig ure which is more remarkable when it is known that the two per cent failing to report had previously been excused.
 There is no doubt that the city meeting called for the purpose fa- vcred a two-platoon plan. At this time of depression it will afford em- ployment for a number of deserving young men. A freman's job will be attractive. It ought to be- All jobs should be attractive, then better serv- ice would be rendered. Continuous service is medieval and has no place in modern life.

would be glad to become part of the working world, gaining the feeling that he or she, though afflicted, may add to the weath of the world and may become less a burden upon others-if they ever feel that they are a burden.
 If anyone knowing of blind person or persons who would be interested in having MT. Reasor call will write to the Herald Editor for the Blind, the attention of MT. Reasor, of the state institution. will be called to the case. Interest is taken in this matter not only because of the blind persons themselves, but because brightening the lives of fifty persons in a city, brikhtens the life of the city, and in this way one thing may be done to- ward making our city brighter place in which to live.

"JEsT RUMINATIN'."
(Rpbcrt Russell)

 There's things that's all about us which we've seen a lot O times, But we can't understand why folks will pay their tits and dimes. To travel from some distance jest to look upon those sights Which we're familiar with by day and often sometimes nights. We don't see nought spectacu- lar about those well-known spots, An some O. them we may dis like as sort O landscape blots. Perhaps. if we don't live near by we never make tho trip
 To see the place whose name IS on most everybodys lip. A prophet, so the sayin' goes, can blow a louder horn In every place except the one in which that prophets born. He lives along an does his work, without much notice paid Till he departs an then comes back in gold an silk arrayed. Perhaps you don't boast very much that this is your own town. But let a feller know it, who has travelled up an down, And East an West, an North an South, New Britain he will know; The feller who don't boost this town is gettin' pretty slow.

more or less short selling was felt as
the result of favorable weather con-
