ICity Mission, an institution whose
 worth is too little appreciated by the public at large. Without ostenta- ton. the Mission directs it's efforts
 among children and girls and boys
 principally although it also ministers 10 the physical comfort and spiritual
 well being of adults,
 Fife history of the City Mission Is | one of which any organization might well be proud. It believes in prac-
 tical uplift work, action instead Of
 words It has a splendid record of achievement and deserves support
 Girls and boys find their energies directed toward the higher things of life. Their creative faculties are de- velopcd so that they will not be vast CTS of time or material.
 1 Above all and more important than all other factors, the Mission guides | the minds of those within its influ- encc along constructive channels and gives them an insight into our reason for existence that they might other- wise not learn. The Mission needs funds to carry on" and 1t should
  {, citizens who are interested in seeing New Britain become better city.
 It required courage to open an au- tomobile show this year. If you doubt this statement ask any man who Is in business. But with characteristic ini- tative, New Britain automobile deal- CTS decided that if business would not come to them, they would go out and get it. Reports from different parts of the country are to the effect that business is good when an honest-to- goodness effort is made to find it. and that boldness is being rewarded. New Britain automobile deal lers have proved that they have courage They have assembled for public inspection at the State Armory an impressive as- sortment of motor vehicles. Anyone who is anticipating buying a car this spring will do himself a favor by vis- iting the show and inspecting the cars which are on display. There are ma- chimes to fit every purse and to please every eye. Manufacturers are mak-, ing an appeal to the sense of beauty, as we'll as utility, this year. If you don't believe it, go to the show. It is we'll worth while.
 Leaders of the local branch of tho republican party are taking the cam paign seriously this spring It has frequently been the case that hand picked candidates barred the way to all others early in the campaign. This is not the situation in this year of grace, 1922.
 First in the field for the mayoralty nomination, Mr. Quigey has the ad- vantage which comes to a man who gets a flying start in any race. But he has not cornered the nomination by any means. He is known as a fighter and a man who likes politi- cal fight. He may have an oppor- tunty to prove his prowess because there are factions within the party to whom he is persona non grata and they intend to wrest victory from him if it can be done. Being without the pale of orthodox republicanism, Mr. Quigley must play a lone hand and he can win will be deter
 
 ,onal following at the primaries. If he can gain the nomination it is prac- tically conceded that he need have no serious fear of the ultimate result.
 Until within the past few hours there was general expectation that Mir. Curtis would seek renomination. This expectation was weakened to some extent by rumors which cropped ID that Councilman H. s. Hart will lsk the registered republican voters ,o name him to lead the fight at the polls. MT. Harts name has been on former occasions, but here was nothing very substantial on which to base forecast that he would oppose MT. Quigley. Very re- ,ently, however, came a statement rom one who is in his councils, that Nr. Hart was on the point of sending l letter to men and women who are eligible to vote at the primary asking hem to support him.
 Mir. Hart's candidacy would, no loubt, be met with favor by a large lumber of property owners because le has led the fight to economize on ity salaries. He could appear on the battlefield as champion of economy md thus attract considerable fol- owing. But whether he could over- ome the prejudice against factory executive which always exists in an industrial community is another mat er.. It is question which Mir. Hart must face with open eyes and which le alone must settle.
