REV. J. I. WINTERS
 42 YEARS A PRIEST
Pastor Of St. Mary's Church Ob-
 serves Anniversary Today

Rev. John T. Winters. pastor of st. Mary's church, is today observing the 42nd anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. The day passed for him without any unusual happenings outside of number of callers and telephone messages all conveying con gratulations and sentiments Of good wishes for the future.
 Father Winters was ordained to the priesthood at St. Mary's college, Bal timore, Md, on December IS. 1880. He was appointed pastor of St. Mary's church on April 8. 1902, succeeding Rev. William A. Harty, who died shortly after the disastrous fire which reduced the church to ruins.
 His Work Hero.
 Coming. as he did, at a time when the morale of the people of St. Mary's parish was at a low ebb as result of the double catastrophe which had fallen upon them with the burning of their handsome church and the death of the reyered pastor, Father Winters faced his task with a strong heart and by his zeal and energy, infused his parishioners with faith and enthusi- asm. From the ruins of the old St. Mary's church rose new edifce which stands today as one of the most beautiful houses of worship not only in the city of New Britain, but in the entire diocese. The manner in which Father Winters overcame many ob- stacles placed in his path and exc cuted the gigantic task placed upon

A TRIAL OF COMMUNISM.

Reading of the plan of group oi sixty Canadian families to give 'ideaI communism" trial brings first of all the feeling how dull life would be under such circumstances. The sixty families are to open township, farm the land, run business enterprises church and school, all working to- gether. Farm implements are to be owned in common. as everything else will be except household goods and clothing.
 Every so often there will be a divi- sion of the profits, if there are any profits, for the produce is to be sold in bulk. It is presumed, of course, that any loss would be shared by all alike. What chance here for increas- ing comfort from increased effort by individuals, to say nothing of the chance to save enough money because of hard work, to take care of one in advanced years? The hard worker, it would seem, would be no better off than the man who did as little as he was able and still "get by" It may be argued that all the people would be inspired to work as hard as they could, and that the team work" of all would accomplish more than the sum of the individual efforts of the many. But human beings are not so constituted. All would not work equally hard. Moreover some people are physically and mentally better fitted to produce than are oth- CTS, though the wish to do their share may be equally as strong in the hearts of those others.
 This community would be an ideal place, probably, for those who are willing to merely exist until the end comes. Others, having in them that ambition which makes for accom- plishment, would be very much in- cined to leave the community for a place where their ability and energy would count for something which they and theirs could enjoy without sharing with the shiftless and indif- ferent

CHRISTMAS SEALS.

Reports from the office of the State Tuberculosis commission are to the effect that 3,666 patients have been served in the 21 tuberculosis clinics in the state within the past year. The weekly New Britain clinic has taken care of $50 of these patients. This work is paid for by the annual Christ mas seal campaign. The secretary of the state commission has just an- nounced that this work would be greatly hampered, If not partially stopped, if the present Christmas seal campaign should fail even partially. Last year something over sS0,000 was raised. The goal of s1o0,oOo is set as necessary to carry on the work for 1923.
 The time has passed when such work is looked upon as merely some- thing that should be encouraged If

CHANGING SENTIMENT.

Gradually there may be seen re- fected in the press of the country evidences of the changing sentiment as to our proper stand in regard to Europe. For long time the senti- ment here was against our participa- tion in the world war. It was not until that feeling had changed and the real necessity, wisdom and justice of our entering the war was seen, that we joined in the conflict. We have greater pride in our country today because we did enter the war and because we played the part we did play.
 For long time foreign entangle- ments" have been held up as ter rible monster which should keep us forever from having anything to do with Europe. Gradually there has come over the country a feeling that said monster is capable of being tanned. We are quite big enough to pass him, as he stands on Europe's shore, paying no attention to him, do our business in Europe and return home without even mussing our hair
 But we are not going to shoot that monster, foreign entanglements." It is good that he remain on Europe's shores to remind us that he threatens. We are merely going to look him in the face, see just what he is and how he is built, and know what we may do and what we may not do without being obliged to battle with him and kill him--which we could do if it were wise-which it isS not
 The United States is not going to loan vast sums to Germany. It is not going to. cancel all foreign debts without value received, tangibly or psychological. We are going to go slow, take our part in this European conflict with the peaceful weapons we possess, accomplish results after careful study of the situation and we are going to bring the good results we brought in that other great con- flict. This, incidentally, Is just the stand The Herald has long predicted we would take.

25 Fears Ago Today. (Taken from Herald of that date)

The Rev. S. G. Ohman is visiting | in New York. c. w. Lines has leased the prem lises in the rear of S6 Chestnut street | for one year with the privilege of five years.
 Manager Parsons of the local polo | team received a queer epistle from
 some one in the Capital city. A cut of Mir. Parsons was pasted on the postal card instead of the usual writ ten address. On the other side was
 Meriden, Come z, come H." The card
 was unsigned but it came from a
 Hartford rooter. Hartford is here to-
 night and they will surely get well come and defeat also. Poor HaPt- ford.
 The common council was in an un- ruly mood last night. It defeated the democratic nominee for fire commits sioner and refused to allow the Salva- ton Army to conduct religious serv- ices on Main street. Following this, stated that the local band would march through the streets as usual this evening and would march to jail
 If the police tried to stop 1t.
 A couple came to town today from one of the adjoining towns, obtained 8 marriage license and were married. The couple seemed to have pledged everyone to secrecy as their names could not be learned. After the ceremony they walked through Gen. tral Park holding each others hands, and appeared to be about as soft" as anything seen here yet.

Tenements for tn, laboring man are becoming more ant more remote from our business cen ters. It is the poor man with larg, family dependent upon his daily toi who must suffer greatest deprivation from this over-tax Of high rate sery' Ice, But it is contended that the most serious difficulty with which the Trolley is now confronted is the faci that owners of automobiles are in- ringing upon the monopolized road ways of the town by offering free rides to their less fortunate neighbors Is 1t possible that men of such mark ed business capacity as are supposed to control Connecticut company af- fairs do not see that their course of action is hastening tho doom of their own holdings? Pursuing this course how long will 1t be before most la boring men by rentals or small monthly payments, will be in posses sion of their own cars to go and come at pleasure? Here is opening a wide field for Ford and all his kin. What means the rusted and clanking old locomotives we see and hear to- day, once the pride of their drivers |? Ask the owners of Fords, limousines or Of other manufactures, speeding over our highways for answer.
 Then there Is the reasonable and sane "dare' with which our citizens have challenged the Connecticut com pany Give us the opportunity to prove that the lesser fare will not create the larger revenue" Let us try the experiment.. If after reason- able length of time our citizens do not fall to the low fare in way to req sonably compensate for the change we will consent to a untitled silence.
 Another and more serious thought demands odr attention. If the trolley cannot or will not render acceptable service and the jitney can and will, what moral right has the trolley to demand exclusive right of way? Are we sold out body and soul to a cor poration? We want the trolley but we do not want an eXacting monopoly. Either the trolley should give us req sonable and acceptable service or we, be privileged to serve ourselves in ways of our own choice within our own borders. However diluted, to one in whose veins flows the heritage of Bunker Hill and Valley Forge, un- reasonable taxation on tea or trolley service suggests ground for serious apprehension.
 It is not improbable that the most formidable obstacle to any change in the Connecticut company's decision is the fact that under every bush may be found stockholder insistent upon his dividends so making any change

 Enquirer" Gives Views on Connecti- cut Company's Attitude To the Editor of the New Britain Herald:
 Is it finality? In recent com munication appearing in the columns of The Herald and of apparent inspir- ation, it would seem the question of trolley fares is definitely settled.
 There is no purpose of the part of the present writer to unduly criticise local officials for conclusions an- nounced, that of refused reduction of trolley fares, but in fairness to in- quire if such refusal is justified in reason.
 The Mayor and other distinguished citizens have made commendabe and courteous appeal to the Connecticut company for a reduction of fares bas- ed on the belief that with such re- lief many who now feel compelled to walk would avail themselves of troll

COPPER SHINGLES
PLACED ON MARKET

In the fal rication of copper at the
mines or smelters the copper COM
panies of the United States may
solve one o. the live problems-that
of utilizin their products. For
the first time in copper history the
companies have begun the sale OF
copper shingles. which will have
longer wearing qualities than any
other shingle manufactured. One
of the important features of the new
shingle is Its lesser weight-S0
pounds to the square while the
weight of asbestos roofing is ap-
proximately 500 pounds: tile 1900 to
1000 pounds; slate $50 to 1000
pounds.
Copper shingles are more durable,
thinner. easier to lay and have many
other advantages over the other
metal shing es. It is the general
belief that these new shingles with
take the place of practically all other
shingles and make a big market for
copper 1t is also understood that
that the fabrication of copper and
zinc will occupy a large place in the
manufactures at the mines of the
west and thai within a few years the
producing companies will be turning
out large tonnages of brass, sheet
zinc and copper.

DEFEAT PEORIA
TWENTY To FIVE

The Ford Garage trouble shooters
rode rough ehod over the Peoria
sluggers at Eastlake park yesterday
afternoon. hanging up a 2o5 victory
in a loose exhibition of the national
pastime.
At the opening of the ninth inning
the score stood 20 to 2 in favor of

ping positions they allowed the visi-
tors to score three more runs.
Peoria played an cratic game,
ringing in nine errors while Ed Ru-

to their reputation as sluggers;. the
best they could do with Higgins de-
livery was five scattered hits. The
Ford team gathered Is safeties.
Yesterdays victory was the third
consecutive win for the Ford en-
ployes, and unless the Merchants or

MAY IMPROVE ROAD
UP To CAMP CREEK

Improvement OF the road from
Phoenix to the Camp Greek recrea-
ton area on the Cave creek district
of the Prescott national forest is be-
ing sought by the forest service here.
Assistant Supervisor Robert Munro is
now in Phoenix comforting with the
Maricopa supervisors on the ques-
ton.
The forest service has advanced
$1,000 toward Improvement of the
road and is seeking the CO. operation
of the southern county. since the road
pricipally benefits Phoenix summer
vacationists.
William c. Gillespie, who built the
Gillespie dam and who is heavily in
terested in the Red Rock mining
properties located in the belt of land
soon to be fought for by Yavapai and
Maricopa counties in the suit filed
by Maricopa to change the inter-
county boundary line, has agreed to
put up $4,000 to help reconstruct the
Camp Creek road. Manfred Cart
wright and Tom Cavness, ranchers
of the district, are also contributing
and several of those owning summer
homes on the reservation are doing
likewise.
The road will serve the Camp
Creek recreation area and the terri
tory beyond, At the area, access to
and from Phoenix will be afforded
the campers who go to Cave creek
every Sunday in summer. numbering
between 100 and 500 persons. From
the point of view of the forest service.
the advantage of the road is that it
will reach the Ashdale ranger station
and will 20 directly to the Cartwright
ranch and within 10 miles of the
Cavness ranch. 1t also goes within
four miles of the Red Rock mines,
which are being developed.
