 law so stipulates? It Is not for the city clerk to interpret the law and because he Is either close friend of MT. Curtis or because, perhaps he is afraid of him, undertake to settle the matter himself.

 From the smallest to the tallest ac- tor and actress. the cast was excel ence itself. Even the oldest inhabi- ant will concede that he cannot re- member a show produced by local amateurs in which there were half 1oZen A No. 1Asingers of both sexes. And there never before were two most amusing male comedians. Being l comedian in your own home town Taken all in all, the performance was he best in amateur history in New Britain.
 The current issue of Hardware Age" has all the appearance of a Who's Who' in the New Britain world The reporter or the Age" who covered the an- ual convention of the American Hardware Manufacturers association t New Orleans apparently believed hat his account of the proceedings would not be complete until the ages were illuminated by the smiles f New Britain men.
