NEW RRITAIN'S HEALTH

No. we are not going to drink to 1t
New Britain's good health, Toasts
have gone out of fashion, for it's bad
luck to drink them with water sub
stitute. But one may be excused for
goating Just a little on the fact that
today the city is in the best condition
in the matter of the health of the peo-
pie in it, within the memory of any
one expert on such matters. Having
pointed with pride to this fact, and
having knocked wood lest these
conditions change, one may go on to
say decidedly There's reason
Strange things are happening these
days. Recently the board of public
works was compimented for the way
the snow was handled this winter
which we thought had passed but the
passing of which we are inclined to
doubt today. Now comes occasion to
compliment the superintendent of
health, the health board and the peo-
pie of the city as we'll The health
authorities have been busy and eff
cient; the physicians have been in
top form and the visiting nurses have
certainly been on the job. The people
must have been doing the things nee
essary to preserve their own health
and the health of others, to bring
about the satisfactory conditions And,
let it be said in passing, that a state
ment, with proof. that New Britain is
indeed healthful city, tends to adj
vertise this city for the sort of place
1t is--a good town in which to live.
We are not going to be selfish about
five want everyone to know these
things about New Britain. Come on in
the waters fine.

COMMUNITY PLAYERS

There is some discussion of the pos
sibility Of organizing in this city a
Community Players" association.
Such movement should meet with
the enthusiastic approval of those in
this city who appreciate the broad
field Of culture and entertainment of
fered by a serious study of dramatic
art and literature aud the presenta-
ton of plays of the sort which would
not only entertain. but which would
also bring q greater realization OF the
real place in life for the drama,
Members of an organization of this
character would not be inspired mere
ly by the desire TO give a show in
which delightful nonsense, which un-
doubtedly has its place in the world,
would be the feature. While the en-
deavor to entertain would by no
means be lost sight of, the primary
motive OF the Community Players
would be a serious desire to interpret
the works of the dramatists, modern
and those of other days, in such way
that the deeper meaning of life and
its sound philosophy would be en-
phasized. New Britain stands splen-
didly in the musical world, with it's
organizations which develop local
talent and which go to great trouble
to bring to this city some of the great
est musicians appearing in this coun-
try. Tho prospect of arousing interest
In the kindred art of the drama brings
enthusiasm which will undoubtedly
inspire many to offer their aid and
cooperation.

This Is a criterion by which the man

fact that man approaching

W. Il. DAMON

The death of w. L. Damon, which
occurred Saturday deprives a large
circle of friends of a companion who
was always in a happy mood and who
believed in looking on the bright side
of life. Until his sudden Illness, Mr..
Damon enjoyed remarkably good
health for man of his years. Strang-
ers were convinced with difficulty that
he had passed three score and ten be-
cause of his sprightly step and alert
mind.
Mr.. Damon was a pioneer business
man. He grew up with New Brit
ain and was the boyhood friend of
many men who have reached the
heights in manufacturing and mcr-
chandising. His business establish
ment, which was recently sold to a
manufacturing company, was a land
mark familiar to an older generation.
II is an unusual coincidence that the
books should be closed for both with
in such a short time,
Mr.. Damon was a friendly person.
AS a raconteur of humorous stories
he had few equals. For him, the
clouds were lined with silver the radi-
ance of which dispelled the gloom of
life.

THE FUTURE AMERICA

The first out and out dry" bill evel
to be debated in the English house
of commons has been defeated by q
vote of 236 to IA. The prohibition
experiment" in this country was
cited by opponents to the bill as the
horrible example," The main opposi-
ton to the BILL however, was to the
effect that it was an attack upon per-
sonal liberty.
Serious-minded, honest men and
women approach the discussion of this
subject with a deep sense of the i'm
portance of it, inspiring them to make
no snap judgment, but rather to look
beyond the surface indications some
of which seem to justify the belief
that prohibition is wise, some of
which seem to indicate that
1t will prove dangerous menace to
our future welfare. The matter has
so many sides that all may not be
covered in one presentation limited in
space. Only one angle may be consid :
cred at time, and so numerous are
the ramifications of that one aspect
that it furnishes a text for deep
thought before another is raised.
Any discussion of the question which
limits its effect upon the people now
living, even the children, is but a
petty, narrow consideration. one NAV
consider the empty aims houses, the
increased savings of working men.
and such matters which are emphasize
ed by prollibitionists. and say that it
is good One may give heed to those
who tell of the man coming home
with full pay envelope Saturday
nights, untouched by the hand that
used to reach across the bar and take
from that envelope. Consideration of
these points touches the heart and
raises scene Of happy homes beyond
which one may not see, possibly the
other side. For there is another side,
and over there are unhappy homes of
lawbreakers who were peaceable citi-
zens before the possibilities raised by
prohibition appeared, Instead of little
children growing up deprived of many
things because their parents spent
l.;,
dren growing UP to see disrespect of
all law on every side. In viewing the
as affecting those living and the hap
piness and welfare of those now liv-
ing, the question is by no means one
sided.
But the real test of the wisdom or
menace of prohibition is how will it
affect the generations to come; how
will it affect this country in the years
that will follow the span of mans
life? What sort of people will future
generations be and how will they be
fitted by character to carry on the
spirit of this country-the spirit
which has made IL great?
Is this country to grow weak
through "a weakening of the individ-
uals in IT, or is 1t to progress, main
tanning that world leadership which it
mas won through years of freedom of

THE GOVERNOR DENIES

Well, he has denied II all--Gover-
nor Templeton has said that his re-
marks concerning the ''antis" in the
capitol were not quoted correctly. But
for some reason, without too close an
analysis of the situation and with
out splitting hairs as to. just what
was reported TO have been said and
Just what the Governor says he said,
there is the feeling prevalent that
the Governor got something off his
chest" and is not very sorry that it Is
"off" or that he was misquoted-if he
was misquoted Out of the tumble
comes the pretty clear and firm con-
viction that the Governor is not an
ardent admirer of some of the legisla-
tors in Hartford and that he does not
care snap of his fingers if they know
he is not crazy about them. And, in
cidentally, Governor Templeton did
not take a stand unpopular with a
great many earnest people in saying
the things heidi or did not say Some
people, in fact, rather admired him
for putting things pretty plainly--if
he did put them that way. At least,
in his statement that his remarks
were distorted" he has not taken
pains TO throw any bouquets at the
men he criticized, or did not criticize.
Quite probably, in his explanatory
statement, he followed the dictates Of
his conscience which might have
whispered to him the time honored
expression, please omit flowers"
