Most people imagine that
cheese can only be made by
large cheese factories such as
are usually found in dairy coun-
tries. This, however, does not
prove to be the case in every in
stance. Joseph Lemacher, of the
Keuterville section, who has
been making cheese for years
manufactures as fine an article
as any one would care to eat.

gained such a reputation locally
that for some time he has been
unable to supply the demand.

Slattery and Suffragan Bishop samuel G. Babcock discussed phases of the church activities while Bishop Lawrence reviewed briefly the events of the year.
 Wants Open Comment.
 Every act of our national admin Lawrence, "is subject to the analysis, criticism or commendation of the people through the public press. We need more of that in the church [. of course a public critic should be sure of his facts. I believe, however that the national council should know what people are thinking and that criticism or approval should come more fully out into the open"
 Referring to last years general con- vention of the Episcopal church he said:
 "The revision of the prayerbook has taken up too much time in the later conventions, as important as the sub- iect is. The world is moving fast, momentous problems are before us in the settlement of which the church ought to take a more active part than

BROOKS IN WAY OF :
 CHARTER CHANGES Torrington Senator Reported Still
 Blocking Amendments Bill HARD JOB FOR B. ". ALLING Chief Objection Is, to Allowing Fire Commission to Have Power to Jail Those Who Ignore Its Subpoenas-. End Is Not Yet in Sight.
HARD JOB FOR B. ". ALLING
Special to The iierald).

'Specihl ID lne litTilul. Hartford. April 1S.--Senator Brook. of Torrington again loomed up today as mountain blocking the legislative path of the New Britain charter amendments. Mystery surrounds the amendments this session, so 1t seemed today, and the senate calendar had not word relative to the charter amendments.
 You Tell Him, Ben.
 The powers of the fire board and the 30 day jail clause are what Sen ator Brooks objects to most stren- uously. It was rumored that Repre- sentative B. w. filling of New Britain will have to do much smooth talking to convince the senator that he is ments.
 The New Britain police board has that power now and it has been stated that statutes for police boards have existed since 1902. Other city police boards have like power and New Britain cannot see why the fire board cannot have 30 day clause loi idiuie to appear dI hearings when subpoenaed.
 Senator Richard Covert, father of the bill calling for amendments to the charter, is working diligently to have the Brooks opposition over- come and subsequent passage brought about.
 They 'AIust Be Right"
 Senator Brooks ftold a Herald" man this morning that the amend ments must be right before he will accept them in his own mind. How far he can carry this movement may be given test run" before the ses- sion of 1923 passes into history. The senator has also sta,ed that police boards should not have this power. Going further he said he was against any appointive board having sucl, power and believed if they wanted ;nbpoenas they should go through the usual legal channels.
 T may offer an amendment to kill hat clause" Senator Brooks said in up his discussion of the pro- posed amendments.
