GRAPEFRUIT-AND THINGS

The article published in this news
paper recently in which James
Shepard tells of the unstable quality
of grapefruit in this city in 1855, and
Of bis buying a dozen in Florida in
1886 for so cents and bringing them
home with him, is of peculiar interest,
not only because of the information
it gives about this delicious fruit, but
because of the things it suggests in
connection with changing times.
We are familiar, most of us, with
the strange costumes worn years ago.
The old photographs, taken about the
time those grapefruit were thrown
away in this city because no one
would buy them, look strange to us
now. The be-whiskered men. the wom-
en- with long, flowing dresses and pc
culiarly arranged hair, would seem out
of place now. This we realize because
what we see with our eyes impresses
us more forcibly than the things we
cannot see.
And the change that has come to
our habits of eating, speaking. think
ing and writing. to say nothing of the
treatment of disease, may be indicated
by the different attitude we take re-
garding the grapefruit These changes
have been gradual, and, therefore,
scarcely realized. But imagine a per-
son living in 1883, going 10 sleep at
night and waking in 1928. Nothing
would be the same.
In lesser degree the differences
brought by few years or even
months are sometimes missed. What
may be commonly accepted standard
today, may be something else tomor-

EMPLOYMENT

A young man looking for work in
this city and having been asked to re-
port the result, brings the information
that jobs are not easy to get. He says
that fewer men are being taken on
than are being let so. This was no
formal investigation; it merely repre-
sents the conclusions reached by one
person who, quite likely, has the same
Discrimination for certain kinds of
work that other young men possess,
If this is the situation and the
prospect was that it would continue,
some anxiety might be caused. For
this reason a dispatch from Washing
ton, giving official information on the
subject, is reassuring and worth en-
phasizing.
The dispatch gives the figures show
ing conditions concerning employment
in 81 manufacturing industries
throughout the country. An increase
III 10 olONll III July
compared to June, in 20 industries and
a decrease in %. The greatest de-
creases were in the automobile tire in
dustry, cotton goods and glass. This
fact shows that if there is the be-
ginning of a bad employment situation
it has not struck New Britain very
hard.
There were increases in wages for
the month ending July Is in 302 es-
adjustments in As out of the 81 in
dustries covered.
But the important point of the
whole dispatch is that the decrease,
wherever existed, could be accounted
for by the season of the year when
such decrease might be expected. This
is another case where more confidence
may begained by explaining away any
fear caused by single opinion, than
would come from an optimistic ex-,
preston of another individual. With
the repeated assurance of economists
that preparations are being made for
a big fall business. this city, at least,
may feel it is sitting pretty"

WATCH THE CLOCK!

This comment has nothing to dc
with standard or daylight saving
time. 1t is merely a simple statement
of belief that the worker for himself
or for others should actually watch
the clock" What a shock it may be
to, the persons in the habit Of quoting
old admonitions! People who watch
the clock have been criticised since
the dark ages. They will never get on,
it has been said. They have no interest
in their work. and all that.
The trouble with this old-fashioned
idea is that critics of those who
watched the clock attributed to them
often a wrong motive. They supposed,
of course that. those who watch the
clock did so in their eagerness to see
the hands point to the hour when
they would be able to leave the place
where they worked and do as they
pleased-within certain limitations. 1t
is an error to assume people always
have wrong motive in what they do
merely because some of the peo-
Pile who do the thing may have a
wrong motive. Proceed!
1t is stated with conviction that the
man who does not watch the clock,
actually in some cases, metaphorically
in others, will find himself far be-
hind in his work--a drag to progress.
Take the humble worker in an office.
If he allows the minutes and hours to
pass while he takes more time than is.
necessary over some task he will find
the end of the day arriving with many
things left undone. Watch the clock,
If you have had sense enough to plan
your work, and see that you are keep
ing up to schedule. The man who
works for himself! He must accom-
plish certain things within certain
period. He must keep up-to-date. Let
him take note as the hours and days
pass to see whether or not he is fall
ing behind in these matters. Is he
watching the clock" that tells how
his field of activity is progressing?
In this as in everything else we do,
the motive is the thing that counts. |
Only the pessimist believes that men
do not care to get on; that the aver
age man does not want 10 do his best
for himself and for his employer If
he has one. Most men know they are
doing their best for themselves, if they
are employed, by doing the best they
can by the man who pays them their
salary or wages. The suggestion to
watch the clock, in its proper sense, is
but another way of advising men to
do it Now SO that the next matter
to be attended to may be done when
the Now" time comes.

COMMUNICATED
SOME REMARKS by A STRANGER

Dear sirs
In line with the editorial in your
paper the other evening, as visitor,
l would like to comment on the con-
dition of Walnut Hill Park. 1t Is
ideally located with reference to the
center of the city I have spent many
a happy hour within its bounds and
from its crest have enjoyed the en-
trancing view of city, valley and hills
But-why has the Park Commission
allowed the concession holder to COM
mercialize it SO. The writer has
been from coast to coast and has never
observed concession so fiagrantly
handled or such public nuisance as
the one in Walnut Hill Park.
Go to the park any band night flor
e3ample) and see for yourself num-
bers of children with baskets of candy,
popcorn, ice cream, or pals of
bottled drinks. hawking their wares
everywhere. They are nuisance to
those who go for the enjoyment of the
music or the restful beauty of the
grounds. Such customs demoralize
the children employed and the public
who have to endure them. Finally,
it filters the park terribly.
Why should the peoples playground
be SO used?
Let the sale of ice cream, candy,
bottled drinks, hot dogs etc, be al
lowed--but at the concession stand
only. OF course the holder will make
less money, but which is more i'm
portant the profit, or the public well
fare and comfort.
Further allow no use of bottled
drinks. away from the stand. This
can easily be enforced by the Park
commission. Then there will not be
broken bottles and glass from one
end of the grounds to the other after
every public occasion.
1t seems to the writer after some
travel in these Eastern towns that dirt |
and litter come to be accepted as a
matter of course. 1t should not be
SO. New Britain is an attractive town
in beautiful setting. Awaken public
spirit to its possibilities and civic
spirit will soon realize that park is
for rest, recreation and beauty and
not for some one to make easy money.
l realize the problem is complicated
here by the old world customs and
habits but why not start in the schools
and educate the children to higher
standards of public order and clean
illness. Is it not as Important that we
shall learn to live socially together
as to learn the three RS!

for a work by Reynolds.
THE Young Fortune Teller"

COAL

THE public should rest assured
that there will be plenty of coal!'
This, in substance, is the latest state
ment authorized by President Coolidge
according to reliable reports. 1t was
made after two or more conferences
with Chairman Hammond of the coal
commission, and, apparently, 1t is as
definite as President Coolidge cares
to be. 1t will be noted at once, OF
to what kind of coal, whether hard or
soft, will be plentiful.
Today is what the highbrows call
the psychological moment" for such
a statement from the White House.
1T is scarcely a gamble to make such
statement now. If one who says
there will be plenty of coal, of some
kind or other proves to be wrong, the
distress will be so acute that 1t will
bring its own punishment to the Ad-
ministration no matter what the Ad-
ministration says today. The indefinite
assurance will be forgotten in the
necessity of meeting the situation. If,
however, an agreement is reached be-
tween miners and operators, and the
statement that the public should rest
assured there will be plenty of coal
proves to be correct forecast of the
situation, then the Administration will
get the credit of having assured the
people at time when assurance was
needed
An effort has been made in these
columns to follow the information as
to the coal outlook. Months ago it
seemed. judging from the news OBJ
tainable and from the opinion of ex-
perts on the matter, that there would
be more coal available this winter
than last, and at less, or at least no
higher price. Subsequent pessimistic
predictions were here noted. Comment
Was I1ldQe upon lHeln III OTueF tudL
those who followed the situation
might Judge for themselves.
The situation has not changed upon
which the opinion was formed that
there would be no more coal trouble,
and probably less, than last year. The
great amount of coal which has been
produced since the ending of the
strike, still exists. The improved
transportation is still with us. More
cars are available owing to repairs.
But, as previously stated here, if a
decided change for the better comes in
the coal situation this winter, it will
not be. because of any action of Presi-
dent Coolidge or of the coal commis-
sion except as that body has taken adj
vantage of the force of public opinion.
The victory will be victory of the
people who form that opinion and
whose power in this country has not
as yet lost its strength.

THE GATE TENDERS SIDE OF 1T

THE GATE TENDERS SIDE OF IT
August 81, 1923.
Editor, New Britain Herald,
New Britain Conn.
Dear Editor:
Kindly permit little space in your
paper, for which l thank you; you
see, l desire to reply to the item
in your paper last evening on page
s, Rail Crossing Gates, same read
with much interest by me.
You suggest a campaign to protect
careful drivers! l might say the
careful driver needs little protection
at railroad crossings. it is the speed
kings that we have to watch out for
all of the time. When there is a
reason for lowering gates, in most
cases it is done with great care or
the gates are gone and must be re-
built; it is much like playing tag, we
have to watch our chance to crowd
the gates down between traffic of the
street as they must be lowered all
the way down and that don't stop
them at times; we have just got to
do that as you know; we try to favor
street traffic all VIC can, bearing in
mind, Safety First" all of The time. (
Were drivers to approach crossings
with their car under control there will
be little need for reports such as you
refer to in your item; then, they
should proceed only as the way is
seen and known to be clear; do not
depend on the one in charge to see
for them, ones own eyes are best for
their own protection, as you must
know; again, the one in charge may
be i'll or perhaps dead. Who knows?
Why take any chances? Life is too
short to take chances of this sort and
pay with our lives. 1t don't pay. Like
others, we are human, or try to be
human; are subject to plumbers the
same as everyone is, we sometimes
make mistakes, it is not done on pur-
pose, this we assure you; we do try
hard to use good judgement an the
time which is very necessary in our
line to look out for those that only
touch the high spots on the street
with their machines and there are
a number that drive in that manner,
even at this late day.
During the past ten years, I have
noticed drivers begin to try to stop
as much as three or four hundred
feet from the crossing when the
gates were seen to be down; well,
how did the car act at such times?
1t would go from side to side on the
street, turn sideways or as seen be-
fore now, turn all the way around and
slide backwards; l recall one time
seeing a car turn all the way around
and after it got stopped. started back
up the street a short distance and
turn over on its side on the sidewalk,
a dog got involved in that instance
which was no doubt, a cause for
helping the car to go on the side as
it did.
Why try to hang us crossing tend
ers every time? Place the blame
where it belongs. We have no desire
to go to 'Wethersfeld, for we much
rather be on the outside looking in:
It il much more pleasant. Treat us
right. white and just; we will treat
you in like manner.
Yours for Caution and Safety,
A. CROSsINGTENDER
