CENTRALIZED GOVT.
 NOT THE BEST IDEA
Rep. Garrett Warns at Bunker
 Hill Day Address in Boston

Boston, June 1S.--A plea for a halt in the mad rush toward centraliza- ton of governmental functions" was spoken today by Representative Finis J. Garrett of Tennessee at the Bunker Hill celebration.
 Mir. Garrett declared there were two major reasons which brought the peo- ples of the new states to form the fed eral entity-one realization of the necessity for the preservation of liber- ties from foreign aggression and the other necessity of assuring prosper ity by the free and easy exchange of commodities between the scattered commonwealths.
 T am wondering" he declared If 1t be not appropriate here on this spot sacred to every lover of Ameri- can institutions to adjure recollec- tion of just what that battle was fought for and to plead for halt in the mad rush toward centralization of governmental functions and absorp- ton by the federal organism of gov- ernmental powers"
 The speaker emphasized the perfor- nance of state duties by the state continuing:
 "I would render unto the nation the things that are the nations and unto the states the things that are the states; or to put it more exactly I would have the people do througt the states all the necessary govern mental things than can there be done and would have the federal arm ex- tend only to those things and themes which the states cannot reach"

 Lives might have been lost again at Clayton crossing when those signal devices did not work.

CALLED INTO ACTION

Never have men of this eauRtFy
 failed when the call came to defend
 the country, Never have the women
 failed te do their share, Defense of
 country has meant in the past, gener-
 ally, the shaulderlng ef arms, first the
 sld-time musket; later the modern
 rifle and the wearing of gasrmask,
 Bnt men and women may he moved
 just as deeply by eall 10 action in
 defense af the country requiring
 neither rife. nor gas-mask nor the
 making Of surgical dressings, The emergency which inspired that call may not he as apparent as would be a threatening enemy force. but the subtil'y of it might make il even more to he feared.
 Defense Of the country means more than defense Of its physical hounda- rics-the country" which is the for eign enemy's objective. II means de- fense Of the principles upon which il is founded. the conntry's creed. the traditions and ideals which have per- petua'ed Ii. And it is to the defense of these principles. traditions. ideals
 -all Of which may Dc summed up in tho spirit Of the constitution-that the call 10 action now is heard in the hearts Of true American men and women. and true men and women who have made the United States their own land by adoption.
 To obey this call there is no need to prepare material ammunition, to gather and to be mustered in. No great assembly halls or armories are needed. The preparation may be made in the secret closet at first, then in the opening among men and women learned in the practical history of the events of the day and the past, and then, more in the open, in the places where grave decisions are made which decide the country's destiny. A call to political understanding and action; a call to arousing interest in men and measures and motives; 8 call to think deeply of the danger that threatens our traditions, ideals and princi- are the calls being heard | today. If they are not needed by | honest, intelligent people the bull warks of this country of ours will crumble. We will be wide open to that other sort of attack from with put which will again send the men to | the rifles, the women to the rooms where are made the bandages to stop he blood of our young men.

MOTOR ACCIDENTS
 IN WEEK TOTAL l5l
New Britain Reported 11-.State
 Officials Are Encouraged

Three fatalities, forty-three acci- dent resulting in injuries, and six mo- torcycle collisions are the outstanding features of the report of the motor vehicle department for the seven larg- CT Connecticut cities for last week. In spite of these facts, the department reports, that, considering the great in- crease in registration lists, the acci- dent situation is under much better control in the seven cities than in the outlying and rural districts. For the week ending May there were but nine more accidents than there were for the same week last year.
 New London, Meriden and Hartford are at the head of list with the greatest number of accidents, consid- ering registration and population.
 One fatality occurred in Hartford, one in Bridgeport and one in New Haven.
 The officials of the department, af- ter considering the ever-increasing list and the growing tour st-traffic, are confident that the small increase in accidents in the larger cit ies is due to the combined efforts of the people in, those communities in- terested in accident prevention.

GRADUATION TIME

Many men in middle life or old age have some pretty serious moments at this time of year. Young people are being graduated from schools all over the country. The older ones, those people who have serious, thoughtful moments as each June comes around, envy the youth of the country as boys and girls, young men and women, take their diplomas and start out into life.
 Not that the older ones would give up their present happiness; not that they are dlscontented with their pres ent state. They would not have the years that have passed erased from their lives for those years have brought much happiness and knowl- edge together with the pain and worry that has come. The family. the home. the reputation that has been established would not be given up far from that. But nevertheless those older ones regret that they did not make the most of the advantages that came to them some June many years ago. perhaps-- the advantages and opportunities that lie before those being graduated this June.
 And so the young people today are envied. The possibilities before them are almost unlimited. Each day. week. month and year counts--they should be made 10 count to the utmost. And the lessons the older people have learned include the one that a poor day, poor week. month, year, should not discourage, but, rather. should bring the inspiration to make the next day or year so much better than the last that the first mistake is more than made up for by the knowl- edge gained through that mistake.
 And. thinking of the young people starting life at this time. many of those older ones receive a new inspira- ton to feel that they. too. are being graduated this June from the school of the years of experience they have had. Those older ones may realize rightly that the field Of opportunities ts not closed 10 them. Again they re- | <tg the ambiti9za they had those

NEW BRITAIN TIME

A matter of more importance than would at first appear will come before the common council Wednesday night, IL is the plan to test the eonstitu- tionaiity of the time law now on the statute books Of the state forhidding the public display Of other than stan dard time. We favor the test We believe making that test in a proper. dignihed and sincere manner. would be the act Of a progressive communi- ty seeking to find out if NC are obliged 10 do something that brings confusion 10 the majority of the people Of that community. We believe that the law is unconstitutional. as law would be unconstitutional which prohibited a man. by word of mouth. telling an- other the time and using daylight saving time as the basis of his in- formation.
 But we do not want New Britain to stand out as city which defes the law Of the state. We do not want the people of the city to be stamped as people who defy the law. As we have already advised our readers we believe in setting our clocks on standard time and moving up our hour of working. If this is not done generally-and it has not been done generally--we admit that private clocks, with which the law has nothing to do, may well be set on daylight time.
 But in the city's official action the greatest care must be taken to have 1t understood the setting of publicly displayed clock on daylight time will be done only for the honest purpose of finding out If this may be done legally and the doing of 1t legally would come only if the present law is declared unconstitutional.
 The matter will come before the common council. A plan will be pre- sented which has been carefully thought out by the city's legal ad- wiser This plan should be given great weight and any amendments to it should not be adopted without full consideration and his approval. This is the point to be emphasized. New Britain should not be placed in the wrong light. We want to test the law. Let it be tested in proper way. | This Is technical. legal matter, and | the corporation counsel's advice should be given great weight.

CROSSING THE STREET

There are people in this city who object to the white lines on the pave- ments in the crowded districts in- dicating where 1t is best for all con- cerned to cross the street. They be- lieve 1t takes away from their right to personal liberty of choice. There will be people who will object to the Gross Here" signs which are plan ned here for such spots where people should cross in order to facilitate traf- fic at the same time safeguard the lives and limbs of those crossing the street.
 One can not fail to have an under standing of this mental attitude, and vet there is a way out. The streets be- long to the people. A man or woman should never be made to feel that the law requires him to walk tangible straight line when he believes he has a right to walk line of his own choosing as long as he interferes with no one else.
 And there lies the cruX of the mat ter. We object to laws that crudely take from us some right we have long enjoyed, "Verboten" Is a word despis- cd in this contry. Don't do this" and Don't do that" commands are thor oughly unpopular, so much so that the wise parent refrains from their con- stant repetition to the child. It is the manner in which the thing is ap- preached that counts
 The white lines serve a good pur- rose as will the signs "cross here,' inst as direction signs serve good pur- nose. The white line should no more be considered offensive commands than should the sign, with the arrow, pointing the way to the next city Both should be considered merely aids to the traveller or aids to the pedes- trian, just as the new Gross Here signs should be considered, It does no harm to tell ourselves the truth about ourselves once in a while. We are a people who can be easily led but we'll be darned if we'll be driven.
 When we stop to consider that the people as a whole in the city will be made great deal more comfortable and that walking across the street will be much safer if we observe the rules agreed upon as wise. we will gladly observe them with the mental reser- vation that. of course. we could walk across the street In the middle of the block if we wanted to. But. being sensible people and believing in the principle the greatest good to the 1 greatest number" we graciously con- ,snt to walk between the white lines | md "Cross Here" when we are asked | o do so for the convenience and safe y of all.
