AN EARNED RETIREMENT

The Herald the other day carried a story relating 10 the retirement of George r. Hem from the en- ploy Of Russell (; Erwin, after hay ing been employed by this firm for 51 years. The record of MT Hem was made more notable from the fact that his father before him had served the firm for 45 years. It is rare that father and son are em- ployed by one firm for a combined period of 96 years, In the case of the younger Mr. lIonn, he Outlasted every building of the plant except one the news report stating that when he entered the employ of the firm II years ago only the present foundry was standing.
 New Britain has many empIoyes who have been identified with local lnu NSi TIES IDI II OIIl ~o. NO "V E"oI 7' the list growing notably smaller as the haIf-contury mark IS reached. There may have been other fathers and sons who have been employed Tor a combined period of 96 years but if SO, memory does not record the instances.
 The Herald congraruIates Mir. Henn upon his long service in local industry and is willing 10 grant that his retirement from active par'icI- pation in the future industrial life of the city is well deserved. May he enjoy the sunset Of life to the full.

June Nights

By Aileen Teweles What Is so rare as night in June? Then, If ever, do love-sick guys Walk with their ladies beneath the
 moon, Promising everything heath the,
 skies. That Is the way that 1t used to be When your Pa had his lovelorn
 spell. Is that the sort of thing now you
 see? Not so you'd notice 1t, darling Nell! Though the June nights are as rare
 as then, Now the young people don't have
 to walk; They drive the car to some dale or
 glen, Petting inside, with occasional talk. Yes. it's some step from the good
 old nights, Things now are not as they used to
 be; Young folks laugh at the slow-poke
 wights Making love under the apple tree. It won't be long till on nights in
 June Lovers will call with a flying ma
 chine. Taking their sweeties up under the
 moon, Back of some clouds where they
 can't be seen. Then they will laugh,' while away
 up there, At the old folks who had cars for
 toys, For, just as long as June nights are
 fair, Girls will be girls and boys will be
 boys!

 Q. How is terra cotta ware made? A. Terra cotta is usually made from a mixture of clays, or a mater al of a refractory or semi-refractory character, these being used because of their buff-burning qualities and resistance to heat in burning. The ware, if of simple design, is pressed by hand in plaster moulds, but com plicated shapes require to be mod elled free.hand. Great care is nec- cssarg in drying and burning the ware, in order to prevent cracking and warping, indeed, large designs have to be made and burned in sev- eral parts, which are afterwards fit ted together. The burning is done in muffle kilns.

"N FAIR COMPROMISE"

Tho so-calIcd railroad station of the New Haven railroad in New Britain never got such a blast of ridicuIo and condemnation as that given it by the joint committee of the Common Council and the Chamber of Commerce. But along in inc report the startled reader came upon these words:
 'The committee seemed 10 be
 Of an accord that an entire new
 station really was needed, but
 folt that the repairs and i'm
 provements suggested would be
 fair compromise
 From this it is to be inferred that the joint committee, perhaps de- spairing of inducing tho New Haven railroad 10 build a new station in this generation or even the next -- is of the opinion it is time to repair and paint up the present sta ton.
 In a sense this conclusion will be disappointment to citizens who have been of the opinion that noth- ing but new station was worth agitating for True, all the agitation Of the past has led to nothing. Off, fcials of the railroad have listened. and that has been about all Plans for d new station" have been as pro- life as weeds along a public high way and have ranged all the way from proposal 10 construct a new station in the eastern section of the city, at or near where the two stems of the railroad join; the con- struction of a first class city station at or near New Britain Junction, on the main line; or the Construc- ton of a new station at or near the present site in New Britain, On one or two occasions officials of the rail- road have kindly accepted plans, with the promise 10 make a report later" But it takes the railroad q long time to make it's reports, es- pecially if it is unwilling to commit itself 10 any plan of action that will cost money.
 The New Haven railroad can offer no logical excuse for permitting the New Britain railroad station to get in class with rubbish heaps. In d sense it is an insult to the city. Even if there has been no intention in the minds ot railroad officials to build new station here in years, there has been no reason for per- mitting d terminal in a city Of 7o.- GOO to degenerate into the most di- lapidatcd structure Of the kind III city of this size in New England. The railroad ought 10 have had sufficient pride in it's property not o permit this degeneration.
 The joint committee Of the Coun- cll and the C. of C. has begun d constructive move which if followed out will eliminate some of the soul aspects of the present horrible eN- ample and not be very costly, A neat station, well painted and prop urly arrangeI will at least be a sterling improvement over present iutolerablc conditions.

JOHN D. GOOD SUBJECT.
NOTED SCULPTOR SAYS
10 Davidson Reveals Details of
Work on Statue of Oil King,
Just Completed.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December l0.-An
insight into Incidents attending the
modelling of the twice-life-Size statue
Of John y. Rockefeller, unveiled Tues
day in the Standard Oil Building in
lower Broadway, was given yesterday
by 10 Davidson, the sculptor, as he
was about TO sail on the steamship
Berengaria for France. where he is
to complete a bust OF Myron 7. Her
rick, the American Ambassador.
Mr.. Rockefeller proved a willing and
patient subject, the sculptor said, dur
ing the two weeks necessary for the
original modelling Of the figure. The
statue itself took about a year to COM
plete.
On his first visit to the oil magnate
the sculptor found him lying on a
couch. Mr.. Rockefeller arose and ex-
pressed fear that the strain of posing
might be somewhat severe. The sculp-
tor assured him this would not be the
case, and that he would be able TO
mold his clay into any position desired
by the subject.
We'll, I'm Just going out to play
golf said Mr.. Rockefeller; can you
catch me that way?'
1T would be a bit difficult for me
10 follow You about molding my
clay" replied the artist.
Il have to carry my clay all the
time" commented Mr. Rockefeller.
