NEW BRITAIS'S FAST
DEVELOPMENT


West Main street has had nota-
bic improvement in its business out
look the past few months, several
old landmarks have disappeared and
another seems to hang on for awhile
at least. But the turn Of Main
street will come shortly, and the
rumblings from the direction OF its
junction with Arch street indicate
that in about a years time there
will be a vast difference.
Whether it can be said that rival
ny exists between the lower part OF
West Main and that part of Main
street referred to is doubtful; yet
there is many a citizen who has
watched developments much as he
would watch a horse race or a foot
ball game. Main street at the bend
has had a few Old land marks
which will disappear when the new
realty dispensation starts in that
vicinity.
The business section is expanding,
and is not being unduly concentrat-
cd around the Center, as was once
thought likely. The Center still
lives up TO its name, but one cannot
note the improvements made and
contemplated around it without
coming to the conclusion that the
business heart Of the city will not
be circumscribcd within a small
territory.
Development Of Main street look
ing south" has been impedcd, so
some real estate men say, by the
presence of two churches and a
school building. Such things, how
ever cannot be helped and they
have as much Il right 10 cAist in the
business section as any othcd type
Of buildings. a goodly section OF
the business community passed the
churches and school long ago and
settled on the southern side Of these
buildings and in the long run it is
possible that there viii be no impede

Dear Harry:
Today I climbed mountain near

left hand was a huge forest, while
about my feet was sweet scented
grass. BY straining my ears / fan

Dear Jane:
Tonight / climbed the stairs to the
bedroom. Beneath me was stretched
acres and acres of dusty carpet,
which hasn't been swept since you
left. On my right hand was the
dresser, and on my left hand was a
huge wart, while about my feet
were socks, which are hardly sweet
scented and which certainly need
larning. l didn't have to strain my
ears to hear the relentless snore of
grandpa in the next bedroom,
rumbling forever and anon. Behind
me, In the kitchen, is a pile of
glistening white dishes, which
haven't been washed for centuries,
am sending you a ticket home.
With love and kisses,
Harry.
