timony, to be followed b. a represent

II is considered a term of appre- ciation. of humor of endearment, even - this term of "old-timers. p Yet in the true sense, the men of the Stanley Quarter Century club arc not old and tottering nor near the end Of useful lives. They arc young in spirit, middle-age in effi- ciency and ripe in experience. The imprint Of their skill has gone into New Britain products; at bottom they have been the mainstay of a great local industry, enabling it to attain the reputation that has fol- lowed the ships to all quarters of the globe.
 They are not ld-timers; they are prescnt-timers; up-to-date hustlers. Long may they be beacon-lights in the industry with which they have been identified so long. They rep resent the best in manpower and citizenship,

A S2,500.00O JOB

Yes, enlarging the Shuttle Meadow reservoir will cost the city $2,50O,0O0. "A heap of money" some economical citizens will say. But no matter what is said there must be sure and steady supply of good drinking water. Everybody is agreed upon that point. Costs are secondary.
 The money, which would have to be secured through a bond issue. would not increase the city's al- ready high indebtedness. as water bonds are not included in the debt limitation.
 Virtually all cities are going through the same financial turmoil regarding the water situation. Ap- proximately half the country's population now lives in cities; many residents can remember when only one-third were urban dwell CTS. The more people crowd into cities the greater the necessity to serve them with the essentials of existence, including water. And the latter is one thing that simply can not be neglected.
