BUILDING BILLBOARDS
 MAY BE ELIMINATED
Ordinance Committee Con- siders Big Signs Menace
 to Public

Big, obtruding advertising signs in New Britain are doomed to eXtinc- ton, if the ordinance committee Of the common council has its way. Completion of the building ordi- nance, as announced by Chairman David L. Nair Of the committee to- day, calls for their elimination in the interest of public safety within q reasonable time.
 "The big advertising signs on some of New Britain's buildings are dangerous in the estimation of the committee" Councilman Nair an- nounced today. "A gust of wind might blow them over. And they also are unsightly We've got to protect the public, and control the billboard situation. The owners of the signs, if the council passes the ordinance as drafted, undoubtedly will be given a stated period to eliminate them. This has to be done in the public interest,"
 The ordinance committee also has taken action regarding underground sidewalk extensions from places Of business, so that the building in spector and the board of public works will supervise them in the in- terest of public safety.
 Another point incorporated in the building code is that covered wood- en sidewalks will have to be con- struCted during building operations so that the public will not be forced to walk into the street and endanger their lives from traffic.
 The plumbing code and the cleo trical code are not vet finished. The ordinance committee will hold meet ings within the next week to work on them.

TN QUICK QUAKER-the
i worlds fastest hot breakfast
the famous toasty flavor of the
real Quaker Oats has been re-
tanned.
That, to you, is important; for
flavor is the big point, after ALL

No other brand has that flavor.
It took Quaker Oats experts years
to attain it, and, at the same
time, give you 3 to minute cooking
Quaker milling, too, retains
much of the "bulk" of oats. And
that makes laxatives less often

are thus combined in making
Quaker Oats an excellently bal
