New Britain can pride itself on many worth while contributions to the idustrial world, has fine build ings, theaters and other things which go to make its citizens proud to claim residence here. But the fact that one essential is lacking is becoming more evident each day, and that essential is a recreation hall.
 There is some social activity near ly every night but it is impossible to accommodate all who wish to at tend because of the lack of q hall large enough to hold great many people.
 In surrounding towns and cities, no matter how small the population, it is possible in nearly every case to find an auditorium large enough to accommodate the populace. They are equipped with good dancing floors, ample floor space as well as stages and dressing. rooms. There are rest rooms, in fact, everything which should go with well con- ducted place of entertainment.
 In New Britain if a party wishes to attend an entertainment or dance, he or she must arrive at the hall at least an hour ahead or tune if admission is desired. At that, 1t is usually so crowded that the danc- ing becomes sort of football game with each couple trying to find space enough to dance. In some places there are not even dressing rooms and the patrons are forced to leave their coats and hats any where there may be a vacant chair or pile them in a bunch in some corner, and usually the corners or chairs are so dust laden that the coat is anything but attractive when the time comes to go home. If a girl wears an expensive coat and hat she does not care to wipe the floor with them nor does she wish to crush them up into small space.
 Also, girls who are sensitive about such matters, do not care to be obliged to powder or rouge in front of an audience. It is not consider ed the proper thing to do but it is necessary if there is no other place to do it, for as the dear ladies know, powder and rouge are essential to keep up appearances.
 There is one recreation hall un- der construction at the present time but whether or not this will solve the problem remains to be seen.
 The annual losing battle of the motorists against the winter is be- ginning. Stalled cars line the roads each morning and those Thich arc able to make headway proceed like locomotives with steam spouting from the radiator caps. You may try to avoid the effects of the win- try blasts-well, just try!
 You go down to the garage and think cheerfully about the snappy quality of the weather. You climb into the old bus and gloat mentally over the poor pedestrians who must walk the cold sidewalks and freeze their feet, And then ~e starter causes only reluctant glurg. You attempt to pull out the choke, and 1t is stuck, giving way only to brute force which threatens to pull the entire engine into the front seat. The starter again, Swifter revolu-

was very sorry he didn't know he
 was in front of me or he would
 have started holding out his hand
 two miles before he stopped. Wasn't
 that sweet of him and I could see he
 was awfully sorry about it so I didn't | have him arrested.
 I've met the CUTEST people since I got the car and one man that I nearly knocked down had the cut est little mustache and when he | talked fast it went up and down like an elevator and l got to GIGGLING abou 1t so that I could hardly l STOP. And there was a nice little | policeman that waved at me but I really think these policemen should keep in their place and not go flirting with girls when they should be out catching burglars and things.
 That scratch on the fender7 Well that was all the other mans FAULT because I was trying to and I would have done it if he hadn't been perfectly SILLY and turned out right INTO me without doing anything more than sticking out his old hand. I had to laugh though because it was really his fault and he got the worst of 1t be- cause he broke his front wheel and absolutely RUINED the fender and all I got was a little scratch. He wasn't mad though because Poppa said he'd been to see him and he wasn't mad only about one hundred dollars worth.
 "The only thing about driving is that I've simply GOT to remember to put GAS in the car because the other day I took Jerry out for ride and I ran out of gas and he had to walk about eight miles -or some and I guess he didn't like it much because I haven't seen him since but I think it was SILLY Of him to get MAD about a little thing like that.
 i've only been arrested TWICE and that was for parking in front of little old hydrant that they must think is awfully VALUABLE or something because they won't let ANYBODY park in front of it. l didn't even TOUCH the old thing and it cost me FIVE DOLLARS just to park there. I told the judge thought it was AWFUL and he asked me what would happen Tn case of FIRE and l said that they could look me up and I would move the car for mem but I didn't see any need of getting MAD about 1t and charging me FIVE DOLLARS. The other time I ran past a RED LIGHT and the policeman asked me if I was color blind or what and I said I didn't think there were any policemen around at that time of night and he said well now ] knew there was and I had better S e the judge to find out what his office hours were and he would give me a free seat in the court room 50 that I could get the LOW DOWN on it. He said it so funny ] just had to GIGGLE and he got LAUGHING l and he could hardly write out the 1 ticket he was laughing so hard.
 Well I must dash along because l I was supposed to be in court at | nine o'clock and it's nearly NOON | now and l don't think it's best to | keep these judges waiting TOO | long,"
