THE OBSER VER- Makes Random Observations ,sasH
 On the City and Its People "7F

CT in a sea of rebuke, which, be- cause we like the man, we'd hate to see him in, and we are taking this opportunity to point out the first traces of the well known handwrit- ing on the wall and nudge him gently in an effort to warn him.
 In last Saturdays game with the Commerce High school of Spring field, eleven men rushed onto the field of battle and, by means of 8 few breaks and a considerable quantity of hard fast playing, man. aged to pile up the score to 16 to in favor of the Red and Gold. Starting the game and continuing throughout the four quarters until the final whistle, one youth played what has been summed up by all present as Q poor brand of football He fumbled and stumbled and lost yardage and missed tackles. He messed signals and failed to take out his man-it was awful. And not long after his horrible brand of football became evident to the throngs surrounding the gridiron, there was a mighty tumult and a shouting embodying requests to Take him out!" We are not ad- vising the mighty guardian of High school scores to act on each whim of the public, 10 yank men forth and put men in at each whisper of criticism. Between the two courses that would be by far the worst one to pursue, but when mans play ing is evidently below standard when his efforts do not quite make the grade and the man is enjoying one of those common "off days" he should be removed and someone else given the chance to take his place.
 With the score indicating that the game was on ice and with but a few minutes 10 play no substitutes were sent from the bench into the scrimmage. One player was hurt and somebody did finally trot from the wooden slab into his place in line. But the others, man! It is mighty discouraging 10 any player to practice hard for five afternoons a week and to drum his heels dis day of a game. Give them chance, Mr. Coach-you never can tell what they might turn out to be.
 Lose a couple of yards. Let the other team blow holes in these new chaps-let them even score. High school athletics were intended for the students that enjoyed the game and given to them in an effort to develop them for some future day when their training might stand them in good stead.
 It has always been the aim of the athletic department of the High school to strive for "The greatest good for the greatest number the motto of the High school athletic department. Did we hear somebody in the back ejaculate "Humph" or was it the wind in the trees?
 The varsity squad is a hard work ing bunch of men and they deserve all the credit given them but any favoritism is as deplorable as the stigma of using "ringers.'
 It is his job to turn out 8 win ming team but beside that issue we recognize the fact that everyone out for the team should have an equal chance to develop into a sec ond Zip" Zehrer.

The parking problem in New Brit ain has become a no parking prob- lem. Every few days some change is made in the colors or lettering of the signs which now are as ire quent as the automobiles once were If the city ever rules billboards out it will be forced to begin at home with it's no parking signs. The least that the police department could do would be to brighten the key-shap- ed boards with drawing of movie stars or baseball players or embel- fish them with quotations from Chaucer, Victor Hugo and Marion Fairfax, but as things are, a hope less motorist can only drive past an uninteresting line of colored pla- cards which are close enough to- gether to form a picket fence.
 Seriously, though, the situation Is becoming difficult for the motorist who works or has business to trans act in the center of the city. Max ing a survey of the central streets, we fine flve-minute and ten-minute parking the general rule on Main street. West Main is restricted tc

Queen Marie, of Roumania, you know, failed to go on the air as per schedule last evening, although she eventually spoke into the mike, a couple of stations only broad casting her speech instead of a hook-up of many.
 It was explained that the Queen had become all balled up on the time for the speech.
 Or that the stations had become balled up, which amounts to the same thing.
 The Queen and Suzanne Lenglcn have something else in common.
 Besides being publicity hunters.
 Suzanne goes up in the air, lit erally at times, fguratively at others.

Congratulations Gene" Earnest! An efficient fireman, a capable exc cutive, and real gentleman in every sense of the word, he Is de- serving of the felicitations of the entire city on the 40th anniversary of his appointment to the fire de- partment, of which he is now second in command.
 Regardless what positions he may hold or what titles are showered on him, to all his friends he will ever be Gene" He is the type of man who enjoys serving the municipal- ity. Under the old system which re- ouired the firemen to be on duty day and night, six days a week, he was faithful and willing to do more than his share in the great battle for life and property, and since the change to the two platoon system he has continued to serve with greater re- sponsibilities upon him, in the same spirit which has always character ized his connection with the depart ment.
 We can think of no better wish than that the endowment of health may always be his, and that he may find in the years that are coming after his 40th anniversary, greater opportunities to serve the depart ment he loves so well with the same efficiency he has displayed since that day back in 1886 on which he was voted into No. 1 Co. as a suh- stitute callman.

so minutes on both sides. On Church, Elm and Arch streets one side may be used for 30 minutes and the oth- CT side is absolutely no cars land. One side of South High, Walnut and Court streets is available for 60 minutes, while no parking is allow ed on the other. Chestnut street is irrevocably "out." On High, Lake, and Myrtle streets and Corbin place the one side where parking is al- lowed is. for a wonder, unrestricted. The same was true of Washington street until Thursday, when a row of no parking signs was set up Yin the middle of the road to announce that both sides of this thoroughfare were now taboo; yet a taxi stand was allowed at the entrance. where the traffic congestion is heaviest.
 And then the city itself couldn't keep pace with it's own restricting and took the signs down again. Fig uring all these many "verboten" locations together, we are led to wonder if any of the city fathers have cars which they ever want 10 park in the center.
 Another peculiarity of the regula- tions is that the restrictions in the five-minute districts are removed after supper while those in the S0- and 0-minute zones remain in force all night. What is this, any way, a game?
 Theatergoers are now forced to park alonside of Walnut Hill park and workers in downtown offices be- side the Stanley Rule factory. If matters get much worse, man set ting out for work in the morning will drive out of his garage. park in front of his house, and then walk or take the trolley to the office. In fact, the day does not seem far dis tant when the "Wclcome to New Britain" signs posted at the town line on the roads leading into the city will be torn down and replaced by others reading New Britain No Parking"
