Observation On The Weather

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Forecast for Southern New England: Show CTS tonight and Tuesday; warmer tonight and on east coast Tuesday; fresh to strong southeast and south winds.
 Forecast for Eastern New York: Cloudy tonight and Tuesday; warmer tonight and in extreme south portion Tuesday; colder Tues day in north portion; fresh to strong north and southwest winds.
 Conditions: The storm that passed over this section yesterday is now og the north Atlantic coast near Halifax, N. s. It produced showers in the lake region, the middle Atlantic states and New England. Another disturbance is centered over the lake region this morning and rain is falling as far east as Syracuse and New York city with snow at Albany. Pres- sure is high over the east Gulf states, the northern plains states and the north Pacific coast region- Temperatures are relatively low along the northern border from the Rocky mountains eastward to Maine.
 Conditions favor for this vicinity unsettled weather with slightly higher temperature.
New Britain herald., 1926-10-18

from the trees and the time not far distant when bonfires will be built to help dispose of the clutter which filters the streets and yards 1t Is well to offer a seasonal word of warning to parents to watch their offspring that they do not injure themselves playing about a fire, or build a fire which might damage property.
 But last Saturday a four-year- old died after having been burned while he was throwing papers upon bonfire near the Washington school. Boylke, he played too close to the blaze, disregarding in structions to keep away. His mis- take was fatal. Not all occasions of children playing near a fire will result as did this one, but there is always the possibility and 1t Is quite worth guarding against.
New Britain herald., 1926-10-18
MORE POSTNrEN ON THE LOCAL FORCE

The addition of three new letter carriers to the New Britain post office force will be gratefully re- ceived in the sections to benefit by the increased opportunities for de- livery of malls to the homes. The force has been increased from 2S 10 sf, according to an announce ment by Postmaster H, E. Erwin This. 1t Is figured, will give 5000 more residents home delivery of letters.
 There has been little cause for complaint with the local handling of malls, outside of the need for delivery on some streets which have not had the facilities offered by the government. It seems safe to say that the New Britain office does as well, considering the force that 1t has to work with as any office about the country. But the city finds itself in the same pre- dicament in regard to mail service as 1t does to schools and public utilities. It is growing so fast that it seems constantly a jump or two behind it's needs. That is better however, than going down hill and finding that our population Is fall ing off so fast that our pubic services are too cumbersome.
New Britain herald., 1926-10-18

will receive wide public acclaim.
 The concert of the New Britain Choral society last winter was a landmark in local musical history. The large chorus and orchestra provided an unexcelled concert one that will be remembered for years to come. Another Is expected this year - a stellar event, such as the forerunners have been. There are many admirers of this splendid organization who are Of the opinion that the concerts given annually should be two in number. As the chorus is a large local as- semblage, the interest In their of terings is correspondingly great. There no doubt Is much work and worry attached to such things, but the society no doubt would find public support available for two concerts AS a stimulator of musi- cal interest the choral society has been a wonderful success, and It's future looks even brighter than Its past.
 But there are other musical or ganizations in the city which are alive to their opportunities. For instance, there is the Wennerberg Male chorus. That this Is one of the finest of male choruses in Con- necticut there can be no doubt. Un- der the direction of talented clergyman, the Rev. Abel A. Ahl- quist, the chorus with right is one of the brides of the city. Frequent ly appearing in public, its influence for good can scarcely be overesti- mated.
 Numerous other organizations consisting of ensembles of various sorts likewise are frequently on programs; and as for the singers, they are with us right and left. Most of the singers are identified with the churches, which offer such wide field for vocal effort. The general average of vocal at tainment in New Britain seems to be well above the average. And of course, the presence of individual executants upon various instru- ments Is not to be overlooked; the city can own them with justiflable pride. They add to the joy and in- terest of living and make us for get the commonplaces of life.
 Music in the ranks of the young In this city is at a higher plane than has been generally realized. The total of learners has been pre- viously hinted at; and there is scarcely a school or a church where singing by the young is not feature.

25 Tears Ago Today

Arthur Spencer was injured at P. tS r. Corbin's today. A heavy weight fell from an elevator and struck him on the head, inflicting a, bad gash.
 The residents of Greenwood and Locust streets have a grievance, They complain that gang of rowdies gathers near the corner of these streets and annoys passersby. The other night a young man was held up on the public highway. Sev- eral women have been frightened by the toughs.
 A disease seems to be spreading among New Britain canines, the latest to succomb being John F. Storey's St. Bernard puppy. The cases seem to be mostly cold and pneumonia.
 A son was born last night to MT and Mrs. Fred Beloin.
