Reports Wednesday from Bert
Waning of Troy. who was injured
Tuesday when his automobile COL
lided with the motor-driven hand
car used by the section hands on
the Belfast & Moosehead Lake
Railroad, are encouraging and it is
believed he is not seriously injured.
The car driven by Waning had its
curtains on and it is believed that
he did not see the approaching
hand-car until too late to avoid an
accident. The three men on the
latter were thrown off and some
what injured but not seriously, and
by a strange coincidence, Fred Par
ent, one of them, had sold the car

CONCERT FOR E. B,C.
 BY MUSICAL CLUB
Hospital Nurses Will Be Pre-
 Sented With Membership

The New Britain Musical club and the Everyman's Bible class have ob- tained the Trinity Methodist church for the concert of Monday, Novem- Der 15. it was announced today.
 The Musical club had arranged a special program which included the use of an organ with piano, strings and voices, and for this reason it was deemed desirable to give the concert in church with a good or gan, or one in good condition, with the instrument so situated as to make its use in conjunction with a piano possible. The Swedish Beth any church was considered ideal for the purpose, but was not available and the South Congregational church could not be secured because the organ is in need of repairs.
 It was then decided to forego the use of an organ, and the Trinity Methodist church was secured. This necessitates a radical change In the program, but 1t will nevertheless be novel and attractive.
 Two features of the program will be several appearances by a string quartet composed of George Wester- man, Richard Porter, Raymond Ost- man and Miss Margaret w. Perkins. The quartet will play several of the most noted of string quartet pieces and is sure to be well received, as was the case when it made its debut at school concert recently.
 Another novelty will be several pieces for two cellos and piano. It probably will be the first time in the history of the city that this combin- ation has been heard here in concert. The cellos will be played by Miss Perkins and Henry shauffler, and the piano by Miss Littlehales.
 Other attractive numbers will in- clude vocal ensembles, solos and piano music. The complete program will be published later.
 No admission will be charged to the concert. It is given by the Musical cub under the auspices of the F.. B. C. when the latter slgni- fled it's intention of purchasing a sustaining membership in the club which will be presented to the nurses of the New Britain General hospital. A large attendance of F. B. c. their friends, and the pub lie generally is anticipated. President Clarence C. Palmer has announced his intention of inviting the nurses to attend the concert.

ISFATHER OR SON
 THE MORE CAPABLE
Age Old "Batde of the Genera
 tionS' at South Church

New Brooms," the stage play by Frank Craven, has been put into film and will be shown at the South Con- gregational church Sunday evening.
 This story, written by William de Mile, concerns a young chap just out of college who believes the "old gents" way of doing business is ou,- of-date. The son (played by Neil Hamilton) thinks he could increase the business by using his theory of generosity and smiles while the father insists sternness and frowns are sometimes necessary to keep things on a paying basis.
 The argument ends with the fath- CT turning over the factory to the son for one year, also the manage ment and responsibility of the home, the father taking only his freedom and the same allowance his son received while at college.
 Rest from work and responsibil- ity causes the father to grow genial and younger. while the son becomes more grouchy than the father ever was as business problems begin to heap up before him and people take advantage Of his smiles and gener- osity.
 At the end of the trial year the boy ruefully admits he is not a suc- cess and humbly accepts the offered help of his father.
 The experiences through which he passes before reaching this point makes what is said by some to be one of the finest human action pic- lures ever filmed.

 Says Appeal for Pledges

A statement that Everyman's Bible class is running behind its expenses at the rate of approximate ly s90 a week, is found in form let ter recently sent out by the execu- | tive committee, which met last eve ming in a special meeting with the leader Dr. D. D. Vaughan. The letter points out that 1t had been found necessary to procure a permanent leader for the entire sea- son, and that the speakers commit tee obtained the services of Dr. Vaughan at a price of s1o0 per Sum- day for 36 weeks. The executive committee approved the action of the speakers committee. The letter further states that:
 Tn order to insure the immediate financing of the class at the open ing of the season, few men guar anteed the speakers salary but they did not underwrite 1t. These men got the project well started, for which they deserve our thanks, but It is the responsibility of the mem hers 10 continue the class and to finance it themselves.
 At present the financial condition of the class is this:
 Weekly expenses ........ $135.00 "Collections (average) .... 45.o0 Deficit 5000
