Safety League regarding betting parties" in a cemetery. A long suf- fering public has awaited eagerly for the day when some public body would officially put its stamp of dis approval on these Paul Prys who consider it Q matter of duty to reg ulate the consciences of the rest of Us mortalS who are stecped in sin and begged in the mircs of the Devil
 Not that the Observer encourage the Use of cemeteries as substitutes for parlors in the home. Not at all. A cemetery is a sacred place and the dead should be respected. But the Civic Safety League has made such 9 nuisance Of itself lately that one feels constrained to chortle when it is rebuked.
 Organizations like the Civic Safe ty League are no novelty. Since time began there have been people who have laid down narrow lines between which the remainder of the race was supposed 10 tread. In every community there are long nosed self-appointed investigators who are not happy unless they are regulating this or regulating that, forever polk ing into other folks affairs. Usually they concentrate their efforts on the enforcement of some special law and would like nothing better than 10 usurp the police powers of gov ernment so they could compile a list of "DOnrs" for their fellow citizens to follow. These organiza- tions spring up under different names. They have a passion to re- form humanity and their method savers of coercion rather than edu- cation. They think 1t sufficient to pass law restricting human activi- ties and expect it to function with out taking into consideration the fact that the race is weak and thai the just man sins many times be- tween the rising and setting of the sun.
 The Civic Safety League has set Itself Up on a pedestal and has be- come obnoxious to most people. who, in the long run, have as good a chance of entering heaven aa these sanctiiied saints.
 Away with the pigs wrists and sauer kraut. Lock up the heavy meats and gravies Summer is here, X change of diet suited to the caI- endar is as necessary as change in the type of clothing worn, if you would be healthy. The menu winch would be a light snack on January 1 might be fatal, or cause serious illness in July.
 Certain foods such as the proteins, meats, fish, eggs. cheese and nuts are heat producing the state board of health broadcasts. When taken in excess they perceptibly raise the temperature of the body. So one should first cut down the protein in the summer dict unless one is already in the habit of using these in moderate amount Cheat or fish not oftcner than once daily). The richer meats such as ham, and pork and Hll fried meats should be reduced since these are more diffi- cult of digestion and so add an eX- tra burden on the digestive system. To tighten the load all along the line is the best policy during the extreme heat.
 Hot weather slows up ones activi- ties, so less food should be taken. This is accomplished by eating less of the starchy foods such a bread. pastry, and cake. and reducing the fats. Naturally one turns to salads, fresh vegetables and fruits at this season as there is q lavish assort- mcnt to choose from. These, with their fiber content give satisfaction without adding excessively 10 the calories while their mineral and vit- amin content give them a high health score.
 Water should be used freely dur Ing the hot weather, as this restores the large amount lost through per- spiration. Over-indulgence in soft drinks should be avoided, but free use of lemon and orangcade is a health measure, since it adds the de- sired alkalinity to the diet. Ice water in large quantities is a dan- gerous habit, and the iced tea and coffee habit may prove disastrous If it means several tall glasses a day.
 Eating moderately of cool nour- ishing dishes should be the summer plan, and drinking of the natural rather than the artificial beverages
 Every week brings further evi- dences that the temporary war me moriaI at the entrance to Walnut Hill park cannot much longer re- main and if something is to be done in the direction of providing a per manent memorial no time should be lost in renewing agitation.
 It would be too bad the present court of honor is permitted to stand until it's condition makes its removal the only alternative to a constant reminder of New Britain's lack Of something lasting and suitable to memorialize the deeds of those Who died in the service. Yet such as the possibility continually growing.
 To provide a memorial requires deal of agitation, some study o' city finances and financing, planning and various other details. EVentu' ally the city must delye into It's treasury for funds for this purpose Mayor Weld has indicated his Will ingness to have the outlay Of funds begin during his administration anc
