GREETING THE STRAND, CITY'S NEW THEATER

The opening of the Strand theater in New Britain is of vast significance in the theatrical progress of the city. Here is a theater which, from all accounts is notable contribution to the really fine thespian temples in the state, if not in New England.
 New Britain greets this splendid new enterprise with fervor, not un. mixed with pride that the city has been deemed of sufficient impor- tance to merit the construction of such an edifice catering to the need for amusement.
 New Britain likewise will wish 1t a successful career, and is ready to point with pride to Its artistic em- bellishments as a fitting reflection of the city's progressive spirit.
 New Britain will greet the Strand in the spirit in which 1t is provided. From an amusement standpoint IL IS a milestone in the history Of the city; from any other standpoint 1t IS a public acquisition of significant social value to the community and surrounding towns.
 Good luck, and good cheer.

JOINING THE RED CROSS

The annual roll of the Red Cross is being called. It Is an honor to belong to this great humanitarian organization. It includes millions of Americans; thousands in New Brit ain are enrolled.
 The consistently able work per- formed by the Red Cross whenever disaster has visited any section of the country scarcely needs emphasis. Tn the wake of every recent flood and tornado, the Red Cross has been active, meriting nationwide attention and commendation. At such times 1t is satisfaction to realize that the dollars given by citizens is put to the work of succoring the homeless and putting ones stricken fellows back upon their feet.
 Belonging to the Red Cross Is pri- marily an appeal to conscience and duty. The roll call In New Britain should be even more successful than in the past.

BUS RATES
1t operates

The public which formerly hau much criticism to make regardlns fsre increases of varying sorts re- rarded the independent bus lines a. examples of what could be pro- vided for rock-bottom prices.
 The public last year discovered with . start that Independent ous lines were not to be operated as playthinss, but the attempt to raise ,ar.. failed because the Public Utilities Commission had no definite figures upon which to base a verdict.
 Now, after sufficient time has elapsed to be more definite, ous owner ha, come forward with a de- mand for an eight cent fare.
 The P. U. c. has shown no dis position to force concerns to oper' ate at a loss; indeed, 1t could no' be done where the loss was prover beyond a doubt, and not merely alleged. That being the case the op' ponents of the rate increase will have the usual hard rate fight or their hands.

MISSOLINI APOLOGIZES

Premier Mussoini knows when he is in wrong. He has done goodly bit of threatening in his short day as head of a great nation, but he can- not afford to court the ill-will of France.
 The apology for the incidents caused by fervid Fascist on French soil was a manly act, done in gentlemanly way.
 Unfortunately the feeling that has been engendered between the people of the two nations will not down so very readily: and the spirit of careful scrutiny of Italian imperialism which has come to be a policy of Parisian diplomacy will not waver
 It was only recently that Italy was supposed to be willing to do some trading for the doubtful privilege of taking over the French mandate over Syria. It Is now per fectly safe to conclude no such trading will take place.
 The Fascist who are making anti French speeches should be curbed before they do more dam. age to their countrys foreign rela. tions.

COMMUNICATED
FOR ARMISTICE HOLIDAY
Dear Sir:-

Being an ex-World War veteran, think l should be allowed space in the editorial section of your paper to explain my personal opinon on Armistice Day, which is about here now, Nov. 11th as you know.
 First of all, thousands as well as put on the uniform at the first call of the nation for men to go to France. When we did that we were proclaimed heroes all, no other heroes could be found only the sol- dier boys. The people and country were proud of us. They made promises about what would be done for the boys who returned. They made promises for the mothers and wives who were left widows What ever came of those promises? Then Nov. 11th was going to be na- tional holiday and here We are again and no holiday coming. In my opinion and that of others, there will be no two minute silence. The people don't know enough to quit work at 11:o0 and keep silent for only two minutes in memory of

Grocers
 Teacher: Helene Hutchinson Class: Doris, Harold, Carolyn Ethel,
 and Mitchell.
 Class: "Oh. please, dear teacher. tell us about the grocer"
 Teacher: The grocer. my dears, Is the man who has the date print ed on the right-hand side of his statement so he can add it into the bill"
 Class: What does he do for a living?"
 Teacher: His speciality is waiting on people who came in after you did and giving them all little ser- mon on news of the day with foot notes which include the biographies of his friends and relatives" Class: He must be very wise man, dear teacher"
 Teacher: He is so wise that he can tell whether to sell you a good or bad melon merely by feeling" Class: By feeling the melon?"
 Teacher: No, by the way you're feeling" Class: What other points of skill has he?"
 Teacher: "He can wrap up two cans of tomatoes, a box Of matches. and bottle Of milk so the package looks as if 1t contained three scythes a bass drum and bridge lamp"
 Class: And does he know any thing else?"
 Teacher: "Plenty. For example, if you ask for a pound of cheese, he can cut unerrngly into the cheese and get exactly eight cents worth more than you asked for" Class: Tt must be a good busi- ness to be a grocer"
 Teacher: Its such good busi- ness that most grocers keep right on being grocers even after they've got enough money to retire."
 Class: If something that you buy at grocery is spoiled. will the grocer take it back?" Teacher: Gladly. Some grocers have been known to take back the same spoiled article as many as ten times"
 Glass: And does the grocer never get swindled?"
 Teacher: It is impossible to swindle a grocer"
 Class: Why"
 Teacher: Because he knows his vegetables"
 Class: We must run along now, teacher. We had nice time at your class"
 Teacher: Come again soon, and park your hipflasks at the door,"
