 In Worcester. Mass, there Is q large musical festival every year. It enlists nationwide attention among musical people. It so happens that Worcester is the home of the largest number of persons of Swedish eX- traction in New England. New Eng land gets much credit for having such a festival: but the fact the city is q Swedish center of culture has much to do with it.
 The same is true on a smaller scale in New Britain. Our Swedish citizens" are sons of art, and prac- ice it without stint. They are en- terprising and recognize promis- ing idea when they see it. The speed with which they took up the scheme which worked so well in Spring field-merely substituting q piano for an organ-proves they have the old Morse spirit of adventure still in the blood.

UNINfPAIRED WATER SJpPLY NEEDED

Insuring an adequate water sup ply, not only for the present. put for years in the future, is the prime business of municipal water depart ments. Everywhere one reads ot conflicting interests. As the cities grow they require larger supplles' and the watersheds, relatively speaking, are constantly growing more limited compared with the needs of the large centers of popu- lation. It is not surprising, there fore. that the interests of New Brit ain and Hartford clash over the possibility Of utilizing the water pos abilities of Bunnell Brook, in the vicinity of Burlington.
 The region naturally falls into the water shed area of New Brit- ain. This city has been on the ground early and has secured rights which belong to it irrespective Of what Hartford may term delay Tn taking advantage of it's opportuni- lies. If the water commissioners in the past have been more alert than those of Hartford. that is the lat ter's loss. If New Britain has not made use of it's valued rights in the region that is no concern of Hart ford. New Britain was first on the ground, pre-empted the rights. and in due course will use the water when needed.
 Hartford may need the water earlier than New Britain. That is not the fault of this city. The logi- cal move for Hartford is to look elsewhere for it's needed supply; to build up a plan, like New Britain did. anticipating the requirements for years to come. The type Of municipal householding needed to bring this about may be foreign to the lackadaisical policy characteris- tic in Hartford, but whatever loss es are incurred thereby should be borne by the city which has failed to see the need of the future and has failed to act, not the city which years ago mapped out it's water sup ply plan and is closely adhering to it's strategy.
 New Britain's representatives in the General Assembly can bo relied upon 10 keep watchful eyes upon the designs of Hartford in this par ticular. It is to be hoped the L.egis- lature is not intent upon penalizinG foresight or rewarding hindsight.
