East Main street is cut through.
Turning down East Main and up
Elm, We come to Smalley park-or
Paradise park. as the name still per-
sists. Here is the site of the first
church in New Britain. which was
set up when the town was very. very
young but which drew as many
worshippers as church does today.
On up Stanley street We come TO
North End park. Passing over the
Hawley memorial bridge. we note a
sign limiting the speed of cars in
the park to Is miles an hour This
warning is needless After dark the
speed limit. by common custom. is

Returning to the center. we 60
out West Main street and into Wal
nut Hill park, passing through the
remains Of the temporary war me-
mortal, we scale the scale and look
at the derrick being used to erect
the new one. We also make funny
cracks about drowning In the wad-
ing pond and then look out over the
city to Hartford, where the dome of
The state capitol reminds us that
there are speed laws to observe on
our travels.

Returning once more to the Gen.
ter, we again set out, this time In a
southerly direction. splitting flatiron
corners alternately until we come to
the high school. This Is the build

out the ineligible basketball teams.
Passing this one the right we go
down South Main street, lodging the
telephone poles in the middle of the
new pavement, until we come to

Spanish War monument. Driving
through the park. we come out at
the western entrance and pass north,
viewing our final sight for the week.
This may not seem worth seeing. but
| if the houses continue to build up as
fast as they are now, the place will
soon be a memory, so you had better
look it over while you can. 1t is
the Bassett street dump.
Come to think Of it. we forgot 10

is nearly month since we started
this series Of informative articles on
camping How did you ever live
through it-you look starved. We're
awfully sorry and We wouldn't have
had it happen for worlds but You
see it was o'clock when We started
and we hit a bad detour and had
tire trouble and got held up at the
one way stretch for about quarter
Of an hour SO after all, you can't
really blame us can you?
We are submitting a couple of
really swell recipes and we hope
you'll enjoy them and tell us how
they tasted We've been curious
about them for a long time.
Wigwam Stew: This delicacy
handed down from the Cliff Dwell
lers, goes awfully good when mixed
with vermouth. Take two eggs and
a strip of lean bacon. Allow to sim
mer and skim off the top. Simmer
twenty minutes more and skim off
the bottom. Open can of peaches
and eat with spoon. Allow stew to
simmer some more. Now add gran
ulated sugar and an old section of
rubber tubing. Skim off the mid
die and serve on rye bread. Aren't
you glad you thought of the
peaches?
Huntsman Pie: Two quail roasted
face to face. Granish with strips of
milkweed and allow to cool slowly.
Now stuff birds with brass filings
turn gently. When the brass melts,
douse in vinegar and apple cider.
Eat and die in painful agony.
Indian Soup: Buy a can Of soup.
Allow to heat gently while emitting
whoops and saying Ugh" and
"Wah" and smoking Indian tobac-
co. Stick feather in hair and sit
on ground cross legged. You sure
make one hell of a looking Indian,
if you ask us.
Boone Gravy: Kill eight large elk.
Remove any false teeth found and
fry in deep fat Allow liquor to
settle six hours, keeping temperature
at about 43 degrees Centrigrade.
Garnish with endives, wheetle weed
or orange marmalade and abandon
ye all hope.
Notes: Porterhouse steak. when
served with shoe string potatoes and
green peas makes a charming little
snack for occasions when the camp
is visited by King Alphonse or Cap
tain Lindbergh.
| Look at the moss on the north
side of the pine trees To the front
lies north while all around you are
grouped the other directions in the
regular order. OF interest to sports
men lost in the woods.
IMPORTANT! In case Of fire,
walk. DO NOT RUN. to the near
est exit. The Adirondack mountains
can be cleared Of its full capacity
in quite a short while, no fooling.
| Boil all water used for drinking
purposes This cannot be made too
| emphatic. If you have no boiler,
roast the water over a bed Of hot
Goals.
| Snozzle birds make excellent eat
ing if caught in November or De-
cember. Simply seat yourself in a
