WHAT OTHERS THINK Of
A MAN MUST LIVE

Two of Americas best known short
story writer's, contributors to the
Saturday Evening Post and Golfers,
paid a visit to the Paramount Long
Island studio during the filming of
Richard Dix's new picture, "a Man
Must Live" and expressed themselves
in enthusiastic terms about the pro-
duction which they viewed in rough
form.
The first, William Amin Wolff,
said, 81 am especially interested in
the fine way the story values are
kept in the picture. The punch of
the original story is maintained
throughout and l got a great kick
out of Dix. I think he does great
work. It is a fine picture.
The other, William McHarg, had
this to say about "a Man Must Live"
1T is peach Of picture and has
some of the greatest scenes I ever
saw on the screen: The picture is
superb all the way through"
"A Man Must Live" which will be
shown at the Liberty Theatre tomor-
row, is sure a humdinger. Remem-

Want new SYSTEM
FOR FIRE ALARMS
Many Residents Believe Present
Policy Is Not Sound

Prey Faces Three More Suits Against
Restaurant - Auxiliary to Meet

Old shaw Property Sold.-Items.

Following on the heels of what
has thus far been one Of the most
disastrous seasons of the towns
history in regard to fire damage,
considerable agitation is afoot today
for the installation of some new sys-
tenn of call for the New Britain lire
apparatus IN case of fire.
Until some definite action Is COM
rleted by the committee OF the
American Legion now taking up the
possibility of the installation OF a
local department, it is thought ny
al, BerIinites interviewed today that
,he town officials should take some
stem towards the adoption OF
more efficient call system than IS
now in force.
At present it is necessary for To-
ca1 residents to get In touch with
town official or a member or one
OF the three fire districts before the
New Britain department can De
summoned. The fact that there are
several persons eligible to summon
the department is overshadowcd by
the fact that a complete list OF those
eligible is not generally known ana
The majority OF the calls sent III
reach either the first sclectman OF
the town clerk. Both of those IN
djviduals have been as efficient as
the system allows.
Tho whole system, whereby Der
Nnites are not permitted to cal' inc
fire department direct, was estap-
lished to prevent false alarms as a
charge OF $50 Is added to the cost
OF the department upon the occa-
sion of each call. 1t is pointed ON
nv those in favor of n new system
that a mistake in calling can he
made as easily by a town Official
who has been called to summon the
New Britain department as by 8
resident An example or THIS 1ac'
occurred when the New Britain de-
partment recently answered cal
10 a Worthington ridge home which
turned out to be a. false alarm, al
though the call was made both 10y
the home owner and the town clerf

Both sides Of the question on

ask that a new call system be in
auguratcd No blame Is placed Of
town officials for inefficiency as the
have responded as quickly as tn
present system permits. Promoter
of the idea also point out that di

TO be twisted in the many telephon
calls necessary for the summonln
of the trucks whereas II the call wa
