The Strand, Plainville's new Won
der theater, will be opened to the
public on Friday night, February 20.
This event has been long awaited by
the townspeople, who were at first
skeptical of the elaborate plans and
speedy construction program map
ped out by the lessor of the play
house. Now that the theater is
nearing completion the residents OF
Plainville are expressing unqualified
admiration for the aggressiveness
with which the plan was pushed
and the quickness of the buildings
erection.
The theater well merits the enthu-
siasm which is being manifested over
its approaching opening. The decor
atoms are far beyond all eXpecta-
lions and are fully on 4 par with
those of any of the leading theaters
in the state. While elaborate and

IF you feel tired, hungry, "hdgety,"
L hours before lunch, don't jump
to the conclusion of poor health.
Thousands have unenergetic morn
ings because they start the day with
wrong breakfasts.
To feel right, you must have a
well-balanced, complete breakfast
ration. At most other meals-lunch
and dinner-you get it. But break
fast is hurried meal, often badly
chosen.
Thus Quaker Oats, containing
169o protein, foods great tissue

energy element, plus alI-important
vitamines and the bulk" that makes
laxatives seldom needed, is the die
tetic urge of the world today.
Don't deny yourself the natural
stimulation this rich food offers you.
Get Quaker Oats today. Grocers
have two kinds: Quick Quaker,

In the following article, written ex-

Mcpherson tells of her reactions
after a tour of New York and its
night clubs.)

New York, Feb. 81 (UP)-I am
back in New York city again, back
in a city l know as we'll as anyone
in America, for in the past I have
spent much time here. Everyone
asks me:
rs New York a very wicked
city,"
The answer is. yes and no."
She Has To Laugh.
1t is wicked. all right-just as
wicked as Paris, 1 suppose, or any
other city known for its badness.
But truthfully, l am inclined to
laugh just a little bit at New York
ers, as it seems to me they rather
pride themselves, like naughty boys,
on how tough they are.
II like New York very much and
always will. It is a magnificent city
a city of industry, culture, art and
even deep and true religion. Tho
facts of the case are that New York,
in proportion to its population, do
not believe is any more wicked
than the average city-not at all.
Find What They Seek.
1t is just that 1t is great, huge
gathering Of people where the so
called bright lights and ccnters of
evil are much larger and more bril-
liant than they naturally would be
in small city. Also, people come
here looking for sin and vice and,
looking for it, they find it. Thus it
becomes we'll advertised and New
York gains the name of wicked city
and a great proportion of its popu-
lation laughs up its sleeve and says:
isn't it cute. Everybody thinks
we are wicked"
Not Many Are Wicked.
But there are not very many wick
cd people here. Underneath they
have hearts of gold; and if those
hearts were ever touched by the call
of the old time gospel and the
story Of Jesus love, their posscssors
would become true Christian work
ers and not only deliver telling blows
FOR the Lord but would find untold
happiness and spiritual comfort for
themselves.
The question have been asked Is
whether New Workers strive after
gold more than they do in other
cities; smaller cities.
l do not think they do, compare
lively speaking. or course, you
must remember that when I speak
Of New York it is always compare
lively.
Not A Gold-Mad City.
You have The richest men here;
nut why not? It is the center Of
capital and money. They do not
strive after their millions any hard
CT than Il small merchant strives
for a few dollars. Taking New York
rs a whole. I would not say it is a
gold mad city at all. It's gold seek
ers are just better known than those
of other cities.
Then there is the matter of at
mosphere and climatic conditions in
New York which l have been told
induces strong vitality which in turn
leads to excuses of various kinds.
That is undoubtedly true in this
way:
New York is a vital city Its life,
energy and movement are all vital

A party Of twenty gentlemen, by
invitation, were entertained by Mr..
l.. ]. North, at his residence in
Stanley Quarter on Monday evening.
It was one of THE best" for years,
and now for a revival of we olden
times"
The large elm that formerly stood
in DR.. Coming's yard, has been
taken down, as it was found to be
dying since the building of the sew
er. We think the appearance of the
Dr.'s residence is improved by the
change.
Sleigh ride parties do not appear
to be influenced by the severe cold.
A large party from Southington
visited the Strickland House We'd
nesday evening and had a fine time
generally. Splendid supper, ETC., so
they report
to assume lofty proportions, and ef-
forts will be made to show the best
one produced. If some bad boy
should place good sized (poke)
bonnet on the summit thereof, the
berg might be mistaken in the night
for a spook. But the bad boys have
mostly grown up now and wouldn't
do such naughty things.
The masquerade and fancy dress
ball to be given by the New Britain
Turner Society, soon, promises to be
one of the best of the season. Good
music and large party will be in
attendance. This society never falls
of giving a satisfactory entertain
ment and all who go will be amply
repaid. Tickets may be had at SCOTS
news room and of members of the
Turner Society.
The bean bake, etc, given by the
Stanley Post, G. A. A.. last Wednes.
day evening, was a great success.
About one hundred and fifty vet
Grams were present. Baked beans
of a quality to make one cry-for
more, tip top coffee. etc, were pro-
vided in great abundance, and sew
eral pans Of beans were left, which
will be presented to the worthy poor
of the Post. A genuine army smoke,
story telling and songs closed the
festivities. Several veterans from
Southington were present.

New York newspapers can be prob

Oh. These Night Clubs.
I have visited several night clubs
here and the memory of them
makes me sad. I can see. each time
I close my eyes, the pitiful chasing
and hurying after joy which those
butterflies exhibited, They are on
the wrong path and will find moth
ing but destruction, hopelcssness
and sorrow. If they could only give
their hearts to Jesus and spend their
lives in His work the cold. hard
light would fade from their eyes and
true joy, happiness and salvation
would be theirs.
On, If they only knew what they
are missing they surely would not
let another day pass without falling
on their kness and giving themselves
to Christ. The only giver of true
happiness and peace.
