QUITE ! LOCAL STORY

Doines at many | local gathering are interesting: but sometimes the attendance is poor. Even during . heated political campaign many . local rally takes place with but . poor attendance. and most Of thoss on hand consisting of the faithful who obey the call as one of duty rather than q pleasurable willing ness.
 Many a meeting takes place in the City Hall: grave public questions arc discussed. But scarcely anyone ts there but those lured by duty or personal interest.
 The other day. however. saw the presentation Of congressional medal to Thomas A. Edison. The event took place in the old laboratory of the inventor at Orange. N. ,. Under ordinary circumstances this would have been . 'far-avay" event had it not been for the astonishing radio lookup which caused 1t to be d morsel for the firesides in milliona of American homes.
 The point is, right in New Britain. thousands of people listened to Pres ident Coolidge. Secretary Mellon. MT. Edison. and others taking part, and it required no unusual tmagtna- ton to see tho entire proceeding. More people by far heard this unique ceremony than ever see or hear the weighty events that take place in the city building. Where thousands of citizens all but see such | cere- mony 1t all but becomes . local story.
 In many respects Mir. Edison ia our greatest citizen. His name is known, honored and revered throughout the civilized world. He represents the highest flower oi American genius. Yet he has never been a money grubber; he has never placed the garnering Of money above the joy of\work for the sake ot achievement. Many of his most i'm. portant inventions he ''sold" for 2 song; others, particularly corpora tions, have made fortunes from marketing the products of his brain One hears no words of regret from this great man. however; if he had it to do over again he probably would act in the same manner. The lack of the millions that others ex- tracted from some of his inventions somehow does not detract from the glory and fame of this our greatest mechanical genius. This to the think. ing should mean something. It must indicate that we actually think more of unquestioned genius than we dc of money.

JEWS ID OBSERVE
 DAY OF A7ONEMEN7
Services Start Tomorrow Night
 in Both Local Syna6ogu@

Tom kippur. the Jewish day of atonement. will begin Sunday at sunset and will continue until sum- set on Monday. The day of atone- ment is the strictest holy day on the Jewish calendar and on this day the attendance at the synagogues for the services is large. It is the one day in the year that every one of the Jewish faith forsakes the pleasures and gaiety of life. Sins committed against man, however cannot be atoned for on this day according 10 the Jewish faith, as the right to for give each others sins is vested in each persons power.
 The services at the Tefcreth Is- rael synagogue on Elm street will begin at G:45 Sunday evening. The services for the senior adult mem- bers of the congregation will be held by Cantor Solomon Marwit and Rabbi Moses Hadas will deliver the sermon. Services for the young people will be conducted by s. s. Spector of Baltimore and the chll- dren's services will be conducted by Morris Gordon of New Haven.
 The entire day of celebration is given up to prayer and the forgiv- ing of sins as relative between man and God and the services are repl.te with readings of old poems and im- portant incidents in the history of Israel. During the day the commit tee on building of the new syna- gogue which is to stand on West Main street and Park place in the near future. will make its report on what has been done so far.
