CIVIC CLUBS BAN | 0N PR0PA PAGANDlSTS
Organizations Nay Bar Speakers
 With Sdfsh Motives

1 The day of the so-called Five
 minute speaker" with an axe to
 grind, seems to be doomed so far as members of the Civic clubs in
 New Britain are concerned. Ever
 since the clubs have been formed,
 especially those which meet at noon
 they have been considered fertile
 fields by men and women who wish
 to advertise their pet projects for
 spreading propaganda.
 Speakers to local institutions have
 been given the privilege of the floor
 for five minutes many times. This custom g'@dua)ly extended to a
 point where occasionally an out of 1 town representative asked and some i times was granted the same privi- lege.
 l Rules were formulated to handle these cases. but were very mild. Practically every club now fortids the sale Of tickets for any project other than its own, during a meet ing. Advertising and sales talks are prohibited with 8 possible excep- ton m favor of advertising talks when the feature is merely incident al and is overshadowed by educa- | tional features.
 The presence of two men in the city at one time, both of whom ap- preached the clubs and were speak CTS at the same meeting. each man obviously for the purpose of attract ing attention to the method ssere- by he earned his ow,~ living. has aroused much unofficial comment among the mepbers of the clubs The comment has amounted in some cases to criticism and at least on. speaker in an educational movcmen fostered by local organization. was turned down this week because of telephone calls and personal visits 10 the club officers criticising for mer courtesies of this kind.
 The general tendency is toward an increase Of this condition" said Rev. William H. Anderson. prest- dent of the Rotary club today. El- mer W. Pape. president of the Xii wanls club and George A. Quigley. president, and James F.. O'Brien, secretary of the Lions club have been approached by their members and asked that some definite policy be formulated
 AS a result the club presidents have docketed the subject for dis russlon at meetings of .heir respec- tive boards. Next Tuesday evening the Lions club directors will dis cuss the subject. The kiwanis club will take up the same matter at a directors meeting November S, and ill November the Rotary directors will take it up. \
 The universal feeling seems to be that a compromise ruling will be adopted by all clubs. requiring speakers first to obtain permission from the directors before getting the courtesy of the floor.

Educational Film Feature Of 1oday's Meeting

Pegasus. the flying horse in mythology. was compared to the maximum airplane speed of 246 miles an hour.
 The picture showed the old fash toned printing office where typ. was set at case, and in compuris contrasted this with the modern typesetting machinery and high 'speed presses. The film was made by the Norton Grinding Co. of Wor- cester Mass, and showed the ex- treme precision in grinding bear ings and other delicate mechanism to the ten-thousandths of an inch
 The speed at which parts go through an automobile factory pro- >oked much comment.
 Financial Less
