He prefaced his talk with the statement that the best title for the address might be ''The Adventures of a New Britain Boy in Search of Success" Whether 1t has been achieved or not depends upon ones definition of success, he mid. "If 1t means a fair measure of financial accumulation and a cer- tain independence which comes from . feeling that one has something to sell, with good health and a thor ough enjoyment of life. then l be- heve l might fairly claim Q certain amount of success" he said. Let me say, however, that feel that the enjoyment of life is the greatest Of all. If one can live every moment, finding new delights. new resources establishing new contacts and if possible helping his fellow men. then one certainly has not lived il vain."
 Life In New Britain
 Continuing, he said: "On my twelfth birthday I left New Britain for Chicago. My remembrance of life in this city before then are many. The reservoir on the hill,

Protest Informal
The traction company officials
and the officials of the bus company
yesterday conferred with the COM
mission, made an informal protest
against the jltney service, and served
notice on the commission that the
traction companies and bus company
expect the commission to protect
them against the jitney service.
William f. Ham, president of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company. spokesman for the trac-
ton group, said that they do not
feel it is encumbent on the traction
companies to attempt to stop the
operation of the cheap rush-hour
taxicab service
Harry G. Davis, manager OF the
Diamond organization, today charged
that threats emanating from the
offices Of the Public Utilities Com
mission that some of our drivers
might be arrested should they at,
tempt to operate at 10 cents per
person caused hundreds Of persons
to shun us"
Davis issued a statement express
ing "the gratitude of the Diamond
cab drivers for the cordial recep-
ton given the new service by the
public.
University Men, He Says
1--WE are grateful for the words Of
encouragement from many of those
who used our service" Davis added,
They mean much TO our members.
practically all Of whom own their
cabs and many Of whom are young
university men who operate cabs
to pay for their aducation."
Davis said that many persons
failed to use the cheap service be-
cause they did not know that
cab marked 10 cents and naming
it's destination could be hailed in
any street. They can be hailed
between 8 and 9 o'clock each morn
ing the same as during any other
hour"
Davis cIings to his original view
that the commission has no juris-
dictiOn over the taXicabs. He has
refused to make formal application
for permission to operate the cheap
service and promises that it will
continue with at least 100 cabs in
service each morning from 8 o'clock
until. o'clock.
