ment I rode into Maben with one
of the Storekeepers who had locked
up his business when he heard
about the landing of the plane.

While waiting for the propeller

flight and announced that I was
ready to carry passengers when it
was not raining too hard.
The Mississippians who were so
anxious to fly when the propeller
was broken Immediately started 6

Each and every one was quite
willing to let someone else be first,
and it required psychology, di-
plomacy and ridicule before the
first passenger climbed into the
cockpit.
I TAXED over to the far corner Of
the field and instructed my passen-
ger how to hold the throttle back
to keep the ship from taking off,
and lifted the tail around in order
to gain every available foot of space
for the take-off.

tenn in City.

Proposal to institute a savings
system in all public schools of the

encouraged to bring their dimes,
nickels and pennies to school for
deposit in their favorite banks, the

Several local banks have eX-
pressed I'll nselves in favor of the
system, Nelson says. He stressed the
Importance of thrift education

from the first impression it gives one". However. I was due to be deceived. Nevertheless. my concep- ton of tho city received another blow when I saw the railroad cut Main street in twain. Could . really progressive town tolerate such hindrance to its business and expansion. Such was the nature of my next question. As yet it has not been answered.
 Among the incidents that created favorable impressions. l can cite the cleanliness of your streets. your school system. the obedience of the New Britainites to law and the po- liteness of the people in New Britain.
 noted with pleasure that your public schools compared favorably with our city schools both in cur riculum and in buildings. also saw the Normal school. a building that in itself is a monument to the educational system of New Britain.
 It was with amazement that I noticed the peoples obedience to the traffic law. I observed that while the traffic light on Main street said Co" not a person attempted to cross the street. Imagine such a situation on Fifth avenue, New York.
New Britain herald., 1928-01-20

l thought the days of chivairy had passed. However. observed in two incidents. that the spirit resides in New Britain. While walking on West Main street, saw an elderly gray-haired woman alighting from the car. dragging an apparently heavy valise after her. At the same time. a young man and a young woman were coming down street. The youth seeing the elderly woman struggling with her burder. politely stepped up and carried the valise for her. In fact. he saw her home. I have never seen anything like it.
 In another instance an elderly lady also played the leading role. This time I saw young fellow, very snappily dressed, driving a gleaming Packard roadster. He saw . little old woman carrying a heavily laden wash basket. Drawing up to the curb. he politely took the basket from the woman and placed 1t on the back of the car. He then asked the woman to step inside the car and perhaps carried her to her dis tination. Such little acts endear | place to stranger. They show him that people aren't selfish every- where. That there still exists place where the Boy Scout rule Is followed. New Britain. I take my
