A Few Comments on Dedication
 Plans

Editor, New Britain Herald.
 Dear Sir
 As citizen. interested n the success of the World War Memorial dedication program, am writing to call attention to a matter under dis cussion which. if carried out as now contemplated will, in my opinion, be q serious mistake.
 This is the proposal that the Wa ter be drawn from the Wadins pool on the day of the exercises and that seats be placed therein l am fully aware that this has not been detl- n,tely decided by the ground ar ranstm ents committee. but I wish to enter my voice in protest before such vote is taken,
 It must be apparent to anyone who has viewed the memorial in its present state. incomplete as it now is. that the wading pool is a very | important adjunct to the memorial group, l have been in the park sev. eral evenings when the reflection of the memorial is visible n the lake and l assure it is a beautiful picture. the effect of which should not be destroyed by drawing off the water. The architect, in his des. scripton of the memorial laid great stress upon the effect of the pool Also. if seats are to be placed in the pool. it is more than likely to be an obstruction to the view obtained by those who come along after tn. seats are filled. The grassy slope. on all sides will afford adequate seating arrangements and more sat. lsfactorily so, I believe.
 There is another thing to be con sidered. namely. the fountain in the pool, which is the gift of Mir Charles r. Smith. When the stream
