BERLIN AT ODDS WITH ITSELF

It has become evident that the residents of the wideflung com munity of Berlin are finding it in- creasingly difficult to agree upon some of the elementary needs of a growing town. The three horns of the dilemma are: Berlin East Ber- lin. and kensington
 Recently there was dispute about where a projected school should be constructed. Now there is disagreement as to where a fire house shall be built, if and when the town decides to dispense with the f,re- lighting aid of New Britain and go on it's own" in this respect.
 The first suggestion made seems to have been that the lire house should be constructed in Berlin. Immedi- ately word is heard from East Ber- lin and kensington that a firehouse in Berlin center would not do them much good.
 The three sections of Berlin. to our way of thinking, will have to agree to cooperate in better spirit if permanent progress is to be assured. Manifestly a firehouse cannot be constructed in each part of the town mot for while. at least: and if any at all is to be constructed there must be agreement predicated upon a willingness to agree.
 It seefns to us that. considerink | the speed of modern fire trucks. that the three borouehe Of Berlin will be l, fairly well protected no matter what site is chosen.

MAKING THE CITY PAY

It appears that the boy who when stepping from the sidewalk was in- jured by . motorcycle driven by . city policeman will receive no con- sideration from City Hall-if the city is not forced to pay through the medium of legal machinery. The claims committee is supposed to be hard boiled" which is another way of saying it will bulldoze anyone out of their just deserts if 1t can be done.
 In the case of Belvidere residents, however. the case was different. Here were a large number of voters who were aroused over the damage done by water which flooded their premises due to inadequate storm sewers. Had damage been done to an isolated individual only the city probably would have refused to pay; but being confronted with . bagful of notes was . different matter.
 Those having claims against . negligent city will get their money if there are enough at one time to make a political impression: but if not that, then there seems to be no recourse except through legal chan nels. Fortunately the courts are not hard boiled in such matters.

.stuEsIu9o lGAxAsEaExT


 The statement made by pr. Bsr- nard IlAinss Dsll, warden of St Ste. phen's College. an undergraduate college of Celumbts university at Annandale on Hudson. that "scientitic management breeds dis content aud revolution by subjectins man to machines for proftts," will sound logical to many of those who have studied its effects-
 Scientifc management means, in its most simple and usual application. the more thorough coupling of man to machines-usually fewer hands to more machines-a greater pro- duction due to this speeding up. and sometimes lowes- relative wages. Sooner or later the general discon- tent produced along with increased material products leads to more 4erl0uS 0lNuro4ncee.
 Where decreased buying power by the masses accompanies such ',scien- tific" excrescences the ultimate har- vest is . setback for industry gener- ally. In the long run industry can- not enjoy maximum prosperity when the massss of the population are deficient in the power to purchase it's productA
 Curioualy enough. this system is the apotheosis of the distinctly American system of increasing out put per worker accompanied by a proportionate increase in wages. or buying power This is the Ford sys- tenn. and the one adopted in various biz industries that can be regarded as setting the pace for others and the world. But even q cursory glance over the field must lead to the in. evitable conclusion that they are still in the minority. Mass produce ton. accompanied by~a proportion ate increase in the wages of the in- dividual worker. spells advance and increased prosperity; but mass pro- duction like most of the so.called scientific management experts prom ise and perform. with no increased wages and often resulting in de- creased returns. is a blight upon the advance of industry and probably, If generally followed out, can not do otherwise than lead to social diff culties.
 It is this system to which Dr. Bell referred; and which other high minded men, who think in terms Of the social and economic well-being Of the American people in the future as we'll as in the present, have just ly excoriated.

Hospital Ste Selection Victory for Local Legton

The fight to have the United Vet erans' hospital located near Hart ford is . signal victory for the Ed dy-Glover post. American Legion, the members of which were untir- ing in their efforts to have 1t near the largest American Legion post in the state.
 At the preliminary hearings in Washington. the state Legionnaires argued for the hospital to be locat. ed in the central part of the state. It was pointed out to the sub. com mittee in charge of A location, that New Britain had the largest Ameri- can Legion post in the state and would be in q position to visit the wounded veterans and cheer them up. After d stiff fight on the part of the Rhode Island Lekionnaires, 1t was decided to have the hospital within the radius of 19 miles Of Hartford.
 Then appeared split in the state Legion led by National Vice Com mander Edward White to have the hospital near New Haven 50 that the veterans could have the advan- taEe Of the Yale Medical school. New Haven county Legionnaires rallied to his aide which caused the Hartford county men untold anxiety. with the result that one of the strongest Hobbies in years appeared at the last session of the legislature. Senator Roy Wilcox. Represents. tives Rex DeI.acouer, Kenneth Cra- mer and Thure Bengtson were ap- preached by Chairman Harry Gins- burg of the legislative committee of the American Legion in Hartford county's plan to have the decision of the United States congress stand. Paige Seaton, state commander of the Legion interested himself, say ing that If Connecticut Legionnaires fought the hospital would be taken to Rhode Island. The arguments advanced, backed up by DeLacouer who was on the original committee that went to Washington and q member of the down state Legion, won out rapidly witnessing the dwindling of the White forces, and dominating with the signing of the original recommendation by Presi.

Enthusiasm Minus Facts Dtnns Chance of Airport

Enthusiasm for public im- provement is . splendid asset. Without enthusiasm to support 1t no project goes far toward the goal. But enthusiasm alone is of doubt full value.
 This is written for the beneht of citizens, old and young. who would like to see an airport constructed in this city. At . recent mating at which the proposition was dis cussed. advocates bubbled over with enthusiasm. They knew in their hearts, they said. that New Britain needed an airport. They said this over and over. But they had few facts to back up their assertions. Az a result. the meeting developed into pollyanna convention at which high spirits held sway
 The Observer is red hot for an airport although he is one of those one- foot on -the-G ground hiers. In or. der to compete with cities which have facilities for landing planes. this community must some day set aside and develop a held for that purpose. But first. facts must be brought to light which will prove the need. The situation must be studied. Investigators must learn to what uses held could be put and to what extent 1t would he used for commercial purposes. An analysia explaining the benefits to be de. rived should be prepared and pre- sented to the proper authorities. Several persons who attended the recent meeting expressed dtsap- pointment because they heard no facts to support the enthusiasm.
 It WAS unfortunate that the com mon council was not represented at the meeting by . larEer quota of its members. Only three who have seats in the law making body attended. Criticism of the ahsenteea has been heard frequently since then. Members who remained away will probably be the first to com- plain, when the airport projecta eventually reaches the council, thai they lack information on the sub ject.

FISH RACING GROWING AS
 A FAD May S.ipplant Baseball" says Judee Landis
By AnEus 6chaffe

By Angus Hchaffer
 When J. Whelp Grimalkin, the Sporting Millionaire. died last Win ter. he left every penny to charity. To his estransed son, Jack, he sar- castically bequeathed his kennel of Flying Fish. Never having won a single race. these fish were the laughing stock of sporting circles. Take 'em and eat 'em," read the will.
 The penniless youth considered the proposition with care. True. here were enough fish to feed him the rest of his life. but as his fath- CT bequeathed no caper sauce to go with them, Jack chose the only other alternative. He would train these doubtful fish to race and win! A consultation of scientists informed him that their sluggish ness was due to over-exposure to the sun when they flew. So Jack promptly had each fish fitted out with an awning! Thus sheltered from the earish heat. the flying fish regained their strength. Their recent winnings have made Jack twice az rich as his old man. Like race-horses. racing fish must be humored if you want them to win. D'Artagnan d'Murphy. own- CT of the fleetest pair of racing mackerel in all the world. keepa them in spirits with daily concer. programs. The mackerels' favorites are sousa's Band, the Victor hour, and Paul Whiteman.
 The first thing to do before bet ting on pair of fish is to ascertain beyond doubt that they are both of the same sex.
 Last year the Tandem Champion ship was won by fish jockey Zeke swirz who came in first on two male herring. Although the oppos- int team was really the favorite. swirz took advantage Of the fact that they were male and female and just before the race he stealth fly fed them love potion. Half way down the course they took to making eyes at one another. whils, they were thus dallyine. Mir. evirz sneaked over for . victory"

 If the city wsrs in the throes of To political campaign. opponsnts of Mayor Paonessa would no doubt ae- cuse him of trying to make political capital out of the resentment in many quarters against the 18th Amendment to the constitution and the volstead act.
 The writer has not read in the public prints . more severe ihdict- ment of enforced prohibition than that contained in the statement made this week by Mayor Paenesaa in which he pointed out his belief that conditions brought about by the 'drys" is productive of tho ma jor part of crimes committed in this country. He was unsparing in his condemnation. giving the public | document which contains meat for serious thought.
 Coming on the heels of the an- |nouncement that many Of New Brit aims most prominent men are inter- ested in the repeal of the prohibi- ton laws. it has greater force than if 1t were issued as an isolated ex. pression of opinion from | man in office.
 Prohibition is . will O the wisp. It h being enforced, 90 the country is told. but always in some locality far distant. Like 90 many patent medicine testimonials, it never seems to strike near home.
 Pronunciamentos are iasued fre- quently from official circles explain ing that the law ii being pushed 10 the hilt but the pushers appear 70 become fatisued and the pushing ceases. The majority of states have cooperative enforcement laws but slight effort is made to enforce them. Came the Jones law which. according to enthusiastic legal bi- ologists. had teeth in it. The result was | temporary increase in the price of liquors in large cities. A few bootlegsers have been sentenced to prison but the biz fellows con- tinue to laugh and count their prof it's
 Leaks along the coastlines and the Canadian border make the coun- try look like | sieve. The border patrol is unable to cope with the situation because of insufficient numbers. The coast guard is in . similar predicanient. A hood of booze. good and bad. is pouring over the rim of the country.
 Prohibition is almost. certain to be an important issue In the next political campaign. Enforcement or repeal will no doubt appear in the platforms although the enforcement plank is usually 70 disguised that no direct reference is made to pro- hibition. With sanctimonious faces the platform committee usually goes through the motions of deplorins the nationwide disrespect for law and pledges the party to upholdins the statutes.
 It is not. unlikely that the demo- cratic party will have courage enough to declare for the repeal of the law which, Mayor Paonessa said, cannot be enforced. If that Dc the case it is possible that the name of New Britain's chief executive will appear on the state ticket. His being in the field first would give him . certain amount of prestige which the leaders may recognize.
