AIRPORT MANAGEMENT
REQUIRES HIGH ABILITY

Says Basic knowledge of Avia-
ton Also Is Need.

A high order of executive ability, plus
a basic knowledge of aviation, is neceS-
sary for proper airport management.
says bulletin by the Department of
Commerce.
There is no consideration more vital
than safety" the bulletin said in dis
cussing municipal airports, land there
is no better guaranty of safety than
good management. Federal regulations,
local field rules and local ordinances
must be enforced so that a maximum
OF safety can be expected by those fly
ing and by the ground public at and in
the vicinity of the airport.
THE city has an investment which
must be protected. There are revenues.
such as hangar rentals, landing fees.
concession rentals. etc, to be collected.
There are also intangible returns from
municipal airport, and the taxpayers
who have made the airport possible have
a right to expect these"

The most noticeable contrast between
the two modes of transportation, the
statement points out, is in maintenance
and insurance costs. This, however, it
is explained is due to the fact that an
automobile accident usually involves
but relatively small repair bills, while
in most airplane crashes the plane Is
a total loss, which also explains the
high rate for planes compared with
automobile insurance.

There now, don't you wish that you had guessed Sigfried Rifkin, of the ever popular Paramount Milli- nery Go. MT. Rifkin's silhouette ran in THE NEWSPAPER-THE NEW BRITAIN HERALD-last evening and the editor warned you, if you knew him, to send in your letter, saying that the hintlets were far from being complete. It was like handing the dollar to you on a si.- yer platter. The same trick is going to be tried this evening, 10 give New Britain's silhouettedom another golden opportunity to bloom forth with the dollar. Many people guessed Mir. Rifkin and made a mental note. the editor knows, for he has heard all the comments which came into this office right up until o'clock when the contest closes for the day. Speaking of millinery, here's something to put under your hat, girls. It's simply this. you could have sent in such

Rifkin would have been feel ing so fine about it, he would have given you a more than a rare bar gain, However, don't cry over split milk. It's really nobodys fault. The editor doesn't like to lecture this way in a quasi public fashion. but if you don't tell anybody you knew him, nobody will be the wiser and you'll save yourself much good natured joshing. Mental effort is not being exercised as to just what to do with the. dollar.

LOCK SHOP POND
 FENCE REJECTED
Public Works Board Turns Down Barrier to Drowning

Whether protecting fence is placed between the Lock Shop pond and the New Haven railroad tracks is no affair of the common council or the board of public works, members of the latter group were informed last night when they met to consider among other matters, Councilman Joseph Mlynarskis resolution to or der such protection installed.
 President George T. Kimball of the American Hardware Corporation advised the board. through City En- gneer Philip A. Merriam. that the two properties concerned are privately owned and that the city has no juris- diction over them insofar as fencing is concerned. The commissioners agreed that nothing can be done and voted so to report to the council.
 Councilman Mlynarski presented his resolution to the common coun- cil after the last drowning at the Lock Shop pond. The fifth ward council member expressed belief there would be no further droWn- llSS IL llllS SdlbS WdS llleuS'
 Complain of Floods
 Last nights meeting received and heard a delegation of citizens living in the locality of Corbin and Albany avenues, who complained of storm water conditions at this intersection. Spokesmen said every storm is fol- lowed by deep accumulat1ons or water which the small mains are un- able to carry off. The commission as- sured the delegation that inspection will be made and remedial measures taken.
 A communication was received from Carl s. Neumann, president Of the Union Manufacturing Co.,, ex- pressing his appreciation of prompt information given him by Clerk Thomas r. McGrath when he made inquiry as to a public work Tt IS certainly gratifying to have such prompt action by the city govern- ment," MT. Neumann wrote.
 Construction of sewers in Persh- ing avenue, Queen street and Ward street, was approved, and sewer job on Lawlor street extension was held up because of conflict in maps.
 The street and grade lines on Seneca street were approved and that street accepted. Petitions for acceptance of Harding street, and for sewers in Wilma street, were held over for inspection.
 Permission was voted for installa- ton of electric signs at 240 Hartford avenue and at 547 Main street.
 Approval was given for a gasoline filling station on the Doerr property at 17 Spring street, provided curbs are installed as directed by the board. 7
 Pending the filing of sketches for a gasoline filling station at 99 Myrtle street, no action was taken.
 By vote of the board, curbs and sidewalks must be placed in Brigh- ton street by October 1.

THANKS FOR THE DOLLAR

Herewith published in - THt' NEWSPAPER-THE NEW BRIT
 AIN HERALD-is the silhouette Of
 man we all should know. He's
 been around town for some 3S years now, and is in a business sell
 ing a very popular brand of some thing which is necessary and nice, especially in the winter time. The advertisements of his concern ap- pear frequently in THE NEWS PAPER - THE NEW BRITAIN HERALD-and results, backed up by guaranteed circulation of over 15,O00 printed and distributed daily. take care of the fact they are really read. Today's hintlets are going to be along the lines of kind of ad- vertising ourselves not that wa have to, but to put over the idea that If you can recognize him from the silhouette. for goodness sakes write in about him. It is a recog- nized fact that when the tips arc too broad. folks get discouraged by saying to themselves there will be too many gucsses, so I won't try" That spirit should be discouraged and not entertained a moment, for nothing venture nothing have, ap- plies to this dandy little feature as well as affairs in the work-a- day world. Now, just ask the likeness of the silhouette how, much of re. sponse he gets to his ad in the Herald, and he'll tell you that il works out very well for him. He'll also tell you that Herald advertis- ing and good will, so hand in hand. New Britain people have learned for many years that it pays to ad- rertise in newspaper with an Audit Bureau of Circulation menu bership, and we'll it might, for cir culation and results are the good business playmates for which there can be no substitute. It's as plain as the ink on the silhouette As there are very few hintlets in to- nights write-up. you better send III your guess. If the editor is al lowed to guess (based. of course, on past observation) there will be very few answers and the fewer the bet ter for you. Who is he?
