For many years this newspaper has held out the municipal advan- | tagC3 of possessing such an audi torium as is under construction at | the enlarged high school. If it is necessary to pat ourselves on the i back. We show no hesitancy in do- ing so; and We did not finch from 1 the issue when an issue was made of the present structure.
 Cities considerably emaller than NeV Britain had gone through the { same turmoil, and where foresight 1 triufnphed there were no regrets at f possessing a municipal gathering place Of sufficient proportions to be i of maximum public service. 1 In Hartford the Bushnell Mem- orial building is under construction. 1 It will possess one of the finest audi ! toriums in New England. It is true, ] the structure is a gift to the city: but regardless of how it is secured, the need was there and was rccoG- l nized.
 Our new high school auditorium is little enough compared with the
 Bushnell auditorium-to-be in Hart ford; but it is something, and it will be adequate for years to come. The
 local auditorium at least will make it possible for citizens of this city
 10 point with satisfaction to public
 utility that is their own for any lIrgc gathering of sufficient scope
 to use it. And in the future, when
 some proud Hartfordite emits 8
 boast about it's auditorium we will
 not be required to confess that we
 have done nothing at all in this line
 We, too, will be able to boast jus
 little.
 Let no one worry about the utilit!
 Of the auditorium when it is com
 pleted. Tn addition to it's logitimat
 use for school assemblies, it's pres
 cncc vii stimulate it's use as q pub
 lie gathering place.

Affairs requiring a large gather ing place will increase in the city rather than diminish. The require ments of this year or next year, in deed win be no criterion for the future. As the city continues to ad- vance and grow it will also advance and grow in the expectations of those things which demand on occa- sion a large auditorium. Twenty years from now citizens will look back wit satisfaction upon the fore sight that was exhibited in New Britain in the construction of the high school auditorium.

THE HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM

Now that it has come about that the movie theaters can open their Sunday shows at p, m, on Sundays, what will become of the concert business in this city? The concert managers heretofore have had the privilege of renting a movie palace on such sunday afternoons when they were ready to put on feast Of harmony. The concerts could be- gin as late as or 3;30 p. m. on Sunday and be over long before the time the regular theatrical perform anccs began. Unless concerts can be started in this city no later than 2 D. m. the use of theaters for such performances is scarcely possible un- less the concert managers are pre- l pared 10 "buy out" the house something that is out of the question. 1 Concerts are not lucrative enough to permit those conducting them to ] pay the sum necessary to purchase filled seats in the thcatcrs.

 begin the feasts of song or instru- mental music at the earlier hour. But there is a lot of doubt about 1t, Too many of the clientele, it is said

 If there has been some grumbling about constructing such an audi torium in connection with the high school it should cvapOrate. Without it the city would be in q backward plight.

PETER MAN IS BARRED FROM BEING
 CITIZEN OF U. s

An echo of World War animosi- ties resounded in the Ketchikan court house today when a Peters burg man found that he is for ever barred by Act of Congress from becoming a citizen of the United States.
 The man came from Petersburg to Ketchikan to ask the United States Attorneys office if they could help him to become a citizen. He was one of those who had taken out his first papers but turned them in during the war to escape the draft.
 The Petersburg resident was in- formed by Walter King, Assistant United States Attorney, that an act passed by Congress in 1918 pre- vents him from becoming citizen. Although he has lived in the Ter ritory more than 10 years, if ever he visits Canada or and other for eign country, the immigration au thorities can prevent his return to his home in Alaska, it was pointed ut.-(Ketchikan Chroh- icle.)
