is seriously considering cancelling

New Britain fire board came as
bombshell to town officials who had
no idea that such g. question nad
come up for discussion.

Cd today that he had no official

He remarked, however. that II the

either party desiring to cancel tine
agreement must give the other a
wears notice. The New Britain fire
board claims that this agreement
fayors the local town and does not
benefit the city Of New Britain.
According to Chairman James ).
Butler of the New Britain fire board,
the agitation for the cancelling OF
the contract has been started be-
cause of dissatisfaction over the nre
protection in New Britain. 1t Is
claihed that sections of New Britain
are left unprotected when apparatus
is sent to Berlin to answer a nre
alarm.
There has been considerable aglta-
ton in Berlin for the last few years
for the establishment of volunteer
fire department but it has met with
little success Prominent town OFF,

with the work of the New Britain

If Berlin loses the services OF the
New Britain department, it Will re-

Sea Roper's Ambition
to Settle NetU World

Americas first real-estate devel-
opment was promoted by Eric the
Red. Eric anticipated modern
sales methods by more than 800
years. He spent three summers
moving back and forth along the
west coast Of the land he had dis
covered, searching for pleasant dis
tricts to settle, for he had made up
his mind to found a colony. He
was thus not only the first Arctic
explorer, and the discoverer Of the
new western world. but also the
first Of that typical western product
the realtors. For the "Saga Of
Eric the Red" tells us that, In con-
nection with his plan to secure set
tiers, he hit upon the device OF
calling the place Green Land, s'con-
ceiving that people would all the
more desire to go there II 1t had q
fair name"
That winter Eric carried out q
publicity campaign SO successfully
that In the spring Of 986 twenty
five ships set sail with him for
Greenland. The colonists were
something between 400 and 100.
The numbers of the domestic ami
mails have never been estimated,

Shades of Difference
in Term Thoroughbred

When you say another woman
Is q thoroughbred you feel that you
have paid a compliment. What
exactly do you mean?
One ingenious writer once ex.
planned that real thoroughbred
individual has fine clear skin, fine
hair Of either light-brown, dark
brown, black, red or auburn hue, a
bright clear eye-either tall or
short but not excessively fat nor
lean, regular teeth, well-propor-
toned nose, large nostrils, we'll
curved jaws, full, red and moist
lips, well-rounded ears, smooth
or rich and full voice.
Probably your own notion Of a
thoroughbred has more to de with
temperament, manner and mental
traits than these purely physical
features, though undoubtedly there
are some physical characteristics
that you do consider essential to
the real thoroughbred.
Perhaps you feel that a thor
oughbred must, simply must. have
shapely hands-and that the wom-
an who has very stubby fingers
with nails considerably broader
than long cannot be thorough
bred. That notion goes along sat-
isfactorily until you happen to
meet a woman with short fingers
and very stubby nails who really
Is very much of Thoroughbred

MAN is DIRECTOR, NOT
GENERATOR OF POWER
Alta Sandberg

Automobiles, airplanes, tele-
phone, and power are four essen
tials of today and were the four
topics discussed by S. Sicily
of Portland, who with the assist
ance of lantern slides, rendered a
very interesting lecture Tuesday
morning.
Aeronautics is the one thing in
which Europe surpasses the United
States but they cling to bicycles
and small cars whereas we have
two cars to every person in the
United States, and we have seven
teen times as many telephones as
Europe. Such is the case of electric
companies. The consolidation of
these units in the United States is,
according to Mr.. Sicily, probably
due to the lack of artificial boun-
daries such as we find in Europe
where many countries can be cross
ed in couple of hours.
The main theme of the speech
was "Man is Director, Not Gener-
ator of Power" in the United
States. The disc-wheeled wheel
barrows of China, the ox-drawn
cart of Belgium, all require the
muscular labor of several men,
whereas in the United States, as a
result of well-directed power, one
man can operate a ten-furrow pillow
or five hundred pound tractor. As
a result of this extensive use of
power, we have increased produc-
ton, and enjoy lower prices and
higher wages.
