.SEEK SHORTER
SCHOOL DRILL

All because numerous boys give
their military drill as an excuse
in explaining why they are late
arriving home for their evening
meal. school officials TODAY are seak.
ing plan to shorten the drill
period.
Some method of avoiding trim
ming the drill period is being sought
by the powers that be for fear that
with less time to train the students
it will be impossible to have ex-
tended order and other spectacular
formations included in the annual
competitive drill.
The situation dates back to the
receipt during the last school year
of numerous complaints from parents
who reported their sons were late
for dinner because they had to drill.
The school officials pointed out to
the parents that the drill period lasts
only an hour and half and argued
the cadets should have ample time to
reach their homes for the earliest
meals. Nevertheless. the complaints
continued.
The matter will be discussed at
conference soon between Stephen E
kramer, first assistant superin
tendent of schools. and Col. Wallace
NJ. Cragie. United States Army mill
tary Instructor of the cadet corps.

SLIDING DOWN A GLACIER

Much as the average small boy likes to slide down . banister or, in winter. down hill on a sled, there is something about slidins down . glacier along q mountain side that only appeals to one out Of a million. Perhaps the boy who slid down the icy slope of the Mount Hood glacier in Oregon has had enough sliding to last him lifetime.
 But what specially attracts atten- ton in this item is that the boy was severely burned in sliding down the ice. Indeed. he could have been burned no more severely had he sat on hot stove. Thus friction, coup led with sravitation. is q terrible monster even on ice.
 We do not remember ever having read of such happening. To slide along precipitous ice for approxi- mately half mile offers no induce ment to the thrill.hunters.

BUSINESS AND THE SOVIET

Political recognition of the Mos COW government is something for the administration, which 90 far has prudently avoided tackling this con- troversial item. Perhaps it has thought that conditions. in Russia may shape themselves to allow . brighter outlook later.
 Big business, however, is not e particular. Big business M not ruled by political considerations All it needs is profits. Russta permits pro. fits. Big business is willing, there fore, to do business with Russia. and the more the merrier.
 American engineering talent ia as busy with the seviets as biz busi- ness. The sovietA indeed. seem to rely almost entirely upon American engineering experts in the contem- plated construction of smooth roads. hydro-electric plants, steel mills. radio broadcasting plants, and what not There is money in it. And the contracts all read that the American gentlemen are to shed as many new ideas as they happen to have in connection with what ought to be done in the Russian domain.
 After all. this intercourse in ideas and money is more important than politics. Ideas usually run far ahead of politics anyway.

TnE CENTRAL VERMONT

The troubles Of the Central Yer mont railroad. which will be sold st auction on July 2s. is blamed upon the Vermont flood, which it is esti- mated caused a loss Of se.sOo. eco to the line. That was the culminatinR blow. but not all that ever worried the progenitors of the milk line. The railroad has been a so-so affair for years. It has figured in srand dreams, but they didn't come true.
 There was the plan to utilize the Central Vermont. under the aesis of the Grand Trunk, to form ( grand new trunk line from Canada to Providence. The line runs to Palmer Mass., the southern terminus; and from there the Southern New Eng land was to be built to Providence. ana money for the purpose was ad- vanced. Upon completion of this new line the Central Vermont was intended to form part of q through route from Montreal and Canadian points to Providence. About s7.5oo : oco was spent in 1912 and 1,14. to Woonsocket. but no rails were practically completing the grading laid or bridges constructed. Finally the charter of the Southern New England expired in 1928, after if had gone into receivership. That ended the dream of the Central vermont and its Canadian backers to use it as trunk line.
 The Central Vermont has had an annual deficit ever since 1917, but these were as regularly advanced to

PAVING ALONGSIDE TRACKS

An inspection of the street car rails on Asylum street, Hartford or along any other downtown Mart ford street-disclose that they are not the so-cailed T rails, but are U rails which enable the pavement to be even with each side of the rail. and remain thus even for a reason- ably long time.
 This type of rails were not used in New Britain. which is plastered with T rails, making it difficult to keep the pavements even with the tracks. That is why, on 90 many car line streets in New Britain, the pavement alongside the rails usually is in poor condition.
 The most recent paving repairs on West Main street. consisting of layer of asphalt on top of the old brick pavement. turns out to be the best ever provided to eliminate the bad features concerned with the T rails along the street. The pavement. of an even height with the rails, is 90 well laid that automobiles can cross over the rails at will without the slightest semblance of . jar. It !, is as If there were U rails instead of 1 the T rails.
 The city needs more of that species of paving repairs along street car tracks. and under the law 1t is the duty of the trolley company to provide this paving. Had the trol. ley company put down the U rail, Instead of the T rails in this city much expense would have been spared. The paving along most of the car tracks has been repaired by the company time and again. but usual- ly does not last long. That is the hard luck Of the trolley company But it is no reason why the city should not insist that the pavement, alongside the tracks be consantl, kept in good condition.

DECKLEY's MEMORIAL DAY

UECALEYS AEA4OfSAA1 UAx Becktey. Conn.,.
 Juns 3, 1s3S. To the Editor of the New Britain
 Herald:
 Dear Sir:
 "I stood on . windswept hill at noontide of . perfect spring day. White. fleecy clouds floatcd in tho cerulsan blue sky. In the thicket close by an orchestra of orioles and warblers furnished the musical set- ting which was not too sad nor yet too gay an accompaniment for for ty flags that fIuttered among the white headstones clustering on the greenaward of Beckley Cemetery.
 Up the dustry road came tho faint thrill of fife and drum. On peering in the direction of the unusual sound, I perceived what at first ap- peared to be part of the sky be- tween massive branches of the Washington elms on the former site of the ancient tavern. but which later resolved itself into score of youths garbed ,n spotless white. with sky-blue helmets and trappinGs to match. .,
 Behind them l beheld our glorious stars and stripes surmounted by the eagle of geld. twice repeated and . hundred times miniatured in the grasp Of white robsd children.
 Then there was the beautiful blue emblem of the Legion. borne by men in khaki and | smaller one headed a fine scout group in the blue ker. chiefs.
 As gazed, the procession took shape and marching perfectly to the strains of patriotic music it wound up Cemetery hill and around the torturous course which leads to the upper entrance.
 Here the East Berlin Drum Corps formed . lane through which dele gations from at least six patriotic orga nixatiens passed to do homage to the soldier dead of Beckley Cem- etery-soldter dead representing Americas struggle in the French and Indian Wars. the American Revolution. The War of 1912, the Mexican War and the struggle for the preservation of the Union in '61-65.
 saw members of the American Lesion--I should say the Bolton. kasica post-(Risht here let me stop to say that the Bolton part of that name calls to my mind a little child who used to attend the Seldom schsol in Becklsy. When but . tiny boy he shouldered the red. white and blue and marched up Cemetery hill to do his bit as he did later when a young man, entering the World War long before his country called him.-never to return.) - saw its members pass through the lane way of white clad musicians. These were followed by Sons of Veterans. Daughters of Veterans. Daughters of the American Revolu- ton. Boy Scouts and last but not least . very few Civil War veterans. members of the Grand Army of the Republic.
 Many school children followed with their teachers and their super irtendent. and these with :h: as- sistance of the Legion Comm ander, carried the ceremonies through in I thoroughly efficient manner. Flowers, wreaths. and sarlanIs. were reverently laid upon the last resting places of some of Cornecti.
