ADDING TO BEATTY OF CENTRAL PARK

The permanent Christmas tree in Central park. just placed there after a new idea struck town, is a splendid contribution to the parks forestry There are citizens, indeed, who are beginning to think the new tree is so much smarter in appear ancc than any Of it's fellows in the park that the time may not be far distant when a few more perma- ncnt transplantings there could be provided for with profit to downtown park forestry.
 Of course. there were no end of interested citizcury who marvened it the system Of digging up large tree by it's roots, oncasing the earth around the roots in burlap. trans porting the forest monster" to the city, and there ropIanting it in a hole dug and provided. Tree trans plantation such as this appears to b" d most useful science; and as it has something in common with beauty, perhaps it is an art. At least. many picture that has been painted is not as permanent joy 10 the artistic eye e., a trauaplantod tree at site where it will he a joy for a generation,
 There are trees in the woods, liv- ing an existence Of isolation, which would contribute vastly greater benefits to the people of this city if trausplantod as nciehbors to those already in the park
 Our downtown forestry in Central park is something to be nurtured, not neglected. The little triangle i2 something 10 bc proud Of, Virtually H,lrry town in New England ia dis tucuished by village green; and in . the West, where most towns did not have tho sense to copy the New England model when they had q chance, they are prccjous sorry for their failure, When their citizens come 10 New England as tourists they admire nothing so much as the 1 village greens in our "conters"
 The central part of New Britain would look dreary indeed without the forestry and foliage of Centra park to greet the eye, True. seeing it every day has a tendency to re- lieve one of that satisfaction whicr ought never 10 be dissipatcd. But try to imagine what the downtown sec. ton of New Britain would look ik, without Central park,

STANLEY WORKS PLANS SANTA TO THE CITY

Yes, We do look toward 1930 with optimism. There is the Stanley Works, for instance, buying two i'm portant electric tool manufacturing plants and announcing that they would be removed from New York and Cincinnati to New Britain. Numerous skilled artisans identified with these plants are expected to come here with the removal. All in all, the deal looks like sound progress for New Britain,
 As Clarence r. Bennett. president of the Stanley Works puts it. there has been some talk about New Eng land gradually drying up, and one public speaker recently made so bold as to wonder whether the time would not come when New England would be returned to it's pristine oc- cupation of farming.
 pcssimistic speculation such as this is altogether out of line with the facts &s adduced by the New England Council. Instead of losing industrially, New England is gain ing. That there have been textile plants which moved South is widely known-too widely, in fact. But after all, textiles and some kindred industries are only part of New Eng lands industrial empire. There has been a steady gain in types of other industrial plants and in the total of Worknen employed.
 New Britain is fortunate in pos sessing types of industries which are on the up-and-up. Scarcely any of our major industries has lacked steady and consistent growth. New buildings have been put up and the average of progress shown is far in advance of industries in most cities of it's size The important acquisi- tions of the Stanley Works in the electric tool field are only the most recent instances of progress. Congratulations are due the Stan ley Works for it's enterprise. The company is helping itself and incl ! dcntally the city.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-19

and in certain of those respected academies from which New Brit aims distinguished art critic holds dcgrecs-it would be pointless nov that the exhibition has come to an end to continue this detailed re-
 view. It must already appear that such q group of pictures can not he
 dismissed wholesale and that art can not be intelligibly discussed merely by reference to broad priH- ciples For l am sure no one coul1 subscribe more WhOlohcartedly than myself to the editorial statement that Art that doesn't strike the emotions has no purpose except lo be of academical interest" As to the musical anal0gics, they clear!N apply to a period over a decade ago. 1 The new music of the last few years makes no use of cacophony. SaugueJ, 1 Thomson, Harris are as far from the school of noise as is the latest TchaikoWskian work of StraWinsli. Briefer comment, more balanced, and recognizing more fully the i'm mense variety and vitality of con- temporary French art would have been fairer reward 10 the worthy ". fCrts of Miss Fanny Brown in or ganizing this exhibition. It was 10 easy task to gather these pictures together, and New Britain must have been grateful at least for in" opportunity of receiving information OF the current state of art Opr- ion less bludgconed might have been more sincere; and while the excellent modern colored prints of
 the Marcos Gesellschafft would hardly have driven the old mastcr prints from the art shops of New
 Britain. there might have been en- cOur3gcmcnt to provide a VdriaI i showing of pictures in the gallery of the New Britain Institute Aud l might in conclusion prophecy that a showing of the great Euro i pean masters of the fourteenth ard | fifteenth centuries Would have been l quite as bcWildcring as was that ot our own century. But either one is i content with what one has seen ami never seeks to broaden ones hori- 2on or one must approach new fields ! with a certain opcnmindcdncss an 1 fricndliness.
 The Herald has shown itself so l interested in the exhibition at the ] New Britain Institute by the amount | Of space 1t has devoted to il; that l it is unfortunate that the tone of its 1 review should have been such as to | discourage the Institute from ever | attempting again to widen by it's cA- i hibition the local horizon of art

WHEN \ STREET IS DRY

As We understand it, q street in this city will be entirely devoid ol city water service except it meets the following conditons:
 (a) The street must be "acceptcd" by the city.
 (b) It. must be 'propcrIy" graded for the reception of a water main.
 Co It cannot be graded until the city accepts it.
 (d) The city sometimes IS slow in accepting a street.
 (e) The board is just as slow if not slower in grading a street be- fore the city accepts it; or possibly it is against the rules of the board to fuss with a street before the city ac cepts it. Come 10 think of it, such a rule seems reasonable, natural. and above criticism.
 C) The water board is just as slow as any of the others, if not considerably slower, iA putting down a main unless the public works board has graded the street after the city has accepted it.
 tg) And there we are.
 Consequently Governor street, in the fifth ward, is dryer than prohi- bition, so far as Shuttle Meadow brew is concerned. We suppose, without investigating, that the resi- dents get plenty Of good exercise in operating pump handles or somc- thing like that. They are q unit in saying that city water, obtained by d twist of the dials-the faucets, rathcr-is q sight more convenient.
 They naturally are wondering why sections a, b, c. q, Q, f and of the present diagnosis of lamentable con ditions should he allowed to con- tipue. So do the remainder of us.
 It is to be hoped that the city vii soon put Governor street on the official map. Property owners arc not overlooked when it is a question Of paying taxes. Which causes us tC add q post script 10 wit:
 (h) They pay taxes all the same

FOR THE SAKE OF HUMAN BEINGS

Failure of the Board of Finance and Taxation to provide funds for the rehabilitation of the city's tuber- cuIosis saniturium came as a shock to citizens of humanitarian in- stincts. These, we believe. are in the majority.
 The Common Council although seeing merit in the plan, set it's face against doing anything about the sanitarium now because of the cost of it's upkecp m the future Such fi- nancial insight is commcndablc, but it takes no account of the needs of potential patients. These need aid. There are more than 800 tubcrcu- losis patients in the city, and approx imateIy half of them require hospi, tai treatment. If the city does not provide the sanitarium it means that many of the sufferers are denied that type Of medical treatment which an enlightened humanitarian ism regards as a necessary element of civilized society.
 Furthermore the spreading of this disease is much more likely under present conditions than if the city sanitarum were in usc, The small sum needed to put the city saui- tarium in condition would bring more returns in terms of human welfare than an equal sum spent in any other way The cost of upkecp ought to be negligible factor in the i tax rate.
 Some time ago the city, goadcd into action by complaints of cruelty, built an improved dog pound so that stray animals might not suffer un- necessary torture while confined there. Such an evidence of humani- tartan procivitics by City Hall re- ceived the commondation of practi- cally all citizens.
 A tuberculosis sanitQrium. al- | though it will cost a little more money. is even more necessary. The war against tuberculosis, once scourge of the human race, has been fought and won largely because the | best means to combat it's spread were combined with an ever incrcus- l ing knowledge of it's characteristics, 1 The human race has less to fear ! from this crstWhilc plague because of more widespread application Of l health safeguards. The municipa. tuberculosis sanitarium would be the city's most effective bulWark against
 the spread of the disease. No one in
 his senses. we believe, would claim | that with more than 800 sufferers
 from the disease such building is
 not decided advantage to health and an aid in the local war against
 the plague. We should not permit d
 paltry sum to stand in the way of
 providing this necessary evidence of
 the presence of humanitarian in
 stincts hcrcabouts
New Britain herald., 1929-12-19

and should be given every conceiv- able leeway. The action of the Coun- cil does not mean that the human touch" in tax collections is to be absent; it merely means that when the city sends out d bill the docu- ment is in the same class as when 3 commercial house sends out q state ment; it must be honored and not considered of less potency than the bill from q merchant.

MOTHER KNOWS BEST!

Said she: My dear, if were VOL. I'd take them with a grain or two Of honest salt, for it's a fact That hearts are happier intact, And nice serene indifference Provides an excellent defense" And that, in short, was her advice, And very sound it was and wise. But in my youth she made me eat My daily stint of Cream Of WheGt. She made me get my hours of rest. She made me do as she thought
 best.
 And now I rather wish that she Had kept on Sternly making me Conform 10 her ideas instead Of letting me go straight ahead And rove deliberately from Beneath that safe and prudent

hh ltifl street,
 Middletown, Connecticut.
 Editor New Britain Herald,
 Your newspaper has devoted fl&ttcriEg amount of space to tn" exhibition of contemporary French
 art at the New Britain institute. If is regrettablo that neither in Mr. Dewey Van Cott'S review nor in the
 later editorial comment was there any attention paid either to the works exhibited or to the specific
 artists who painted them.
 Although the course Of lectures
 which | am delivering at Wesleyan
 University this winter deals only with the art of the seventeenth and
 eighteenth century. l felt it desir-
 able that my students should take advantage of the unusual opportuni- ty 10 see a representative gathering Of contemporary foreign art such as was exhibited in New Britain. We had just finished examining the pie
 lures in some detail when the IIc"-
 aid appeared with AIr. Van Cots ro-
 view. Realizing from the headline
 that it would be opposed 10 my own views on the subject I read it aloud rnpreparcd for the contemporary Paris school and far from won to appreciation of it by my comment
 and explanation.
 Leaving aside Mir. Van Cott'S rudoncss to the lecturer on the eX- hibit, and his various anecdotes from the comic StripS-faUits mere lv of taste-wa were surprised o find that he referred 10 no picture
 or artist by name and that his blanket NitupcratiOn spent itself DN being clearly without application 10 many individual works. II is true that Chagall attempts q naiVcto not without relation 10 that of children,
 it is true moreover that the largo | Dufrosnc was intentionally humo|- Ous. But it is clearly not true thlt the Picasso line drawings were the work of q man who did not know. even in the most academic scns", 1 how 10 draw, or that the Dcran ldndscape--a far more traditional picture than has been painted in America in several generations -- shows inability to handle brushes or lack of respect for the sOlidest prin- | ciples of good design or ignorance or what constitutes good harmonious color.
 Beyond pointing out that Nlam- | inc& is q painter interested primari- i ly in emotional tone and quite at
 the poles of intention from t | MatiSsc or Duffy interested in flat i pattern of bright color-in a tradi- 1 tion of art far older and far wider i spread than the $trangc nineteenth l century hybril of -ClassicisH and Romantic:sm which passes for tradition with our academic painters
