MARCH HIDSoN-ESSEX SALES
 SET NEW LOCAL RECORD

By far the largest selling month which Hudson-EsseX ever has known Tn New Britain is reported for
 March. The new all-time record of new Hudson and Essex cars pur. chased in New Britain and registers ed with the secretary of state was
 4G according. to the Honeyman Auto
 Sales O., local Hudson Essex dealer. This is 21 more Hudson and Es- sex cars than the 25 cars purchased in March a year ago. an increase in business of S9 per cent. Mr. NJ. D. Honeyman said that never before had cars in the Hud- son. Essex field approached such sales mark in New Britain. such an achievement by my or-
 ganization is particularly a matter of pride to me" said Mr. Honey- man, "because early this year, l pre- dicted a tremendous swing to Essex
 the Challenger.
 Our firm offered at that time 10 purchase all the Hudson Essex cars which the factory would sell us, be-
 cause We felt that Essex had built
 itself a distinct niche in the auto mobile field and that the big buying swing this spring would be to Essex An this year the swing Of buy
 CTS 10 Essex has been very strong indeed. In addition to our natural
 business from old Essex owners, we
 have had an amazing proportion of
 other car owners make q switch to the Essex
 This spring the automobile baisi- ness is active. but feature of it is that the publics likes and dislikes are strong. Those automobiles which are popular are very popular indeed. But there is no ground of moderate favor. A car is either very good
 or not good at all. The big swing to Essex which we have noted is simply an instance of this important tendency .'-adyt.

The Plainyille Chamber of Com merce, which boasts of a fine rec ord of achievement, has arranged a definite program for the coming year. The chamber believes that the test of any organization is not so much what it has accomplished as what is it's program for the future.
 During the coming year many matters of major importance will be presented 10 the people of the town. A zoning ordinance is being studied and will be presented at coming town meeting. The chamber is in- terested in a more beautiful and at- traCtive town and is endeavoring to promulgate the planting of trees and shrubs.
 It is also fostering a program which will make Cleanup week come every week in the year. It is desirous further of aiding the Wom- tns club in the establishment of a public library. The chamber be- lieves that when the property on East Main street becomes available, there should be sufficient funds on i hand to immediately erect library 1 building. These are few of the 1 many activities engaging the atten- i tion of the chamber.
 i Having proved in the past year that it is doing it's best and utmos, to make plainville one of the best 1 towns in the state, the chamber is l hopeful that every citizen of Plain- Vile Will attend the banquet of the organization 10 be held on April | at the Plainville High school gym. l naSium.

 There will be a special vaudeville sketch entitled "A Session of the Ho
 Stove League" by Charles Orsie anC Henry Powers. These men are yer, clever and entertaining and proved to be decided hit at the entertain. ment given last year by the Woman's club.

UNCLE WIGG1LY AND THE
BEECHNUTS

Those of YOU who never lived III
the country near the, woods, very
likely do not know what beeehnnts
are and have never. seen or eaten
them. Perhaps you may have
thought that beechnuts grew on the
sea beach in the sand. but that isn't
true.
Beech trees are large and bcauti-
ful With a white bark almost like
that of birch tree; and on some.
but not all of the beech trees brown,
threecornercd nuts grow in little
husks. dropping off after Jack Frost
touches them with his cold fingers.
Beechnuts are not rs large as
chestnuts or hickorynuts. but they
are very good TO eat having sweet
nutty flavor. But they are almost
as scarce as the small chestnuts.
That is WHY when Mrs. Bushytail,
the lady squirrel. asked her husband
one day TO bring her home some
beechnuts. Mr.. Bushytail ehattercd
and said;
Right gladly would | do that, my
dear, if ! could. But l haven't seen
any beerAnuts in wears and wears,
There are plenty Of beech trees. bui
none have any Of the brown, three
eoruered nuts on them"
Well, ii YOU see any, please bring
ME seme.' begged thr mother OF
Johnnie and Billie Bushytail. 'l'm
