THE NEW FASHIONED
 MACDONALD

The address Of Premier MaCDon- aid before the Council on Foreign Relations was for the world, and a goodly part Of the world heard it's rare cloquence, ideal conceptions of duty, and his sincere declaration that as head of the British Empire he was willing 10 sacrifice the risk of old-fashioned possibilities for new fashioned probabilities predicated upon good intentions, honor and in- ternational good will.
 People who think in the terms of the past are fashioned and out of-date, the Premier declared.
 His new-fashioned method of openly discussing the aims Of new policies in order that there be a better understanding among all the nations of the earth is ncw-fashiOn- ed and effective. The millions who heard his address could scarcely help concluding that here is a states man who in all likelihood will go down in history as one of the world $ greatest.

If You Don't Understand Baseball Ask the Girls

The ladies, even more than usual seem 10 be eating up this world ser ics stuff in town this year. And why not? Don't the girls "do' the box ing bouts, smoke up brothers cig- arettes, and even--so 'tis said-drink a little forbidden beverage. in some instances? Here is one example of the all around knowledge some of them show, however:
 Two young things were walking down Arch street after the game the other day. Says the first one:
 Did you win anything on the game today?"
 Second lady; "Wcll-I don't know yet. What was the score anyway, to O."
 First young lady: T guess so. It was about that. Who won. any way, New York or Chicago?"
 Second young lady: Tt isn't New York. It's Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh and Chicago"
 First young lady: "Yeh. I guess that is right. Well, who won? How do they count it, the number of hits?"
 Second young lady: T guess that's right. Anyway they'll tell me down at the office tomorrow whether l won anything"
 First young lady: "Down where l work we have two kinds of chances. There are the ones where you pav a quarter and the ones where you pay a half dollar. ] put in for the half dollar one. And then if some thing happens just at the right time that is if they get hits or errors or something when your ticket is good, why you win. I'm sure, any way, that you get either $S.5 or $9 if you win. There's something about it's changing from $8.50 to $9 de- pending on how many tickets they sell.'
 And so on, far, far into the night, as the author of MT. and Mrs. would say!

COLUMBUS, TOO, REMEMBERED

There are states in the Union in which October 12 gains no special observance except red letters on such calendars having two-color printing; and there are thousands Of American cities in which their mayors make no such proclamation SIS that enunciated yesterday by Mayor raOncssa. But there is no hamlet, village, town or city in the nation where the name of Christo- pher Columbus is not emphasized in the thoughts of citizens on this day, and no school in which his famed voyage into the unknown that re- suited in the discovery of the New World is not impregnated firmly into the minds and ideals Of school children.
 Unlike the Pulaski anniversary. Columbus Day is an annual event. To do homage to the mem ory of the great disCoverer comes natural to every American. He opened the path to the New World which now all but dominates the old.

Our Weekly Pccyc Is Aimed At Plethora of Screen Reyucs.

Movies. apparently, are developing three WayS-or rather developing two ways and slipping backward in q third direction. Even the occasion- al movie gOer nowadays must notice the tendency toward the glamorous revue type of moyie-the show in which there are more song hits than many a Broadway musical comedy possesses, and more pretty girls than most road shows can boast. The other extreme is the straightaway talkie that is little more than a film version of a stage play. New Britain, even within the last few weeks, has had a taste of both kinds. Personal adverse preferences exist, of course, but all in all the revue type of show seems to be going over best.
 The third direction is excmplified by movie the Observer recently saw-not in New Britain. It was la bellcd Daughters of Desire"-ap parcntly hopeful that the sugar coat ed label would lure unsuspecting patrons to attend. So far as the Ob- server knows it has not played in New Britain. Perhaps it would be preferable if 1t didn't. In any event | 1t was very, very anateurish. In DOT tons it was so over-played that it was nauseating. So much for this type of movie.
 Two recent examples of the stage play adapted to the movies have played in New Britain. however, and both were head and shoulders above the old type of melodrama. Ont stars Ruth Chatterton and the oth- CT a group of players new to the mo. vie screen. But they are artists nev. crthelcss and they present a film that was impossible before the days of the talkies. The work in botf shows was remarkably well handled | because the players were from tn, ! legitimate stage> and of high cali | bre.
 Although the public likes the re vucs, there are few, of course, tha ! offer as much real chance for tn, actors as the show with legitimate actors. Youth rules the mammotf spectacle films mature talent i! sought for the straight away talkle And therein lies the stronger appea
 of the show that stars such an ad
 mirable actress as Ruth Chatterton
 for some of us.

'EWS ID OBSERVE
 DAY OF ATONEMENT
Sabbath of Sabbath" or Jewish Tom Kippur Starts Tomorrow

At sunset tomorrow the chanting or the traditional melody of Kol Nidre in all temples and synagpgucs will mark the beginning of the Day of Atonement, called in Hebrew "Yom kippur," The Bible also re- fers to this holy day as 'The Sab bath of Sabbath": in Jewish life it is also known as "The Great White Fast Unlike the observance of any other Jewish holiday, the Day of Atonement is observed by fasting and praying all day. It marks the tial period which begins with the Jewish New Years day and Is in ! itself a day of meditation, repent ance, and fasting. It stands, there- fore, as the most solemn and sacred day of the Jewish year.
 In ancient days, when the Temple still stood in Jerusalem, the Jewish | people observed the Day of Atone mcnt chiefly by offering sacrifices at the altar as specified in Leviticus i XVI. In the presence of a large crowd which filled the temple courts the high priest uttered three con- fcssions of sins: one for his own sins and the sins of his family, one for the sins of the priethood, and one for the sins of the entire Jewish people. The people prostratcd them 1 selves; the Lcvites sounded the l trumpets; the priests implored God i for mercy and forgiveness. Then the high priest entered the holy of 1 holies and uttered there a short prayer with deep religious fervor. That was the most solemn moment i of the Day of Atonement.
 With the destruction of the temple | however, the sacritical ritual disap- pcarcd as part of the observance of this most sacred day. The rabbis i substituted prayer for animal SaCri- 1 fees and meditations for the confess sions of the high priest. They en- i dowed the Day of Atonement with a deeply religious spirituality and gave 1t purely human appeal. Through out the medieval age it was Consid- cred as the day upon which God 1
 ure in the world. It was, therefore,
 marked with fasting and prayer. The services of the day inspired the
 Jew with a divine reverence and made him conscious of his rcspon-
 sibllities to man and God.
 Today, the Day of Atonement
 looms in Jewish life as the culmina-
 tion of the period of self cxamina-
 ton, self-crticism. and self-judg-
 ment, The beautiful prayers and [ devotional meditations serve to fill i the Jewish worshippcr with the 1 spirit of repentance, reconciliation
 and forgiveness - three principles
 dominant in practically every rel- i zion. For this reason, the Day of
 Atonement carries a signal message 10 the world at large, as well as to
 the present generation of Jews
 The day will be observed by spe- Cial services in the local Jewish syn agogues.

with the cause of American inde- pendence.
 Poland. whence sprang this man of valor, disappeared from the map of Europe until under the aegis of Americans it was revived and re- created after the World War. Just as America was helped 10 begin her great mission through the effort Of Pulaski, so Poland was brought back among the family of nations largely through the effort of the Americans in this century.
 Citizens of Polish extraction in this country, and in this city in which they form a large section of the population. honor Brigadier Gen. eral Pulaski as q great American. All other citizens will join heartily in sharing their enthusiasm for the Revolutionary war patriot.

THE OBSER 7 ER- Makes Random Observations
 On the City ant Its People


The new trend of industry has a simple explanation, best understood after a glance back at industrial his- tory" he says. Tt should be re- membcrcd that the concentration of industry in the cities grew out of the originally confined character of power supply and the infleXible na- ture of transportation facilities, In the past decade, however, power was released from confinement, and the ever increasing nexibilty of railway freight service was amaz- ingly complimented by the aston ishing increase in the use of the thousands of miles of hard roads. These factors are rcjuvenating and enriching the life of the small town far more rapidly than the great urban centcrs. They have elimin- atcd every large obstacle in the path of the small towns industrial advancement.
 Industry is actually moving to the small town, and justifying its move with slide-rulc. Superficial ly, the disadvantages of such "a move are so great it would appear an idle dream for any sizeable in dustry to even contemplate such a shift There Is the expense incl dental to the actual moving and the reconstruction; the months of lost time shaking down to ne" routine; the loss of old employees; the absence of city conveniences and services; the loss of informative and helpful contacts and thousand and one other reasons.
 Weighed against these, however, call it either selfshness or altruism, are the opportunities for employees to live in attractive surroundings: to own their own homes; to have the benefits of living and working in a healthier environment, and in crease their physical and mental we'll being.
 Cautiously, this is the governing motive, usually, in an industrial move. Its selfish explanation -- it's slide-rule justification - CoAcs through the industry's benefit in the greater energy, the greater mental and physical capacity, of it's cm- ploycs, which reduces personnel changes with consequent substantial savings"

THE CIVIC MUSIC ASSOCIATION

~
 IL is with relief that one learns that the Civic Music Association, which began its existence last year under the presidency of Judge Hungerford, is still in business al though quiescent so far because of a change in circumstances regarding the possibility of renting suitable halls for the presentation of the class of concerts to which 1t aligns itself.
 The announcement that the asso- citation has deferred activities until such time as the new high school auditorium ls completed indicates what q plight the city would have been in had the high school plans not included such an auditorium.
 The Civic Music Association is only one of several organizations that mas, rely almost solely upon this auditorium in the future.

WE HONOR PULASKTS MEMORY

Citizens Of Polish extraction in the United States are fully justified in the possession Of pride in the deeds and sacrifice of Brigadier General Casimir Pulaski, L.. S A, who came 10 the struggling colonies in 1777 and contributed his life to the cause that led to the birth of this nation.
 Coincidcnt with the 15nth anniyer- sary of the death Of this patriot il is proposed by the governments Of the United States and Poland 10 raise their legations to the rank of en- bassics, Such action manifcstly would be an appropriate method by the two governments i'll aiding in the celebration in honor CT Pulaski.

AND THE FARLEY

Although Italy, along with France and Japan, promptly accepted the invitation for another naval barley, word quite as readily came from Rome that the government of Mus solini looked with disfavor upon any plan to limit the supply of sub marines and most certainly would strongly oppose the idealistic effort to eliminate them altogether. France. too, likes her flocks of submarines. Both nations, however. seem willing margin IS enough 10 give them what they might consider an adequate de- fense.
 Submarines unfortunately continue to be regarded as a most practical mode of defense by countries not possessing a large assortment of first line ships and cruisers. Submarines are comparatively small, cheap and deadly. An inland sea like the Medi- terrancan, although controlled at Gibraltar and at Suez by the British. and skirting the southern part of France, would be quite an Italian lake If Italy had enough submarines for the purpose.
 France, believes in keeping the Mediterranean partly French; at least to the extent Of permitting the passage Of troops from Africa to France. The Mediterranean is the back door of France, Without sub marines the door can be closed upon her.
 Both nations have colonies in Northern Africa which show great promise. An abundance of British cruisers between the homeland and the colonies would be most discon- certing during an international dis cussion.
 Great Britain does not like sub marines on general principles, and never did. They are the contrivances that complicate the naval situation and give to smaller powers the chance to be well nigh invulnerablc from attack. The combination of difficult to circumvent. In addition. the submarines at times are also quite an offensive weapon.
 It may be that Italy and France can be convinced at the London barley that in spite of all their argu- mcnts favoring the retention of sub marines they really are unnecessary now that the world seemingly has turned over new leaf and disagree ments of moment are unlikely in the future. All signs indicate, however, that it will require much subtle verbal maneuvering to cause the two Mediterranean nations to understand that point. They like their sub marines and have their good and sufficient reasons for keeping good ly supply on hand.

One notable exception in the big spectacle talkies occurs to us, and that is "The Cocoanuts." The man, woman or child who could attend q theater showing this finn and leave without few pains in the side must indeed have bad case of dyspep- sia.
 The crude attempts to adapt mcd- locre players to the talk cs will ,.rb- ably continue, as well as some cf he reVucs that depend mere on a few broadway stars, a chorus i'm gor Geous settings, and few trek songs. than on real plot and talent. It Is to be sincerely hoped, though, that more Of the actors and actro1aes Of unquestionable ability will s.gn up for straight comedy or mclo. drama successes. And then. perhaps. the next logical hope Is that the films will come to New Britain.

Mayor for Next Two Years VIII Have His Troubles


 Problems which have accumu- lated during the past few years and new problems which have been created by the real estate situation during the past twelyc-month must be solved intelligently by man who occupies the office of mayor after the election next spring.
 The office will require genuine executive ability and a broad know ledge of financing. It will tax the administrative powers of the best brains in the city.
 New Britain, which has been lodging it's sewerage responsibilities for years, will probably be called upon to substitute action for words. The system Is inadequate and must be improved unless the community wishes to be at swordspoints with residents of Berlin. There is a possibility of large dan age suits being filed as the result of con- ditions in the adjoining town be- cause of pollution of streams. Mil lions will eventually be spent before conditions are corrected. New Britain needs modern sewer system 10 meet the needs of q grow ing community.
 The water situation must also be handled with wisdom. An agree mcnt with Hartford over the use of streams and reservoirs in the water sheds supplying the two cities will likely be reached. New Britain must fight for it's own share.
 Schools in some sections are now under-roomed and portab blcs are be- ing used to the disadvantage of their young occupants and teachers. Money must be found to provide better accomm odations.
 Tn spite of the many demands for improvements, many citizens believe there is an acute need for reduction of property assessments. Realty in- comes have declined and property owners in many instances have found themselves deprived of their equity.
 The executive who can discover ways and means of raising funds for expansion of public projects and at the same time effect a reduction in the grand list must have the powers of magician. The office of mayor during the next two years will not be an enviable position.
