LOCAL PARKS ARE

But Few Citizens Show Full Alp.
 preciadon of Surroundings

Almost every community in the state of Connecticut has some beau- ty spot which is the boast of every citizen who claims 1t as his resid- ence. Some places are much bet ter known than others, and others. like Elizabeth Park in Hartford. are the mecca for thousands of visitors during the months when the flowers are in bloom and are the object of admiration which is expressed time after time by word and pen.
 Familiarity breeds contempt" is an expression that might be borrow ed to describe the attitude of many of the people of New Britain to- wards their parks. So much can he said for the efforts of the present park board and its employees to make the city parks places of beauty but. in the final analysis, 50 little is actually said by people living here that it was a distinct shock to hear a group of visitors in the city re- gently long and loud in their praise for the parks and the uses to which they are put.
 Under the direction of the park commissioners and under the direct supervision of Park Superintendent Clyde Ellingwood. the happy com bination of beauty and recreation has been solved with regard 10 the parks of New Britain. Not only have the parks, all of them, been beautified to a high degree but they have been made places of recreation for the citizenry of the municipality

 As a matter of fact. Mir. Speaker, I think that the depart- ment and the government have done practically everything whicl, could be done under the law as it now stands to help our neighbors. short of the actual prohibition of exports. It should be remem- bered that after all Canada is not a prohibitionist country.
 The statement has been made frequently that it is Cana dian liquor that is flooding the United States. There is no req sonable doubt that . large amount of liquor does so from Canada into the United States, but rela- lively speaking the amount is very small based upon the evil dence of the United States author- ities connected with the enforce ment of their law that it is only from two to five per cent of their total consumption that is imported from Canada.

King Harold. He then marched with his army

quered so that he might rule it efficiently ana

Naturally such work required much time.
for in those days nearly 900 years ago there
were no roads such as we have today, there
were no automobiles, no trains no telephones
ana no mail service, and IL Is no wonder that
several years were required to gather all this
information for King william But once il was
obtained, 1t was very valuable and It was col.
lected and written down in two large voluynes
known as the Dcmesday Book
The smaller Of the two contained 76O pages:
the larger volume contained 900 pages. Both
BOOKS were heavily bound in brass and leather.
with TWO locks on the edges. and were kept
securely In large chest. Large as these books
are, It may seem strange to us at this time
tnat they contained the entire census of Eng.
