Main Street Curb Crowds Not What They IScd to Be

-''e ssiisa A''t s''th t' bbS
 Much has been written from time to time, and a great deal more has been said, on the subject of the sweeping changes that have been made in the physical appearance of Main street and some of the streets adjoining it, but comparatively little attention has been directed towards the difference that can be noted by day and night, in the type of people found all along the way.
 The average New Britainite Q decade or two ago could stroll down Main street from North street to Franklin square and be spoken to by four of every five persons he met. He would probably be stopped every | few hundred feet by someone who wanted to shake his hand or inquire after his health, and if he managed to get past Jack Toohey's, Eddie Emmons' and some other popular gathering places without at least the opportunity of refusing an invitation to step in, he would have just cause for wonder
 All along the Curbstone he would see acquaintances, and if it was Sat urday night he would not think of | trying to shoulder his way more 1 than a.quarter or a half the distance from end to end of the long lane, because time would not permit of 1 the trip. Here he would be called to by a fellow worker. A little far 1 ther along he would see someone he wanted to deliver a message to, and soon until he felt, as he wended his way back home, that he had met all the people in town and had been seen by them with pleasure.
 Not so today, however. Men who consider themselves well known, and rightly so. hustle about the streets many times a day without being | spoken to by more tH"n q N"''',
 they walk through Main street at 1 night, which very few Of L. 90.
 since they acquired autom oDiics, i they might think they were in a strange city. The curbstones arc not lined with humanity as they for merly were, albeit there are more men in the city now by thousands than there were in some earlier per iods. Instead Of standing about dressed in their best and puffing their Saturday night cigars, the mer arc at home or out driving. Per haps they are smoking and maybe they are dressed in their best. Few can tell, because few see them.
 Not that the curbstones are de serted. Nobody who promenadcs Main street after dark can truthfulli
 make such a description, but it i: a different crowd than form erly, jus

Industrial Trend Found To Be Toward Small Town

Ancrica's boast Is it's large cities. There are large communities in every part of the world but in the United States they are as common as seeds in a watermelon.

 We have noted youths Of tender years trying to puff at cigarettes, but never at cigars. Perhaps, however. our informant is correct and some noodle minded boys attempt even this species Of tomfoolery. In the old days they earned a spanking; today all they get is an analysis by psy- chologists who inform opcn-mouthed and surprised parents that the kids arc merely ap!ng what they see their elders do and the way to stop them is for the elders to set the example, It is against the law 10 sell cigar ettes to minors, and we are willing to believe that shopkcepcrs obey the law. At least, we have seen youths who asked for cigarettes being refus- ed in shops, being told to wait few years until they were old enough How they get hold of the pellets then, Is baffling mystery.
 Not many youths take to cigar cites al an early age, however. The first effects on themselves deter all | but the most foolish. attnrnnt. Ing to puff like their elders.
