 Center Is Slippery The light snow that fell during the evening was just enough to make the streets in the center of the town very slippery this morning. Time after time cars driving through the center of the town skidded and turned completely around in the other direction. At one time about 10 cars in row skidded and cavort- ed around the street in real circus style as the drivers made vain at tempts to bring their machines to a halt.
 ] Around o'clock a group Of 15 men gathered at the center and yelled in glce every time an unfor- tunatc driver found his car doing fancy turns. Most of the cars were travelling at a moderate pace and no accidents were reported as a result of skidding. Ono man became angry , when his car skidded and turned in the direction of New Britain. Evi- I denty greatly annoyed, he started 10 drive back in the direction of New Britain but thought better and turned his machine around again. The group of men on the corner enjoyed the scene to their hearts content and attracted many more people by their laughter and cries. Pythian Temple
