freight cars and trucks which have
been used for the transfer of many

assembly line. perfected in many ways,
is now used by automobile manufac-

The value of the conveyor In reduc-

soon became apparent and its use was
extended to other purposes about the
plant. Now there are literally miles OF

Catfish Swallowed Rattlesnake.

Catfish Swallowed Rattlesnake.
GREAT FALLS, July SUPP
Each fishing season brings its quota
of fish stories and this year has been
no exception. Here's one that prob
ably will tax the credulity of the most
gullible
The story originating in Terry, re-
lates that fisherman, This name is
not available, probably for reasons
sufficient unto himself) caught three
pound catfish with rattlesnake lodged
in its stomach
In explanation, the theory was ad-
vanced that the snake had retired from
the blazing sun to the cool waters of
the stream and was swallowed up by
the fish, which nistook it for an over
grown worm.
The snake assertedly was discovered
when the fisherman heard a rafting
sound in his creel, the Tapping of the
fish during its dying moments having
set the rattles in motion.

RAILROAD STATIONS

Comes the Meriden Record with the claim that the railroad station in the silver city IS q worse build ing than the railroad station in New Britain
 Tn fact" says the Merden paper there IS something rather cozy and comfy about New Britains structure in comparison with our own bare, sa7arn-like building with its time dishonored sounds. sights and smells"
 The paper adds a suggestion that the Chamber Of Commerce erect g sign opposite the station reading Don't Judge the Town by the Sta tion."
 Yet for business done the Meriden station must rank high along the line. All trains stop at Meriden, and as it is pointedly stated, people from Middletopn, Burlington Cheshire and Waterbury often drive over here tto Meridenl to take trains for various parts Of the coun- try.'
 Ne are willing 10 admit that since the New Britain station was improv- ed it IS q better one than the hulk at Meriden. Only the advantage Of being on the main line saves the Meriden station from being entirely disregarded by the critical public.
 Meriden has another advantage over New Britain that should not De allowed to continue. The Silver City is linked by motor coaches in direct fashion with other towns; in other words. Nj riden is the hub Of g small wheel. while New Britain remains part of q rim.
 The day should nor be far distant when motor coaches will give New Britain direct service to mum Der of smaller towns which now call 1 only be reached by travelling in d l roundabout fashion.
 It should not be necessary for i citizens of New Britain to travel to Hartford, Meriden Or Waterbury in order to get to various such towns. l This city not only has poor service on the railroad branch line, but 1t , is just beginning to get on the motor i coach map. The field is a large one and the business is there for the ! taking.

"OSLE SIX DISCONTINUANCES

Coincident with 4he announce ment that the railroad company would supplement the gasoline coach service between New Britain and MiddletoVn with a motor coach service came the announcement that six trains would be discontinued along the lines. involving some dis continuances on the branch line running through New Britain.
 It Is to be hoped that these dis continuances will apply during the summer months only, and that the winter. when fewer private automo- piles are in use, will see a return 10 the former list Of trains.
 Yet this is only hope. The rail- road timetables have grown spars- CT with trains for decade or more, except that there are more trans in winter than in summer.
 Meanwhile the railroad company is adding 10 its motor coach ser vices almost constantly and today it's timetable of such lines is as bulky if not more so than it's time table of railroad trains,
 What happens 10 the men en- ployed on passenger train runs alt- CT the runs are discontinued is hint d at by the Waterbury American in the present case:
 The discontinuance Of so many trains will mean that many men who have been employed on these runs will either he laid off or switched 10 other divisions. It was understood in railroad circles that the railroad intends to put some ot the conductors back as brakemeh and some of the engineers as fire men"

OUR HIG AWAY INVESTMENT

Back in 1921, when the fever tc construct good highways already had attained quite a momentum, state governments spent s39Ioo0o0o or roads.
 But in 1929 the states had spent sS6o,o0O,0o0 on the highways during the year
 In many states local governments sueh as the counties or towns-re- tain control over much highway building. In 1921 such local ex- penditures were s636,OOO,0 900 for the year; in 1929 this had grown to sS6o,o00, 0,oo0-exactly the amoun. spent by the states.
 This gives a good idea of the na- tion's annual investment in new or improved highways They cost money, and the need for more im- proved roads is self evident every where. Even in such states that are prone to boast of their mileage Of improved highways, the thirst for more is unsuitable. Connecticut is such a state.
 Back in 1916 the federal Govern ment thought it necessary to 'as- sist" in the construction of highways, resulting in the enactment of the federal aid highway law. This law elcited much praise in the West, and considerable adverse criticism in the East. Under 1t the Governmen paid half the costs of new main highways if the states paid the other half. Manifestly this was godsend to certain sparsely settled Western

THE SHORES AND THE PUBLIC

The state must be encouraged to obtain more beach rights for the public, in the opinion of the Ansonia Sentinel
 And that is a sentiment that ia certain to meet with widespread ap proval.
 The Sentinel editor evidently has been driving to the shore in an effort to enjoy its attractions, and has been somewhat disappointed, He is not an exception. There is a limited shore and a large population; and though Connecticut owns the entire beach along the Sound below hign water mark which consequently be- longs to the public. that doesn't dn the public much good unless it can get to the beaches ovef the land. Unfortunately, most private owners of shore properties 6o not permIs the public's access to the beach fronting on such property unless they can get to 1t during low water mark; and frequently that is im possible.

DEMOCRATIC POSSIBILITIES

The normal incidents of a md . term election" are likely to come to the Administration this fall. And tn :. incidents, by the way, may be more than normal, or in conformity with the times.
 During the mid-term elections lu 1928, when MT. Coolidge was Presi- dent, the Democrats captured seven of the contested seats in the Senate. exactly wiping out the Republican m majority, and they gained fl seats in the House.
 These results had no particular economic significance, and eco. monies had nothing to do with them; for during the Coolidge years the boom was in process of manu- facture and there was no particular reason to vote against the Adminis- tration on economic grounds. The re- suit was merely the reaction from the Presidential election two yea rs
New Britain herald., 1930-07-25

previously, when the name of Cool idge had carried a host of faithful into office who under ordinary cir cumstarces would not have arrived there.
 This Fall there will be different situation confronting the Adminis- tration; and those who anticipate resounding victory by the anti-Ad- ministration forces perhaps are not far wrong. The Senate, 1t is safe 10 assume, will go to the control of the Democrats.
 That will not be an unmixed blessing to the Democratic party, however as 1t will force the party to assume the responsibility for how the Senate performs.

RAISING POSTAGE RATES

Postmaster General Browns plan to raise letter postage to 1-o cents two stamps for nickel-should not be permitted.
 The post office department has had 2 large deficit, II IS true; but none Of the dificit vas brought about from first class postage.
 Indeed, the postal department earned a profit of sS0,oO0. .0oo from the first class mail during last year. Why should the contributors to the ss0.00o.00o be pcnalized for the deficits occasioned elsewhere in the service.
 The air mail is q heavy loser. The Jones' White shipping assistance act uses the post office department as :, source for ship subsidies through the making of contracts with lines to carry mails to countries where very little mall is directed.
 It is scarcely likely that Congress will consent to a rise in the letter postal rate. That is something that everyone could notice too readily.
 The ideal political tax is one that IS indirect and which cannot be ob- served, To raise the letter postage the Administration. We doubt whether President Hoover himself would stand for it
