PARKING REGULATIONS

(From the Webster "Times'1
 Putnam has inaugurated a two hour parking rule in the business section of the town, a step that was taker not without much opposition, and with predictions on the part of many that tt would prove a detriment Co the business of the town. Putnam has a con0ested area. as all other towns of this size must have, and solving the problem of how to serve tho greatest number is one of no small magnitude.
 Webster's attempt on the same problem can be said to have been quite successful. at least the com. nlaints that once were heard, are rarely or never registered now Web ster also has a two hour parking rule, not too rigidly enforced. and certain other rules and regulations concern ing Main street parking. designed to relieve a situation that was becoming acute.
 There has been little or nothing done about the two hour parking rule. at least there has never been any record of a case in court for viO- iating this rule since the regulation went into effect The police have attached some tags to the marathon parkers. but a visit to the chief of police by the recipient of one of these tags has resulted in a warning that has evidently been obeyed.
 There has also been a most lenient attitude extended to the out-of state cars and to strangers in our midst. One warning is generally sufficient and Is much better chan drastic ac- ton. Removal of the taxis from the Main street was q much more effective means of clearing the street for use of the legitimate shopper
 Putnam might take a page from the book Of Webster m this regard Any drastic or rigid enforcement of these rules would be a mistake that ! Putnam will regret. 4 more court. ! eous and as effective means of en, forcing the regulation is that by which the motorist. ostentimes en tirely innocent of the rule. is requir. ed 10 visit the office of the chief. and there informed of his transgression with the injunction to Ego and sin nc more"
 The method may not be eifectua in Putnam, but it has been mighty successful here. and results have been accomplished without a single in stance of a motorist hailed into court Drastic action that results in court appearances and fines will not make Putnam a popular place with motor ists

THOUSANDS IN
YOUTH DAY MEET
Must Organize All Young
Factory Workers

Several thousand enthusiastic
young workers and a large number
OF adult class comrades crowded the
Central Opera House last night in
the mass demonstration that formed
the final climax of International
Youth Week in New York.
The mass of youthful class fight
ers, with the Young Pioneers in
their beaming uniforms in their
midst, burst repeatedly into singing
of revolutionary songs, interrupted
by voiced slogans and cheering.
Max Bedacht, speaking for the
Central Committee of the Commu-
mist Party, pointed out the growing
weight of the young workers in
American industry, their consequent
Importance in the class struggle
and the necessity for special efforts
to organize them into the Young
Communist League and the youth
sections of the revolutionary unions.
