THE NEW AUDITORIUM
 \ CIVIC ASSET

or many years, long before first class auditorium in~ the senior high school was thought of, this newspaper printed editorials favor ing some adequate public audi torium. Many plans were made from time to time, ranging all the way from purchasing what is now the Embassy theatcr to constructing a public auditorium which would have cost as much as the entire present high school addition. One plan preached was to construct such an auditorium and include gymnasiums for the use of the pub lie and to place a new police station in one part of the building. Another plan that lasted a day or so called for constructing a new city hall and auditorium included. From time to time plans regarding an auditorium have run wild in town,
 When the plan for q senior high school addition was broachel in the city the Herald realized that new auditorium would be included We favored the auditorium from the first and are gratificd at it's conclu- sion,f We have spoken with reput- able citizens regarding their views. and their opinion seems unanimous that the construction of the audi torium in connection with the high school was cmincntly satisfactory, and that large majority of citi- zcns will applaud the action Of the school committee in providing this gathering place.
 One immediate result Of the new auditorium is that all the other plans are now unnecessary. Nobody will think of bringing up the ques- ton of an auditorium in addition to the one in the senior high school, The city can safely go ahead with whatever plans for building con struction may come in the years ahead without taking auditorium accommodations into consideration. ! This is something gained. The pres ent auditorium will be adequate for 1 many years. It is q place Of beauty and a credit 10 the city Citizens, in order 10 take pride in possessing it need only to be in it once. They in stinctivclr realize that it forms 2 progressive step in the annals of | the city.
 The Herald regards the construc- | ton of this auditorium as emitting ] it 10 share in the general satisfac- | ton. Had this newspaper been sWeryed from ts course in favor ot an auditorium at the time the proposition was under heavy attack i there might have been no audi torium. The scales for and against
 were pretty even at the time. But
 We remained true to the spirit Of . progress. and are glad Of II. The
 school committee did well 10 sticl:
 to it's guns and construct the audi torium; the additional cost, over thG years, will be negligible. Already
 there is widespread civic pride ir
 the new auditorium. This vii
 steadily increase as the years pass

CRtNkS

What the nation needs is more cranks, the Rev. Lincoln Frye of Plainvillc said in this city the other day.
 That we take it, is something 10 ruminatc about The minister gave cogent examples Of the good done by cranks when they are crankcd up along lines that others are too , busy to worry about ! Cranks are not exactly nulsanCcs They cannot be if the definition Of cranks in Websters is correct, to wit:
 "Lusty; vigorous: full Of spirit; sprightly: hence, asgressivcly con- fidcnt; inclined to eXult; pert or confident
 But at another point the dcfini- 1 tion runs:
 Sick; infirm; weak; ailng.' And at another place:
 "Out of gear; working with diff ficulty; loose; shaky."
 And at still another.point;
 'Iustily; vigorously; boldly
 II seems to be matter of pay your money and take your choice.
 What the minister meant by d crank, however. seems to be a per son who is a vigorous fault-finder and who makes his ideas known. There are quite number of these in the world: but perhaps there IS always room for more.
 The kind of crank the minister adN ocatcs is not the type, we con- fcss, Of which we think highly. His idea of q crank seems to be some body who wishes to reform the uni verse by forcing upon it his oWr personal brand Of ideas, ideals morals ana what not
 Of these there have been plcnitude. and the net result is tha a growing proportion of the un cranked population seems inclined to think .css Of the cranks than the. formerly did.

 Look it this pet notion, for in stance:
 We need more Cranhs in tn reading of newspapers, more pcopl who get irritated at ncwSshcets tha ! are so wet that you nave tO llhli them over register 10 dry betor YOU dare to read them.

LIQUOR REMAINS \ MENACE

What helped to ruin the saloon drunk in such places and went home to beat up their wives and children. This happened frequently enough, and such conditions or results werc a strong argument in favor of eliminating the Saloon.
 Then the millennium was to start. and nobody was any longer expect cd 10 get drunk and indulge in such cxcresenccs of emotionalism.
 Those who read the papers fairly carefully must come to the conclu- sion that families are still mistrcat- ed because men get drunk. The other day, for instance. there was T story in the Herald which started this way:
 Three wives Of men or drinking IldDIlS uIiutI W tllI all th pei ltlNt iSl'ot night, which, while not new in their lives, impressed upon them the hor- TOT of conditions resulting from over indulgence in liquor. One Of the men struck his wife with a piece of bologna. while another punched his daughter in the mouth with such force that her upper lip was swollen and her nose blcd. The third struck his eight ycar-old son because he would not get out of bed at midnight and drink beer with him.
 Which is enough 10 make ones blood boil. Such incidents take place often enough to throw a serious doubt into the minds of thoughtful citizens as to whether as much progress has been made in climin- ating the evils of ovcr-indulgcnce in alcoholic liquor as had been eH- pcCtc1.
