 Glenn Tryon was right in his ele- ment in playing the role of a sailor in Danes Ahoy," sparkling all- talking Universal comedy on the screen at the Palace theatre to- night
 Seas and ships, have intrigued Tryon's imagination as far back as he can remember.
 One of his favorite diversions, when he can get away from the set, is to go to San Pedro, the port of Los Angeles, where he can wan der along the wharves and through boat building establishments, and watch the ocean going steamers ar irving and departing. 1 Tryon is forever studying plans of yachts as given in boating publl- cations, and one of his greatest am- bitions is to go on a long yacht cruise to distant lands.
 Tryon plays the role of a young gob in "Dames Ahoy," which is one of the funniest of his many highly entertaining comedies. Tryon, Oti: Harlan and Eddie Gribbon make ur the trio of sailors who are united by their fear of being .entangled 1T matrimony. The adventures tha befall them on shore leave, wher they are beset by the feminine sex make the picture one long outburs of merriment.
 Helen Wright makes her film de but as leading lady in "Dame' Ahoy." She is a young actress O. singularly pleasing personality ane ability. Gertrude Astor, one of th' best known actresses on the screen also has an important part.

 Changes in Charter

\ move 10 strike from th" city charter tho requirement for of year. elections has been started, it was learned today, and it Is expected that it will be brought to the attcn- ton of the charter revision commit tee at an early meeting. The con- mittee will be appointed within a few days, by Mayor Quigley, and will include Senator -eIect William F. Hagearty and Representatives. Jucian Maciora and Samuel s. Goo gel Corporation Counsel J. H. Kirk ham and others.
 Among those who have given con- ajdcration to th" au,isahility Of do- inG away with the of year. voting are President Pro Tcm. David L.. N;Iir ot the common council. Chair man Thomas l. smith of the demo- cratic town committee, Chairman William H. Judd of the board of finance and taxation, Councilman Samuel Sablotsky and several others who have had experience in political matters for a number of years.
 One of the principal arguments in favor of the move is the opportunity Of saving the city considerable money. All the election machinery must be put into operation to elect council members, members of the school board, constables, and select men, and ordinarily there is not suf- ficicnt public interest in the voting to warrant the expense and the work, according to those who favor doing away with it.
 If the amendment is acted upon favorably by the charter revision committee. the common council and the legislature, there will be & city election once in two years and all elective offices will be filled at that time. Under the existing arrange ment. aldermen in the first, third and fifth wards and two counclImen in each of the six wards are elected at the of year" election. the may or. city clerk and one-halt the mem bcrship of the council, besides other officials, being named at the SO called even year election.

Vote Ban by City On Blank Cartridge Guns,
 Large Firecrackers

Adoption of an ordinance pro- hibiting the sale and use of blank cartridge pistols, blank cartridges. cannon crackers or salutes larger than five inches in length within the city limits after January l, 1851, was voted last night by the ordinance committee of the con- mon council.
 Councilman Gibney said it was not at all certain that the legis- lature would adopt a state law prohibiting the sale and use of fireworks, as has been recon. mended by the ordinance com- mittee, and he felt that New Britain should have an ordinance against large noise-makers, blank cartridges and blank cartridge pistols. In the event that the legislature enacts a state law, the local ordinance can be repealed.

 The needs of the United Com munity corporation and it's 10 aux 5ary organizations this year arc S72,- 600. The officials of the parent body, taking into consideration the economic depression. cut this down 10 s60,000, which they figured was the minimum amount under which the organization could function.
 In the meantime the number of needy families in the city has kept growing and more demands than ever have been made for help by those who actually suffer from lack Of food and proper comfort.
 The assured special contributions which the community chest receives each year. plus certain other checks which came in voluntarily last spring brought the entire sum to slightly more than $3O,000. In the hope that the remaining s30.00O would be forthcoming the officials voted to dispense with the annual spring drive.
