BUSsES PREFERRED!
Old Fashioned Open Trolley Car Removed PicnicEers Motor-Minded Report Officials of Connecticut Co-Hartford Scraps Old Timers.

Waterbury picnickers lost the thrill of open trolley car rides two years ago when the local di- vision of the Connecticut coIl1s pany decided to use busSes for group outings. Hartfords open trolleys, in their heyday the most popular form of excursion trans" portation, have now made their last runs and have been retired from service. They will Dc scrapped. No more there will be the cross seats, the waving Of banners, the cheering of young sters and adults as they swish along on their way to the picnic grounds. Hartford, like Water bury, has gone modern. Now five, ten, fifteen or twenty busses will carry tho picnickers. just like they have done in this city for the past two years.
 Mot0r.M Minded
 Charles Chapman, manager of the Waterbury division of the Connecticut company, informed The Democrat today that no open car has been used for picnic serv. ices locally for the past two years. The public, he pointed out, has become motor.minded and has

 It will be 6 month or more be- fore the new submarine is com pletely outfitted and taken into Long Island Sound for trials.

called for busses rather than the old open trolley cars. Tn the place of one, two or three open trolley cars now there are caravans of busses carrying picnickers to their outing sites.
 Adult Waterburlans can look back to a not too far distant date when excursions on Sundays or holidays on open trolley cars were treats. Families packed their basket lunches and boarded the cars for Savin Rock or QuaSsa- paug. The open sides of the cars allowed generous circulation of fresh air and afforded an un- hampered view of the countryside. Many local adults today remern. Der the enjoyment they received from standing on the running board" of baseball Specials" when the conductor was generous and the seats were filled.
 Hartford Abandons
 Waterbury has not used open trolley cars for regular passenger service for 6 decade or more. Hartford has had eight in service up to the present time. These eight will be scrapped now in the interest of economy and safety.
