WATR Also Aids in Trans. hitting No School NO-
 tiCe to Tutors, Pupils

Striking illustration of the way in which Hartford was cut off from communication with the outside world in several directions was given yesterday as officials of the board of education of the town of West Hartford sought to inform teach CTS that school for today had been called of.
 Teachers living in Hartford could not be reached, in many cases, by telephone from West Hartford or Hartford, and radio announcements would have been useless because of the lack of electric power in the capital city, making 1t impossible to use radio.
 The announcement was relayed by phone to Middletowil, and from that point to Waterbury. Several local residents who teach in West Hart ford were asked to inform teachers living in Hartford of the announce ment. They were able to reach Hartford by phone, though 1t was impossible for those in West Hart ford or Middletown to do 50.
 Later, the no school announce n1ent was broadcast by Stations WATR, Waterbury and VITO and WDRC, Hartford, for the benefit of teachers and pupils living in areas where electric power was in service.

 Yesterday, the company trans ported a 25-ton transformer from New Britain to Wethersfield by a round d-about route. Work on the in- stallation of the gigantic transform CT was still in progress this morn- ing, but partial rH5toration of elec- tric service had been effected.

VICTORIA OFFERS
TASTE OF ENGLAND

VICTORIA, September ia bit
Of England, transplanted to North
America. lies almost next door to
Seattle, awaiting the traveller who
makes his Winter trip to California
via the Northwest, one way. "Out-
Englshing the English" the quaint
little city Of Victoria Is A. decided q
contrast to busy, bustling Seattle or
Vancouver-from either Of which It
Is approximately four hours sail-as
is the change to the steamship from
the train.
Situated ON . protected arm Of the
Strait Of Juan de Fuca, Victoria Is at
the southern point Of Vancouver Is
land, although the city of that name
Is not on this island at all, but on the
mainland. As the ship from Seattle
enters the tiny harbor ocean liners
have to dock at point outside the
inlet) the lawns Of the parliament
buildings and Of the ivy-clad Empress
Hotel, which come down virtually to
the waters edge, form verdant borders
to the harbor.
Once ashore. and past the sight
seeing drivers importuning one to see
"Mr. Butchart's famous gardens" the
serenity Of Victoria impresses itself
upon the visitor-a peaceful little city
which permits neither the Importance
Of being the capital Of British Colum-
bia nor the more mundane business Of
catering to travellers to interfere with
the midweek half holiday or the gen.
eral placidity Of life.
