The bread could set the night through now, Down from steep pines the sledge was coming Hearing the runners creak on snow she and the two cats started hummng

Modern design will be followed throughout This information ought to spur on Mayor George Coyle of New Bri- tain who is trying hard to get new station built over in the Hardware City, But the New Britain plan is more extens- i've than the Meriden one. Mayor Coyle wants more than a mere railroad station. He wants a terminal which nusses would stop to unload and take on passengers. There's lot to be said about this, out we would think that such plan would demand a lot of city and traction com. pany cooperation before the railroad would join the plan to rebuild the old station.

Rats

The rat is the enemy of the human race, a destroyer of food and property a carrier and spreader of disease. That is always true But one of the grimmer by- products of the bombing of London has been the increase of the rat menace, Rats who for uncounted generations have lived in old London buildings are being forced to seek new homes as those buildings are destroyed by bomb and fire, London reporter informs
 These migrations spread to new places the old and laten menace Of the rodent. London authorities are engaged in a a campaign against rats, fearful lest dis ease be spread by them under the ab- normal conditions of the city. Several American cities have already launched campaigns against our enemy, the rat, usually with WPA help This new Lon don story adds one more to the reasons why every city should join in.
