Principal | @mong these is a bill to close motion picture theaters on Sundays. The “blue law” drive in Connecticut is merely an offshoot of similar move- ments in other states, notably our neighbor, New York, and the whole can probably be classified as reaction from the period of personal freedom during the war. As long as the world lasts, we shall most likely be annoyed by that specie of human being who likes to thrust out his chest and let the world know that he is a reformer. Many of them are well meaning; others seek the limelight. The matter can be disposed of easily. Give them a little publicity and their vanity will be satisfied after which they car be counted upen io disappear until a new appetite for notoriety attacks them. The con- scientious reformer does not deserve harsh treatment. He needs education, He should be told that mild amuse- ment even on Sunday does not un- | dermine public mor2T= and that this form of amusemen! :.ccts with pop- ular response.

Satan’s kingdom to attend an exhibi- tion of the “Passion Play?” If it is proper to watch the ‘“Pussion Play” on the screen why is it improper to watch any other picture in which a clean story is told? To say that one is proper and another is not proper is to set up a fictitious standard. There are thousands of people who do | i not believe in Chirst and, while re- specting beliefs of . their Christian neighbors, have been educated in other creeds. To these the “Passion ! Play”” must seem to be nothing more !than a story. It would not stir them, as it stirs Christians, Restricting the | { “‘movies” to plays of this kind would neither improve their morals nor have the opposite effect. So far as New Britain is concerned, | motion pictures on Sunday have stood "the test. This is demonstrated by the throngs that attended performances on Sunday evenings, well behaved and seem to have re- spect for the day, No doubt, this is likewise the case in other cities. Well regulated entertainments on Sunday have won popular approval and if the legislatures want to learn the opinon . | of people living in cities they should be brought to a thriving community like New Britain, for example, and see for themselves that we are Iin mo By ROBER Government: Tax lax spending. getting; Mr. Harding apears to believe in one-man inauguration. — Money still talks well, but it has lest is reputation as a good mixer.

Many cititzens will dis- agree with this statement, but re- flection will show them that they are in error. During the past week hearings have been held before the board of finance and taxation an proposed appropria- tions for the coming fiscal year. A sincgre desire to conduct affairs on as little moncy as possible has been evi- dent in the attitude of some of those who appeared to speak for their de- { partments, Efficiency must always be ! considered in connection with the ap- ! propriation desired and while (he figures may secm large it should be ! recognized that New Britain is grow- ing and expenses must grow apace. This year, as always, there is criti- | cism of the school department. How- ever. the board of education has asked for little more than last year, this in spite of the fact that our school ! facilities are being utmost to accommodate the ever in- creasing army of children who are entitled to an education. Economy is not apparent in every quarter of the government and it is probable that the board of finance and taxation will think twice before granting all the funds asked for. *ax One effect of the shortened work- ing schedules in the factories is to bring people out onto the streets afternoons. Crowds of men and wom- | en promenade Main street daily in the | sunshine, especially during the latter tries are closed. It is a noticeable fact also, that a number of men wheeling i baby carriage increasecs after Wednes- day. It is not an unusual sight to see numbers af fathers taking their coo- ing offspring out for a joy ride, Comment has been heard on ihe business the theater are doing. It was believed that amusements would he ! bluepenciled on the family expense be amused even | to economize on other expenses. The | matinee crowds do not seem to dimin- ish and long queues of “fans"” can be seen standing before theater en- | trances waiting patiently for their tickets. *xw Never in the history of New Britain have so many merchants advertised on such a wide scale. This reflects a healthy viewpoint on the part of business men who seem to be con- verted to the truth that advertising is a necessity in a prosperous business strained to the | park of the week when many indus- | | book, but apparenly the people will | if they are forced | pros iness houses on the main thorough fare.
