He haa negotiated the breakers successfully on the starboard hand of the channel to the west of Church y the the street and was cruising cast coast Central P with wind abeam and all speed Arriving at the south terminus of Central Park he took hix departure from that point and steered due South for South Church point, His dead recko O. K., the speedameter was a 1y checking off the knots, there was no protest from the engine room and the skipper was cxceedingly cheerful The night was dark but clear and his searchlights would amply warn him impending breakers. Suddenly there was a cry from the lookout trange lighthous sir,” “Where a ¥'* bawled the skipper in his best skipperess. ““Two points on the port bow.” Cocking his weather 40 around the windshield the skip- r spotted a strange apparition ‘n- deed “Twas a light-house and strange one to the skipper who had the waters of Main street for a year. It flittered and blink»d in a manner that was unknewn to the navigator, “Full speed astern, have to, mind your helm' and a few other nautical terms were transkted into appiving the brankes of the Whistling Six until the headwny was reduced to practically nothing. The light was approached wartly. It llad an odd appearance Besides the fantastic biinking of the light it became evident that it was set upon a yellow tower and encased in white globe that had a green stripe runeing horizontal amidship. Vainly the skip- per consulted his charts and bhis Bowditch together with the latest hulietin of menaces to navigation as published by the police. No such light was mentioned, “‘Keel haul me if 1 know wht it's about,” he said, and out to Investigate. Whereupon it became evident to him that the thing was a new traflic post just ecrected, set upon a base hcavy enough to eom- pletely wreck even his Whistling Six should it run upon it. “Blum it's all right to put a light on them darn rocks™ he sald, “but 1'll be darned it 1 know what In thunder they put the'racks there for unless it was to hold up the light. They're getting so much stuff in the channels thesc days to keep you running straight that it ain’t safe to run at all.” Hav- ing ridden himself of this observation he proceeded back to the helm of the Whistling Six and spent a half hour making up charts with the new light and making mental resolutions to proceed at quarter speed should it became necessary to round South Churech point in a fog, At that it ain't safe” was his partmg remark as he took a new departure and proceedad Into less obstructed seas e T0 TELL CITY’S NEEDS of rad Ing wa irate- of got his Rev.

This statement is made by the members of the local department who are ap- pealing to citizens not td defeat tne appropriation for the two-platoon system which means so much to their comfori. Other cities in the state which have established the system are New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford, Water- bury, Stamford, Danbury, Norwalk and Middletown. According to the firemen, the system has been benefi- cial to the cities in which it has been introduced and has improved tha morale of the departments by attract- ing men of a higher type who would ordinarily decline to consider such cmployment. Prominent clergymen througnout Connecticut havo endorsed the two- platoon system as it permits firemen to discharge their religious duties freely. TUnder present conditions, many firemen ara forced to forego attending church on Sunday as they find it inconvenient\to absent them- selves from their stations long enough. Such an influential religious paper as the Catholic Transcript has printed a thorough description of the svstem. laying particular stress on its permitting members of the depart- ment to attend church. Firemen state that, by personal in- quiry, they have received assurance that the two-platoon system will be supported at the city meeting and they are encouraged to continue working for their cause. While they realize that there is a certain amount of opposition to the proposition they are confident that they can convince enough voterg to speak In the affirin- ative to make the system an assured fact.
