ENCAMPMENT HELD AT HARTFORD * DR. O. S. DAVIS. ———————— Reports Show 155 Deaths During made his home since. In. a talk which followed the geeting of friends, Dr. Davis stated that the world of today is in two moods, one of bewilderment ) the other of rebellion. To stgingthen his argument he said in pa) “In 1914 the old world left ha and the new world began. We must admit that the late war has ged conditions considerably. The actual fighting by the soldiers, the airplanes, soing over the top, the cry of ‘vic- tory,” have all been heard and seen and are now over but the actual war is still on in regard (o the industrial and sgeial conditions of the commun- ities throughout this country. “The heart of the problem in each community is to find other objectives equally as high, as worthy and as magnificent to take the place of the military and-to mobilize everyone to the achievement of other ideal ends. There are four great things that need to be done In order to accomplish this. One ia 1o better the generation of to- day to make things wn life much bet- ter agwein for the coming gemerntion. By the bdnilding of many m and the ajd of all schools this can be “As a second point in this argsament I want to bring out the real meaning of the word ‘neighbors.’ We should have ‘peighboriyism’ and break down the barriers of race and oreed. We all know that this cannot be belped. It is true that in every town various groups of one nationality will build up a section and ofttimes keep away from the others. This should not be and I urge everyone here as a Rotar- ian to be neighberly with all the peo- ple. For the third point, I bring out strongly the economic problem and as the fourth and last, that of interna- tional relationship and although we do not havo to adhere to the League of Nations we should not give up the idea of stopping future wars after what our boys have géme through and fought for.” Mr. Davis’ talk was applanded loud- ly and if time had permitted he would have been forced to - continue his speech for a much longer period. Leon Sprague ther called upon Post- master Willlam ¥. Delaney who gave a talk on “Postal Conditiens in New Britain."’ Postmaster ml.uny gave many in< terestMg statistics in his talic relative to the work of the New Britain post office. In part he said: “i will ga back to a little bit of history and state that the first post office was in a coffee house in Boston and that Benjamin Franklin was the first post- master general. In the olden days it cost five cents an ounce to deliver a letter and it also took ene month's time in making the trip from New York te Philadelphia. “Getting into New Britain, 1 would Mke to state that local conditions are not so bad considering the problem which is eonfronting me in not having enough room at the present building. to show the business has grown since the buflding was buflt in 1910, it will be seen that in that year $104,000 worth of business was transacted. In 1915, $145,000, and at the close of 1920, $192,000. There are at pres- ent 72 men emfloyed in the whole postal department for New Britain. Twelve new clerks have been secured in the past five years and every one of them are forcel to work In tight corners and are badly hampered for lack of room. “Over 30,000 letters a day pass through this office and an innovation is that of working nights to accom- modate the public. If we did not | work mights the mail could not be handled as satisfactorily as it is. Public Should Be “Ihere are several things thatthe public should be informed upon, the first of which is correct addresses. The clerks oftentimes must, throw | aside a letter improperly addressed and of course that makes a delay in its delivery. Another factor is that if you have not got a mall box or a slot In the door please answer the ring when the mail man lea: package. 1f you do not, whit and this results being an hour or so late at the last on_the rout p Tran 12% ifle 1Y 1% 4% 8t Alco . ‘nished by Richter & Co.)
