COMMUNICATED “One of Many” Opposes Municipal ' Dance Pavilion As Meaace To Moral Weltare of Young People Fditor New Britain Herald: Dear Siri— The resolution in council to build a public dancing pavilion in Walnut Hill park seems most unfor- tunate, and the argument of revenue to be derived therefrom would seem to indicate the city's willingness to place temporary financial henefit ahove ultimate citizenship built on good morals and characte This does not imply that all who dance in pri- vate, friendly groups or in public with ngers are stabted on the down- ward path.
