There were, however, two or three who had lost in weight due either to the loss of rest, food or too much exercise. One small lad who had jost one and thrge-quarter pounds Within the week, was questioned by Dr. Lee, At first he was a bit timid as though he did not know just what to say but he evidently thought it would be hest to tell the truth so in reply to the question asked him, he said: “Me and another fellow chased a truck almost to Berlin to hook ride and then we didn't get one so we had to walk back.” Dr. Lee explained to the present that it was the extra exertion on the part of the child caused by his run to Berlin which made him weight. Another small girl had lost about one pound in weight and upon ques- tioning her Dr. T.ee found that she had been forced to go after coal and drag it home on a sled. There were | two cases where the children had | lost weight because of negligence. They had either forgotten their after- rest period or had not eaten that the class as a whole is doing exceedingly well but the scholars who | are progressing the best are those whose parents co-operate with school officials,. The mothers are re- quested to attend each class which is to | held on Monday afternoons and wateh the progress of the child, They are often times called upon by Lee to state the improvements they have noticed in their sons or daughters, New Britain is one of the few cities in Connecticut which has a nu- although sueh classes are found in many Massachusetts ' towns and cities. Dr. l.ee expressed the hope yesterday that the day will come when such classes arc con-| ducted in every school in New Brit- | ain, not only at the Open Air school. WILL LIVE IN CALIFORNIA J.

O'Conner of 342 South Main street, the oldest motorman in re of service employed the New ritain division of the Connecticut ecompany, has completed his 36th year of service as & motorman on the street cars of this eity, Mr. O'Connor has been employed by the Connecticut com since it ae- quired the New Britain trolley lines pome years ago, but previous to that time was employed by the private concerns which operated trolleys in New Britain, When he first began to work on the trolleys the motormen and conductors were obliged to stand in vestibules which were not enclosed, It was nec- pasary for both the men to wear heavy fur coats in the winter in order to keep warm, Although the cars were operated by electricity there were no electric heaterd within the trolleys to keep the passengers warm such as there are today. There were amall stoves in tho center of the car heated by burning elther coal or wood and it was neces- sary for the conductors to keep the fires burning, With the exception of the Hartford route the cars on all other lines in those days were about the size of the cars now operated on the East Main and Chestnut street lines, They served the people in Berlin, Plainville, East Main street, Chestnut street and Hart- ford. There were no cars running to Farmington avenue or to Belvidere, “Motormen in those day had to be more cautiou vhen operating their cars at night than they do today,” Mr, O'Connor sald, “Inasmuch as there were no arc lights to throw rays sev- eral feet ahead of the car to show the motorman whether or not he had a The small ordinary bulbs were used. A few years:after Mr. O'Connor en- tered the employ of the street rail- way company side doors were placed in the vestibules of the cars and later the type of car such as is operated on the Chestnut. street line, was brought | to New Britain. In the summer time open cars were operated on all lines even to Hartford. Open cars have practically been done away with since the installation of the one man cars on most of the city lines and the new system of paying fares on the Hart- ford line. It is an interesting fact to note that 25 years ago when the population of New Britain was much smaller than ‘what it is now the cars ywere operated on the 20 minute schedule on the East Main and Chestnut street lines the same as they are today. The Berlin trolleys ran through to Plainville but the trips were not made as frequently as they are at present. Mr. O'Connor believes that in pro- portion to the growth of the city the people of today ride on the trolleys as often as they did 25 years ago. The service at that time, however, was not as quick and dependable as at pres- ent. *. { John and Michael Igoe are the only | two other employes of the company who have been in service for a longer period than Mr. O'Connor. They are line while Mr. O'Connor is operating a car on the Hartford line. BUS FOR HIRE Private Parties, Etc.
