Brewster to Have Charge. S0 rapidly has the New Britain “resh Air camp grown that the pres- | ent buildings are entirely inadequate to handle the demand for increased | facilities being made this summer, ac- | cording to Miss Ventlie Logan, secre- tary and one of the founders of the | camp. | The officials have decided to take boys and girls for the entire 10 weeks {to the fullest capacity of the present | buildings, “including the barn which | has been used as a sleeping place for older boys for the past iwo or ihree years, The buildings however will not accommodate more than half the num- ber of undernourished children in the city who need a few weeks of sun- shine, fresh air and expert supervision to help bring back the glow of health. The entire capacity of the camp is 365 children, for a two week period, or a total of 730 child weeks. This maximum is reached by taxing the camp to its utmost and yet it is not half enough for what is needed. The officials of the camp will not accep* a child who is less than seven per cent under weight, yet the school nurses Misses Cecelia Mechan, and Nellie and Mary O'Brien and Dr. V. J. Smith have a list only partially com- plete of more than 400 children who are more than 10 per cent under weight., This 400, comprising only a | partial list, is in addition to the 300 or more children who were accommodat- ed last year. Asked what she was going to do about it, Miss Logun said she did not know, that unless some miracle hap- pened to build an addition to one or both of the present buildings, or to put up a new building, several hun dred children were going to be dis- appointed, Camp Officials e The camp officials have selected as general camp director this year, Searle M. Brewster, Mr, Brewster has heen playground supervisor in this city for the last two or three yoars. He is physical director at the Central Junior High school and holds the rank of captain in the officers’ reserve corps of the U, 8 army, He is an overseas man and has been a leader in ath. leties and training all his life, He came to this city from Hartford where he was a physical director at the Hartford high school. He will select his own assistants as eounsellors to handle the hoys and will have personal charge of Mill stones as well, Assisting Mr, Brow. ster and in charge of Brookside will be Miss Ventlie Logan, who is in charge of tuberculosis relief work in the city and has been secretary of the [¥'resh Air camp ever simee it was or | ganized. Brookside, which is a new house re cently added te the camp, will be open all summer this year, and will be un- der the personal supervision of Miss Logan, Three girl counsellors will be selected by a committce consisting of | Miss Logan and Mrs, James H. Rob. /inson. One of the girls also will act as matron, | No special dietician will be engaged |this year, since the dietetic program, |whieh has been worked out previously by Miss Logan will be followed out this year and she will assist Mr, Rrew. |ster in followi: it out, Nrookside Kept Open The plan has been adepted of de- voting half of the 10 weeks to hoys |and the other half to girls, in both ’hnulr‘l rather than elosing down the Brookside house after the first five weeks this year. Everyone on the |staff probably will remain the entire |H\ weeks | Brookside will he used exclusively for children needing special care, |whose physical defects exclude them trom the regular eamp activities, Mr, Brewster plans to make a change in the program and will adapt the pro- gram to tha ehildren this year, rather than making the ehildren fit the pro- gram Miss Anna Deutsch, who has been cook ithere for several years, has been engaged In a similar capacity this year The camp will open on June 24 The children are being examined now |over a zig |halting Kubetin some distance | sion of superior court, | were merely assisting they |ery, hy Dr. S8amuel Delann, an expert on this type of work and are heing grouped and classificd according to thele physical defects.

New Britain Fresh Air Camp is in Need of Additional Buildings WEDDING LIQUOR GETS MAN IN JAIL Kubetin Sentenced for Driving = “Car Under Influence of Drink Following his plea of guilty to a charge of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor, I'red Kubetin of 69 Wilson street Hartford, was today sentenced to 10 days in jail by Judge William C. Hun- gerford in police court. Patrolman John Nolan was in the vicinity of East street about last night when his attention was at- tracted to an automobile procecding ag course. He shouted to the driver to stop. When his com- mand went unheeded, he command- eered another car and gave chase, down the highway. At the policeman’s or- der, the driver alighted and the pur- suer was convinced Kubetin was not in condition to drive a car. He was arrested, Today the accused driver said he was at a wedding and had been drinking. He admitted having been under the influence of liquor, Reckless Driver Fined $25 Vito D'Amico of 420 Myrtle street, also arrested yesterday after giving the police a chase, was fined § and costs for reckless driving. Sergeant W. P, McCue and Patrol Driver Peter Cabelus were coming into the ecity from Hartford after attending a ses- In West Hart- ford they met a Hudson and a Stutz car, the latter making an effort to pass out the former and, according to their testimony this morning, the Hudson driven by D'Amico was tak- ing up most of the road. ¥rom the Sedgwice home near the New Britain town line to Wells street, the Hudson car went 45 miles an hour. At Wells street it slowed down for a short dis- tance, then picked up speed and \ant as far as the City Service station at a 45 miles an hour speed. Driver C'abelus, by speeding up to 55 miles an hour, was able to pass out the Hudson and bring it to a stop, D'Am- ico admitted his speed was, as the of- ficers had testified, 46 miles an hour. Three Held For Assault A continuance until tomorrow morning for the purpose of hearing additional evidence was granted in the cases of J. T. O'Koefe, George Brack- en and Joseph Neale, charged with as- saulting Bruno Chevciute, The com- plainant says he was beaten and roll- ed, while the accused men say they Bruno, who, 7 o'clock claim, was drunk, WIFE SUES HUSBAND FOR PARTITION OF PROPERTY Ellen M.

After his first drive around |the park under one-way system, he {said that he became interested and| walked over to the center on several | occasions to observe the manner in, which the system worked. He watched it from all points for | a time on each occasion and at no [time did he see anything that resem- ‘I-k‘rl a congestion, according to his statements, excepting at the time re- '{ruvd to previously by Mr., O'Connor. {He said that he was present “h(n. | that holdup occurred, but that was an | w\upnmml case, He also registered l s disapproval of the plan for cutting | m\‘ the north end of the park, saying | that nothing could be gained by such | n action, { A Mills Approves A. Mills expressed himself in of one-way traffic, saying that | [he found it was easier for his ma-| unlnns to travel in the center of the ' Oue Way System at Center Pro-| 1 ductive of Heated Arguments | \ i ‘ traffic occupied | The question of one-way about Central park again the limelight at t publie given last night by the ¢ committee to citizens who desired lcl‘l register eit 8 approv- al any which | have been proposed by the . committee A large number were present at the hearing although the majority re- mained silent, contenting themselves | ng to several business men | | expound arguments both for and | against the proposed ordinance, The | { committee postponed definite action | on the ordinance until a furthe slml)‘; was made of the situation, The only other proposed ordinance | that was the target of decided oppo- sition was the eliminating of the stops | at Center church and Court street for | the Arch street jitneys, and provid- | ing stops on the north side of the park. A petition against this change, signed by 350 patrons of the line, was | presented to the committee, and sev- eral appeared before the committee to register protests, Arch Street Patrons Win Point 1t was pointed out to the committee | that the busses on the Arch street line do not stop in the center of the city excepting to discharge and take on passengers, and therefore do not cause | any congestion, A decision was made | to allow the busses to continue stop- ping in front of the Center church and to change the stop from in font of the Y. M. C. A, to the Savings bank building. The proposed under several had been conform with suggestions that had been made, were approved by the committee for recommendation to the council, The committee voted for five minute parking on West Main street from Main to High streets, both sidc both day and night, The original pr posal allowed 30 minute parking be- tween Washington and High streets on the north side, and from Main street to the east line of the post office on the south side, Webster Hill Restricted recommendation was made that one-way traffie he put in effect on Webster hill to eliminate the danger that now exists at the corner of Arch ordinances and to parking consideration, after changed | A street when machines swing onto Arch | street from the hill. The committee voted for an ordinance providing for | one-way traffic in an easterly direce [ tion for the hill, Attorney George LoWilt was the first to take the floor after Chairman David L, Nair opened the hearing and | invited anyone who had any remarls | {to make concerning the proposed on:- way traffic ordinance to speak up, He opened his remarks by referring to the petition that had heen filed with the city council at its iast mecting, protesting against on v traffie at Central park and bearing the signa- tures of pructically every businses man in the center of the city, accord. ing to Atto:ney LeWitt says 8. M. Davidson Disapproves | He said that 8. M, Davidson had not signed the petition when it was cir- culated because he was favorable to the change at that time, but Attorney LeWitt said that a weck ago, Mr. Davidson approached him and told | him that he had changed his mind and that he was now opposed to onc- way traffic Anybody who tries to say that you ean drive around the parkswith one- way traffic coming from West Main street and get onto North Main strect more quickly than straight’down W Main is absurd, according to Mr. Witt, e said that they talk about 7,000 machines going down one side of the park during a day, but that they ne- glect to mention the people who are | Iy affected by such a stream of and who were not represented at the meeting. He said that such a heavy stream of machines made it exceedingly dangerous for pedestrians trying 1o cross the strecis going from to another. Instead of re- congestion, Attorney 1eWitt that traffie Le- seric auto one store Heving one-w ¢ a condition onnor Would Cat Off Walks Thomas W. O'Connor followed At- torney LeWitt and he produced a map which he displayed to the committee th passed around to ofhers ent at th ring. The map owed Central park and the center of the city as it is with the present 1 ks about the patk, and as it | would be it portions of the sidewalks it away, giving wider strects not inconveniencing people who d to use the walks. He claimed would still be plenty wide yugh to accommodate all who de- to them after they were pped. He said that he thought that tree at the northeast corner of should be eliminated, say he saw several peopie run one of them a woman who ner hat in doing so. #ald that one-way traffic has oved a success, giving as an in- am on the west side of the which 18 machines were held minutes, The ordinance ould be thanked for giv- he said, but another 1y should be worked up as one- has preved a failure. Andrews Favors Plan J. . Andrews of the Andrews, Swift & Co., told the committee that although he was not a Maln street property owner or business man, he wanted to make known his observa He said he 4 Ny and pr e t sidewa sire use the park ng that into it bro’ ark in i committee for severs) it a trvow ns of the system it was first propored, when | street | automobiles by. | teet, you will serve notice upon busi | the question was a business proposi- | He said that had | city under the system and that mvmv' hmc of his family find it very much afer crossing the streets as they only l\'\\.~ to look in one direction for ap-| yroaching machines, Before the one- way system was inaugurated, he said that his wife had two narrow escapes | | from belng run down. W. W. Leland Registers Opposition v traffic is O. K. if you want the nm:]nnrs to move quickly through the center of the city was the ‘open- | ing statement by W. W. Leland who told the committee that in putting; ne-way traffic in effect on the Main of the city, they were doing something that has not been done in of the cities much larger than New Britain, He said that the center s the battleground of the merchants and asked if it were wise to rush the | He said that he thought it would be better to keep the automobiles in the center of the city as long as possible instead of rushing them through. No Traftic Problem—McDonough “If you put one-way traffic in ef- any ness men and property owners in the center of the city that they have| been thrown into the discard” was the opinion expressed by Attorney Patrick 1. McDonough, He said that tion and n‘:lou]vl be approached from a business ‘man’s angle. He reiterat- ed a statement he made at preceding meetings that New Britain has no real | traffic problem to grapple with. Business Dropping Oft—Fagley William J. Farley said that mer- chants north of West Main street | were almost unanimous in the state- | ment that business has decreased as | a result of one-way traffic. He said | that the property on Main street north of West Main is the most highly as- | sossed property in the city, and he | was vigorously opposed to any ordi- | nance that would have a depreciating | cffect upon it. He suggested that the | ordinance committee consider the traffiec problem with a committee of business men and work out some scheme that would be satisfactory to everybody. He attacked the attitude that he elaimed some of the members of the committee had taken in the matter, he had heard several members of the ordinance committee say that they would listen to the pao- who have protests against one- way traffic, and then put it through. He branded the attitude as unfair, Mayor Compliments Committes, Mayor Paoncssa was present at the hearing on {nvitation of the lmlrd.’ and complimented the committee on the manner in which it has conduet. | ed the hearings and expressing his en- | tire confidence in the committee, He said that last year he had a confer- ence With officlals of the hoard of public works to sce if some plan could | not be formulated that would give more room in the center of the eity. He sald that his idea of a solution to the congestion in the ccenter has been more room and ngt one or two way | traffic. | He sald that ene thing that would | have to be eatablished was safety | zones for people boarding and leaving | ple | trolley cars along the park. Revise Recommendations, Following the hearing of arguments for and against any of the proposed traffic ordinances, the committee went into exccutive session considering all of the proposed ordinances excepting the one-way traffie. It was decided to leave consideration of that for a later meeting. Parking on Court and strects was changed from the Walnut north | | side to the south side of the street in view of the fact that protests had been received that parking on the north side would prevent people having driveways from using them. It was voted to prohibit parking on the south side of Myrtle street to the tussell & Erwin driveway, and then allow unlimited parking beyond the driveway In allowing the Arch street busses to retain their station in front of the Center church, the eom- mittee asked Chief William C. Hart of | the police department to see if some arrangement could not be effocted to have one of the north end busses stop at t} wrth end of the park. " | Comparisons are odiéus.
