WILL WRITE SERIES ON PUBLIC AFFAIRY Benson Believes Many Are Un-i familiar With Gity Government The first edition ot thé Hardware City Magazine under the editorship of Ralph H. Benson, the new secre- tary of the Chamber of Commerce, has just been published, and in the opinion of many is a declded im- provement in the tone and policy. Mr. Benson is a man who is more or lees tamiliar with publicity and his first paper in New Britain is filled with newsy itmes of interest to the members of the chamber. In promising a series of articles on the city government, Mr. Benson in an ecditorial states: “New Britain, ward the conduct of public affairs, is probably as Interested as the aver- | In the opinion | ge American city. of experts, all communities suffer from the ailment of apathy which afflicts a great proportion of citizen: Tn the smaller boroughs and town- ships, where the scope of govern- ment corresponds in its smallness to the stability of population, the pro- portion of individual responsibility in public matters has been found to exceed that of the cities, yet condi- tions In the former have been found to he capable of improvement.

If, however, the articles prove interesting, and even in a small way increase the knowl- cdge of the readers, thelr publica- tion can be held worth while. acknowledged that many are not only disinclined to become interested in the city government, but feel public affairs are not theirs to be bothered about.

I switched to OLp Gorps.” A lot of men have made that change lately . . . and with it have made a big discovery. They found out for the first time that a real he-man's cigarette doesn’t need to be harsh and irritat- ing. Coarseness doesn’t mean strength.
