Not that New Britain people don't like to dance. They do, but the at- traction of the public dance is not cnough to bring large crowds any more. Dancing is just an item in the evening's fun now-a-days, and unless atmosphere, food, entertain- ment and such like are coupled with it, it doesn't go. Time was when public dances at- tracted large crowds which gathered just to enjoy themselves. Fifty cents was the usual price, and the people who attended used to have a whale of a time. The appearance in New Britain of an orchestra that was at all famous was the signal for the populace, at least the younger mem- bers of it, to turn out en masse. But now-a-days things are differ- ent. There are ten large halls in New Britain, and the man who was | interviewed vouchsafed to say that only one of ghem is capable of draw- ing a large croyd. And that's no reflection on the halls themselves. It is mercly that the idea of dancing only dancing docs not appeal as it did. | | Hotcl ballrooms, night clubs and ! |road houses draw a goodly wuimber lof people from New Britain. The | dance places in Hartford are visited Inightly by New Britain people. |Why? 1In the opinion of the gen- tleman interviewed it is because of that new kind of entertainment, “at- | mosphere.” Of course, the dance | |music must be good. But danc!nl{' |is only incidental, for some reason ‘or other. The radio may have something to do with it. The chance to hear the best orchestras in the country al- most every night in the week may cause people to want something more than just dance music and dancing. It may be that people are gathering in partics of four or six at some out-of-town ballroom or night club and having their own fun in their own way. The cost doesn’t seem to enter it at all. And again, it may be that they want to emu- |late as far as possible thelr brothers and sisters in the Big City, who visit | night clubs and hawe an all-around Britain used to be. [appear on | ting place were to be established in N Britain, with a ten-piece dance ¢ chestra and the “atmosphere’” of night club, it would draw 1 crowds. But, again, it may be just the ¢ sire for something new. Howeyve according to the orchestra lead: New Britain is not the dance tow: it used to be, and that's all there is to it, as far as he is concerned The news bulletin has been | the front window of the Herald o fice for four years and one can ai most tell the time of day by noti ing who is reading it. Shortly afic) the morning bulletins are printed faces appear from the window across the street and people bob of doors. Ftom then on, trucks by slowing up to get the latest ang. to the news. There are about of these “regulars” who while driy- ers have to go down or up Chu street anyway, €0 they are expected to get the habit. Many Main street merchants find time to drop arounc to see what goes on. One can al- most tell the size of the mail a merchant receives by the time he shows up to take a “squint” at the bulletin, It's a fact that Monday morning, when the mail is much larger than usual, the regulars arc a bit late. If a few of the boys don't Friday morning, you'l know that they are in the fish busi- ness and can't get away, and so it goes. The most interesting spectators are the ones who are called to the bulletin because they are interested in a certain event. Last Thursday, the Herald bulletined the finding of Ruth Elder by a Dutch tank steam- er. All morning long, there were strange faces looking at the bulle- and as there was no news at that time on the board their faces showed plainly that they were dis- appointed. Strangers talked with each other saying they hoped that Ruth would make it, and that they were hoping against hope that she wasn't lost. Then would follow a general exchange of ideas, between ministers, truck drive busine n, factory heads or body e who happened to be arcund. Noon hour witnessed the “regulars who come this way from all the factories ind thousands of interested in the flight., When it wis printed that Ru'h was safe, they ran off to tell their friends. It would be ideal it good mews only were printed on the bulletin, but accidents also have to be put others who were |up for the public to read, and many times a tragedy son reading hap. 1t is a ader is is enacted by a per- about his friends or who have been in a mis- strange thing that every “a selt appointed watch dog” of the spelling on the board Two minutes is the average life of a mistake on the board, anybody from a policeman, to a taxi driver has his keen eve word not spelled correctly. 1It's all in a spirit of cooperation and the Herald ppreciates jt. On the statistical side of 1t, guess work would place the amount of white paper used daily at 17 feet, then allow 1400 publication days in the four years which would make 23,500 feet used. Extra huletins, such as late reports, football scores, clection returns, ete., would bring the total well over 30.600 or almost six miles. To take a rough guess at the number of people reading it would look like the census of the state of Connecticut. As time gocs on, more and more citizens are joining the ‘“regular” and friends are being made daily by the Herald's bulletin service, upset by a class, ~ Observations On The Weather Washington for Southern Partly cloudy Saturday; day increasing cloudiness and warmer.
