ot New Brit Mall Matter. NOW WE SLIPPED In examining the percentage of industrial decline during 1937 one's eye naturally rivets to the hardware column. If anyone in New Britain has been of the impression the hardware business bhas suffered seriously the past year it is time to take heart. For it hasn't. Getting down to bedrock quickly here is the fact: The hardware trade suffered a de- cline of only 7.3 per cent during 1927, which is far below the leaders in the industrial decline league. Omitting the fractions let's com- pare a few of them: Shipbullding declined 21 per cent; plano and or- | gan manufacturing, 20; stove mak- erwise | ing, 19; petroleum refining, 17; cast this sudit. traud ta Bewspeper to both Dational end : wale auily i3 New " .-"'o.

The percentage might be higher, but we are using ten per cent only as an illustration of what we mean.

No Other’ in Country ‘The first steps have already been taken in this direction. It will be to the state what the city fire depart- ments ‘are to .their respective com- munities, and calls for trajned fire shovels' and other fire, fighting wea- pons, and the location of ‘motor truck pumps at strategic points around the state, It is believed that no other such state forest fire de- partment exists in the country. This acheme was outlined today by State Forester Austin F. Hawes and C. H. Lathrop, assistant state forest fire warden while discussing the pro- gram for the spring meetings of county fire wardens scheduled to be- &in next week. The first meeting will bs for New Haven county wardens; in New Ha- ven, Ilebruary 27, The second will be held at Danbury on February 28 for wardens of Falirfleld county. Hart- ford and Middlesex county wardens will meet together at Middletown on March 7, and Windham and Tolland county wardens will also combine, meeting at Willimantic on March 14. The New London county meeting, which will include a visit to the sub- marine base, will be at New London on March 9. The date for the Litch- fleld county wardens has not been set. In Early Stage The plan for permanent state wide protection against forest fires is at present in the experimental stage, with 10.trained crews estab- lished and equipped and ready at & moment’s notice. These crews com- prise six to 10 men each, selected from voluntary applicants by the district fire warden and placed un- der a crew captain responsible for equipment and keeping his men pre- pared for emergency.
