It was while he was “dickering” with a set that he had come to find out how to eliminate unnecessary interference. According to his state ment a great deal of interference is caused by electrical motors, such as found in neighboring factories, elec- trical motors in the home used in the refriferation system, generators in power houses and passing trol- leys, which can be eliminated by placing a proper condenser in the objects that produce that noise. To illustrate his point, Mr. Ornsten took an electrical which, although it had a compara- tively small motor, produces enough humming and noise to interfere with the clarity and volume of re- ceiving, connected it with an tric socket and let it run. The hum- ming noise immediately came over the radio drowning to a certain ex- tent the music which was being broadcast at the time. He then placed a small condenser in the sweeper, turned it on again, and the | music came through clearly despite the running of the motor in the car- pet sweeper. This same procedure applies to large motors, which cause heavy interference, he claims, and with a proper condenser to fit the need of a given motor all unece sary noises can be eliminated, with- out diminishing the power of the motor. Tn many sets it is also possi hle to prevent noises by disconnects ing some of the wires in the sct, he claims. Mr. Ornsten expects to organize a local circuit of radio owners in the near future and hopes to cut down the interference and thereby improve receiving conditions. business in is minding The most life for cach his own bu Providence important individual ne we to each person the responsibility of ordering his own life. He may take an interest in other lives but his big job is to 50 live his own life that when he writes “finis” the job will be well the in- ion de h logue includes jinetion Thou shalt love th neighbor” but it does not suggest that love be carrfed to the extent of interfering with others. | This world is such a busy place [ that it does not seem possible any- one has enough time to mind his own affairs let alone trying to run the other fellow. But the most fascinating game in life scems to be to try to regulate jother people’s conduct, Jach person has his own stand- rds, his own ideas of what is pro- per, and he spends at least part of his time trying to impose those standards on others, In this respect too many people are zealous cru- saders, demanding that all others conform to their viewpoint. | Life is so short and days are so crowded it's remarkable how many people find time to devote attention to what the other fellow is doing. Appeal to law making bodies has | fascination for folks who do not 'ike the way the world is revolving. Their idea is that relief by law is the correct thing if their personal persuasive powers fail. | As long as people afe humans, cach with individual reasoning ma- chinery, this planct will be a con- zlomerate mass of conflicting ideas. 1t the busybodics could exert their infiuence, it would be reduced to a | common level of customs and man- | ners—preferably their customs and manners. A | There should he four eight-hour | periods in the day to allow snoopers | opportunity to exercise their tongues —cight hours for work, eight hours | for play, eight liours for sleep and | cight hours for snooping. | The privilege of regulating the | conduct of others is an inheritance ifrom the Puritans, who wouldn't have a deck of playing cards in the house but would burn women on suspicion of being witches. When the Puritans landed it s reported that the first man to step | foot on land shouted: “Now let's | pass some laws to show the other | | folks here Tiow they must live. cver sinee, the spirit of Puritanism, |as reflected in the desire 1o boss {others, has had a strong hold. Minding our own business should be one of our chicf occupations. Let's not neglect our business. Mayor Paoncssa’s rather generous /leaning out of commissions and city hall offices during the past week naturally gives rise to the age-old question of political practice. Is there an cxeuse for the so-called po- litical axes is it justified and needed s some will ciaim, or is it a men- ace to government and a custom that should be frowned on by good citizens? The events of the week brought forth much comment. As might be der the political guillotine, their friends und followers raised rim. Those who were appointed to office |could not very well defend the ad- ministration by attempting to justify | the appointments since it would be in the nature of self-praise which, | 29 all of us know, goesa short way. The sum total then, is an unfavor- able reaction as far as outward ex- pressions go. Yet it does seem that “shake-ups” would not come &0 consistently and under all political administrations if there was not some justification. hat both political parties to whom the government of New Britain has leen entrusted from time to time 1esort in some degree to the spoils system is an established fact—that e ill continue to do o will { probably not he disputed. What, then, is the justification? Politics cannot be taken out of government, or government out of polit No elective or appointive official in the government of this city holds office today who is not a recognized member of one or the | other political party. He is either | placed on a ticket and elected as a | republican or as a democrat. or he ! |ts.appointed_to a board to fill_one carpet &weeper, | So, | expected, the officials who went un- | T | of the places that is allotted to one jor the other of the political parties. Basically, his election or his a :poim.meu! is a political one. Non: | but the most profeund egotist would |claim that the opposite politicz! 'mup reached into the party, with i which he is affiliated and picked | him out for service as a represent: | tive, not of the republicans or the | democrats, but as an example of | free-from-politics citizen. | If an administration is a success the credit does rot go to the 17 Loards serving under the mayor or to the common council, but to the ayor himself. Likewise, if it is a failure, he must take the enus, But once in the last quarter of a eentury has there been a change of mayora when the political situation remain- ed unchanged. This was in 1929 when O. F. Curtis, a republican, succeeded George A. Quigley, also # republican. Ths Curtis and Quigle | camps were €0 widely split that | there was at least as much, df not more, divergence of opinio and policy as if a democrat had succeed - €d a republican. Curtis could not be expected to allow Quigley to make his appointments, yvet such weuld have been the case had he not given ! the roster of officials a thorough overhauling, which he did. In this same maunner, a republican could not be expected to hold the demo- cratic sclections, men who for twe br more years had been schooled in | the democratic party’s way of doing things and who owed a certain amount of allegiance to the Jeffer- sonian group. Following the same line of reasoning why should Mayor Paonessa be expected to allow the ship of state sail on with the same cref under a strange skipper? If cooperation among boards and tha mayor's office amounts to anything, land it is generally considered that it does, there would seem to be jus- tification for changes. If none but | the office of mayor were to he | changed, would not the election ba more or less a formality? Wouldn't the boards be justified in ignoring the mayor and refusing to carry out his policies if they were not strictly in accord with those of the preced- ing administration? Would not the democratic system of government have been a failure, and a monarch more appropriatec? What would b the use of political parties when a permanent organization had been set up M the city government which would not be amenable to changes and new policies of rule? There are not a few who agrer that the system followed out in the federal government, where each president appoints his own cabinet members, 1s not a total failure, Yet there s little difference in the gen- eral policy followed out by the may | or's office. Individual cascs, of course, should | be 80 considered, but it is very sel- | dom a man elected mayor who has not been a close student of city government and its officials. Tt | not unreasonable to suppose that he, | perhaps in a better meadure than | 99 44.100 per cent of the populace 1is in a position to say whether u certain official or employe has becn or will be a drag on the government. | His duty is to run the government. "Il he fails the stigma is on him. There are few placed in that pos tion who would not do considerable uprooting. Perhaps, in short, the { | clinations of human nafure explain | political shake-ups; selt preserva- i tion, which the first law of nature, | is the justification. 34,002 WORKERS HERE BASED ONNEW SURVEY | i | | is | (Continued from First Page) | saged population.
