COMMUNICATED No Political Gain to Aid Jobless Editor Herald:— If aiding unemployed would pro- mote campaigns, it would be done quickly; if there were political ad- vantages to be gained by champion- ing the cause of unemployed, this problem would have been tackled long ago. The unemployed do not make campaign contributions, they do not control any portion of the press through which they might bring their misery home to the peo- ple of New Britain; they maintain no lobby in city hall to tell their depressing story to their representa- tives in common council. Their only spokesmeh are those who have responded to the common call of humanity; the only advocates of their cause are those who pursue the welfare of our city, irrespective | of party advantages. In view of the way times are at present under control of the stand- patters, fhe Conn. Light & Power Co. is on this year's grand list for $11.000; the New York, New Haven & Hartford, $199.500; the Southern New England Telephone Co., $83.000 and a new assessment to be made, maybe. It sure looks like a tough winter for the workers of our city. Fac- tories closing down and food prices going sky high. It looks like hit- with the empty It be devised in which a wants to work could be steady employment and a decent living wage. I would sug- gest a standard five day week at eight hours per day together with a system of stabilized production vhere possible, in which slack and busy seasons would be eliminated. This has been tried in several large manufacturing concerns and has been proven to have worked out to the satisfaction of all concerned However, the people who suffer the most are the very ones who are to blame. They cannot vote the old machines back into office and expect them to legislate to the workers' It just simply isn't being done. There seem to be a great op- portunity and of course a great re- sponsibility for those who call them- lependent at this time. A era is dawning in which the thoughtful and sérious-minded will have attention and when the peopi become interested in the welfase of the city, much can be accomplished for the good of all They must first be taught to rea ize that the government belongs to the people of the city and is their own husiness and if it is successful it must be attended to in a business- like manner or it will fall just as sure as any other business. For many years past the city govern- ment has been operated by privata interests because the independent voters could not awaken the masses to the real situation in our sta: pat form of government The privilege seekers and political agents cry for political regularity, that the status quo be maintained. If you have an issue of worth, the machine will follow like a whipped cur behind you.

COMMUNICATED The \Hmlnl; u[ lhl‘ Parks Editor, Herald Once again the Ci 2nother seriou: It seems ssion have ¢ ty Fathers have problem on their the City Plan ] just discovered there e twenty-four parcels of land, which they term as parks, ,\mm the confines of the city lim= its, and now the selection of appro- priate names for these twenty-four park lands so called, is causing them no little anonyance. In the opinion of the writer some of these parccls of land are barely deserving of the appellation of park, let alone, hon- oring some national or international igure by naming a particular plot in their recognition. Granted however that these vari- ous parcels are entitled to be called parks, and that there should be a name selected for them, it is. the writer's humble opinion, that ths names chosen, should be those of local celebrities in preference to others. After all, New Britain has quota of distinguished citizens, both past and existent and if any honors should be conferred, why not apply that ancient and time worn, but nevertheless still effective saying of “Charity should begin at home.” Cor its HARRY ZEVIN( Observations On The Weather Washington, July 19 for Southern New England: Partly cloudy and continued warm Satur- day and Sunday, probably scattered thunder showers Sunday atfernoon.
