Grow Bumper Crop of Boys and Girls With All Around Development. Evangelist Linden preached a strong sermon at the First Baptist church ¥riday evening on the subject, Fam- fly Safety. He said in part: Family gafety is a subject which ought to be uppermost in parents’ minds and fathers and mothers of the right ring and stuff will give attention to it Safety for the family is found when God's invitation is accepted and that jnvitation is recorded in Genesis 7:1, “And the Lord sald untg Noah, Come -$hou and all thy family into the ark.” There is no hope Whatever for the spiritual safety of the boys and girls unless the family emperor and em- press, the father and mother of the home are safe in God's ark and are Bowing as humbler devotees at the whrine of Jesus Christ. The big aim fhen is to throw the responsibility of family safety upon the home makers @ned arouse fathers and mothers to get into the ark themselves and thus create the possibility of safety for their off spring.

Nafety fArst in child rearing is a mighty fine slogan and ought to be uppermost in the mind of every father and mother and this slogan' can be fully carried out only as God's invitation is ac- cepted, “Come thou and all thy fam- ily into the ark.” There is no doubt about it but what God is concerned about the spiritual safety .of all. His “Come to_safety Is in_ evidence everywhere. You wi find 678 “comes” between Genesis and Revelations and these “comes” are hurled at parents so that they might be the proper leaders of child life. The Bible also points out the sreat fact that just as soon as parents be- sky you We | 8in to consider the safety of their M hiome "tnat enemies will immediately | T hogai re tespo Y Brine in o put a blockade to the safe home com- | jarze number of recruits. = The re ing of all. This was trué In Noah's case when he built his ark of safety for his family but grim old Nosh be- lieved God and went on building his ark no matter how many snakes hiss- ed in the grass, and through 120 years of unparalielea’ patience he hammered away while the. croakers everywhere were gloating over his halluctnation but the time came when that ark of safety became a .mizhty refuge. Safety today is found in tne ark, Jesus Christ, and so the gospel invi- tation to fathers and mothers and to their offspring is, “Come, thou, with all thy family to Jesus Christ” He is an unfailing refuge and a great tower of strength in the time of need. In ups and downs, in fair and m foul weather, amid the sneers and praises of people, wend your footsteps toward Christ and safety and all will be well. Some folks if they are oing to bo admitted into the ark of safety, Christ, will have to clean up their lives for following Christ with a clean life is better than stock. It will be the elixir of life to draw on in old age. Special obligation rests upon the heads of families to bring the household to Christ. You cannot say to your children “Get in the ark” when out yourself. Progress is possible only when the homemakers do their full duty in the development of spir- itual life.

Coricerning the granolithic sidewalk which they have been ordered to lay in front of their property, the Breed bullding on Main’ street, fl I the follow- our acts by printed words, but we have decided to depart from our custom in regard to our refusal last fall to com- ply with the order of the court of common council ordering us to lay a granolithic walk in front of the Breed bullding on Main street, replacing the flagstone walk. As we were mentioned in the public press last fall as the only oitizens who had refised to join in the line of progress for new side- walks, and as the time is approach- ing when the contest must be renew- ed, we ask the privilege of stating our case to the public; more especially as we find many do not understand our position, and we think it is a matter of public interes Approve Good Walks. We approve of having the sidewalks of the city put in good condition. There is certainly need of it. We are willing to do our share, but we think the improvement should be made in & manner fair to all. We have lald 3,600 square feet (a total length of 600 feet) of granolithic sldewalk in the t four years. Let those who have ‘478 as much be the only one: accuse us of being unprogressive: progress and granolithic sidewalks are synonymous. When the order came for the Bregd building walk, we went to_the o of the chairman of the public works committee, Casper K. Dalley, to ig- qulrc about it, and were astounded to hear that he had not examined the walk and did not consider himself responsible for the order, although he ! had signed it. He told us that we must sec the mayor. We saw the mayor and told him we were willing to level and repair the walk, but we were informed by him that he pre ferred granolithic waks to flagstone and he would not be wiliing to have | the order changed. We. informed him that we had planned to qover the flagstone walk on the Church strect side of the Dreed bullding with tar, as the flagstones were small; and wo asked if he would order us to replace that walk with granolithic if we did 0. His reply was that he would not order it, but he could not tell what another administration wowd _do. What a position for the citizens if a change of administration means a change of sidewalks! Flagstones Better Than Cement. agstones are an accepted walk. Tn ew York city are found such walk on Fifth avenue, on 34th street near the Park Avenue hotel and otheré too numerots to mention. When the! walks have been widcned often cemen has been used. laying it beside the large flagstones of the original walk. This is true in Boston as well. These large flazstones cannot be obtained now cxcept at a_price prohibitive to most people. We are informed by contractors that the price is 40 cents a square foot for the stone. We and others deplore the economic was that has been committed in the de- struction of so many fine flagstones in this town. Contractors have informed us that large flagstones laid properly on cinders with a good foundation would outlast six of the granolithic walks. Recently we were on Riverside Drive, New York, near 90th street, and were surprised to see the granoiithic walks, which were In perfect condition a few vears ago, mow cracked and very imperfect and uneven in places. ‘We need not g0 out of Norwich to see this. The walk in front of the Boston store is already imperfect: the new curbing in front of the Wauregan is already beginning to disintegrate. Both of these were laid last fall. The walk in front of the Baptist parsonage on Broadway has a large plece split off at the seam. In an interview with the <ivil engineer he informed us that he had suggested ordering our cover- ing our Main street walk with tar, but the mayor was not willing. He wanted it granolithic. A person need not have been a keen observer durmng the past winter to have seen how much more slippery granolthic walks are than tar or flagstone. If the sur- face is left rough to remedy thelr slippery character, then the ice forms in a dangerous coating and sticks to the walk in nodules. Tar over flagstone makes a fine walk. The foundation is secure and the walk is not slippery. for the ice melts quickly on its dark surface. Always Willing to Level and Repair. We have always been willing to level or repair our Breed building walk, if needed: but that not being satisfactory we have asked the right to cover th Main street walk with tar. This re. quest has been refused and we have also been informed by the mayor through our attorney that if we do | cover it with tar the city will be obliged to “Tip it up” and jay a gran- olithic walk. Tar Walk the Best. The sidewalk at Breed building on the side of Washington square is a sharp pitch where a tar walk is the best. At this point the flagstones were covered with tar many years ago by_a former owner. ‘With the sanction of the mayor we have already covered the smail flas- stones on the Church etreet aide with. tar. Now we are willing to cover the waik on Main street and thus have a uniform walk around the building. V. prefer the flagstones but we are will ing to compromise by using tar. We note in the orders of the court of common council on Monday that small flagstones may be covered with tar. The walks around the Otis Iibrary, the Baptist church and the bullding on the corner of Broadway and Bath street are tar walks.

Laid Three Granolithic Walks. Last fall we complied with the or- der of the court of common council and laid three new granolithic side- walks on Union street over 100 feet in length because our old ones were not good enough. We had been walt- ing for the city to improve the street before doing this_work, thinking the grade might be changed. We did protest against the injus- tice of the order in the following re- spect: The property owners on {he west_side of the street were ordered to repair their tar walks, while those on the east side were ordered to lay the granolithic—more than twice as expensive. Is this just? The cost of the granolithic is about $2 per run- ning foot; overlaying the old tar, 30 a new tar wa.k, from 70 to 90 cents per running foot. The property is not valuable enough to be subjected to such a tax. In the order of last Monday some walks of small flag- stones can be covered with tar. We protest against such unjust discrim- ination. There who object strenuously 4re many property owners to destroying their good flagstone walks. We wish that these citizens instcad of sub; ting would enter a vigorous protest against such unjust exercisé of poweér the court of common council of is city, evidently dominated by acting at the. dictation of the ma Power Shoufd Limited.
