\chtport residents are bemoanlng
the fact that the one “waiting sta-
tion" which the center of the town
3 boasted of has gone and left them
3 flat. Willi the removal of the post
I cities from the Toquct building. to
the Dickson building several hun-
dred yards from the center of the
town, there has disappeared an in-
stitution that meant more to West-
‘ bort than a mail station.
Daily it was the meeting place for
{ citizens to a scmblo and discuss
i those same llltio confidential sub-
Jccts that their cousins in the cities
talk about over the buck fence.
There was something that called for
'tliat daily trip to the post office that
none could deny. Of course osten-
sibly it was to get the day's maily
Ye ‘. the otllcc maintains it carrier
scr1lce.
With the post olllce out of the
center there isn't anything to take
3 its place.‘ The public library, the
l. . M. C. A., and the Bedford House
are right, in the center, but they
won't till the void. The post office
was the only place, whether you
wanted to run in out of the cold, or
the storm, whether you wanted to
chat or listen. While these are only
a few of the characteristic Latures
that made the old post office attrac-
tive. they are enough to enumerate.
Westporters will never regard the
new post cities with tile affection
that it had for the old. The town
3 meeting place is gone. Thus the of-
.3 hotels are receiving applications now
from many residents to be supplied
with the very carrier service they
have scorned. They have also ask-
cd that a combination letter and
package box be placed in the center
of town so that they won't be
: obliged to walk up to the new office.
13 Oflicials have agreed to humor them
that much.

Hartford PropoSes A‘
City Firelane Plan
HARTFORD; (AP)-—Firelancs in
city residential districts. counter-
parts of the “dead lines" or fire
in ‘in forests as barriers against
the cop of conflagration. have
been advocated by a municipal com-
mittee which is revising the building
code of Hartford. known among its
sister municipalities as "The Insur-
ance City " '
The idea underlying the plan is
main thoroughfares through sec.
tions closely settled with homes
would make "fire walls" against a
jump of flames from one block into
another and give fightground a. corn '
flagratlon in a particular block. The
proposed changes provide an inner
fire zone wherein all buildings
should be fireproof: a belt around
this inner zone which would be bi-
sected by the six fire-lanes. and out-
side ol all the residential section in
which frame construction would be
unhampered

“011 would some power the giftie

To see ourselves as iihcrs see us."
The little girls and little old Wo-
men who stand behind the counters
of our department stores, selling
their wares to an impatient and un-
decided public. have the spotlight
turned on them every business day
of the y .ar. One word with mis-
placed in cctlon and they are brand-
cd—u brand that isn't just the con-
tempt of the customer but one which
often means the losing of a job.
How about the women in the
aisles? How do they look under the
spotlight? That's a. different story.
Let's try a day in December——
about three or four days before
Christmas.
An Unforgettable Picture.
I'll paint the picture because I
have seen it so that I shall never for-
get it.
It was in a. large New York dc.-
partmcn‘. store. I had taken my
time out for lunch and on my way
back to my department, stepped out
onto the balcony to look down upon
the mass of shoppers. It was a
beautiful sight from that distance.
As one huge body they moved in
harmony and even their voices car-
ried harmony. i went on down
stairs to my department.
