A high school principal 'organized the petition movement at Norwalk. The Middletown town-hall movement, was started in March, last year, by a.

group of young World War II veterans who interested the local American Legion which they had, joined. Out of this Legion movement came a town committee as a result of two town-hall meetings and this has: radiated in all sorts of civic activity. Both the state American Legion and the state AFL have adopted resolutions similar to that approved by the second town-hall meeting, and Middletown representatives of both these organizations are planning to put the issue before their national conventions. Other city, groups among them the. Kiwanis, Lions, Rotary, and CIO are taking the issues before district, state and national -conventions.

Gty Manager Plan tbt Xdltof Of TEX XaGUC As chairman of the city manager committee of the Fittsfield League of Women Voters, I want to thank you for your editorial on Saturday about our campaign for a city manager We feel we should explain to you and others why we have started this. There has been for some time wide interest in a city manager for Pittsfleld among people who firmly believe, that It is the most efficient form of government and can deliver to- the citizen the best return for his money. The League of Women Voters is more than willing to start the ball rolling on a project that we honestly believe. th citizens want. Mayor Fallon believes in the efficiency possible under a city manager.

Far from being a criticism of his administration our campaign comes near to being the exact opposite. we feel it would be- well nigh impossible to duplicate his honesty, and Intelligence in a man who would be not only willing to run for mayor under the present charter but also able to get the vptes. We dq not for a moment that the league alone can do the work. If those citizens who want a new charter 'do not want it enough to be willing to explain It to those who as yet do not know how they -stand, it will, of course, fail this fall. Let's all work for the best city charter for Pittsfleld to assure our city of continued good administration which the real interest of all citizens can achieve.
