town.
There were detailed specifics in the
request (see story on page one), but
the main issue here bo•qs down to
whcthcr or not the arts council should
become an officially sanctioned •nd
funded town organization. If the town
grants the arts council its request.
that's basically what will happen.
The Southington Arts Council has
been around since 1982 and has
scraped by on a 'bottom of the barrel'
budget throughout its existence. It has
done so while providing a variety of
cultural events, usually at no charge,
m an audience which might otherwise
not have had the chance to view such
performances.
The council has presented outdoor
lawn concerts, dance shows, art
shows and symphony conccns, just to
name a few. It has given res,dents here
the chance to learn about many new art
forms, and •t has expaneded many
people's horizons.
It has done all thrs, up to now, on
a shoestring budget. At times, council
officials have wondered if the group
could go on much longer without some
type of funding. Now, the group has
line', and that by donating money to
the arts council the town would be
insuring that culture survives and
grows here in town. It seems almost
vital that Southmgton finally take a
step toward promoting culture.
The arts group also has made a
request for space in the Historical
Centerwhen the V•lttng Nurse Associationmoves to]ts npw location on Mcriden Avenue. However, Town Manager John Weichsel has indicated the
Welfare Department may be moving
there. This does not make sense. The
Welfare. Department is a town agency
and should remain in the Town Hall,
To put the department m a building
with the Historical Society and the Arts
and Crafts Association cannot be j UStlfled. That would be hke putting the
Water Department m w•th the Barnes
Museum. It, too, rs a town building,
and it has space available It would
make more sense to put thc arts council
in the Historical Center basement
The Southlngton Arts Council has
given to the town for quite a while
now. It certainly scorns about umc that
the town give solncthlng to the
Southmgton Arts Councd
A posted honor
Not so very long ago, a group of
town residcnts got together and,
through volunteenng their se.rv•ces,
formed a council to promote tourism m
Southlngton. Their task was a rather
simple one, to let those people from
out of town learn what a great place we
have hem.
After many mcctmgs and a lot of
hard work, an interesting idea came
about. It was a combination of progressive planning and a throwback to
those simplcr days of long ago. The
m•,,olutionary idca which sprang up
was to promote the Town of Southmgton pictorially, through the usc of post
cards. Although this had bccn donc
many, many years ago, there had bccn
no similiar cffort in mccnt times.
The decision was made to adopt
this idea, and today it is reality. Just
recently, a second series of South.
ington post cards wcre made available
to the public. One of the nicest things
out this is that the post cards am free,
because the SouthingtonTourism Commission had the foresight to fund the
post card project with grant money
availablc to such groups. The Central
Coanceticut Tourism District helped
make the post cards a reality.
Now, thanks to the commission's
determination and cleverness, town
residents have a way to "spread the
news" about Southington for only the
cost of a postage stamp!
And •e scenes on the post cards
truly do show the glory of the town,
from pictures of the tustofic town
green to the apple orchards which have
helped put Southington, New England's little apple, on the map.
The latest group of post cards also
shows the Barnes Museum, one of the
more noteworthy and historical attractions in town, the modem-day public
library and a variety of scenic areas
throughout town.
Those on the Southlngton Tourism
Commission should be proud of the
way their project has turned out, as
should the general public. Those on
the commission have made it a pleasure foreveryone to promote Southington and its scenic wonders.
We urge those in.town to pick up
the no cost post cards and have some
fun by sending them to friends and
family members across the country.
The cards are available at the Chamber
of Commerce office, the town managers office in town hall, some restaurants, the Barnes Museum, local motels
and at the New Britain office of the
Central Connecticut Tourism District.
So Southington, celebrate yourself! What bettcr way to do so than by
sending scemc pecks of our town to
others throughout the world. Our
thanks to the local tourism commission
for giving those in our town the chance
to have some simple, hometown fun.

Repubhcans that O'Nedl •lll bc hard

O'Neill's 1,098-250 d•lcgatc tnumph means that there wdl be no primary for the Democratic gubcrn,ltorlal

prevent Moffett from getting the 20 percent support. Moffett, himscl[, scollcd

His people were sure, and O'Neill's

Moffett may end up supporting the

Moffctt to score on the issues. So Moffctt hoped to pick up delegate votes following the developments in the Waterbury primary, and allegations conceming irregularities in abscntcc ballots.
But the Waterbury allcgations didn't
help Moffett at the convention.
On the floor of the convention,
too, O'Neill p.re,vatled. His forces
mustered the political muscle needed to
keep delegates in line.
So O'Nclll has thwancd the efforts
of a popular formed congressman -- a
candidate who gave U.S. Sen. Lowell

was somcone to take seriously. So it
would bc wrong to minimize O'Neill's
success at the convention; O'Neill's
win over Moffctt demonstrates that the
