Dows: Supplies Four .0t of Five PoSitions. SUPERIOR INSTRUCTOR FOR BECKLEY Will Succeed Miss Sarah Porter— Grange Certificate -of Incorporation 3 Filed With Secretary of State— ‘Gl'll.'l‘e Lawn Party Planned. Four out of five vacancies in the teaching staff of the local schools, which . were caused by resignations .and failures to return contracts, have ‘been filled at this early date, accord- ing to a report which Superintendent J..W. Dows has filed with the sehool committee. The vacancy Which now prevails, is in the Beckley Quarter school, and the superintendent ex- pects to have it filled very soon. Miss Lilllan Ginsberg, the young Jady who was on last year’s pay roll as a substitute, has been engaged to succeed Miss A. Hynes at the Hub- bard school in East Berlin. She is a young lady of about nineteen years and was graduated from the , New Britain High school with the class of 1913, having been an honor pupll, To succeed Miss Eleanor Marks, Who failed to sign another contract to teach at the Blue Hills school, Mrs. Clarence Taylor has been ap- pointed. Before marriage Mrs. Taylor held this position and proved very efficient. Miss Mildred Aspinwall of Berlin will take Miss Helen Ransome’s place t the Percival school. She attended the public schools in Berlin at one time and was graduated from the New Britain High school. She entered the ranks of the alumni of the State Normal sehool at New Haven in June of this year and is considered well qualified to teach. Miss Dorothy Horsfall, a popular New Britain young lady, who was graduated from the State Normal school in that city with the last class, will be a member of the Kensington Grammar schoo] faculty a the open- ing of the fall term, ng Miss Brown. She left the N Britain High school with the class of 1912, in which she was an active worker, hav- ing been the secretary of her class @nd a member of the class board. The position in the Beckley Quar- ter school left vacant by the resig- nation of Miss Sarah Porter has yet to be filled. has always held this place and Super- intendent Dows is desirous of main- taining this precedent. For many years a Phi Beta Kappa woman has taught at the Beckley Quarter school . and the probability is that a teacher ®f that distinction will be engaged to take up Miss Porter's work. Of course the salary of such a teacher will be larger than that of the ordinary instructor, but the town is put to no additional cost, owing to ~ [fli-gtmmmponeyugm ¥ book | A very superior teacher | |trorn the Ollve Selden fund, which | was' instituted several years ago by iMr& Olive Selden for the benefit of the Beckley Quarter school. The custom, heretofore, has been to appropriate the $5600 salary allowed by the school board for this position, and add to it about $200, making a salary of about $700, which is quite large for a’' teacher of a country school. i Leave on Auto Trip. Alden Lincoln, ‘son: of: Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Lincoln of Farmington road, left today with Ralph' Spinning, a friend from Michigan, for an extend- ed automobile trip through the New England states, The trip, which is to be made in a Ford runabout, will include many of the largest cities in this group, and will probably termin- ate in the state of Maine. The boys had no definite course in mind when they left home and they will enjoy the novelty of roam- ing about at random. , House Party at Madison, The . Misses Marjorie .Brandegee, Izah Dunham.and Helen Nourse and Henry Deming, Fenn Nourse and Ar- thur Hancock were entertained by Professor and Mrs. E. E. Nourse at a house party in Madison yesterday.

Miss Hildegarde Brandegee of Farmington, the violinist, who has gained considerable fame as a mu- siclan, is the guest of her aunts, the Misses Brandegee of Worthington ridge, Miss Brandegee rendered several violin selections in connection with an entertainment given last year by the Village Improvement society of Berlin and she is well known. here. Grange Incorporated. Through its attorney, Judge i George W. Andrew of New Britain, the building committee of the Ber- lin grange has filed papers of incor- poration with the secretary of state. The certificate states that the ob- ject of the corporation is to erect and maintain a building for the use and benefit of the Patrons of Husbandry. The incorporators are George W. Reed, Charles M. Weldon, Edwin B. Adams, Senator Claude W. Stevens, H. W. Goodrich and George B. Car- ter. The organization Is without capital stock. Property Sales. After a noticeable 1ull in this line for the past several weeks, Town Clerk Francis H. Shaw received in his mail this morning three warrantee deeds to enter upon his books. The first deed recorded the sale of i a plece of land in Kensington to John Paul and Merida DeMore, Frank D. | Kent of Hartford being the grantor. This property is bounded on the north by land of St. Paul's church corpora- the east fifty-eight feet by ¢y and on the south and west by land of Robert J. Vance. The grantees are given the privilego of using water from the well on the grantor's property, providing they | bear one-half the expense of keeping the well and pump in repalir. New Britain Man Buys Land. According to another deed, Mar- | garet Seibert hag sold to Frederick W. Hoffman of New Britain seven- teen acres of land and all buildings standing thereon in Berlin. The land is bounded on the north by the highway, on the east by land of Sylvester Kaminiski, on the south by the top of the Ledge and on tho west by property of Aaron M. Bell, being the same land deeded to the grantor by Willlam H. Webster on May 17, 1913. Seibert Sells to Piersons. Frank . Seibert of New Britain has transferred to Aaron and Alma Pier- son two parcels of land in this town. The first contains three acres with dwelling house and other buildings and is bounded northerly and east- erly by the highway; southerly by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and; westerly by land of Emma F. Seibert. 4 N The"second plece contains eight acres and has for its boundary on . the north and east, the highway, on the south the Middletown branch of the railroad .and on the west land by George T.

Shaw requesting information . as regards the number and valuation of public bujldings in Berlin, including build- ings belonging to the United States government,. the state of Connecticut, the town or any city or borough thereof, if there be any. Needless to say, the town clerk's letter will not have ‘to be very lengthy. Postmaster Looking Up Package. Postmaster Henry L. Porter left the Berlin post office in charge of his assistant, Miss Olive Shaw, this morning, when he went to the Ber- lin brick yards to investigate the loss of a package, which has just been reported to him.

There 15 a move on foot among the officers of the Kensington Congrega- tlonal church to organize a camp near the lower reservoir for the girls of the Junior department of the Sunday school. "If the plan materializes, it is probable that a party will spend one day next week on the shores of the beautiful reservoir, where a num- ber of the bovs of the Sunday school camped out for several days last week. The girls' camp would be in charge of Mrs. Carleton Hazen and other teachers of the school, Grange Lawn Party.

PAVING JOB AGAIN HELD UP Break-Down at Amiesite Mixing Plant May Result in Center Being Closed to Traffic on Sunday—W. C. T. U. Day at the Camp Grounds—Briefs. Plans for improving the lighting service on the streets of the town were suggested to Selectman Johnson vesterday by representatives -of the United FElectric Light and Water company who were here on a tour. of of their visit it is llkely that the center, at least, will be better illuminated. Manager Atwater, who is now in charge of the company’s business in this division, had a long talk with the sclectman and went over the lighting question thoroughly, suggesting some changes that should improve the ser- vice here. Among his suggestions was the in- stallation of 250 candle power lights at the center to take the place of those now in use. He had two of\ these bulbs put on the poles near | Whiting street corner last night for | demonstration purposes. A marked improvement was noticed. The lights now in use are of but 60 candle power and while the contract stipulates that there will be no diminishing in the brilliancy of the glow they radiate while they are in service, it has been roticed that the old bulbs do not give | nearly as' much light as those in- stalled but a short time. The town is now paying at the rate of $20 a year for each light in use with the exception of those on Whit- ing street, a thoroughfare which the company was ordered by the courts to illuminate as®a concession for lay- ing its tracks on the street. The new lights which the manager placed at the center for a demonstration cost $40 a year. They are guaranteed to give more than four times as much light as the smaller bulbs although the expense is but double. There is a great deal of traffic through the center at night and it is probable that the selectmen will con- tract for the large lights for this lo- cality anyway. Some other changes in the. street lights are also contem- plated and the indications are that better {llumination will be furnished without the town going to additional expense of any consequence. Break Down at Mixer. Another exasperating delay in the laying of permanent pavement at the center was experienced today, the contractors having been notified this morning that owing to a breakdown at the amiesite mixing plant at White Oak, material to be used in finishing the square could not be supplied bo- fore tomorrow. The centractors made a good start yesterddy and Selectman Johnson hoped to open up Central Square to traffic on Sunday. He made a per- sonal visit to the plant during the day and was advised that it was impos- sible to prepare any of the amiesite for use before tomorrow. This will probably result in keeping the center closed to traffic until Monday and ve- hicles will have to proceed through the town in a roundabout way. The laying of the brick pavement between the rails of the Connecticut company, which has been in progress for several days was finirhed this af- ternoon. Judging from the appcarance of one section of East Main street, the engineers did not arrive at the prop- er grade in preparing for the work and as a result there is a hollow he- tween the ralls at a poinc near the Cook garage. Instead of tearing up the street again, the company has de- cided to install a, caich basin whica is expected to carry off the water. Shut Down for a Month. The local plant of the Bristol Man- ufacturing company will close tonight and according to a noticc posted at the gate will not resume operations until August 15. This is the longest shutdown in the recent history of any of the local factories. The mill employes number about two hundred and with the exception of a few, who will take inventory, all will be out of employment for a month. The company’s business has fallen off considerably this summer and the officers decided to close the plant for a month instead of the usual two weeks as a result. Should there bhe enough business to warrant it, it was said today that part of the plant may open before the expiration of the month. Had Birthday Party. Little Laura Rebecca Alling yester- day entertained at lunchecn her two cousins, Allen Clark Ward, Jr., of Hartford and Gabriel Nordgan of New Britain, and her grandparcnts, the oc- casion being the first anriversary of her birth, Pictures of the party were taken in four different groups and each child was weighed.
