Once more the Connecticut com- pany is coming in for criticism from the townspeople, especially from those who live on Worthington Ridge and work in neighboring cities. Of course tMf® company is not to blame for the recent storm, but the inhabitants feel something in the line of transporta- tion ought to have been furnished this morning. The universal suggestion t6day was the trolley concern should have supplied a sleigh so the citizens could reach the depot. Those who went to the scenes.of their daily tasks either hitched up their own sleighs or “hooked” a ride from their neighbors. The snow on Farmington Road is rapidly becoming packcd @own ‘and ,according to those who passed over that thoroughfare this morning it will be four or five days before the trolleys will be running ‘again. There is one car in front of the ‘fair grounds and that has been there since Monday night. The con- ductor went to New Britain yesterday and so great was the need of men there he was ordered to confine his activities to the Hardware City, As a Fesult of his leaving, the motorman was left alone this morning. Selectman Gibney wore a worried ook this morning and he said he was t¥ing to figure out how Te-could put the roads in passable eondition and 8t111 keep within the appropriation of $50 for snow removal which was rec- ommended by the finance board and adopted at the recent town meeting. Tie has received calls from all parts of the town asking that this road and that one be broken. Three gangs of men were busy in different parts, but £0 heavy was the snow that they wero making very little headway. At first the work was concentrated on the Beckley road and the man ~ncceeded in making a suitable na*™ ‘- the afternoon the tow ftself in forming a passwis Main Jstrdet, Kensington. The firs: job on fhat thoroughfare was the removal of n automobile belonging to a New Britain man.

Yester- day afternoon the residents in those districts thought they were back in ¢ the days of the old post-chaise, for Charles Williams, the genial carrier from the Kensington post office at- | tempted to deliver mail on hors -‘! back. His efforts were partly cessful. School opened after a one day vaca- tion, but evidently “Young America’” ‘was not pleased with such a short hol- iday, because there were many empty seats. Some of the future presidents who were unable to go to school could be found on the streets with shovels on their backs enquiring from house to house whether the owner wished the sidewalk shovelled. 1 The housewives in Kensington, espe- cially those who ure forced to go out te the “old oaken bucket” for water, are considerably peeved. The move- ment which was recently inaugurated for supplying that part of the town with a water system has received an added impetus on account of the storm, and from remarks heard about ; town Kensington will have that sup- ply before. another winter. The com- mittee selected at the recent meeting will meet tomorrow night and make preliminary plans for getting the sys- tem. It is said when the next gather- ing is held the hall will be more crowded than at the last one, and if enthusiasm will produce desired re- sults it will not be long before the district has water. Storm Causes Postponements. The prayer meeting of the Kensing- ton Congregational church which was scheduled for tonight at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Marks of Blue Hills has been postponed indefinitely. On account of the storm it is neces- sary to postpone the concert of the Wesleyan Glee and Mandolin club which was to be given this evening at the town hall under the auspices of the Book and Thimble club of the Ber- lin Congregational church. The mem- bers of the club are disappointed, for it is not known whether another date can be secured. The Glee club starts on its Christmas trip next week and has no open dates at present. There is much local interest in the club he- cause Harvey Nourse, son of Profes- sor E. E. Nourse, is a member of the organization. The entertainment of the Tmprove- ment soclety oi the Kensington Grammar school scheduled for topight has been postponed until Friday eve- ning. g The East Berlin Book club wiil meet next Tuesday, last night's meet- ing being cancelled on account of the storm. East Berlinites Pleased. The residents of Kast Berlin are loud in their praise of one of their fellow-townsman, R. O. Clark today. The roads and sidewalks were im- passable yesterday and Mr. Clark | furnished his teams to break them open. To Attend Banquet. The members of the old “Berlin Guard” are planning to attend the annual banquet of the social whici will be held at the Engineer’s ‘club in New York on Saturday of this week. The “guard” is composed of former employes of Berlin Iron Bridge company.and they will come from all parts of the country. Twenty years ago, men who had beeu in the employe of that concern for twenty- | five years held a banquet and organ- | ized the club. yold da; Robinson Messrs.

The Modern Woodmen of America of East Berlin will hold its annual meeting tomorrow evening. There will be an election of officers. A turkey supper will be enjoyed after the meeting. John Harrington of Kensington is visiting friends in New York. LACK OF FREIGHT CARS. Paris, Dec. 14, 5:45 p. m.—Discus- sing the scarcity of freight cars, the Temps asserts that the disposition of rolling stock is managed poorly and that cars frequently are lying idle in one part of the country while the most urgent need for them exists in another. One train, it says, stood dle for a full year at Cognac. Vari- ous other instances are given of the nability of the railway administration to handle traffic. TO REAPPOINT McCHORD. ‘Washington, Dec. 15.—C. C. Mc- Chord, whose term as a member of the interstate commerce expires this week, will be reappointed by Presi- dent Wilson. Mr. McChord at pres- ent is chairman of the commission. CHRISTMAS AT MIDDLETOWN. The Connecticut Hospital for the Insane at Middletown is preparing to observe the Christmas holidays with appropriate festivities. Every effort will be made to make the season one of rejoicing and as an aid to such end gifts for friendless patients will not only be very acceptable to them, but much appreciated by the management as well. Gifts of any description will be welcome, but men patients would greatly appreciate ties, hats, gloves, suspenders or wearing apparel of any kind, while women patients would ap- preciate aprons, ribbons, ties, hats, gloves, etc. Packages should be ad- dressed to the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane, Middletown, Conn., and marked ‘“Christmas Donation.” If the donor will also write name and ad- dress upon the package, acknowledge- ment of the gift will be made. SHRI MEET TONIGHT. Sphinx temple, Masonic order of Shriners, will meet at Phenix temple in Hartford tonight at 8 o'clock to elect officers.

His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?

HE FLI NT-BRUCF @, 1560 TRUMBVLL HARTFORD. e News e et Plainvill HEBDENNEWASTER OF LOGAL HASONS Frederick Lodge Elects Officers at Annual Meeting DEFER ACTION 'TIL JAN. 11 New Leaders To Be Installed at Jan- uary Session—Town and Trolley | Companies Work to Break Storm’s | Grip—Churches to Co-operate. George R. Hebden was elected wor- shipful master of Frederick lodge, A. F. and A. M. succeeding Norris . Clark at the annual meeting of that organization held last evening in Ma- | sonic temple. Mr. Hebden has been an | enthusiastic member of the lodge for a number of years and his election to the leading office is fitting recognition of his services. Other officers chosen were: Senlor Warden—Edwin H. Hills, Junior Warden—A. A’ McLeod. Treasurer—Stanley S. Gwillim, Secretary—George A. Case. Senior Deacon—Charles R. Sher- man, Junior Deacon—Donald Benjamin. _ Senjor Steward—Charles F. Spald- ing, Junior Steward—Joseph N. McKer- nan, Chaplain—Rev: R. H. Burton. Marshal—Norris E. Clark, i Tyler—E. L. Stow. The installation will take place on January 11. The installing officer has not as yet been selected by the lodge. Frederick lodge has had a most Successful year under the leadership of Mr. Clark, and the members speak appreciatively of his work, Defer Action Until January 11. Action on the question of renew- ing the contract for street lighting With the United Electric Light and Water company has been deferred un- til the adjourned annual town meet- ing on January 11, the handful of voters who assembled at the special session Monday night having decided to postpone a decision until that time. At the same meeting the matter of installing additional street lights, the increasing of the appropriation for the observance of Memorial day and the laying of a town tax will be con- sidered. The contract with the lighting peo- ple now in force does not expire un- til January 15, and as it is likely that it will be renewed for either five or ten yeays, the company having the exclusive franchise for Plainville. Breaking Storms’ Grip. King Storm’s grip on Plainville be- gan to show signs of relaxing today and while conditions were far from normal, there was a vast improvement over yesterday, and the town gave cvidences of having resumed its usual aspect. Although it was the first time since the line was opened that the Bristol and Plainville Tramway company gave up in despair and allowed the aban- donment of its cars, the officials ackled the task of opening up the lifferent divisions and by 9 o’clock last night they succeeded in getting a car through to Plainville. The service is town anad Bristol was although the c were streets. and cars were run to New Britain on a half hour schedule, only one track being used. The line terminated near the corner of Crown and East Main streets, the company making no ef- fort to cut through the drifts to the center. The Southington divi- sion remained buried under a blanket of snow and nothing was done to re- lease the car stalled near the A. M. E Zion church during the height of the storm Monday. “Jitney” sleighs were put in service between Southington and Plainville to accommodate people in the neigh- boring borough who wanted to catch Hartford bound trains here. | Selectman Johnson had a number { of men at work removing huge piles of snow from the streets in the center. The snow was dumped into the Pe- | quabuck river. Most of the streets are now open to travel although milkmen are experiencing difficulty in getting over the country roads. Churches To Co-operate. Co-operation in the efforts to bring Plainville well up in the list of small contributors to Connecticut’s fund for the Belgians has been promised the selectmen by the pastors of the various churches and at some of the services next Sunday collections will be taken up for that purpose. The selectmen have already some donations which have been for- warded to the Belgium relief com- mittee at Hartford and additional contributions will probably be for- warded before Connecticut’s ship sails | for the stricken country next week. The selectmen are pleased with the response made to the appeal and they expect that Plainville will have no | apologies to make for itself when the list of contributions is made public. Ohristmas Checks Out. Checks representing approximately $10,000 were sent out yesterday from | the Christmas savings department of | the local bank and today a small per- | centage of the money wa already in circulation. The bank had a| strong club this year and the num- ber receiving holiday greetings in the | shape of checks was large. Tt will organize another club for next year. Trust Company Now. The First National bank of Plain- ville 1s no longer, the Plainville Trust company having supplanted it as the town’s financial institution today. For months the matter of complying with ' the formalities attending the change has been in the works, and all the legal requirements having been looked |- after the bank opened its doors this morning as a trust company. The bank is to be conducted under the direction of the same men who had charge of the business before the change was made. As a trust com- pany its scope will be widened and | while it will have to give up no fea- ture of a national bank, it will have new opportunities to serve the town, under the trust company charter. | Check books and pass books, bear- | ing the institution’s new name were sent out today.
