Bertin News | BERLIN MEN MUST ~ APPEAR SATURDAY| y Plainville Town Hall | CARBUS EAND CUT OFF Bmploye of Berlin Construction Co. | Hurt by Falling I-beam—List of Recruits Wanted by Herald—Send |! in the Names. Men between the ages of 21 and 31 #n Berlin must appear before the lo- ca] exemption board Saturday of this week. at Plainville town hall for ex- emination for the first draft army. This is the gist of a statement made this morning by Benjamin I. Miller of Avon, member of the local exemp- | tion board. However, this does not necessitate that all men will have to appear; 1,000 men from the entire district will be examined on three different days. The quota is 400 men. Men w11l have to appear in the order in which they were drawn. If the re- quired allotment of physically fit men cannot be obtained from the first 1,000 another group will be called and so on until the quota is filled. No claims for exemption will be eccepted at this time and only a physica] examination will be given. Each man will have seven days from the time he received notice to afpear for examinations to file his j on_duty Friday or Saturday. | His notification stated that he was ’of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wilson. lEligihles to Be Examined at| | the officials. | tomorrow to make final arrangements for entering active service and going | Joseph Wilson enlisted - about a month ago at Fort Ethan Allen, Ver- mont in the Medical Reserve Corps. wanted to appear at that place at once.

It was rumored about town this morning, although the rumor could not be confirmed, that the county- health officer would be here today and take some action on the sewage sy: tem which prevails in houses near the railroad bridge. Every morning drainage from an unknown source segregates in pools under the bridge causing a disgusting odor and . citizens in the community | have waxed indignant at the laxity of According to a statement made a short time ago by Dr. Griswold, health officer of the town of Berlin.} the matter had been placed by him in | the hands of the county health om-i cer. Giving his statement credence | the conditions existing have been | known by the county official for over ; four weeks and a yet he has done nothing. “It certainly is an intangible mess, one man blaming the other,” re- marked one citizen this morning. “The selectman can take no action ; unless assigned to by the local health | officer, the local health officer is: awaiting some action of the county | health officer and the people of the | town are awaiting the pleasure of the | last named individual,” he continued. | | i Let Ts Co-operate. A number of the residents of the town are wondering how many have voluntarily enlisted in the service of the military. Others are speculating as to how many more local boys will be taken as members of “Uncle Sam's” first draft army. A few far-sighted citizens have been asking if it would claim for exemption and proof for exemption must be filed five days aft- er he has filed his claim. As the result of an accident which happened several weeks ago in which his hand was badly crushed, Joseph Kingo was operated on this morning at’ the New Britain General hospital and the hand amputated. According to Dr. Dunn, who performed the operation, Kingo is doing well and is puffering no il effects from the sur- gical treatment. Kingo's hand was crushed some time ago at the Berlin Construction company when a five-ton I-beam ‘from a passing train fell on it. He was taken to the New Britain hos- pital where it was at first thought that amputation was unnecessary and that the hand could be saved. The injury grew worse instead of better and amputation was at last neces- sarv. Kingo is one of the oldest and best known residents of Italian ex- traction in the town and has a wife andl children. Two More ‘Are Called. Two more young men of the town have been called to'the colors. They are Harry McKeon and Joseph Wil- son. Both are well known in the town being members of prominent tamilies. Both boys received instructions Baturday afternoon to report immedi- ately at the places at which they en- listéd.: Harry, who offered his ser- vices to the naval reserve about six weeks ago and was accepted, left this morning to report at New Haven. He probably will return tonight or not be a good plan to keep a list of those who go away. For this reason the Herald will | wage a campaign similar to the one | being carried on in New Britain for New Britain boys. But only with hearty co-operation of the public can this plan be brought to a successful conclusion. It is no more than “honor roll” be kept of those who have responded to the call of the colors. After the list is completed it will be published. Therefore, if you have a son or kinsman or know some young man who has volunteered his services in one branch or another notify the Berlin correspondent. It would be best if this was done in writing, giving the names of his parents, his age, when and in what branch he en- | listed and his address. The above in- | formation could be sent to the Herald, { given to the Berlin reporter or left ! at one of the post offices, either at | Berlin or Kensington. iy Berlin Briefs.

Neglected Family. Charged with failing to support his wife and children, Frederick Latham was arrested in New Haven vesterday and was brought here by Constable Marino to face the court. Latham’s family lives' on Bank street. His wife in her complaint advised the au- H thorities that she had not seen him for over a month and had received nothing from him during that time to aid in supporting their children. | Since leaving his family Latham | has been gathering clams at the New | | Haven shore, selling them in nearby towns. his whereabouts, went to New Haven ! with a warrant issued by Grand Juror Norton and the man was taken into | custody. ! over-indulgence He was a director and as- | { have the accused committed to ther, Rev.

WARNING TO ALIEN Enemies Must Live Up to the Terms of Their Special Permits. It has been estimated that there are probably 100 alien enemies in this city to whom permits have been issued by the United States district marshal giving them the privilege to move about in certain restricted di tricts. In order to save some of the more thoughtless ones from being prosecuted for violation of the terms of their permits 1t is well to have each alien note carefully just what privileges have been granted him and to abide by them. On Saturday night a man in Hartford was arrested on Main street. His permit showed that he had the privilege of going only from his place of residence and the factory where he is employed. It is understood that department of justice | men are here taking note of the man- ner in which alien enemies are cva- ducting themselves. If such an alien moves his place of residence or changes his occupation he should at once notify Marshal Middleborooks if he would keep out of trouble.

Two “plain drunks”, one a local | man named Saunders, the other too | much under the influence to talk about himself, are in the lock-up | awaiting arraignment. They were ar- | rested this morning by Constable Ma- rino who was unable to get them to leave the center where they were ! making a nuisance of themselves.

Soldier Methodists Honored. With religious fervor at its heighth, the fifty-second annual camp meeting of the Methodists of this districts was brought to a successful close at the | camp grounds this morning. Rev. E. | A. Dent, D. D., was in charge of the | closing exercises. The camp meeting | has been in progress for a week and the various sessions have been well at- | tended. The most successful feature of the entire program was the big patriotic | meeting held at the grounds yester- day afternoon. Hundreds of Metho- dists from all over the state came here to take part in the exercises and to pay tribute to the young men of their denomination who have respond- ed to the call to colors.

Wing Final Game. The Plainville Foresters won their game of the season vesterday afternoon when they tri- umphed over the Adams Express company's team of Hartford. The | local boys had little difficulty in bat- ors and they had eleven runs to their credit when the game was finished. The Hartford combination could mus- ter but nine tallies during the con- test. After the game the Plainville team disbanded for the season_ because of the fact that several of the members have or will soon enter the service of their country. Don’t Worry, Woodcock’s Advice. Rt. Rev. Charles E. Woodcock, Episcopal bishop of Kentucky, who is on his way here to visit his sister, Mrs. Marshall P. Ryder of Maple street, gave a most interesting sermon | last evening in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. The | address attracted considerable atten- tion in New York and was given con- | siderable space in the metropolitan newspapers this morning. Bishop Woodcock gave as his opinion that it is no more sinful to drink yourself into the gutter than to worry vourself into the grave. “People are getting life badly mixed up.” he declared. ‘‘They are short- ening ‘their lives by ten vears by senseless worrying. Worry weakens heart and hardens the arteries. People are carried away by the mis- taken idea that one cannot live with- out worrying. “Worry is an evil It destroys more than. rum or vice. It is as sinful as drinking or gambling. It is a guil inful, cowardly thing. It s always a personal weakness.” i Bishop Woodcock plans to spend ! several days here before returning to | l S - =i ‘ ordering them to appear at t i The exemption board for this district i ably receive them Tuesday. | to the number of three hundred will He is well known in Plainville where he has visited many times.
