The date of the Foresters' smoker , is June 20, instead of June 30, as pub- lished in vesterday’s paper. A large number of the members of the For- | esters are planning to attend this | smoker, which is the first given by the organization in some time. The smoker is given in observance of the | anniversary of the Foresters, and will be held in the Foresters’ hall. Town to Be Jarvis? A thought which has been for a long time in the minds of a number of people of this town was well ex- pressed In an editorial of a Meriden paper yesterday morning. The edi- torial was with regard to the pro- posed change in the name of this town as the name Berlin is meeting with much unfavorable comment on the part of people all over the coun- try. The writer suggested that the name be changed to Jarvis, stating that one of the most prominent citi- zens of the town bearing that name had been connected with the indus- trial, political and social life of the | town for such a long time as to de- serve the honor of having his home | his name. A ruling is| being discussed which if passed in congress will make the changing of towns bearing any names similar to Berlin necessary. In the event of the passing of such a ruling there is a great chance that this town will bear the name Jarvis in the future. East Berlin Rally Success, A rally was held in East Berlin last night by the members of the Thrift| .Stamp committee of that section of the town. A large attendance was on hand and pledges were signed for a large amonnt of stamps. Two speak- ers addressed the meetinz on the value | of War Savings Certificates and Thrift Stamps and the pat > duty of all| in the purchase of these stamps. Berlin Village Improvement.
