Drinks, They Say INSPECTORS VISIT THE TOWN| Federal ‘Agents Find Nothing Out of the Way—~Fathers and Sons in Jolly + Upasting Parties on Hill—Other News Items. There has been no wood-alcohol or whiskey received into Kensington since the passing of the prohibition | enactment, was.the statement made by cafe owners in town this morning. The deaths in Hartford have been eaused by wood aleohol which is being sold to those saloonkeepers willing to Dbuy it. The: local cafe owners reiter- ate their statements made recently that nothing but soft drinks are being passed over the bar. One of the cafe owners was quizzed on the “booze” in- cident of several weeks ago when a New Britain man came to one of the Kensington cafes and partook of some “sDEt” stuff, resulting in temporary in- | sanity. He claimed that the mhn did not obtain the liquor in Kensing- ton. The revenue inspectors were in Kensington and Berlin a few weeks ago and made a thorough examina- tiop of the saloons but according to | report nothing wrong was discovered. | 7 0ld “Boys” Enjoy Themselves. A number of the “‘old boys” were out in force last evening on the snow covered hills about the town The youngsters had nothing on their “dads” when it came to a race down | the hill. Berlin street, for the greater part of last evening, was thronged | with young and old who had their sjeds and l*“double rippers’ to try their ‘“‘edge.” Berlin street was more popular than Galpin’s hill, as one | could coast from Honiss' store all the way down to Lincoln’s at the foot of Damon’s hill. Watchers were sta- tioned at Woodruffs store to zuard against possible accidents. “Friends’ Night.” Next Monday evening will be “Friends’ Night” at the Kensington | Congregational church, under the aus- | vices of the Brotherhood. All the friends of the church and the mem- bers have been invited to take part in the program which will consist of singing, games, speaking and refresh- ments. This meeting will be the last one of the year and the Brotherhood is working hard to make it also the begt of the year. FL. . Spooner will | give a short address as part of the evening's program.

All dressed in red and eager to talk without a pause, He handed out his presents, beginning Wwith the “boys.” Little Francis Deming Dodd had toys, And little Willie Webster Frankie Wilcox Got something from old Santa that looked very like a pill box; But when the other kiddies started up to get a grab, | Then, you bet, he had his hands full, so he had no time to gab, Those mysterious white bundles, tied with ribbon, tied with string, Some held games, balls, books, a pen- cil and perhaps one held a ring.

DECEMBER: 27, 1810, PLAINVILLE NEWS LITTLE OPPOSITION 10 SALARY RAISES| Prominent Men Think Teachers] Are Entitled to Increase ARGUMENTS SUPPORT MOVE Manutacturers Will Give ltem Support—Church Notices—Engage- ment of Miss Stewart and Edward Hoffman Announced. The special 1o sider making a special appropriation for an increasc of $200 for each teach- er in the schools will be held on Man- day evening at hall.” Several town meeting con- 8 o’clock the town prominent manufactur- ers gave their opinions of the increase this morning and the consensus of opinion among them is that the teach- ers are entitled to what the ¥demand John H. Trumbull, president of the Trumbull Electric Manufacturing Co.. said: “I am in favor of the proposed | increase simply because living condi- tions male it imperative that instruc- tors be paid better than they are at the present.’” { Tdwin Hills said: I am heartily in favor of the $200 raise and believe that the teachers are entitled to more pay than they are getting.” Stanley Gwillim, general ger of the Trumbull Electric Co his opinion as follows: *“If we are to have an cff t teaching force we must pay the price by offering better salaries, and every citizen knows that we must keep up the standard of tho schools.” Mr. Gwillim, however, does not approve of the alleged breach of the terms of the contracts signed by the teachers. John Lamb of the Empire Electric Co., said: “I am heartily in favor of an increase for our teachers because I know from my own observations that they find it hard to meet living ex- penses out of the salaries recelved in the local schaols.” A prominent citizen, who has had an opportunity of seeing the conditions under which the teachers live, told some facts about conditions which con- frant the Plainville instructors. He has made inquiries about the price of room and board in this town and has compared the cost of living with the salaries of the teachers. An official estimate of the average salary paid to local teachers is $900. This is nat for 52 weeks in a year, but excludes the summer months when the schools are closed. The teachers, how- ever, have to stretch their salaries (o cover living expenses during these months when they are not employed at their occupation of teaching. It is said that some of the teach in Plainville have rooms which rented with the understanding heat shall not be furnished. © average of the price of room and board could be secured this morning. It is said that several of the teach- ers have received offers of positions on teaching staffs in other towns and cities at much higher remuneration than they ar receiving here. The contracts provide that the teachers may leave at 30 days’ notice and it is ible that some of them may take advantage of this provision if their demands are not granted. said that the manufacturers of Plainville will attend the meeting Monday night and back up the teach- ers.in their attempt to secure a sal- ary sufficient to cover their living e There will also be a reprn . said to be in the minority, will fight the proposed appro- priation. Those who are interested in aiding the teachers state that it is plainly up to the citizens who have children in the schools to attend the meeting and to back up the instruec- tors if an eflicient teaching staff e maintained.
