BERLIN NEWS — LLISION NEAR LINCOLN BRIDGE One Driver Held Under Bonds for Being Intoxicated FINANCE BOARD. REPORTS _— Gibney a Candidate For Representa- tye—Automobilists Break Road Laws—Invitations to Miss Webster's Wedding Out. An auto acoldent @ccured last pight on the Farmington Road near the Lincoln bridge the seriousness of which it was impossible lo‘ut‘cr- today since all the parties in- ::I\'M were out of town and could aot be reached at their places of pusiness. From the available facts it sppears that two automobiles ap- proaching the bridge in opposite di- rections collided since there was not snqugh space for both cars to pass at \hé same time over the bridge which s considerably narrower than the road. The front wheels of the cars Interlocked and the wheels of both ears were badly damaged. The drivers of both cars talked the asccident over and were about to reach an amicable settlement when me a third auto which crashed into both cars. Then the parties went to Judke George Griswold to settle the matter in the company of a State Motorcyele Policeman who happenad along at the proper time. One of the partied, it is belleved the third one, who smashed both cars, was held by Judge Griswold under $100 bond for police court next week under the charge of driving an automobile munder the Influence of Intoxicating Imuor. Meeting of the Finance Board. The board of finance held a meot- Ing last evening to balance up the mccounts of the money expended by the town during the past year and a rigld economy of the town funds was shown although much has been ac- complished under the present board of .selectmen. On the whole the amount expended was well within the amount appropriated There were only two funds which were somewhat strained and they are the road fund and the outside poor fund. The board transferred last night some of the unuse money on other accounts to balance up these funds. For instance, there was practically $3,000 which was appropriated for the bridge fund which is practically intact and that was transferred to the road account The members of this Joged are Francis Deming, E. W. Mildrum, J. J. Fitzsimmons, Claude Stevens, Lewis Westco®, Jumes Hart and the first selectman Dr. R. M. Griswold ex-officlo. Gibney for Representative. llllam H. Gibney is in the race tative to the state leg been first selectman years and has ulso prosecutor in the ‘tion for he made an enviable reputation. He has served on various town commit- tees and up until two or three years ago was always active in politics. He is well acquainted with the legis- lative work as he was door man for a number of years. Now that he has come out for the republican nomina~ representative it is thought that he will command votes enough to place him well up among the chief contenders for the office. No names have been mentioned for the democratic nomination for rep- resentative. Democratic leaders prom- ise a surprise in the election for this office and expect to put up a man who will be strong enough to defeat any man the republicans nominate. Autos Break Road Laws. There have been numerous com- plaints by local persons in regard to the way many automobilists drive their cars through the town. Traffic through the streets of Berlin and Kensington has never been heavier. The automobiles go faster than ever before. But pedestrians and drivers of teams have had many narrow es- capes this year. An observation was made recently of the autos that went under the railroad bridge in half an hour. The bridge is acknowledged a very dangerous place on the highway but only one of the twenty-eight cars which passed under the bridge sound- ed a horn and most of them were going fast It is expected that the state motorcycle policemen will oper- ate in the town shortly to put an end to reckless auto driving. Wedding Invitations Out. The invitations to the wedding of Miss Florence Webster of Worthing- ton Ridge which was announced last month have been sent out. Miss Webster will be married to Warren McAllister Deacon of Westchester, Pa., on Saturday, September 11, at the Second Congregational church by the Rev. Samuel Fiske, pastor of the church and the Rev. J. Emmett Dea- con, the father of the groom. Red Flag at Half Mast. The irrepressible American youth cannot wait for Halloween to play his pranks. He is up to mischief when- ever the humor strikes him and that is very frequently. It seems that the boys of Berlin were feeling mis- chievous last night when they seized a red ice cream sign from the front of one of the ice cream parlors and strung it up on the flagpole of the Second Congregational church. It was not pulled up to the truck so from a distance it appeared like a red flag at half mast Perhaps the boys were celebrating the defeat of 4he Reds by the Poles by putting the Red flag at half mast but the church governing body will probably cele- brate the same defeat of the Reds by hauling down the Red flag alto- gether. Stevens Not Active Candidate. When interviewed by the Herald representative as to his candidacy for congress Claude Stevens said that while it was an honor any man would ap- preciate and he was in a receptive mood he was nevertheless not an ac- tive candidate for the republi®an nomination from this district.

Back from over the sea where the red popies grow, And the little white crosses All stand in a row,— O’er the graves of his com- rades, ‘Who, in peace ever sleep, While friends here at home, For their absence weep. All honor to him Who answered the call, And gave up his life, His friends, home and all; That the flag of his country Might ever remain The vanguard of liberty, And retain its bright name. Then gently place him Beneath the green sod: EARNING AND SAVING When old age comes upon a man and finds him without resources, it is usually not because he failed to earn enough, but because he failed to save.
