Evidently the heavy rains caused the brook to swell above the height of the pipes and the water rushed back Into the basins, only to collect under the railroad’ bridge. Jitney Bus Stalled. Although the first car of the morn- ing made it§ trip to Berlin street, when it returned: there was about a fobt|of watér utfder the bridge and it succeeded in making is way under. The trolley was followed by a Jitney bus belonging to the Landers, Frary ond Clark Manufacturing Co., of New Britain, which gathers its employes inl Beérlin every morning. This bug also attempted to make its way under the bridge and was partly under when a sudder: gush of water from the catch basin, caused by the overflow of the up the pool unmtil the the .wheels of the bus and stalled the engine.

About an hour later a truck came down. the old road near the fair grounds and the stalled machine was pulled out of the water. Trolley Trafic All trolley traffic was delayed by the sudden rush of water and It was necessary for the passengers, who wished to continue the ride, to. cross over the railroad tracks and because of the fencds which had’ to be climbed much time was lost. The second trol- ley down stayed on the Berlin side of the bridge to take care of the passengers here. It is hoped that the water will be drawn off by tomorrow so that regular time schedules ain prevail. Armour Truck Stalled.

The following -communication has hecn sent to the Herald for publica- tion. “The method of transporting chil- dren who live along Kensington road togthe mmar and Ledge schools whch was inaugurated for the first time yesterday, has caused even more rescntment among many parents than was spoken of in last evening's Herald. The severe rain storm .of last night | flooded the Kensington reud in some | blaces and in many spots the mud was ankle deep, making it néxt to impos- soble tor chldren- wailking tg school not to get their feet wet. e same- two- horse drawn old-fashioned coupe which was used yesterday to convey soume of the children to school, was | again put into use this morning, and | despite the fact thai the condition of the road did not warrant even adwuits plodding through the mud and water, several -children were compelled to either walk to school or stay.at-home, because thére was not room in the conveyance for all. The children who were compeligd to walk naturally got their feet wet, and as all,of them carry their lunch to school they were obliged to sit in school with wet feet. This fact of being obliged to be about with wet feet is certainly aot préductive of good health “As was the case yesterday the little coupe was Jammed rull of children this morning and the gifise.doors were tightly closed, making what atmos- phere there was “within none too wholesome. The fact that the school board should apparently sanction the use of such a styled enclosed’gppfey- ance which is not only detrimental to those who are cruwdeg within, _but which would also prove dangerous.to life and limb in case of an.atcident; is beyond the explanation of some per- sons who were consuMed in the mat- ter this morning.: Pugthermore, it is not comprehensible fo many why a conveyance large eroukh to carry all children of this district to_gschool -is count no less than eight ghildren, who should have had thé privilég of ridig were not taken. today.- Four little chil- dren from one house, waited patiently for the team come along, but the driver passed by them and stopped some distance beyond to take on other children. The systenis and details re- lating to this method,ef conteving the childre of this dstrict to school is | being closely watched’ and carefolly | investigated by a prominent resident, and the matter will be thoroughly | gone into and proper action taken ac an early date.” To Bowl in New Britain Plans have been sompleted for a big bowling match to be held this eve- ning at Rogers leys in New Bri at 8 o’clock.

No turkeys are available here for the Thanksgiving dinner. In years past several of the local farmers have raised them for the annual repast but this year no one has dttempted to grow them. Turkeys are the most diffi- cult birds to raise as they are very susceptible to weather changes. There will be a minstrel rehearsal this evening.

The Christian Endeavor society of the Plainville Congregational church has issued a challenge to churches throughout the vicinity to compete for the largest attendance honor. The challenge has been accepted by the Christian Endeavor societies of the South Gongregational church at New Britain, Newington and Kensington. The new venture was brought up by President Carl Moore of the local society. It will cover the average at- tendance of the members at the meet- ings during the remainder of month and December. The contest will probably close on Christmas day. The society that has the smallest at- teadance will give a social and supper to the winners. The average attendance of the Plainvi®e society is about 25 or more while there is a membership of 32. During the past year President Moore has started some novel plans which have been worked out with much suc- cess. One of his plans is to divide the society into teams. Each of these teams has a leader and the team which has/the poorest record for at- tendance 6r any form of work assign- ed to it. is oblidged to give a sup- per to the other teams. Other activi- tes such as picnics, long hikes, dog roasts, have been held by the society during the summer. The society is open for membership and is receiv- ing enrollments constantly.
