To Fill in Grounds. The otherhood club of Berlin is sending out a petition to the Berlin people asking the aid of all men who will volunteer their teams and serv- ices to cart cinders from the power house to the Worthington school. Be- | cause of the mild weather during the past few days the grounds about the school have become very soft and m\lddy. The mud of the reddish col- ored dirt collects on the rubbers or shoes of the children and is carted | to their homes wherg it is often brought into the house unknowingly. The Motherhood club feels that if there are any men in the town willing to give their time and services a few cinders can be obtained at the power house and spread over the school grounds. This would help do away with the mud. Hot coffee and doughnuts will be served to the workers at 10:30 o’'clock in the morning and again at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The members of the Motherhood club would be, glad to hear from any man who is willing to offer his services for tomorrow when the work will be done. Committee Moets.

Following the wedding the young couple left on a honeymoon trip Horses Not Noticed. Despite the fact that the assesso-s' report showed the town of Berlin to have more horses than automobiles this evidently is known to the towns- people only in view of tha'fact that several of the local farmers are com- plaining of the way they are treated on the road when an automobile passes them. Within tha past year in this town threc horses have fallen on the cement or macadamized road and as a result have broken their legs This in turn usually results in the necessity ot ktllirz .he horse. .One farmer stated this morning that often when he is going from Ber- lin to New BEritain on Iarmington road wherevér it is possible he will KO to the extreme right and travel in the muddy gutter or shouider of the road in order to escaps the automo- biles, the drivers of which seem to think they own the road as well as tha machine. Autoists Have Grieviinces, On the other hani, passing auto | ists are loud in their complaint about horse driving vehjcles on Berlin roads at night. Although the law specifi- cally states that Al vehicles must show lights, it is seldom tha: a horse- drawn vehicle in Berlin i1 seen with a light. Despite this fagrant viola- tion of the law, and a ‘iolation that no autoist could eszapu with, the authoritica have vet to arro a drive. er, Autoists complain that while driving along the roads herc, at night, they have to be consiantly on the alert, not for obvious trai~ Lut for somo indifferent driver of a horse- drawn vehicle who doea not show a light and cannot, thareford; be seen until alivost tob lata to avoid a crash.
