BERLIN NEWS ! TEACHERS’ HOMES SCARCE IN BERLIN Town Again Confronted With Instructors’ Housing Problem [AWN FESTIVAL THURSDAY Regal Review to Stage Event on July 21—Community Chautauqua Here ‘Augm 30 to September 2—Berlin Itggns of Interest. The town of Berlin will again be tonfronted with the problem of hous- Ing the- teachers when school begins next fall. It is difficult for teachers io find satisfactory homes in Berlin While many people offer furnished rooms, there are a few who rve been willing to board the teacher as well The housing condition last, year was one of the worst in the history of the town but it is expected will be a bit better this year. The teachers find that more homes can be secured in Kensington than in any other part of the town. Those fortunate enough to teach in this sec- tion of the tqwn have found suit*e homes with board furnished as 1 s the room. In Berlin much difficulty is being experienced even among the older teachers to secure places. Room ind board is available in East Berlin but it is claimed that the location is out of the way. The hardest section >f the town to secure either board or room is in Bsckley but as there is but on school the situation is easily han- dled. Securing Teachers There are still a number of vacan- zies on the teaching staff for the town of Berlin, according to an announce- ment made this morning by Superir- tendent B. R. Showalter. Two teachers ire yet to be secured for th erural schools and one for the Junior High The list of teachers will be announced when the above mentioned vacancies have been filled. Community Chautauqua.

Cayval Ramley, a jitney driver trom New Britain, appeared in court last evening to plead to a charge of reckless driving, following his ar- rest on Sunday afternoon by Con- stable John E. Conlin after he had passed through a crowd of people boarding the Bristol Hound trolley car. The young man pleaded not guilty and had witnesses to substan- tiate his claim that he slowed down and blew his horn continuously while passing the car. His claim of in- nocence was based on the fact that the trolley car standing at the line is dead for ten minutes and that therefore: the usual rules of making a 10 foot stop and waiting did not apply under such conditions. Attorney David Nair appeared for the accused and a battle of . words ensued between the New Britain lawyer the witnesses, and the bench. A plea was made for Ramley’s dis- charge in view of the fact that he i soon to go out of business and that imposition of a fine for such a mis- a Philadelphia and finds out T{le salesman machine demeanor would tax him heavily. The lawyer was of the opinion that his client was right in stating that the| trolley stops and waits ten minutes and that the existing laws governing automobile stops before a standing trolley would thereforé become null and void. Constable John E. Conlin testified that the accused was blowing the horn on his machine but was passing through the crowd of people at five or ten miles an hour. The travelers were jumping onto the car or rushing to the sidewalk to avoid an accident. He then placed the man under arrest. Judge E. P. Prior heard the case and prosecution was carried on by William Foran. The accused was fined $10 and costs amounting to 2 sum of $24.51. The case was not appealed last night. Program For Chautauqaa.

Aifter a lapse of five years, during which the large volume of his bus- iness occupies all his time, Myron Rogers, well known proprietor of the Plainville Baking company has re- turned as manager of the boarding house at the Plainville Camp Grounds in Forestville. For many years past Mr. Rogers had always taken care of this feature at the.grounds and his service was well known. The people at the grounds are glad to have Mr. Rogers back at his old stand once more. reader. Arthur Hanson, Auto Owner Gets Car. George R. Rogers of Worcester, Mass., came here last night and iden- tified his Chalmers car which was found abandoned at Sunset Rock last Friday evening. The car was a large touring automobile and was stolen from in front of the owner’s place of business in Roachdale, about eight miles outside of the Massachusetts city. Mr. Rogers was able to identi- fy his car in a most perfect manner even down to the various details found in the pockets. His wife's coat with name inside was the principal means the local police had of locating the owner. The car was seen in Farmington the night it was aban- doned and two young men and a young woman were seen as occupants. The reason the car was left on the mountain was the loss of the key whi¢h opened the connection. The car was undamaged. May Play In Wallingford.

It is probable that the players will journey to Walling- ford on Sunday where they will meet a. fast town team. A return game will be played here later. Used to Stores Closing. Local pecple are used to the Wed- nesday/ afternoon closing of the local stores. This was indicated by the hustle this morning which housewives were making to get in their supplies before noon. The stores were at first unable to agree upon the closing time, but later when some of them braved it the majority fell into line. The stores which remain open do not no- tice an increased volume of business. Church Social Tonight.
