Griswold apd ‘Prosecutor Charles E. Lewis in tlleir respective offices, is the opinion of the towns- people. Both of the men began serv- ing_another two-year term in their respective offices the first part of this month. They have also received an incrdase in pay beginning with the new term:. Both formerly received $250 a year for thelr services but by an act of the last legislature they will now raceive $$500 a year for the work they do for town and state. JUDGE GEORGE GRISWOLD. — s his office in July, 1911. He hus served the town for ten yearas aml in the opinion of many there has not been a better judgo in the town of Berlin. Mr. Lewis has been proscutor for the past two years and is 10w begin- ning his thurd term in thatoffice. He has done much work of credit since holding office and is hdd in high esteem by Judge Griswod. Possibly the greatest act done Iy Mr. Lewis since holding the office >f prosecutor was to clean out the Ne&o home near the railroad dam. Tlis place had been an “eye-sore’’ to kensington res- idents for some time s@d many com- plaints had been forhcoming from the neighbors. Threemen, one wom- an and a girl were included in the clean-up. At the last sessiot of the legisla- ture the pay of bot] men was raised from $250 a year to$500. Represen- rative Francis Deming of this town did a great deal in iringing about this raise in pay for he two men. He realized how hard-they worked and how many extra aours of time they put in ecach weel Members of the legislature agreel to this with the result that the wage increasg was granted with litle opposition.

A short time ago there was a gen- eral rumor about town that a new political party had been, formed to work in opposition to Mr. Lewis. The quietus has been put on this party, however, by the wonderful record of Mr. Lewis and it is doubtful if any other town or perhaps city in the state can boast of a prosecutor with as much initiative and activity as Mr. Lewis. 4 School Committee Meeting. A meeting of the Berlin town school committee will be held at the town hall on next Tuesday evening at the usual time. There are a great riany important items to be brought before this meeting for discussioq. Saperintendent Showalter will intro- duce the school calenda® for tha 1921-22 school year.

The bridge between the town of Ilast Berlin and Cromwell over the Mattabesett river has been completed and open for traffic. The bridge was built by the Berlin Construction com- pany with the cement floor having heen built by Lasher and Baker of New Britain. Will Lese Jitney. Through the act of the public utili- ties commission. the residents of Kensington will lose their early morn- ing jitney and the late afternoon bus. These busses for the past two or three months have been running from’ Main streef in New Britain as far as the American Paper Goods plant in Kensington. They have carried most- ly the empleyes of the factory al- though many other passengers have been picked up along the way. The busses never ran, however, during the day, confining themselves to the~early morning and late afternoon only. An attempt was made some time ago to operate bus lines between this town and New Britain but it ‘was given up after a few trial trips as the patronage did not warrant a paying line. The drivers claim that the wear and tear on the tires is also very bad as roads are not in good shape. It has always been said that the Con- necticut company had a losing prq - sition in the Ne\'\ Britain to Berlin trolley line. It is not expected that there will be any change in the Berlin trolley route because of the jitney muddle al- though many people are wonderin how long the Connecticut compan will keep up the twenty minute sched- ules between the Berlin depot and the terminus on Berlin street. It is a well known fact that traffic be- tween these two points is never very heavy and it is very seldom that the cars _are filled' with passengers be- tween the depot and terminus. In many cases it is more ‘likely to be found that the cars are empty. Desanlruis-Gazaniga. 4 Arthur Raymond Desanlruis of Meriden and Miss Louise M.. Gazini- sa of Kensington were united in mar- riage at St. Paul's church in Ken- sington at 8 o'clock this morning. Miss Nellie Gazaniga acted as brides- maid. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. C. Brennan. Following the wedding the couple left on a wedding trip to Canada. Unemployment Situation Here. The unemployment situation in Ber- lin appears to be at its worst today with more men out of ork at pres- ent than at any other ®ime hereto- fore. The majority of the Kensing- ton factories have been working on shortened hours for some time and several men have lost work because of the present industrial depression. Many are of the opinion that things will take a change for the better in the future. A. P. G. Bascball Team. The American Paper Goopds girls team nine played the North and Judd girls at St. Mary’s field in New Brit- ain yesterday afternoon defeating their rivals by a 11-8 score. Misses Viets and Golon were the batter- ies for the winners and Misses Lynch and Lambert worked for the Hard- ware city team. Another game be- tween the two teams is planned for next Monday evening at St. Mary's field. The score by innings follow: r. h. e American Paper 1015103—11 16 2 North & Judd 0051011— § 5 3 The line-up of the team of girls at the local factory is as follows: L. S. Maungda, ss; Viets, ¢; S.

Last year Plainville appropriated a total of $45,000 for the mafntenanca of the local schools. This amount ir- cluded the amount necessary to,pay tuitions in New Britain and Bristol High schools as well as covering transportation to and from school in those cities. The amount appropri- ated seemed very large and met with opposition from some of the leaders of the town. The school board and its backers made a firm fight, how- ever, and won out. Their wisdom and foresight has been justified for the records of expenses for the year show that the amount was barely sufficient and if more outstanding debts are ‘to be paid it may not prove sufficient. Plainville, at,the present tima, is financially poor. There is no surplus here to expend in building A new school; but that such is evident is seen in the fact that a semi-junior high school system will have to be installed here in order to meet the requirements of the junior high school in New Britain. Many cities in the east have changed their. systems of education snd include the junior high school with advancement from that to the regular classical high. This means that the small towns, which send their children to be educated in theke advanced schools of learning, must also change their school curri- dren will be able to meet and compete with the children entering from the city schools. This is the problem now confronting Plainville and some changes must be made in the curri- culum at the eighth grade of. the grammar school in order that the children graduating will be able to go to New Britain. Just what these changes will be, a member of the school board could not state this morning, but intimated that they will be quite important and will change the eighth grade work considerably. For the first time in years Plain- ville is not facing the situation of making more room for the pupils who will enter this fall. This does not mean that Plainville has large enough school accommodations at present. But there has been a large number of school children moved from the town during the past year‘'and over- crowding does not seem 'imminent from the present outlook. Plainville does not send children to the Bristol High school at the pres- ent time and has not for the past two vears. There are possibly four pupils there now who started school the year before the change came. These will be permitted to finish their course. Bristol's order came because her ,school was overcrowded. The Bell City will have a new school very soon and wil! then not only admit Plainville children but ®ill ‘also be particularly pleased to have them reg- ister there. Rogers In Auto Accident. Myron Rogers, owner of the Plain- ville Baking company, and Woldemar Herrmann of 103 Henry street, New Britain, figured in an auto accident yesterday afternoon at the corner of Washington and West Main streets. The local man was driving his Hudson touring car and the New Britain man was in a Maxwell. Rogers’ car was quite badly damaged with smashed mudguard, side and wheel. The New Britain man’s rear axle was badly bent. According to witnesses the Rogers car was proceeding out of ‘Washington street, with right of way, going at a low rate of speed.. The Hermann car was going toward Bris- tol and seemed all at once to shoot ahead with the result that Rogers’ car was struck while on the cross-over of the trelley tracks. This would prove that he was right according to traffic. Mr. Rogers reported the acci- dent to the state department this morning. Church Social Successful. The novelty social given by the Ladies’. Aid society of the Me&hodxst church on the spacious lawn at'the home of Mrs. Frank T. White on Whiting street last night, was very successful. A total of over $40 was realized. The lawn was gaily deco- rated with large electric Japanese lanterns and set with many dainty tea tables. The social ‘started at 6 o'clock when ice cream and cake were served. A pageant of “Little Patriots” was staged by members of the Sunday school later in the evening and their efforts were well received by the older folks. The Sunday school orchestra furnished music for the oc- casion. Contributions were made ac- cording to the height of the persons and their financial position. Clothes Are Stolen. Plainville has not its old favorite swimming holes of former years due mostly to the pollution of streams in this city by the various factories and other sewage disposal. Therefore the young men of this town have had to go our of town to g0 swimming and the majority of them have chosen the Farmington river near the home of Winchell Smith, the playwright. But complications have arisen. There are thicves or else fellows who think it funny to take clothes and money belonging to the fellows who are in the water. But those in swimming are of opposite mind. Yesterday some local boys missed things and Hundreds of children in the Bronx of New against the high price of soda water York parade as a protest and ice cream. The parades and picketing have forced soda prices down, too, in scores of shops. . started” an investigation. It only brought to light the fact that other articles have been taken in the same way. If the authorities in Farming- ton are unable to cope with the sit- uation it is very probable that the bathing enthusiasts will take a hand. in helping them—and it would not be well to be caught. Some complaint hds been made that culums so that their respective chil-’ some of the youngsters do not apply the rules of etiquette in regard to at- tire while swimming. Some of those complaining evidently forget the fact that the youngsters are unable to buy a pair of trunks but they are decided- 1- anxious to swim. The best thing to do is what the “Blird Cop”'did in the poem—*“Don’t notice then and there’ll be no trouble,” some of the boys claim. o Sunday School Outing The annual outing of the members | on the Congregational church and Sunday school will be held tomorrow at Lake Compounce. The local people will leave here on special cars from the center at 10:05 o’clock. Special events of athletics (will be carried out in the afternoon after the picnic lunch has been served. A Second Auto Accident The second accident of the day oc- curred last night when a Ford car was smashed by another car on New Britain avenue. The accident occurred near Hart's ice house..Details of the accident could not fie learned today from Constable Moreno who is in New Haven.
