Although it is still early in the vear, tho fire Has been started under the political pot as far as the town of Berlin is concerned. The election does not come until fall but neverthe- less the parties in town are preparing i themselves for what it is thought will be a hard battle. It has been known for some time that a new party of a political rature has been formed in Kensingfon. It is also known that several of the prominent residents in Kensington have joined this party and that the membership is nearing the two ! Dame rumor Liundred mark. has it that Willlam H. Gibney will be backed by his party for select- man. If Mr. Gibney should happen to be a landidate for first selectman it is expected that he will have a.hard fight as 2 member of the American Legion siated last night that the en- tire group of ex-service men in the town woule back George Carter if he as again a candidate for the office he now Lolds. It is also to be expect- ed that the entire population of Ber- lin street and near vicinity would be staunch supporters of Mr. Carter. Mr. Carter was elected first selectman last fall with an overwhelming number of votes. He has aided ex-service men ‘n securing wérk wherever possible. Mrs. Green Pleased. Mrs. George Green of Kensington pleased with the way thé Ken- ngton people have responded to the :all of the Berlin Motherhood club in offering homes, for two weeks, to the children to be brought here under the auspices of the New York Tribune fresh air fund. Ten fami- lies in Kensington alone have agreed ‘o take children when they arrive here and give them a home for their wo weeks' stay. Reports from the 3erlin and Fast Berlin districts will ¢ received later. ‘The children will arrive here on August 3 and stay until August 17. The children are being given free ransportation by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad which ill also take many to Meriden, Wal- sford and other towns along the main railroad line. The fund last 000 children to take into the country but because of thc limited number of towns which would take the children only 10,000 were iven the opportunity to go. This vear a canvass was made by the ‘Tribune in many of the smaller tgwns of Connectieut anl1 Massachusetts with the result that all of the chil- ren will have the chance to get into ‘he country and probably for the t time -see what a real cow and en is! 2 The Berlin Motherhood making plans to give the the best time of their lives during eir short stay in Berlin. A big cature of their stay will be a picnic which will probably be held at the community grounds. Daily hikes and such things are also being considered. Complain of Service.

The term of Peter J. Prior as postmaster of the town. of Plainville expired today. This completes terms of office which the local man has fillea, starting with the filling of the position after the death of Postmaster Tomlinson: Hlis second term was through reappointment by President Wilson. Although. his tenure of ‘office of- ficially ends July 21, 1921, Mr. Prior will not leave the local office probably for several months, due to the fact that no appointment kras been made for Plainville and espec- jally because of the fact that a .ec- ond class postmastership as that in Plainville is to be filled according to civil service ruling and -may con- sume many weeks for final action. If the senate adjourns soon, it is probable that no postal appointments' will be dealt with until after -recon- vening, which time is generally placed as October. During his two terms of office Mr. Prior has brought the local office to a high point of efficiency and has seen it rise to a second iclass office of importance. The business There has risen yea: after year and reached its peak during the past season when an extraordinary volume was handled. As postmaster the local man successfu]l in securing a new and spacious home for the office on Whiting street. It formerly was in the Newton block on West Main street ‘in which quarters it was de- cidedly cramped for working space. New equipmerft has been secured two was factories has been selcured. .The best service the postmaster has done for the town was in securing street delivery. This was done through the appointment of two carriers who now serve the main streets of the town as far west as Forestville avenue, Bohemia street, and West Broad street, and as far East as northerly Farmington avenue, New Britain avenue and the length of East street to Tomlinson avenue. In connection with his work as post- master, Mr. Prior has taken a keen interest in condition of the streets of the town. This is essentially necessary on orders of the government for the continuance of rural and city delivery. Frequent trips over the city routes and rural ways showed the streets which needed repairing and opening for bet- ter traffic. Work by the postmaster has been ‘instrumental in securing the needed changes until today the rural roads and the city delivery streets compare favorably with the majority of nearby towns and citizs. Many of the roads were in terrible condition and without repairs the dzlivery couid not be maintained. Constant work upon the part of the local office in the line of public agitation secured the necessary improvement. This has been especially noticeable in the West- wood Park district. The local office force has been in- cleased and now includes five clerks, four male and one female, two car- riers, and a sural delivery carrier. Ade- quate service in windows is maintain- ed for stamps, registry, special deliv- eries, and savings department. A bet- ter train schedule of mail service has also been maintained and the service to and from the local pagsenger sta- tion has likewise been bettered. The local office is in fine condition. The New Postmaster Speculation is naturally rife over the question of who the next postmas- ter will be. According to the hew Tul- ing the local postmastership will come under civil service ruling and will be subject to appointment according to the standard of the ones examined. It is understood that one of the three highest averages will be selected by the postmaster-general who will r commeend the nameto the president and in turn the appointment will be turned over to the Senate for con- firmation. If this is true it is probable that politics will again play a part in the matter as one of the three highest on the list will probabiy be a republi- can and favored for the appointment. Many are of the dpinion that tha present incumbent will be returned to office if politics are taken from the organization. This is concluded because of his knowledge of postal affairs and the fine record which he has mainiained with the department offices in Washington. Mr. Prior was unable to say this morning whether or not he will take the ex- aminativn and is awaiting instruc- tions from Washington in regard to the exam before making any state- ment. The name of James Usher has been mentioned and is known to have the endorsement of a local politician high in cfficial circles. Mr. Usher is a loca. man and the son of Town Clerk R. C. Usher. His name was offered to a local organization which is supposed to be non-political. Tt is reportec that after a spirited de- bate an1 a show of considerable feel- ing the members went on record against endorsing the local man. This is though* to be in maintaining the policy of the body which has gone én record non-political. There are others who think that James J. Graham. present assistant- master, will be in the running if s not turned over to poli- Mr. Graham is well versed in postal matters amd especially in the running of the local offices. His friends are confident that he would maintain a high average if he de- cides to enter the examination. They point out that it would be to his ad- vantage as his reappointment as as- nt would not be probable if a 1blican were to take the office. To Be Discharged.

Meeting of Firemen. \The local firemen held an import- ant business meeting at their rooms in,the town hall last night. The most important business discussed was the purchase of uniforms. It was decided to purchase a new military uniform with fire department designed blouse. The uniforms will be of dark blue and will be purchased immediately. They are expected to be here by Septem- ber 1. Other routine business was discussed but nothing of importance was voted upon besides that of new equipmeni.
