BERLIN NEWS PARENTS ARE URGED TO VISIT SCHOOLS Superintendent Asks Such When Sessions Are Resumed iGANG LEADERS ~ARRESTED Andrew Lawrence and William Cale, Alleged Gang Leaders, Tried in Middletown Court—Degion Mem- bers Objects—Berlin Bits. Parental visits to the school Berlin will be agitated by Superin- tendent Showalter when the schools oben for the fall term in Septembe.. The report of such visits for last yeat only numbers 351, while in reality Mr. Showalter believes that it should be over the 1,000 mark. The visits in- cluded those of several friends in ad- d'tion to the parents of the pupils. It is asserted that the people of t! town can in other way obtain desir- ahle information relative to the work of the pupils than by paying a'visit to one of the classes. School Attendance. During the past year a total of 1172 éifferent pupils were registered in the Berlin schools. This represents a de- cided improvement over the attend- ance of last year. The term regis- tiation was 1017, the difference of which is represented by the flow of population constantly taking place in the town of Berlin. More than ten per cent of the change is due to thc moving in and out of the town of var- ious families. There was an averasc ottendance of 886 children in attend- ance each day at the schools, during the year. The percentage of attendance for the town of Berlin at present is 92 per cent. The Selden school in Becklev leads with an average attendance of 5 per cent. The Percival school has ¥1 per cent; Junior High, 93 per cent; Kensington, 92.3; Worthingtor, 92.2; Blue Hills, 92 per cent; Hub- bard, 91.2 per cent. Only two schoo's fell below an average of 90. These are tte Ledge with 88.4 per cent and ine South with 86.6 per cent. Ab. sence because of illness is given as the ciuse for the fall in these two cases. During the school year just closel there were 1,189 cases of tardiness. This leaves at least one case for every, »upil registered. The actual numbe: of cases, however, was due to a com- paratively few children who wers babitually tardy . Gang Leaders Arrested. Andrew Lawrence and Willlam Cole, the alleged leaders of the gang of rowdies in East Berlin, have been arrested for assault by the Cromwell authorities. The assault took place just outside of the Berlin town line in West Cromwell so that the arrest was made by the Cromwell authori- tie: The local authorities were pleased to hear that the Cromwell men had, acted and caused the arrest of these boys, if they are the leaders of the gang and disturbing element in East Berlin which has caused so much trouble of late. There is no con- stable in East Berlin but according to Judge George Griswold &n effort will be made to place one in that —r———————— .—DANCE— Tonight GRANGE HALL el ot I town. Mr. Lewis and Judge Griswold, have been watching the activities of. that gang with interest and hope to see just punishment inflicted in their respective cases. Poor Results in Berlin. The efforts to secure homes for the children thréugh a New York newspaper, on Berlin. street, has proven more or less of a failure as there are not many families who will be ‘able to care for them. Many rea« sons are given such as the family being out of town for a vacation, ill~ ness or having other company and not being able to care for more. The results in East Berlin are proving likewise and it is probable that the laurels will have to go to Kensing~ ton for doing the most, for already ten people have volunteered to care for as many and motre children. The children are being brought: here under the auspices of the Ber= lin Motherhood club. It was and is still hoped that at least 20 children will be given homes in the Town of Berlin. This will allow that many, New York tenement. children to see what the big out doors really is. Cour; Las¢ Night, At the session of ‘last night's court two drivers arrested by the state po- lice were tried. J. Messe, of New York city, was fined $50 and costs tor reckless truck driving. The fine was remitted on payment of costs which amounted to $13.06. The same fine was imposed upon M. Ashwell, of Sprinafield, Mass. Ex-Service Men Protest. Some of the Kensington ex-service men protested against the article ap- pearing in last evening’s Herald which states that the American Le- gion wouid back Mr. Carter if he is candidate for selectmen in the fall. They claim that Mr. Carter did not help the ex-service man as alleged in a previous edition of the paper. The representatives of the legion who pro- tested, also stated that they did not think they would be inclined to vote for Mr. Gibney, if perchance he is a candidate for the office now held by Mr. Carter. They also stated that the American Legion is strictly non-political. They do, however, state that they believe that if Mr. Carter had work for any ex-service men out of a job, he would have given it to them. An investi- gation into the matter has not been made but it is probable that at least ona ex-service man has been provid- ed work by tho town under tha sel- ectmanship of Mr. Carter. Rose Binardo. The funeral of Rose Binardo of Worthington Ridge, who was struck by an automobile on Wednesday aft- ernoon aud killed, was held from St. Paul's church in Kensington at o’clock this morning.

Anderson of Camp Street, Married in New York To- day—Ex-Service Men Start Busi- ness—Other Items of Intcrest in Plainville. Fire yesterday afternoon gutted the attic in the home of Axel Johnson on Cook street, and with the addition of a great amount of water, the damage will probably reach wek over $500. Bedding, clothes and other old pro- ducts were stored in the attic of the building. It is thought that the heat of the past days had started the smoldering of fire which, when a breath of air struck it, turned into flames. This theory of spontaneous combustion is the only one held by the authorities. Although the fire it- self was confined to the attic, the wa- ter from many buckets and the con- tents ot four'large automatic chemical sprinklers added their flow to tht damaging affair and leaked and soak- ed through to the cellar. The ceil- ings were loosened by the water and are probably a total loss, The fire alarm failed yesterday af- ternoon and was largely responsible for the headway the flames had gain- ed. The Bristol Manufacturing com- pany’s plant here has been idle for many months and steam is not kept at high pressure at any time. There- fore when the telephone operator in- formed the engineer that the alarm was to be sounded, he pulled the cord but the result was only a sickly hissing souwd which could not be heard as far as Central Square. The hissing continued for the regulation number of blasts but the firemen were few in numbers who knew there ‘was an alarm. So word was telephon- ed to Trumbull’s that there was a fire and the blasts on that factory whistle soon had the men scurrying toward the fire house. There were two errors in the call vesterday. The first has already been mentioned. The other deals with the fire warden. Frank Thompson acts in that capacity in this town and is generally called upon when there is a forest fire of any kind in the town. Yesterday the operator called Thomp- son and told him there was a fire on Cook street. The connection was im- mediately cut off. Thompson think- ing there was a brush or forest fire called on W. Williams to help him and started out for Cook street. The men had shovels and other equipment for the fight but searched in vain for a fire. They asked resid- ents of the street and were informed that a house was burning and that help was needed at once. Thompson then sent in the correct alarm which Bolton-Kasica | finally brought the department to the post, American Legion, will be held | scene.

The members of the fire depart- ment are requested to report at the department headquarters in the town hall any time after 5 o’clock this af- ternoon and until a late hour tonight in order to be measured for their suits which were ordered at a meet- ing of the department Wednesday night. The members are asked to take notice of this appointment as all suits are wanted by September 1 and to insure their delivery the measure- ments must be sent in this week-end Anderson:Orton Wedding. The wedding of Miss Jennie Marie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. An- derson of Camp street, and William Henry Orton of Glens Falls, New York, will be solemnized at 6 o’clock this evening in the Congregational church in the New York town. The couple w1l be attended by Mr. and Mrs. James Boynton of Glens Falls. Miss Anderson was employed in the Stanley Works office and was bopu- iar in town. Her wedding will come as a surprise to her many friends here. After a wedding trip to Lake George the couple will reside in the Empire state. Start Pool Business. John Guiden, winner of the distin- guished service cross for bravery un- der fire. and William Cavanaugh, member of the 27th division who likewise fought in France, have en- tered partnership to conduct a pool business on West Main street under the name of The Ex-Service Men’s club. The two young men are well known here where both have been in the employ of “Fisherman’ Dan Collins. The opening night for busi- ness is scheduled for tomorrow night. Buddies’ of the men plan to. tender them a business reception during the evening. Their new home is locat- ed at 37 West Main street on the sec- ond floor. Aces To Play Sunday. The Aces baseball team will play the Eagies of New Britain at Rock- well fleld Sunday afternoon at 3:15 o’clock. Due to arguments and controver- sies with the other clubs in the lea- gue and due to the poor financial con- dition of the club, the Aces have de- cided to withdraw from the Central Connecticut Baseball league. They were scheduled to play West Hart- ford tomorrow afternoon but because of the decision to withdraw the game has been cancelled. Installation of Officers. District Deputy Grand Master Leonard G. Root of Bristol, installed the officers of the local lodge of 0dd Fellows at the regular meeting held in I O. O. F. hall last evening. There was a large attendance.
