Man in New York City—Johnson Again Taken to New Britain Hospital— Berlin Items. The opening of the next school year in Berlin will see several changes in the public schools. The greatest change of all, however, will take place in the physical education department, Heretotore physical educetions in thé public schools throughout the state has not been . compulsory apd many towns and cities have npt forced their children to take this subject. Under the new plans of the state board of education, however, each town and city will be required to give the pu- pils of the school two and one-half hours a wéek work in physical edu- cation. This will be done in Berlin according to an announcement made this morning by Superintendent Show- alter, who is quoted as being highly in favor of the physical education move- ment throughout the country. With the introduction of this study in the local schools, it does not ne- cessarily mean that more teachers need be employed. Present plans call for the present staff of teachers giv- ing the exercises. Clifford S. Brown- €ll. who is taking a special course in physical training at Coluntbia univer- sity this summer, will come to Berlin early in the fall and address a meet- ing of the Berlin school teachers. At this meeting he will give them point- ers and instructions relative to the year's work in physical education. The bill requiring such work in the schools was passed at the last session of the Legislature. Mr. Showalter explained this morn- ing that of the two and one-half hours’ swork in this line, one-half an hour will be devoted to hygiene. The other two hours will be evenly divid- ed among organized games, supervis- ed plav, folk dancing and games and calisthenics. In making an announce- ment for the change to take place in the public schools of the state, Com- missioner Meredith in Hartford, stat- ed that the recess periods will in all probability be done away with or at least made much shorter. This, however, will not seriously affect Berlin unless the pupil would rather give up part of the recess for the physical culture exercise. The ques- tion, however, will be decided at the next meeting of the Berlin town school committee. In reality the children will not be giving up their recess as games will be played under the supervisibn of the children and they will be given as much time to themselves as before In the state report, Mr. Meredith says that the vacation period in the sum- mer will be cut by two weeks and ‘he school vear added to by the same ength of time. This will not have any effect on Berlin in the immediate future although it may in years to some. Berlin is one year ahead of time m regards to the law which allows he teachers to teach in the schools without giving adequate proof of ‘héir ability. * The state law reads hat every teacher beginning with iN THESE DAYS OF HEAT AND HUMIDITY, PLENTY OF TOWELS ARE A NECESSI!TY, GAINS ARE OFFERED YOU AT A MOST OPPORTUNE TIME. absorbent ones that are very EXTRA HEAVY CANTON CREPE in 40-inch width, regular $6.50 value, $4.50 yard.

Berlin however has required, at the meeting of the school board held last April, that the teachers en- tering in the fall give ample proof of their ability. There are several other important changes to take place in the Berlin schools all of which will be announced before the schools reopen for the fall and winter term ‘in September. Aston—Jones Wedding. Miss Helen Marguerite Jones, sis- ter of Mrs. Fred Crane of Kensins- ton, and Stanley Enoch Aston, of Walkes-Barre, Pepn., were married vesterday afternoon at 4 o'cle€k at the Cathedral of St. Mary the Vir- gin in New York city. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. Charles Winthrop Peabody and the double ring Episcopal service was used. The bride was attended by her sister, Eva R. Jones of Martford, as maid of -honor. Dr. - Edward R. Aston of Wilkes-Barre, brother of the groom, was best man. The bride wore a dress of embroidered brown crepe .de chine and a string of pearls with a French hat of peach blow to match her dress. Shé carried a bou- quet of orchids and sweet peas. The necklace she wore was a gift from the groom. The maid of honor wore midnight blue satin with a hat to match ani carried sweet peas and lilies of the valley. Immediately after the dinner at ine McAlpine roof, the young couple icft on an extended honeymoon trip- They will be at home to their friends after September 1, at 269 Macon street, Brooklyn, New York. Removed to Hospital. John'Jonson of Kensington, an ex- service man ad brother-in-law of \ugust Carlings of the same town, i: in the New Britain General hospital with a fractured skull. Jonson wey iujured about three weeks ago by ba ing thrown from a motorcycle and was | taken to the hospital frem the scene of the accident, suffering from con- cagsion of the brain. He was returned to his home in Kensington at the eni of the week, but his condition was sti! sericus. Dr. R. M. Gdiswold was called in consultation and requested that he be returned to the hospital. An X-ray picture was taken of hi-: head, when it was found he had frzcture at the base of the skull. Repairing Another Bridge. Work will begin soon on the re pairing of the bridge on the roa! lcading to the McMahon farm near t1:e railroad culvert. This bridge w.i closed by the selectmen of the tow jast Saturday. The repairs will b made by the Berlin Construction con: vany. - The tridge in question has been in bad condition for the past threc years in as much as the corner post: have rotted away and made it unsafc for traffic. This is one of the las' li-idges in town to be repaired. Marriage License Issued. Town Clérk Arthur L, Woodruff ha ed a marriage license to Onorat., offiolini, an employe of the Berl Brick company, and Caterino Fumi atti. The latter has been in thi ountry but two days, having arrives from Italy on Sunday. It was througi the influence of the local authoritie that Miss Fumiatti was able to com to Berlin Poor Potato Crops. Several of the local faimers. report to the dealers in tcwn that the DO- tato crop this vear will be a very poor one. Several of the farmers hava started to dig their potatoes and find that there are very few “spuds” in a hill and those that are found ara small ones and not of much-use. The dry spell, it is claimed, bad a great deal to do with tha poor crop. Al- though Berlin is not much of a town for raising peas it is also asserted that this vegetable is a scarcity in the public market as the recent dry spell has turned the green plants yellow and killed the pea pod 2 a G.

Rain Conductosr, Maple Hilk New Britain I AGITATION STARTED FOR CHEMICAL PUMP Fire ~ Department Equipment Would Be Modernized PROTECT OUTSIDE DISTRICTS Autoist Pays Fine of $10 and Costs —Assault Case Continued—Legion Moves Into New Headquarters— Other Items of Interest. Considerable agitation is being started about ‘town in an effort make the Plainville fire department g modern one with modern equipment. This hints mostly at the need of a chemical pump rather than a mere car in which hose can be carried. It is understood that the members of the department are behind this move- ment as well as some of the voters Wwho are interested. While the present equipment is comparatively new, it lacks much in efficiency. The cheémical tanks are all small ones and there is no means of fighting a big blaze if it is located outside the district where hydrant service is offered. The truck carries a few axes, several thousand feet of hose, and the apparel for the fire- fighters. What seems to be wanted is a pumping engine which would afford more protection to the center and new protection to the outskirts of the town. Other small towns in this vicinity have such pumps and main- tain them efficiently. -There seems no reason why Plainville cannot give the same sort of protection to its prop- erty owners. The initial cost of pur- chase would probably be high but the service and protection afforded, be- sides the impression of safety made on insurance companies, would more than balance the big expenditure. It is commonly reported that many members: of the® department at' the present time are afraid to ride on the present piece of apparatus for fear that it may fall apart during some fast trip. Whether this is true or not, the sight of the truck itself shows that it is not very safe and its con- dition would seem to necessitate some action before accidents happen. The truck is nothing but an old tour:ng car with fire fighting chassis. It is vears old and might even be placed on the list of antiquated purchases. Brock-Barnes Changes Home. The home of the Brock-Barnes post of the American Legion has been changed from its former'location on Pierce street to the lower floor of the Grange hall on the same street. process of moving was cared for last night when the members assembled and did the detail work by hand. The new quarters have been:painted and refitted for use by the legion post. Cour; Cases Heard. Leopard Kawski, of Bristol, was ar- rested Sunday night at the center for cutting the silent cop. He did not have his license signed and as a re- sult was placed under arrest. He tried to buy Constable Marino for $10, hence another charge was only added to the many. In court last night the man said he did not care to be in- convenienced and was not trying brib- ery. He was fined $10 and costs by John E. P. Prior with S. S. Gwillim prosecuting. 5 The Gnazzo boy complained that he was assaulted by a Greek resid- ent on Sunday. Last night the two were in court. “This paper charges vou with assault,” stated the prose- cutor, but his words might just as well have fallen on deaf ears. The Greek could not understand him. So interpreters were sent for and then Gnazzo wanted to get hold of his wif- nesses and confusion reigned in gen- eral. The upshot of it was that the judge adjourned the case until to- night at '7:30 when an attempt will be made to balance the scales of jus- tice. Vance Nelson Dead. Vance Nelson of New Haven, well known to local Methodists ,is dead at ajs home in that city. Rev. Dr. Dent preached at the local camp grounds on Friday and Saturday evenings ani then rushed to New Haven, where he was with his dauzhter at her hus- pend's bedsile when he passed away. Appendicitis, developing into periton ias. was the cause of death. The funeral was held this afternoon. His widow, formerly Margaret Dent. was well known to many local people. Traffic Signs Needed The attention of the selectmen has beerr called to the lack of traflic signs in the center of the town. At pres- ent there are no pointers to indicate - roads to Waterbury, New Britain, Bristol or Iartford. Daily perhaps a hundred autoists stop at the cen- ter to inquire the way to Waterbury or Hartford and each time it is be- cause of the courtesy of some local person that they find out. It is prob- able that the selectmen will order signs to be painted which will give the desired information and which will be set up at the center’ of the town. Several automobile associa- tions have set up such signs at pre- vioys titnies but these have either been knocked down or lost their coat- ing of pamt. Several of these old signs remain on the poles but are un- readable from an automobile in the street. Brief Items. Frank Hart and son, Chester, of East Main street. and Elmer Thomas, of the P.
