BLLIN NEWS MALLARNEY HEADS NEW LOCAL PARTY - Independent Political Asso. Will o Meet at Foresters' Hall GHANGE IN AL HOURS Last Mail Will Leave Kensington Of- fice at 5:45 Instcad of 6:45 As at Present—Many Swimmers in Town ~~Berlin Items of Intcrest. Thé Independent Political associa- tion is the name of the new organi- zation in Kensington ‘which has. been more or less of a mystery to many local people. The organizatio . has been in existence for the past five months and for one reason or another members have avoided publicity, of any kind. This party was formed sev- eral months ago by « group of more or less prominent Kensington resi- dents who were a bit dissatisfied with the general town government. At the time of organizing there were not many people in the club but at the present time the membership hits the 150 mark. A meeting of the Independent po- litical party will be held at Foresters’ hall in Kensington at 8 o’clock to- night. At this meeting about 50 new members will be initiated into the order. Plans fcr an outing will also ve discussed as well as a brief out- line of the campaign to be followed at the coming fall elections. Daniel Mallarney is president of this association and Richard Brown is vice-president. T. Basaelli is secre- tary and Peter Georgini is treasurer. A member of the club when inter- viewed this morning stated that the purpose of the club was not to place their own candidate in the field a much as to support one from any other party who is working for the benefit and interest of the town. Members of the club stoutly deny the fact that they have in mind any idea to boost a former selectman for the tame office at the election in the fail. They feel that if any other can- didate is placed on the ticket by either the democratic or republican party and is worthy of their support, this candidate will receive the sup- port of the party. With the mem- bership of the party being increased to about 200 this evening the organ- ization feels that it will be able to play a prominent part in Berlin pol- itiég hereafter. Mail Hour Changes. Word has been received at the Kensington post office from the office of the chief mail clerk in New Haven stating that hereafter the last mail south from Kensington and Berlin will ‘close at 5:45 o’clock and not 6:45 o'cloc’: as at the present time. This change is due, it is stated, because of the fact that the mail car has been taken off of the late train from Springficld and has been added to the train an hour earlier. Difficulty will be experienced at the Kensington post office inasmuch as the office runs on daylight saving time. The railroads on a standard schedule and the local factories stick- e —DANCE — GRANGE HALL Berlin was held this aftern S ———" \ ing to standard only hour earlier in the morning. Since the change in time a few months ago the factories have had, trouble in getting their mail at the local office in time to go out with the last mail and it is expected will have much more trouble under the new arrange- ments. Post Office Record. Not a single complaint in the handl- ing of special delivery letters in the past two years is the record of the Kensington post office, according to Miss Margaret Flynn, assistant at this office.. Even during the war when everything was “topsy turvy’ and up- set there were very few complaints made and none of these were of a serious nature. Nothing is known at this office of the much reported ru- mor f placing 25 cent special deliv- ery stamps on the market. - Will Attend Pageant. Mr. and Mrs. Claude W. Stevens with their youngest son, left this morning on an automobile trip to Plymouth, Mass., where they will stay for several days.

Mecea For Swimmers, Probably due to the fact that there is no longer a good swimming hole in the city of New Britain, the youth of that place take every opportunity to use the local swimming holes, as they are generally called. The hot weather of the past few days has brought the New Britain boys to this town in droves with many complaints being reccived from neighboring houses to the effect that the swim- mers are not properly clothed when in the water. The residents of the town appar- ently have no objection to the bovs swimming if they are properly cloth- ed but are opposed to their bathing if they are not. The majority of the places visited by the swimmers of Rerlin as well as New Britain are “Nine Foot.” the railroad pond, Skinner's, the “Pit’" the “Stump,” the ice pond near the Kensington Clongregational church, Seibert's and Hart's ponds. Griswold Funeral, The funeral of Ward H. Griswold 9n from his late of Berlin, will not the Congregational operating an tional church officiated and | \ burial was in Talcotville, Conn. Rain Does Good. Berlin was visited by a rainstorm yesterday which did a great deal of good insofar as the farmers are con- cerned. The hot weather of the past several weeks had about turned ev- erything that was green into a yellow shade. The rain of yeesterday was a great aid to the dried up crops and prevented a loss of dollars which the farmers might have suffered had there not been the storm. In Torrington Hospital. Frank Wooding of this town is in the Torrington hospital with a brok- en hip as the result of an accident which occurred a few days ago when he fell from a veranda in that town where he was visiting.

Mr. and Mrs. Dellis Lord and daughter of Middletown have been the guests of Mrs. Lord's parents Mr. and Mrs. James Trevethan on Wilcox avenue.

PLAINVILLE NEWS OPTIMISTIC VIEWS FOR LOGAL PLANTS Rockwell’s and Bristol Mig. Co. May Resume Soon OTHER SHOPS ON_ SCHEDULE Funeral of Linden Ratcliffc Held To- day—Mistake in Death of Man— Legion to Hold Festival Tonight— Other Items of Interest. Just at present local people have cause to be very optimistic over the industrial situation. Plainville people in general are now employed, at least in some measure. The number of un- employed is noticeably less and thoso who have obtained work are satisfied if it is three or four days a week. The element which seems to be with out employment at present is com- prised of young men who had not been working long when the depres- sion came and were therefore the first to lose their places. The Trumbull Electric company’s plant seems to be maintaining a stable course these days and the employes generally are satisfied. The hign wages of war time are not being paid. The company is maintaining a regu- lar work schedule although the day’s work ends at 4 instead of 6 as in olden days. Economies in departments have been practised and a gengral faith exists amongst the workers that they will be cared for until better times arrive. Everything is hustle and bustle at the local plant of the Standard Steel and Bearings' Corporation at the present time. This condition would seem to indicate that the plant is soon, due to reopen after having been closed for many months. The slump in the ball bearing market following the months after the armistice, was quick in striking the local plant which was forced to close. Only a force large enough to keep the place in condition of repair was maintained. Within the past few days however it has been noticed that several other men have been employed and it is reported that these are toolmakers and dye setters who are preparing for the reopening of the plant. Local people will wel- come any news of a resumption ot business in the plant as it gave Plain- ville the biggest real estate and busi- ness boom the town ever enjoyed when it started its plant here rignt after the start of the war. A. F. Rock- well of Bristol is seen quite often at the local plant and it is known that he is interested in seeing it reopen and maintain a permanent working schedule. Rumor hath. it that the closing of the ‘Bristel Manufacturing company’s plant is about at an end. It is known that several of the older employes of the company have been busy during the past weeks in getting out sam- ples of the plant's products. The song of the machinery vsed in completing these samples seemed good to the passersby who heard it, as it seemed to presage a return of olden. days when the factory had hundreds in its employ. It is also reported that the company is busy trying to market some new products aside from its old standard articles. If tha new goods and a market it would not be surpris- ing to hear that the plant will re- sume very shortly. The Plainville Casting company, although a young plant, is busy and its fult force is working, some of it overtime. The Henry Baum Plating company, the C. H. Newton Manufac- turing, company and other local plants are working on a fairly stable basis at present. Altogether, the outlook is auite optimistie. Ratcliffe Funeral. The funeral of Linden Ratcliffe, the 23 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ros- coe Ratcliffe of East Main street, who met his death when run over by a freight train in Farmington Wednes- day night, was held from his home at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The serv- ices were in charge of Rev. R. H. Bur- ton. pastor of the Church of Our Saviour. Burial was In West ceme- tery. Tegion Affair Tonight The Brock-Barnes post of the American Legion will hold its ice cream festival in the airdome on East Main street tonight.

In was erroneously reported in town vyesterday that Raiph Roberts, a veteran of the Civil war, was dead. Such report was an error as it was Mr. Roberts’ son. Arthur Roberts, aged 65 vears, who died yesterday morning at the Hartford hospital. The older Mr. Roberts is over 80 years and has now read a story of his own death on two different occa- sions. When he was 21 vears of age another newspaper gave forth a long story of his death. Arthur Roberts leaves his wife, two daughters. Ethel and Marion, and a son, Franklin. He was born in Southington. He was a well known member of the Odd Fellows and the Plainville Fife and Drum Corps. The funeral will be held Sunday after- noon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. G. BE. Taylor will officiate. The members of the drum corps will attend the funeral in a body. Storm Docs Damage.
