Former Selectman William Gibney, when seen this morning, appeared to be somewhat opposed to an article in a previous edition 8f the Herald in which it was stated that First Select- man Georze B. Carter was spending as much time if not more for the interest of the town than any other selectman who has held office. Mr. Gibney did not deny that Mr. Carter is spending a great deal of his time for the best welfare of the town but Ze did not feel that he was spending any more than his predecessors. wmr. Gibn 2y was first selectman in the town of Berlin for fourteen years and as he stated this morning all of his time was spent on, this job work- ing for the town He added that he went around town with the men when repairs were made; on the road and often times acted as “one of the men” and aided with the shovel if neces. n asked as to what stand would take in the fall when the po- litical buds would begin to open, Mr. Gibney replied that for the pres- ent he would be silent on the ques- tion. He did not state whether he would or would not be a candidate for first selectman. He also stated that he has never told anyone in this town whether or not he would run for any town office this year. “As for politics in the Town of Berlin,” Mr. Gibney said, “there will be more than enough candidates for any office to be filled at the coming fall elections. There are a great many men out of work who would prob- ably fill some positions and I ex- pect that political activities will be greater this year than in years gone by.” Poor Year for Marriages. Figures compiled by Town Clerk Arthur Woodruff show that the mar- riages in the months of June and July for 1921 were less than the number for the same months in the previous year. In 1921 there were 3 marriages performed in the town of Berlin for the month of June and 5 for July. For the year 1920 there were 8 marriages in June and 6 in July. The birth certificates for the same time show that in June and July, 1920, there were 15 babies born the first month and 7 the last. In 1921, six were born in June and 7 in July. No More Five Trips A notice has been received by the station agent at the Berlin depot to the effect that after September 1, five trip tickets Wwill not be issued be- tween Berlin and New Britain. purchasing these tickets the muter has been able to save several cents. No substitute as yet has been offered in its place. ” Berlin Items The refMfilar meeting of the Regal Review of| the Maccabees will be held tomorrow 'evening at St. Paul's T. A.

Lacking German' Ships, Take Sailings From British Isles. London, Aug. 4.—England has it result of the appliance of a proper and definite signal for automobilists. This matter was menuoned at the last meeting and it was decided to speak to the motor vehicle commissioner in regards to a set form of rules govern- ing signals by drivers. It appears that the signals at present are not definite and when an autoist holds out his hand it does not signify whether or not he is to stop or turn a cor- ner. The matter was therefore taken up with Motor Commissioner R. B. Stoeckel who approved of the plan and promised his hearty cooperatren. A committee will be selected to ar- range for Mr, Stoeckel to attend 2 meeting of the chamber and the plans threshed out then. It is an excellent plan and will probably turn out that Plainville has taken the initiative to form signals which may be used broadcast throughout the entire state. The trolley situation has improved considerable since the Chamber of Commerce has approached the trolley offictals in regards to several® small improvements about the center. The matter of having the trolley cars stop near the watering trough was re- ceived spendidly and this does away with the congestion of traffic in the direct center of the town which oc- curred when the cars stopped in front of Neri's block. Another matter which will be referred to the trolley com- pany will be carefulness of the meo- tormen and conductors. The other day a prominent citizen was driving past the center in his automobile and without any warning whatever, such as the ringing of the bell or signal, the trolley cars puled out from the stopping place and caused a near smash-up. Many small items such as this will be discussed as they will aid materially in safeguarding the pedes- trians while crossing at this point. School Improvements. The old school building will be painted soon and various other repairs which are necessary, will be made. The school committee held its regu- lar meeting last night and made plans for this work. The building will be finished before the opening of the term in September. Bids will be re- ceived from any local painting con- tractor and may be sent to Mr. Os- borne of the school committee. Another important improvement will be the installation of standpipes in the building. These will be placed one on each floor and lengths of hose will be connected thereon for the use in case of fire. The hose will be capable of reaching to the farthest room on that floor and will safeguard the old building greatly. The teach- ers’ contracts were discussed and this matter is being settled with satisfac- tion. It is not believed that there will be any difficulty experenced in securing teachers for the force this term. . Wildcat Dies A hugh wildcat, owned by a carni- val which pulled into town Monda morning died at the railroad station yesterday. The cat was one of the fea-~ tures of the carnival and the owners will feel its loss keenly. As yet, there has not been any performance here ihands full in dealing with European .nigrants bound for the United States who formerly went in German ships. . Congestion in the ports of the Unit- :1 Kingdom and. the recent outbreas f typhus in Russia and the Balkan have caused the United States Public Health Service to bestir itself. At tha prcsent time three American surgeons are at work herethe first public health officials in the United King- dom. Dr. W. J. Pettus, formerly Assistant rgeon General of the United States, ; in general charge of the work with offices in the Consulate. Dr. Burr merguson will have direction of 0,- ations at the port of Londonand Southampton and Dr. N. B. Robin- scn at Liverpool. Duties which the new organizatior. will perform include the supervision ot inspection and handling of all em- icrants for America and fumigation of ships for rats and vermin. This work was formerly carried ou tnrough the ordinary gonsular chan- uels, but now it has grown to such proportions as to make additional help necessary. All second class and third class pas- sengers bound for the United States must submit to medical inspection be- fore a sailing permit is issued. Tha emigrants are divided into two classes ¢iz., the clean and the unclean, the latter being subjected to thorough cleansiny and their clothing disinfect- although the carnival was to have shown this week. Selectman Calor gave the company a permit to pitch a tent but later it was referred to Selectman William Johnson. He has not been approached.on the matter. A.tent has been erected at Neal's court where some of the show men spend the night.

CLUB LUNCHEONS SOCIAL BENEFIT Kiwanis a;ld—gtary Clubs Yaluable for Go-operation New York, Aug. 4.—The luncheon club idea as a means of cultivating the spirit of brotherhood and co-op- eration among business and profe: sional men is rapidly spreading throughout the uU{nlted States and Canada. These clubs today in all sections of North America are aiding in the problems of reconstruction and are promoting the principles of good government and good ecitizenship and ~are promising to become great business building organizations. Since the birth of the luncheon ciub idea in Chicago, February 23 190 when the first group of Ro-, tarians launched their organization, (wo other international associations nave been formed—the Lions and the Kiwanis—which together with the Rotary have a total membership of nearly 150,000 divided into 1740 dif- ferent clubs. . Taking as it slogan, “Service, not Self—He profits most who :serves best,” the Rotary Club has become (ne largest of these luncheon clubs, having 909 clubs with a membership of more than 70,000 of the represen- tative business and professional mea of the country. The Rotarians urge the Golden Rule in business dealings and their objects are set forth as follows: “To promote the recognition of the worthiness of all legitimate oc- cugpations and th dignify each mem- ber’s occupation as affording him an opportunity to serve society. “To encourage high ethical stand- aras in business and professions. | To increase the efficiency of each member by the development of individual ideas and business meth- ods. . “To stimulate the desire of each member to be of service to his fel- low men and society in general. “To momote the specializing of ac- quaintance as an opportunity for scrvice and an aid to success. “To quicken the interest of eoch member in the public, welfare of his community and to co-operate with others in civic, social, commercial ana industrial development. The international headquarters of the Rotary Club is at Chicago, and its officers are: Crawford C. Mc- Cullough, Fort William, Canada, president; Ralph 'W. Cummings, Lan- caster, Pa., first vice-president; Wil- liam Coppock, Council Bluff, Ia., sec- ond vice-president; H. J. Luther Stark, Orange, Tex., third vice-presi- dent; Rufus F. Chapin, Chicago, treasurer. The second luncheon club associ- ation to be founded—the Interna- tional Kiawanis Club—was organized at Detroit, January 7, 1915, by a group of business men, who took as their name, one of Indian origin, which stands for the observance of the Golden Rule in private,. civic, so- cial and business life. The Kiwanis also aims to pro- mote the spirit of fraternalism among business and professional men &#nd one of its main objects is to discuss and study the science og bus- iness building and to promote co-op eration between its members in the development of the various lines they vepresent.” “We build,” is the motto of the Ki- wanians, who are also advocating that in the present day of reconstruc- tion “sane , thinking must prevail against avariciousness and greed.’” Among its distinguished members, the Kiwanians boast of President Harding, a charter member of the Marion, O., club, the Prince of ‘Wales, member of Montraal club, and Presi- dent Obregon of Mexico, member of a Texas club. President Harding sn speaking of the Kiwanis said: “If i can have with me in my and lfg, spirit of ita CrEMMN oo vork Kiwanis, sgith -\ %}l ,p;/r Ay A ’ bl no fear of the morrow. Your motto, ‘We Build,” is the greatest thing in the world, but we must not only build, but preserve. I have been try= ing to organize a little Kiwanis club of my own. There are to be only ten members, but I am practicing the very thought which you have in your own organization. I am trying to pick an outstanding leader in each line for the ten places in my cabinet™ The Kiwanis now has 548 clubs with a membership of more than 50,- 000. Its international offices are im Chicago and its officers are: Harry Harr, Baltimore, president; Victor M, Johnson, Rickford. Ill., first vice- president; Fred W. Hobson, Brandon, Man., second vice-president; Edward Howell, Oklahoma City, Okla., third- vice-president; F. C. W. Parker, Chi- cago, secretary, and R. A. Mansfield, New York city, chairman district gov= ernors. The youngest of the business lunch= eon clubs is the Lions, who were or- ganized in Chicago in Juhe, 1917, at a meeting of various independent or- ganizations, and since that time has incregsed 202 clubs with a member- ship of more than 20,000. The Lions cater to the younger business and professional men and stand for loyalty to country, commun- ity and homel individual integrity in thought, word and deed, one flag and one language, new ideals, new hopes, new ambitions in business and pro- fession, and service founded on the golden rule. The Lions have taken as their slo- gan: “Laberty, Intelligence, our na=- tion's safety. The principles of the Lions pro- vide: “Full and hearty cooperation with all other clubs, the Chamber of Com- merce, and other civic and commer- cial organizations,.in all movements in the community which seek to pro- mote any betterment, civic. industrial or educational, and any plans looking towards the elimination of class dis« tinction. “Promotion of public health, hy- giene and sanitation, especially among those who need" instruction and guid- ance in the care and feeding of chil- dren. “Being an organization thorousghly loyal to our government it is our spe- cial interest to advance education in the language, customs, ideals and government of our country, especially among adults of foreign birth. #Strict adherence to the highest code of ethics in business and social relations. “The biggest asset of any nation being its people, one of the cardinal points of Lionism is the cultivation of a spirit of genuine brotherhood among men."” The Lions headquarters are in Chi- cago and its officers are: Dr. C. C. Reid, Denver, Col., president; Ewen W. Cameron, Minneapolis, Minn., first vice-presiden Harry A. Newman, Toronto, Ont., second vice-president; 0. C.
