BERLIN NEWS CHAUTAUQUA PLANS NEAR COMPLETION Advertising and Ticket Commit- tees Are Active EPWORTH LEAGUE SCHEDULE For Next Three Months-—Misdirect- ed Mail Causes Trouble—Guernsey Breeders’ Meeting—Berlin Bits. Things are gradually being whipped into shape for the Community Chau- tauqua which will appea rin Berlin August 30 to September 2. There was a large attendance at the meeting uf the guarantors held in the Worthing- ton Commupity house on Berlin strect last evening. The tickets committee was well represented and it was de- cided that each of the three captains will elect their own committees to aid them in the sale of tickets. A house to house canvass will be carried out but previous to this time the advertising committee will distri- bute phamphlets and other literature pretaining to the chautauqua, around to the various homes in Berlin, Keu- sington and East Berlin. This will give the people an opportunity to study the chautauqua and will undoubtedly be responsible for the sale of tickets. This same committee also decided at the meeting last evening to distribute ban- ners about town as well as to post the town with more bills. William® W. Fagan and Charles Wright of Kensington were appointed to the concession committee and will have charge of giving out all con- cessions on the grounds. There has been a great demand for these and the women will not have hard work in getting rid of the concessions. At the meeting last night Mr. Showalter gave a short address in which he told the people what the chautauque Teally was. Indications are that the tickets will sell fast and those who have been responsible for bringing the chautau- qua to this town feel that it would be made an apnual affair if successful this year. Among the many unique features of the Community Chautauqua system is its recenty established department of community service. This depart- ment has been established to help the various communities who have this chautauqua. Plans for community homes and Neighborhood houses are also furnished by this company. Epworth League Schedule A schedule of the devotional exer- cises conducted by the Epworth league of the Kensington Methodist church has been made public.

Members of the Connecticut Guern- sey Breeder's association will meet at Moorland farm in Kensington tomor- row as the guest of E. Allen Moore, president of the state association. Mr. Moore, who is recognized as the lead- ing authority of Guernsey breeding in this section, has invited members of the association to meet here to- morrow to inspect the famous blood- ed “fawn and white’” stock he has here as well as his modern dairy farm. Luncheon will be served at the Shuttle Meadow club. The morning will be entirely devoted to an inspec- tion of the farm. In the afternoon, there will be a short business session at which an address will be delivered by Karl B. Musser, eastern represen- tative of the American Guernsey Cat- tle club. He will speak on his work as extensjon dairyman in Connecticut. Represefative breeders have signified their inténtions of coming here from all over New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Many Tears Shed. Many tears were sned at the Berlin depot yesterday afternoon when the children from New York city left for their homes after spending two weeks in town as guest of the Berlin Moth- erhood club. The committee in charge of the event wishes to thank all those who gave donations in the line of fruit, vegetables, milk, egggs and money. They also wish to extend their thanks to the people who co- operated in making all of the picnics and entertainments a success. Most of the children were happy during their stay in Berlin and many were sorry to leave yesterday. Due to the huge success of having the children here this year, plans are now under way to make it an annual af- fair. Mis-directed Mail. Postmaster W. W. Fagan o1 the Kensington postoffice is having his share of trouble in regards to mis- directed mail being sent to the Ken- sington office. There are seven post offices in the United States bearing the name of Kensington. Ahose in addition. to the local office are: one in Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Minne- sota, Ohio and stations in Brooklyn and Philadelphia. At the present time, Mr. Fagan has a registered letter from Poland, di- rected to Kensington, U. S. A. There is no one in town with the name on the envelope and it will be necessary to send it to the dead letter office as there is no return address. Another mistake peeople have, the habit of making in Kensington, is by going to New Britain, write a let- ter or card in that city, address it to “so and so, Cit: and then come to Kensington to mai! it. Mr. Fagan would also like to emphasize the fact that the mail hours are changed and people are asked to get their mal] in the office by 4 o'clock in the after- noon if they expect it to leave that day. Money orders, registered letters and insurances are not given after 4 o'clock standard tome and the mail leaves the local office for the traln at 5:30 o'clock, standard time. Due to the fact that there is so much fac- at the close ot the day, p Ple are arked to mail early. An ex- ample of what might have happened occurred last night when two pack- ages marked ‘perishable,’ came into the office after the mail had lett for the lasc train. They remained until +this morning and went out on the first mail. If they had come in on thme, they would have undoubtedly been delivered this morning, but as it is, they may not reach their destina- tion until tomorrow. Berlin Bits. Word has been received here of the death of Lewis H. Mallory of James- ville, N. Y. He was a former resident. of Berlin and while In town ran tha old Golden Creamery which was lo- cated opposita tha W. H. Webster homestead. Mr. and Mrs. Morris Woodiuff of Berlin street are receiving congratu- lations over the birth of a son, born at the Hartford hospital, last night. A meeting of the Independent Political association will be held in Forester’s hall tomorrow night. Court Mattabasett, Forester's of America, will meet this evening at thae usual time. Mrs. Lawrence Southard has left for Northfield, Mass.,, where she will spend the remainder of the summer at her parent’s summer home. Work has been completed on the painting of the Worthington school on Berlin street. The Kensington school is now being painted on the interior as well as tne exterior. The Boy Scouts of the Berlin Con- | gregational church are making plans for the meetings of that organization which will be resumed some time next month. An epidemic of petty thieving has been going on among several resi- dents on Berlin street and the people are warned to keep on guard. East Berlin Items. The lbrary will be open as usual Friday afternoon for the exchange of books. There will be the regular meeting of the Modern Woodmen society at the Athletic building this evening. E. P. Dunham, of Kensington, was in town on business Wednesday. Miss Etta Lawrence is spending her vacation in Bridgeport.

The motor vehicle commissionersare planning to hold the safety first week starting with Monday, September 19, when all, automobilists will be warned to adhere to the rules governing the driving of cars with care and strive to keep the rate of accidents down. The new automobile signals being completed by President Charles H. Newton and Senator John Trumbull of the Plainville Chamber of Com- merce, will then be put into affect and given a trial. Motor Commissioner Robbins Stoeckel and the two local men held a meeting in the commissioner’s office the new system were gone over with in Hartford and the proposed plans of care. The signals made by the local men were loked upon with favor by the commissioner and after an inter- esting session decided to have them completed with additional suggestions which may come up between now and the first of next month. It is planned then to compile a little booklet with these rules contained therein and be issued to every driver. They will be advised to adhere to these new instructions and hopes are confident in the minds of the orig- inators that they will meet with suc- cess. The signals will be completely revised with additions to the present ones. There will be no confusion in detecting whether or not a driver is to take a corner or come to an abrupt stop.. Later on, signals for night op- erating will be devised and will be put into use after experiments are made. Seclectman’s Report Made. Selectman William J, Johnson has completed his report for the ex. oenses of the town during the past dscal year. The year ended Tues- day of this week. The list will bo looked over by the town auditors, Frank Osborne and L. Benzon. The reports of .the treasurer, town _:ollcv:tor and school board are stiil lorthcoming and will be completed ind ready for the auditors possibly vefore the last of this month. After he work on the part of the audi- ors, the usual book of the annual "eport of the town will be compiied ind printed. It wiil be off the P ibout the last of September. Selectman Johnson .states that his ‘eport for ®his year tis about $3,000 ess in éxpenses for the town than hat of last ycar. There was a otal amount of $69,908.12 used for sxpenditures last season. That will make it about $66,908.12 for the past year’s expenses which is con- sidered excellent taking into con- sideration the vast amount of road work which has been done during he summer. There has been more road repairing done his year than iny previous to this. It is possiblt that other appropniations have not been as much which makes the ex- penses lower this year. To Precsent Bat. A baseball bat will be presented ‘o the player averaging the best per- centage of hits during the three games of a series to be played he- tween the Plainville Athletic club and the Aces of this town. William Downham, manager of the Plainville Engineering and Supply company, will allow any one player making this average, come to his store and select the bat which he most de- sires and be used as his favorite slugger for the remaining games ho plays. Thiis - announcement icomes a bit late as one game has already been played. However the managements of both teams can go over the score ;ards of last Sunday’s game and keep a correct average of the hitting of each man. With this score started, the other two remaining games can be kept track of and the winner be awarded his prize at the close of the series. Fountain Broken. B. 1021, $1635f.0.b. Detroit NO other factor than public appreciation of the SPECIAL-SIX spread mouth-to-mouth fashion by prideful owners, could account for the unques- tioned popularity that it enjoys today. For this unusual car is a member of the Studebaker family of cars whose production and sales, during the first six months of 1921, exceeded those of every other automobile manufacturer in the country with the exception of one manufacturer of a well known and very low-priced car.

Professor Jones of Storrs The fountain at Central Square is | not working and has been idle for some time now. Many of the resi- dents are commenting on this matter and feel that it should be given the attention of the authorities. It pro- vides a place for travelers to quench their thirst while waiting for cars. Sometimes the fountain is given at- tention and gets too ambitious with the result that it keeps running continually and there is fear for the safety of the railroad tracks on West Main street. Some day when the fountain is running over its high wa- ter mark, the tracks will float gent- ly down the highway with the stream. At present, however, there is no fear of this catastrophe. The fountain is like a desert. Or better still presents the appearance of “Kelley’s” after prohibition was put into effect. Peach Cake Social Held. The Epworth league members were rewarded with their efforts at mak- ing the peach cake social a success as there was a large attendance at the Methodist church parlors last night. The supper started at 6 o’clock. A fair sum was realized which will be used for expenses. Other socials will be held and one is being planned for next month.
