BERLIN NEWS GREEN NOT TO BE AGTIVE CANDIDATE Knows Nothing of Rumor—For . Tax Collectorship READY FOR CHAUTAUQUA Interesting Programs Announced For the New Form of Entertainment to Play Here Next Week—Court Last Night—Items of Interest. Georse Green of Berlin will not make an active campaign or tax solleetors office at the coming elec- tions this fall. When seen this morning Mr. Green stated that he had no intentions of running for :hat office and knew nothing of the rumor which has been prevalent 1bout town for the past few days, antil yesterday when some one asked him, it he intended to run for the sffice. It was first reported that Mr. Green would oppose Charles F. Lewis at the polls but this morning that he knows noth- ing about it and all that has been going around is mothing more or less than ‘talk. There is also another rumor about town that there is still anothér prominent Berlin resident seeking the job of tax collector. The person in reference could not be reached this morning but it is thought by many that the mention- ing of this persons name as a candi- date is the doings of a sroup of Kensington people. As was previously stated in these columns the women of the demo- crative party do not intend to be ai- roctly active in the elections this tall. Mrs. George Green, who has been prominent in republican women affairs, stated this morning that as far as she knew the republican women of Berlin would be indirect- ly active in the elections although she does not think there will be any women candidates for office With the exception as members of the schoel board. Thé majority of the women about the town have been satisfied with the present administration and do not feel that women would be able to hold down such offices as first selectman, tax collector or town elerk. There will be two vacancies on the school board this year and possibly a third dye to a recent res- ignation of one of the members. In all probability one or two women will seek positions on the schcol committee. Mrs. Green also thinks that more women will be made voters this fall and will aid to put the right men into office. Elberta Peaches Are Early. Peach growers in Kensington, Meri- den and Wallingford as well as South- ingtén, have already begun to pick Elberta peaches and although a com- paratively few have been picked to date, they are coming in fast and work will commence soon to harvest the main erop. It is considered by the OwRers 16 be very early in the year for picking Elberta peaches. By next Saturday it is expected that the ma- jority of the erops in these towns will e —DANCE — GRANGE HALL Berlin Friday Evening McKeon’s Orchestra. he stated | danc have been harvested, weather permit- ting, and the season will have ended two weeks ahead of schedule. This crop is usually picked the middle of September, the tenth being consider- ed the proper time for commencing. A peculiar thing this year is that the New Yerk state Elberta crop is com- ing in at the same time, a thing here- tofore unheard oi. Henry Pratt, a buyer of New York, who has been coming to Wallingford for a number of years and at times to Kensington, stated yesterday that when he heard that the New York crop was coming along for early pick- ing, he could not believe it and has- tened to investigate. He found the report to be true and says this fact will not strengthen the market, to say the least, for usually New York is a few weeks later than Connecticut. In Court Last Night. Morris Binnen of Hartford, appear- ed before Judge George G. Griswold in the town court last night on a charge of reckless driving. Binnen was arrested Sunday by Captain Mc- Murtry of the state police department. McMurtry testified that Binnen was going at about 43 miles an hour along Berlin street and cutting in on ma- chines. He was fined $40 and costs, but took an appeal. Russell F. Williams of Wallingford, appeared in court last night for oper- ating a motor truck without rubber tires. He was released on payment of the costs. Mr. Williams was ar- rested by Captain McMurtry last eve- ning. Judge Griswold stated this morning that court will be held tonight as there arc several cases to come up. Chautauqua Opening Tuesday. Roosevelt said, “The Chautauqua is the most American thing in America.” If this be true then, the community’s program is truly national in bringinz to Berlin four interesting musicians from the Philippine islands. The Filippino has music with charm al his own. Some of this music he play: on native instruments such as the banduria and steel guitar. Adder o these are the violin, mandolin and piano and voices that blend as one Everyone is urged to hear the Filip- pino quartet on the last day of the chautauqua for in addition to the program it is said that people will carry away a better understanding of the Philippine people Tickets for the chautauqua are re- ported as selling very good and th: Junior department tickets are alsv being sold rapidly. Plans are beirg made to make the junior department a feature of the chautauqua when it plays in Berlin. The big tent for the chautauqua will arrive in Kensington next Tuesday morning. It will he taken from the depot over to th= Kensington Grammar school grounds where it will be pitched and all will be in readiness for the opening pro- gram on Tuesday night. The feature of the Tuesday night show will be the Theresa Sheehan concert com- pany. Miss Sheehan wil give charac- ter readings and will be assisted entertaining by a soprano soloist and a violinist Her program will start at S o’clock and will be preceeded by the junior chautauqua. Many people in Berlin are waiting for the Thursday afternoon perform- ance when Dr A. H. Harnly will give his famous lecture on “Making Deni- ocracy Safe for the World.” Dr Harnly is from Chicago and is claimed to be one of the best speakers on any of the chautauqua circuits. He will deliver his lecture at 2:30 o’clock in the afternoon. Lawn Festival Tonisht. Residents of Berlin will be given a little surprise when the members of St. Paul's Fife and Drum corps plan to give a dance usirg a unique system of asking admission at the lawn festival to be given at the T. A. B. rooms this eveninz. Although the system has been used in many of the larger cities and is in use at High- land Lake in Winsted, it has never been tried in Berlin or Kensington. The couple will pay for each dance as they go out on the floor aad will not be charged a general admission price By this method if the persons dance but once they will pay for only one whereas if they daance ten iimes they will pay for ten different dance: An interesting program has als been arranged which is being kept surprise. Refreshments will b served and the committee in charge cordially invites the citizens of th own to be present. More Repair Work. The selectmen of the town have de- cided to repair the bridge on the road leading to the Connecticut Valley Orchards farm in Kensington. This bridge is one of the few in towr which has not been touched under the present administration and is in ba need of repair. The road is also ing repaired. Grounds in Poor Condition. A prominent resident of Berli street recently had a visitor in tow Wwho was active in community work and very desirous of looking over th Worthington community house an srounds. She was unpleasantly sur- rised when shown the grounds and building of the Worthington commun- ity center. It is also popular opini that many others have been surprisco at the looks and conditions of the sround. Inasmuch as Berlin people 1ave showed themselves to be very nuch interested in the proposition it is thought by many that the ground 'bout the place could at least be kept in order. Berlin Bits.
