A .letter has been received by Francis Deming from W. E. Nason, Junior economist, of the office of ru- ral life studies in the United States department of agriculture, asking for & photogpgbh of the grounds and building &f the Worthingten com- munity center association. The ex- pense of taking the pictures will be paid by the government. The picture wanted must show the front, with the trees and club house, and the rear, with the baseball dia- mond and tennis courts. A letter has also been received by The Herald from Mr. Nason asking for clippings from this paper telling of various events which have occurred at the community house and athletic field. The letter states that the depart- ment plans to make a rather extend- ed reference to this athletic field in a government publication and is seek- ing the pictures giving a good view of the park. The Worthington community center association is practically an out- growth of several attempts made during the past several years by Rev. S. A. Fiske, pastor of the Berlin Congregational church, for sgome sort of a community and athletic club for the young men of the town. Start Organization. Rev. Mr. Fiske called a meeting about three years ago in the interes of forming some sort of a commun- ity organization at which Major F. L. Wilcox was in attendance. This meeting was the beginning pf the as- soclation and Mr. Wilcox stated that if the committee so desired the asso- ciation could have the use of the grounds he owned near the Berlin Congregational church and.the barn which was located on the lot. The committee accepted the offer and was incorporated under the state laws of Connecticut as the Worthing- ton club. Ths name was changed in March of this year to the Worthing- ton community center assoclation. Fix Up Property. The mien of the town immediately began work about the property of Major Wilcox and soon had the barn transformed into a community house The grounds were algo changed and an effort was made at building two tennis courts and starting a baseball diamond. The association was organized with a general membership which included every person in Berlin. The voting membership includes those who pay $1 a vear as dues. The association also has an executive committee which meets once a month to hear the reports of the various committees The center ‘has a house committee and a grounds committee. If an or- ganization in Berlin wishes to use either the house or the grounds it is necessary to secure the permission of the chairman of either committee to do so. Athletic Field. The club has two tennis courts, also opportupity for baseball and other sports which the executive committee hopes to develop this summer. Sev- eral games were played in the tennis courts last year and a baseball team was organized between the married and single men, members of the as- sociation. During the past winter the club- house has been in use most every week and has become a general meet- i place for the young people of the town. On Friday evening, March 24, the committee held a ‘“Community Get-Together” at which there was a large attendance. On March 31, a masquerade ball was held in Grange hall to raise funds for tHe purpose of carrying on the work of the associa- tion. Annual Sheep Roast. An annual sheep roast is held gach fall to which people from out of town are invited and a day of sports is enjoyed. This is the one day in the year at which time both the house and the sport lots are in wuse by everyone in town. Property Transferred. Major F. L. Wilcox recen®ly trans- ferred the property which includes nine acres of land and upon which there is a community house equipped with kitchen, lights, heat, etc., to the Worthington, community center asso- ciation to be used as the by-laws sug- gest, such as for social purposes and recreational needs. If at any time the property is not kept up for any of these purposes, it automatically goes to the Worthington Ecclesiastical sqciety. i The first annual meeting of the community association was held on June 16, 1920 at which time officers were clected. The officersare Robert Deming, president; George DPrentice, first vice-president; Elizabeth Wilcox, second vice-president; Mrs. George | Dodd, secretary and 8. Chase Coale, treasurer. The constitution and by-laws of the assoclation were adopted at a meet- ing held on May 24, 1921. Sunday Baseball Game.

BREWERY DIRECTORS TO DISCUSS CHARGES John Skritulsky, Board Members Into Confer- President, Calls ence Today. John Skritulsky, of the board of di- rectors of the remo Brewery Co. has called a meeting of the directors this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The charges of violating the liquor law, reported brought by Prohibition Chief Yellowly will be discussed. Notification of such charges as have been reported to have been made to Commissioner Haynes by Chief Yel- lowly, has not reached any of the officjals of the brewery. Most of the members of the board of directors claim that a mistake has been made in that the beer alleged to have been shipped from the local brewery was not shipped at all. President Skritulsky, last evening, said that there had been no real beer shipped from the plant to his knowl- edge, but that the directors would find out today if such a thing had been done. He sald that if the brewery assessed $100,000 penalty as recom- mended, it would mean that the local plant would go into bankruptcy, be- cause the corporation had been capi- talized at $100,000 and the brewery | property was estimated to be “m-(h“ $50,000, What the outcome of tne meeting would be could ngt be fore- cast by any of the directors, because of the dbsence of any official notifi- cation of the charges brought. were | Inventories Filed [ In Probate Court The following inventories were fil- | ed this morning in probate court: | Michael Dougherty, cash in New Brit- | ain Savings bank, $1,149.50; Margaret Jones, cash in Berlin Savings bank, $1,025.
