M, REGAN APPOINTED Former Kensington Man Is To Be Priest At St. Rose'’s Church in Newton—Suit A:llna‘Jnlm Olis— Fire District Meeting—Notes About Town, Selectmen George B. Carter has re. ¢ ived many complaints from resi- dents of both Berlin and Kensington of the number of boys in the town who are shooting off fire works and in that way causing unnecessary noipes, and has been asked to issue a warning to the younger element of the town. The selectman stated this morning that fireworks are not to be set off in Perlin excepting on July ¢ and if there are many more violations of this rule reported to him, the law will be enforced as far as this town is concerned. Although fireworks have been on sule in many of the towns and cities throughout the state for some time most of the Berlin and Kensington stores have but recently placed their stock of goods on the market. There is no tewn ordinance which limits the number of days a merchant has in which to sell his goods and it is for this reason that the local merchants are to be thanked for not having fire- works on sale severa] weeks ago. This morning there were several boys near the Berlin postoftice and at the corper of Berlin street and Hud- son street who were shooting off fire crackers and it is because of these disturbances as well as others that the above warning has been {ssued. Father Regan Transferred. Rev. Michael J. Regan, former resident of Kensington, has been transferred from St. I‘rancis’ Roman Catholic church in Naugatuck as as- sistant pastor, to St. Rose's church in Newton as pastor. The appointment was made by Bishop John J. Nilan of Hartford. Father Regan was born in Ken- sington and spent his boyhood days in this town. Although he lived here he received his education at St. Mary's parochial school in New Britain and at St. Thomas' Seminary in Hartford. He completed his classical studies at the latter school. He was later sent to Eurepe to study by the late Rt. Rev. Bishop Tierney. While .in Europe he studied mod- ern languages and philosophy at Munich, Germany, and was ordained to the priesthood at Eichataett, Ger- many in 1906. He read his first mass at St. Paul's church in Kensingten. His first appointment upon his return to this country was as assistant pastor of the Bacred Heart church in New Haven where he was for five years principal of the parochial scheol, Heé was later transferred to An- sonia and to Wallingford to be of service to the German-speaking peo. ple. Previous to his appointment to Naugatuck in 1918, Father Regan labored for five years at the Immac. ulate Conception church in Hartferd. Decision Rendered Judge J. Dickenson of the court of common pleas at Hartford has ren. dered judgment {n faver of Joseph Scholinick of Kensington against M. H. I'ox, former deputy sheriff, accord. ing to word received yestarday by Khaki for $6.50 each. Lawyer Greenstein, counsel for plaintift. ! The former deputy sheriff attached a car in Schoilnick's possession, which the plaintiff had purchased from Carl Martinson of Hartford.

Suit Is Brought William Olyarchick of New Britain, has brought suit against John Olis of Berlin for $750 for money which he is alleged to have loaned him. Pro- perty of the defendant has been at. tached. The writ which was made out by Lawyer Alfred Lewitt of New Britain, is returnable in the city court of New Britain on the third Monday in July.

Mills, Presenting Diplomas, Tells of Crowded Conditions NEED HIGH SCHOOL HERE Sequaasen Lodge Will Aold Memorial Servicas at Episcopal Church Sum- dsy Morgan Expected Home Seon, L. 8. Mills, acting scheol visitor, presented 67 graduates of the Plain- ville Grammar schoel with their di- plomas at the exercises held in the Congregational church yesterday aft- ernoon. A coincidence in the presen- tation of the diplomas was the fact that nine years ago, when Mr. Mills was first appointed to the local school board, these same pupils were enter- ing the kindergarten of the institu- tion. Mr. Mills gave an excellent address to the class in which he mentioned the present difficulties of the school, especially in regards to the crowded conditions. He urged a High school to care for the rapidly Increasing number of students and gave an ac- eount of the expenses the local school budget is incurred when forced to send graduates to out-of-town High schools. The speech made by Mr. Mills made an Impression upon the tax- payers of the town and mothers of sehoel children who are realizing the need of larger quarters for their High school students. There was a large attendance at the church and the exercises this year surpassed any ever held. Address of Mr. Mills, The following is the address made by Mr. Mill: “In behalf of the tewn school com- mittee and the people of the town, I accept the class, being very grateful to you and the teachers for the work that you have so faithfully done. “The class of 1922 has spoken ably and well this afternoon. No word of mine can in any way add to what this class has said, with scarcely a slip in the exercises. You and I will have to travel long and far to find a gradua- tien evercises more beautiful and fit- ting to the occasion than this. “Yet I fain would ask you to bear with me while 1 speak to you from the fulness of my experience with the boys and girls not only of this town but also of other towns. “The years come and go, class after class comes to this platform, receives its diplomas, and goes forth to suc- cess, we trust and hope. “Now the class of 1023 is with us. For eight years, perhaps more’ for some, they have been working in our public schools, warking with our teachers who are here this afternoon, and with others who have been here before them. Our teachers have worked faithfully and splendidly with these boys and girls, and with others. 1 want to pay tribute to them for their earnest, faithful work with the boys and girls. “There is another factor, mest im- portant of all, are the parents scatter- ed through the audience here, You parents of these boys and girls have spared not, of your fortune or of your Evening—Sergeant Nelson time that these boys and girls might suceeed morning when you may have called perhaps to I'red or Virginla, or Wil llam ‘Time to be getting ready for scheol. You will be late,” and then a little later, 'Is youe halr combed ! Are your clothes brushed? Is your face washed ? Have you got your papers tor your heme work? It goes thut way in my home. Children Must Help "“Then there are the pupils them- selves. Unless these boys and girls had performed the tasks the teachers gave them to do they would not be here today, “Here and there in the audience I sec those whose hair is white with the snows of many winters, citizens of yesterday, ‘and others who are in the prime of life, citizens of today; and in the gallery at my left and right and on the platform the boys and girle,—citizens of tomorrow, citizens of yesterday and citizens of today. You and 1 will pass ere Jong beyond the bourne of time und place and these boys and girls will then be the citizeny of the today which is only a little ways ahead of us, Yesterday as it were, I'rank Osborne, a faithful, conscientious and efficient member of our committee sat with us. Amidst the joys of these exercises we mourn his loss, for he was interested in the citizens of tomorrow. "These boys and girls of Plainville are the greatest asset we have, and it is for the citizens of yesterday and the citizens of today to do our best in every way that we can that these citi- zens of tomorrow may receive the hest that we can possible give them. Need More Room. “We have problem in our Plainville schools, serlous problems, before us. The town has increased in population. The largest class in the history of the school is before us, and the classes will continue to increase in size. Our school houses are crowded to the doors. We hope to be able to take care of all the children for next year, whether we can possibly house them in our school longer is a problem. Doubtless we must have more room. More boys and girls in greater num- ber year after year are knocking at the portals of our schools for admit- tance. We would not refuse them. The people of Plainville have to make plaps for them. We are chanrging a bit with our course 6f study to meet modern conditions. All around us the business world is changing. New Study Starts “In our Tth and 8th grade we are starting Junior High school work, be- cause that is being done throughout the country. We have had approxi- mately 80 boys and girls in High school during this school year, mostly in New Britain, New Britain has raised the tuition to $200 a year per pupil. Bristol is willing to take a few, probably 22 at $150 per pupil, and the problem is before us again for the near future—shall we build and conduct a High school? Possibly it may be the best for us. It needs our most earnest thought and at. tention. 29 Class of 1922, “For you this afternoon the sun of June shines, for you this June day smiles forth through the tears of the past week, for you the soft June breezes blow tor—'What is so rare as a day in June?
