Demands made upon educators, or those in charge of school work, to de- vote some portion of the school day to propaganda work have grown to such an extent as to become a dis- tinct problem, according to Supervisor I3. R. Showalter. The appeals have grown consider- ably since the war and include large fields of activity, some of decided val- ue and others which are of no value at all from the standpoint of time in- volved. The list includes patriotic, hygienic, social, civic, economic, char- itable, advertising, society, personal, propagandist and subscription propo- sitions. During the year requests have been received in Berlin to observe many special “‘weeks.” Of this list a very few are observed locally and those are as follows: "Safety First Week," “Fire prevention week,"” “‘Pure speech week," ‘“Forest protection week."” The special days and exercises ob- gerved are Columbus day, Armistice day, Thanksgiving day, Christmas ex- ercises, Lincoin day, Washington's birthday, Grant day, Memorial day, Flag day, Arbor day and thrift days. Of the numerous campaigns I quested, there are but three observed in town. They are anti-tuberculosis campaign, the Audubon club cam- paign and the Near Dast relief cam- paign. Educational Value In many of the larger cities and towns throughout the state there are more holidays, campaigns and special weeks ‘observed, but Superintendent Showalter stated this morning that all those observed in Berlin schools are of an educational value only and are associated with the idea the school is supposed to carry out. style, with belt, in colors of navy, white, and an exceptional big bar- In regard to the anti-tuberculosis campaign, Mr. Showalter said that this is worked in with the lessons in hygiene, Health circulars, which are printed by the state board of educa- tion in many foreign languages, are distributed among the local school children to be taken home to their parents. Superintendent Showalter, in com- menting upon the observance of these many days and weeks says: ‘The children are here to do some specific work such as reading, writing and arithmetic. T believe most of these causes for propaganda are worthy but the children cannot take the time to observe each one as they come along. It would take too much time off from their regular work. “We are particularly careful in Berlin when funds are being solicited as T do not want the children to get the idea that the scho are a place to be asked for mon Chautauqua In Kensington Announceemnt was made at the performance of the Berlin Community chautauqua given in the town hall last evening that the performances for this afternoon and evening as well as for tomorrow afternoon and night will be given in the Foresters hall on Farmington road, Kensington. When the tickets for the chautau- qua were sold it was stated that the affair would be held in Kensington and as a result a large number from this section of the town have pur- chased tickets. The people have been going to the town hall in Berlin' for the shows but they believe that the events should be staged in Kensington as was agreed upon previously. The final meeting of the guarantors of the association will be held at For- esters hall tomorrow evening at 7:30 o'clock. Claude Stevens, president, urges all guarantors to attend gathering as all matters of import- ance will be settled between the guarantors and the chautauqua peo- ple. Persons still having tickets are ask- ed to submit a report to George Grif- fith before tomorrow night There are many of the guarantors who have made no report at all in regards to the sale of their tickets and these people are also asked to submit a re- port to Mr. Griffith.

ALLEN New Methodist Pastor Will Pulpit Occupy Sunday — Health Contest Crowd Emphasizes Need of Large Town Building—Items, Many changes for the bettermeént of the industrial and economic condi- tions of the town have been noted during the past few months mostly in view of the large number of young men who have been able to find em- ployment in town after months of enforced idleness. The factories of the town, with the exception of the Bristol Manufactur- ing company's plant, are all running on a fairly standard time basis, with in receiving overtime. The general revival of hus- iness throughout the country is be- ginning to be manifested in the local factories which are making every ef- fort to stage a come-back to normal times. The Standard Steel and Bearings corporation, with headquarters in Philadelphia, has ben hiring men in small numbers but consistently for scme time. The plant, shortly after tke war, was closed down and re- mained thus for months, The officials assured those interested that a change would come just as soon as it was pos- sible. That change is now being seen Although the three shifts of eight hours each are no longer part of the shop’s moutine, a normal working been busily engaged there for some time. A report was current last week that 40 men were put to work on Monday morning but this was denied by the management. It was stated, however, that a few men are being employed as fast as demands necessitate and those in charge look for a steady re- turn to better times. Plainville s interested in this condition because most of the men who are being em- ploved are local young men. The Trumbull Electric company is working on an average schedule. Electrical supplies have always been in demand and the local shop did not suffer as severely as other industries of less importance. The Plainville Casting company, its new shop located on the tracks of the New Haven road, just south of Broad street, is doing a fine business and local men have been employed there in fair numbers for past months. Other industries in the town have recovered to some extent and local persons interested in industrial con- |ditions are more optimistic than ever. Economically, a change has been recorded in the reduction in prices of many of life's nece ies including food and clothing. Prices which pre- vailed some months ago have been shattered and lower selling prices are in vogue. Shoes, wearing apparel, confectionery and "ice cream, and other commodities have seen a reduc- tion which has satisfied a public long expecting a change for the better, . Funeral of Civil War Veteran. The funeral of Bartholomew Allen, veteran of the civil war, who died at the Old Soldiers’ home in Noroton on Sunday at the age of 86 years, was held yesterday afternoon from the Bailey Undertaking Home on Broad street at 1:30 o'clock. DBurial was in Hartford. New Pastor Coming. A. B. Dub.ry has been ap- pastor of the Methodist church by the conference recently held on Long Island. Rev. Mr. Du- bary succeeds Rev. W. E. Sullens who eft yesterday for Missouri after filling in as temporary pastor for several weeks. The new appointee comes from Canada and will preach his first sermon here next Sunday morning. The gathering of mothers and chil- dren at the town hall last Thursday afternoon has added another em- phatic proof that the town is in need of a building with a hall which will accommodate a moderate gathering. The court room is the only available place in the town at present, the Grange hall is rented. Thursday, over 100 children were brought to the building by their proud parents and when the total tried to jam into the small court room, the impossi- bility of the situation was seen by John E. Lamb, who was in charge of the gathering. Mr. Lamb was fortu- nate in making connections with Chief Edward P.
