The registrars for the Town of Ber- lin will be in session on Friday, August 4 and again on Friday, August 11, for the purposeé of receiving ap- plications for enrollment on the cau- cus list. They will also be in session on Tuesday, September 5, for the purpose of taking the names of those desirous of becoming voters and on Saturday, September 16, for the pur- pose of making voters. The registrars will sit from o'clock noon until 9 o'clock in evening at beth of the sessions in August which will be held in the Town Hall. Henry Deming and Omar Pelletier are the registrars for this town. Mr. Deming stated this morning that a comparatively small number of applications for caucus registrations are expected next month. Anyone who is now registered is not obliged to apply again, but new voters who de- sire to participate in the coming fall caucuses must file their intentions with the registrars. All applications for enrollment on the caucus must be filled before 9 o'clock on the night of August 11 as anyone who has not submitted an application by that time will not be able to participate in the primaries for the nomination of candidates for the l6cal officers in October and the state offices in November.

The com- mittee has been called together to complete arrangements for the first annual athletic meet wnd outing to be held at the community grounds on Berlin street on August 19. The plans of the meet will be found on the Sports page in this edition. Farmers Prosper On Tourists, Many of the farmers along the main turnpike from Meriden to Hart- ford prosper on the tourists who pass his door and often times stop to pur- chase vegetables and fruits which he may have displayed in front of his home. Last year geveral small shacks were erected along the highway where the farmers placed their vegetables and fruits for sale usually at a price much less than that of the dealers in the city. A few new places have been erected this year and in some in- stances the farmers are rumning gaso- line stations with their garden truck market. It is estimated that there are about 25 shacks in the town of Berlin along the highway where farmers display their products for sale, It is sald that the tourists are not the only ones to benefit from buying their goods from the farmer on the roafd- side but that the dealer benefits as well fnasmuch as it is not necessary for him to cart his products into the city, In this way time and labor is saved as well as money and the farmer can afford to sell at a cheaper price. School Board Meeting. From present indications the school committee will not hold its regular July meeting and the next session of the board will be on Tueaday, August S.

Henry Sutton, who was arraigned before Judge Griswold in the town court Wednesday evening on a charge of assault and whose case was nolled by the court, was a visitor at The Herald office this morning. He called to explain his side of the story in regards to the fracas of last Friday. Mr. Sutton said that he was at Edelson's store when he heard a com- motion and upon going to the scene of the affair a few feet from the store he saw a man attempting to start a fight with a gang of boys, | He did not do anything in the matter at this time, he says, but when he saw the same man attempting to | pick a fight with Fred Hearst, the lo- cal mechanic, he said that he took the man, who was Carl Bloomquist of Hartford, by the arm and was going to put him on the trolley car and have him get out of town before he was arrested. Sutton said that when he saw that Bloomquist was under the {nfluence of liquor he could not, under the law, let him go, so he started to take him to the home of Constable Ventres. He learned, however, that Ventres had moved from his former residence so he decided to take his “prisoner” to the home of Judge Griswold. From the home of Judge Griswold he took him to the New Britain police. Mr. Sutton then said that he went to see Selectman Carter Saturday morning but he was toid that he could do nothing and that the board of selectmen were the only ones who could appoint constables. Mr. Sutton claims, however, that Holcombe, Conley, Jack Elliot, who has been absent for a few games, will BTV applications* for enroliment Caucus Lists. . HENRY C. DEMING, OMAN A.

Although no official action has been taken by the local Grange in regards to joing or organizing a standard time league in eBrlin, it {s under- stood that such action is seriously being considered by many of its mem- bers. Those who belong to the local Grange have stated that they are in favor of standard time and are op- posed to the so-called daylight saving time. At a meeting held early in the spring the local association went on record as being opposed to the day- light saving plan. The State Grange association is be- hind a movemnet which would do away with the daylight saving plan and that organization is backed by the local Grange. , The daylight' saving time interferes with the work of the farmer, it |is said, and for this reason the members of the various Granges are opposed to it. The daylight saving for this year will end in October when the various towns and citles will again adoept standard time.® There are many farm- ers in Berlin who have been working on standard time all summer. - trip which will take them into the mountains of New Hampshire.
