That the women of the town are planning to be more than "just inter- ested” in the coming fall political campaign and- elections can be ob- served ‘rom the talk which has been heard lately in regards to having member of the fairer sex serve on the board of selectmen. Even the first rumor that some prominent woman in Berlin would dare seek an office on the board caused quite a bit of ex- citement among the many staid resi- dents of the town apd it is now won- dered just which the women will pre- fer the first, second or third select- man's berth. First Selectman Carter was asked this morning as to what he thought of a woman serving on the board. eaid that he would not he opposed to it although he is satisfied with the members now serving with him and hopes that they will be re-elected in October. 4 Trancis Deming, representative to the legislature and secretary of the Berlin Savings bhank, was asked what he thought of a woman serving on the board and s=aid that he,did not see why a woman could not serve. Oth- ers interested in politics ywere asked and all were of the opinion that a woman could perhaps fillithe bill as well as a man. A woman, if elected to office, would | in all probability go in as a second sclectman as it is felt by many that the first sglectman’s berth should still be filled by a man.

At present there are very few (women holding political offices in this state although the adjoining town of Cromwell has a woman for tax col- lector and it has been reported that the first selectman of the town will be willing to give up his post to a woman in the fall if anyone desires the office. The women of Berlin have not ac- tively interested themselves in politics | {vote two years ago. Previous to that time there were several organizations which consisted of women members ithat held meetings regularly in the interests of promoting women {nto | politics. It has been the policy of these organizations, however, since the vot- jtng franchise was granted, to sit by and lend their support to a suitable |candidate for the office put before the ipublic by either the republican or |democratic party.

The conditions of England in eral seem to have erably since the end of the war, Marshall said. There appear ever, to be many out of work al- though there are chances for em- ployment the same as in this coun- try. The pay is very small, he added On an average, he says, a good suit can be purchased for 55 shillings which is equivalent to about $13 in United States money. The best shoes which are much heavier than in this country, sell for $5. Fresh country butter can be purchased for two shil- lings a pound. This is close to 4§ cents, making the groceries range in the same prices charged here. West Hartlepoole, Mrs. Marshall's native town, has about 30,800 inhabi- | tauts and the chief {industry there {s shipbuilding.

Tt was the condition of the present truck which s now at the local fire station, that caused the commission to refuse to accept it, feeling that they did not get the machine they had ordered. It will he therefore, necessary to return | | the new fire truck to the company and |in its place, use the o!d Pope truck | until the new machine arrives in town {It will take about 90 days before the new truck arrives here. The commis- | ston, however, has been offered the | use of the new truck until the other| one is completed. Reports that the town will be com- {pelled to accept the unsatisfactory truck, has caused some uneasiness among the Plainville residents, feel-| ing that the money voted for buying]| the machine had heen spent for| nothing. The commission, however, | states that matter is entirely in the hands of the board and that they will not accept any apparatus until it is in full compliance with the specifications they made. Letters To Commission | That the townspeople may readily see the stand the commission has taken in regards to the acceptance of the fire truck, the hoard officials have submitted for pubiication, the follow- ing letters, received from the repre- sentatives of the Mack company: August 9, 1922 Fire Committee, Mr. R.
