Berlin News KENSINGTON FIRE DISTRICT MEETS Yote to Borrow $5,000 to Com- plete New Water System GRANGE FAIR A SUCCESS Yirst Night of Grange Fair—Election Monday — Hiltbrand-Stewart Wed- ding—Other Notes of Interest About Town. The long-heralded meeting of the Kensington fire district was held last evening and a large and enthusiastic gathering was pres:nt. The meeting tegan at 8 o'clock, but it was nearly four hours later when a motion was made to adjourn. Much business of importance was discussed and acted upon. The meeting was mostly con- cerped with the building of the new water system in the town and there was much discussion regarding it. It was voted to borrow $5,000 in order to complete the system. This money will go toward the purchase of meters and other necessary equip- ment for the running of the lines. There was very little objection to this idea. The rules and regulations govern- ing the use of the water were read. They were accepted after being read, “but much time was taken because these rules were read paragraph by paragraph and a discussion followed each. The district committee was empow- ered to go ahead with the work of connecting up houses with the mains and to Bollect payments on the con- nections. In conjunction with this i1 was decided to charge $15 as a mini- mum price for connecting the house with the mains. The people were evidently pleased with the water and light because no objections were registered when an 8 mill tax was levied, 4 mills on water and 4 mills on light. There was a lengthy discussion as to whether the water mains should be ex- tended from Grove Hill to Buckley's Ltakery. It seemed to be the opinion of some present that this should be done, but there was opposition and no agreement could be reached. The problem will be taken up at a future meeting, it was decided. Regarding the rate for installation of water, $15, it was the general be- llef that it is not too much, although some said that the rate was too high. A large number of people have been wanting water as soon as possible and have only been waiting for the com- mittee to be empowered to go ahead with the work and make conneclions. Now that they have the power, that work should be attended to at once, according to several of the towns- people. Anyone desiring to have water brought into his house will be oblig- ed to apply to the committee and may do so at any time at the office of the district. The applications will be taken up at the weekly meetings of the committee on Monday evenings. Arthur L. Moffit was in charge’ of the meeting last evening. Grange Fair Successful. The Berlin Grange fair opened yes- e —— <« DANCE -:- Foresters’ Hall Kensington SATURDAY EVG. — McKeon’s Orchestra — Regular $1.00 value. terday with a large crowd in attend- ance. People from Berlin and vicin- ity were present and it was indicated that this will be one of the most suc- cessful fairs ever given by the grange. The flower exhibit 1is attracting much attention about the town and a great deal of favorable comment is being heard on every side. The dahlias, exhibited by Mr. and Mrs. MacConichie of Cromwell, were the object of much attention. Other flowers being exhibited are asters, olds and many well-known vari- eties grown by Berlin gardeners. Mrs. George Green is in charge of the ex- hibit, The vegetable exhibit, under the su- pervision of E. B. Adams, was also popular among vegetable growers in the town, many of the best gardeners in the vicinity having sent in speci- mens. One of the features of this exhibit is the group of six extremely large and perfectly formed potatoes taken from the same hill. All the other exhibits were well at- tended, fancy work, canned fruit and home cooking receiving much atten- tion. The voungsters heavily patron- {zed the fish pond and ice cream hooth, as did many of the older peo- ple. Upstairs the blankets, cigars and candy booths also scored heavily. From 8:30 until 12 o'clock dancing was enjoyeds music being furnished by O'Brien's orchestra of New Britain. The fair will continue tonight and to- morrow night. Funeral of Doris Norton. The funeral of Doris Louise Norton, who died yesterday morning, will be held tomorrow afternoon at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Westell A. Norton, and will be private. Hiltbrand-Stewart Wedding. A marriage license was issued to Fred Hiltbrand of Plainville, and Mrs. Catherine Stewart of Berlin, yes- terday. They were married by Rev. S. A. Fiske, pastor of the Berlin Con- gregational church, last night. Transfers of Property. Several more transfers of property have been recorded at the office of the town clerk within the last few days.

HARINGTON TRIED SOLDIER. Made a Record as a Strategist in the World War. London, Sept. 29.— (Associated Press.)—DBrig. Gen. Sir Charles Har- ington, commander of the British forces in Constantinople, into whose hands has been placed the issue of determining between peace and war along the Dardanelles, is held by military experts to be one of the ablest British soldiers of modern his- tory., There is much of the diplomat in him but he is typically a fighter. During the war, when General Har- ington, as chief of staff of the Second British Army, planned the brilliant strokes which made that army world famous, experts frequently remarked that he was fully competent to be Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Forces, should occa- sion arise. The present British commander in Constantinople is a quiet, a rather retiring man of pleasing personality, One needs to talk with him only a few moments to realize that he is pos- sessed of great ability and force of character. His firm mouth and pen- ctrating eyes give an early warning that he is not to be trifled with. He has a cool, analytical mind and an almost uncanny foresight—some have called it a super-abundance of horse sense, It was this, coupled with his long experience as an active fighter, which enabled him to outguess the Germans during the war. Those who knew him well during the great conflict cannot recall a time, even during the periods which looked blackest for the Allies, when he showed any signs of emotion or “nerves.” He was always the same cool and collected man who could di- vert his attention from matters of grave moment to attend to some comparatively unimportant detail without losing his balance. One of his outstanding characteris- tics, which is probably linked up with his analytic mind, was his ability to give justice to all. He invariably placed the credit or blame where it belonged and, as an indication of his bigness, he was always free to ad- mit when an error of judgment had been made by the British in the cam- paign. General Harrington is 50 years of age. He served on the British staff in the South African war and was men- tioned in dispatches twice, receiving the decoration of the Distinguished Service Order. He served throughout the European war, and following the armistice was Deputy Chief of the Im- perial General Staff. He received the command of the allied forces about the Black Sea in 1920.

No Soap Better ~——For Your Skin=—— Than Cuticura The rubber company alleges that the owners of the local garage owe the concern $100 and are after a payment. The place is operated by Frank Sen- atoro and Thomas Zibbidio, both Hartford men, who recently purchas- ed the business from local parties. To Start Business James J. Foran, employed at the W. J. Hemingway grocery store on West Main street, has tendered. his resignation to the store owners and will leave soon. Mr. Foran has been employed there for the past 12 years and is well known locally. He intends to commence an up-to-date store near his home on Whiting street and will be ready to serve the public in the near future. His position at the Hemingway store will be filled by Francis Cunningham of Maple street, Plainville Briefs Tonight the debating team from the Willlam Berry lodge, Knights of Py- thias, Southington, will visit the local lodge and engage in debate with the Pythian lodge team. The Plainville lodge teams is composed of Harry Bonney, Charles Klatt and Edward Aspinall. The debate will he on, resolved, “That the Grand Chancellor should receive his travelling ex- penses.”” The local team is on the negative side, A committee has been appointed by the Brock-Barnes post to secure new Th robberies were reported to the local police who in turn notifled the New Britain authorities, believing that the same key worker was the one who had perpetrated a number of daring breaks in that city. 'An excellent de- scription has been given of a strang- er seen about Plainville for some time and who the police believe may be able to throw some light upon the cases. 'This party is apparently 35 years old, smooth faced, stout, about five feet seven inches tall and wear- ing a blue suit and cap. A man an- swering this description was seen near the Schmidt home at Mountain View. It is sume time now since the town has been visited by key workers and with the epidemic of thefts in New Britain, it is believed that the same party came to Plainville for a try. Several of the housekeepers of the town report having been bothered lately by salesmen who are trying to dispose of certain articles and who insist on gaining entrance to the house in order to display their wares at a better advantage. Once inside they have been noticed to take ex- cellent account of the general lay- out of the place instead of trying to sell their goods. One local woman reports that such a party came to her home and tried to get her handbag which was lay- ing on the table at the time she was talking to him.

ADOPT ENGLISH STYLE Yale and Oxford Debating Teams to Be Split Up in Coming Meeting at Request of Visiting Team. New Haven, Sept. 29.—English style will be followed in the Yale- Oxford debate at Yale on October 6. Two Yale men and one Oxford man will uphold the negative side of the question and two Oxford men and one Yale man will defend the affirmative side. This will be the first debate at Yale under these rules. Prof. Adams who explained the method, said the English style re- quires a different mode of delivery than the one heretofore used. Instead | of precise oratory a lighter and more informal delivery yields the best re- sults. “A gentlemen conversing with his friends on a subject in which all are interested,” was the way Prof. Adams described it. question of Plainville having Sunday movies will be disposed of by the cast- ing of ballots. Both sides for and against the movies, are getting their forces ready for the final clash this evening and one of the most hotly contested debates which ever came to Plainville is expected. This is the first time that the mat- ter of allowing motion pictures in the town has come to a head and the le- gal voters are given the chance to take a hand in the matter. Plainville never did have a moving picture house with the exception of the Air- dome theater on East Main street, which was an open air affair, The owners of this place did run movies on Sunday night much to the indig nation of those who are opposing it | now. The practice did not last long as the theater went out of business. | However, the owners did not take the trouble to ask the selectmen for a permit to run Sunday movies but took the initiative. C. B. Bastman, own- er of the Community theater, which place is the bone of contention, did confer with the board of selectmen, desiring to get their permission in- stead of attempting to go over their | heads and thus probably incite their | wrath which would Kkill his pla s en- tirely. The selectmen saw that Mr. Fastman treated them fairly and on the face of a petition presented, granted a town meeting for the peo- ple to vote on the matter. Mr. Eastman realizes that there is a large force opposing him and knows | that there <ill be a hot battle this| evening. He has been assured the backing of hundreds of prominent men in the town who, although they do not care to go to pictures Sunday | nights as a practice, see no harm in/ allowing them to run. | These same men will not cast their votes without opposition according to | a communication forwarded to the | Herald today. Again the sender of the communication failed to sign his name and again the editorial is against the movies, It seems that every communication received against the movies is unsigned, but those sending one in for them, are always signed. However, as this will be the last of the movie question, this communi- cation will he inserted and the per- SATU SAVE $40 On This New Grafonola Down Easy Weekly Payments Sends It To Your Home Immediately ed anywhere, anytime, Come Early!
