Four new members were added to the Junior committee. They are Kditn Prentice, Lucy Goodwin. Benjamin Cashman and Walter Megley. The donation ‘party is to be the first| - of a series of special events to be held. by« the association during the winter. Others include a card ‘party and an evening of dramatic readings.

It is as im| as ufl-:,n'uh Foods that assist Nature, fix lime in the Mlndued: are essential. ’ L) . the expense." | Has Studied Housing Situation. g 0 “In. addition, the committee had thought that this meeting will take place next week. The soclety was formed some time ago, when the Berlin Chautauqua was here, and has a large member- ship from Kensington, Berlin, Beck- ley and East Berlin. It proved popu- lar with the children and plans are now being. made to continue the .neetings throughout the year. £ The purpose of the organization is to let the children conduct meetings of their own, based on subjects that appeal to .them. James McQueeney is the mayor of the Junior Citizens and he has several assigtants,in his work. He will be in charge of the meetings of the organi- 2ation; e of the case they will support the com- mittee in its recommendations for a high school’ and a new building.” Hold All Day Sewing, The Motherhood club is holding’ an all day sewing in the community house today under the direction of an expert in making children’s clothing. This Hirector was sent by the exten: sion service of Storrs Agricultural col- lege in conjunction with the Farm Bureau, It is plannéd to also open a class in millinery in the course of the win- ter. Several other classes will be organized also. Fire District Meeting, . A meeting of the Kensington fire district was held last evening at tristatevient' of School 'Official Theé ‘following statement was issued | by @'%chdol official after a meeting of the “g¢Hool board last évening: | “A¥" special meeting of the Berlin | town school committee last’ night, it| ‘was votéd to'send to out-of-town high schools the' 20 chlldren now in the 10th’ grade of the Berlin Junior High | school. The children who are affect-| €d by this ruling are: Wanda Chot- kowski, Agnes Garrity, Doris Gibney, Lucy Goodwin, Elizabeth Gugel, Mar- fon Hart, Alice Holmduist, Blanche Johnsen, Marjorie Johnson, Mildred Johnson, Linda Negri, Agnes O'Con- nell, Margaret Ronketty,” Adaline Schurr, Violet Schurr, Barbara Sen- ning, Ruth Skinner; Kenneth Beecher, Edwin Carlson, Jack Cole, Harry Gould, William Johnson, Rosell Meagley, Walton Meagley, Garvie Mo- lumpy, George Pola, Ernest Schofield, Paul Turner and Harold Wamsley. Of these, five will attend Middletown High school, where it was possible to make arrangements for this small group, the balance going to New Brit- ain High school. Action Ts Necessary “The action of the committee, made necessary by the recent special town meeting, adds $4,756 to the present] school budget for out-of-town high school expense, making a total for this item for the current year of $16,284. Since two months have passed since the beginning of the year the increase is less by fifteenth than it would have been. “It has been brought to the atton- tion of members of the school com- mittee that their action in retaining the present 10th grade has been very much misunderstood. This action was taken without legal advice and under the impression that the committee was fully empowered so to do. That the contrary was true was not learned until after sechool had opened in the fall, i Two Platoon System ““The decision to retain the 10th grade was made when the committee became convinced that because of the growth of the Junior High school— which includes the children of the seventh grade in Kensington, and those of the éighth and ninth (which is the same as the first vear of hIxhl school) from all over town—a growth from 104 ¢ i'dren in 1921 to 176 for the present year—-it would be neces- sary to operate the school on the two platoon system. The committee found that the 10th grade could be cared for in the Junior High school under this system without materfally increasing been studying the housing situation in the schools, and had decided to recommeénd the establishing of a full junjor-sentor high school and the| erection of a building to house 'this; school. The action to retain the 10th grade was taken in order to gain a year and to bring about the opera- tion of .the full high school as edrly as possible, since greater economies would be effected in this manner, Thought Is Untrue. “It can readily be seen from this that the thought that the school committee knowingly acted in an ille- gal manner is Untrue, and that its en- tire procedure was based updn a de-| sire to do the best possible thing for the children and people of Berlln.{ The members of the committee' are | confident, also, that as the people of Berlin come to understand the facts which it was voted to extend the’ and Alling streets to the residence of P. J. Buckley, It _was also decided to appropriate a siim not exceeding 3,000 for the purpose of covering expenses connected with this work. Foresters Meet, A meeting of the local lodge Foresters of America was held in Koresters’ hall last evening. Ten ap- plications for membership were re- ceived. It is expected that more than 50 candidates will: be initiated at a meeting in the near future.

Y, Nov. 3.—E. 8 Stacy of Port Gibson, democratic can- didate for the assembly from Ontario county, is under arrest at Canadaigua on a charge of grand larceny, it being alleged he passed,a worthless check for $1756 in payment for a team of horses. Authorities at Canadalgua also allege Stacy passed ' worthless paper on a garage desler and at a tire shop.' His case will go to the I"ebruary grand jury, it was sald to- day. Stacy claim his wife considers him crazy and refuses to give him funds. Agreed on Furrey, In cases where an inspector {s Inesded in this town, the selectmen ! have agreed, it is understood, to depu- (llze Constable E. W. Furrey to act in !that capacity. Mr. Furrey who at present is not only a constable, but a member of the fire department as well, has had wide experience in: the building business and is regarded as 1 a most capable man for the duties of deputy bullding inspector. In the past there have been numer- ous occasions where the services of an inspector have been desired, and in some cases the state police depart- ment has sent a man to this town to handle that work. Advance Many Plans, Several plans had been advanced, It was suggested that permanent of- fice be created to be filled by a man with a knowledge of general build- ing business, he to act as building and plumbing inspector. 1In the early days of the building inspector's office in New Britain this plan was satis- factorily used and at one time the officlal was also entrusted with the tasks of a sanitary inspector. In the course of time the work became greater until today that which was formerly handled by one man is now done by five full time men. The pos- sibility of elaborating upon the in- specting system here brought objec- tion to the appointment of a new offi- cial, and the idea of following out the charter provision is being generally accepted as a good one, Football Sunday Coach Pat Moscall of the Plainville I iatan q | Water mains easterly from Church |f{eam has strengthened his line-up for Sunday's clash with the South End A. C. of Middletown, which is an ag- gregation of former Middletown High school stars.

Mescall's tutelage is bearing abundant fruits with the tocal club, He is a thorough!ly ex- perienced football mentor, having coached the Meriden High school in 1918. He Is also a former gridiron star himself and was a member of the championship Redwood team of Meriden. Lost But One Game So far the locals have finished on ithe short end of the score dnly once this season, that time in the game with Unionville, which resulted in a 13 to 7 win for the opnocing c'ub. The locals Insist that had they been given a ‘“square deal” in that con- test, their slate would be clean today. However, it is a matter of record that Plainville was defeated. A meeting of eommittees of the two clubs is to be held at the Hart- ford Y. M.-C. A, November § at 8:30 o'clock. At that time plans will be | talked over for a return game to be played on neutral grounds and with officlals to be selected jointly by the opposing clubs. The local commit- tee Is to be composed of Ray Neff, Coach Mescall and John Murphy. May Lose Finger.

New Bedford, Nov. 3.—President Harding's veto 6f the soldiers’ ad- justed compensation bill was dictated by “the big business interests” through the secretary of the treasury, Senator David Walsh said in a cam- paign s\;eech here last night. “At the direction of one of the leading representatives of an ultra- rich group in the United States, the present secretary of the treasury, the chief owner of one of the greatest monopolses of the world—the alumi- num trust—every effort to adjust the compensation of the veterans of the war has been thwarted,” _Senator Walsh said. ‘At his demand more than any other person in the couftry, the bonus has been thrust aside by a presidential veto.” At his instance, to the satisfaction of the international bankers, a secret commission was or- ganized to refund the enormous sums of money due the American people through loans to foreign govern- ments during the war. His conception of the government's relationship to this great debt which amounts to.over $11,000,000,000, was that unlimited authorjty should’ be given to him to negotidte in secret this refunding: Such a power which any man would scek for himself in a democracy should characterize him as unfit for public office. This same cabinet offi- cer directed the program that led to the reduction of taxes upon corpora- tion stocks and profiteers in the sum of $615,000,000 per annum." ASKS SHERIFFY AID Custom Officlals in New York are Prevent Seeking Cooperation to Rum smn‘ngglu:g Along Coast. New York, Nov. 3.—Custom offi- cials are planning to ask the govern- ors of New York and New Jersey to enlist services of sheriffs in coastal counties in checking the wave of li- quor which is expected to break on the shores with the arrival of a fleet of British schooners from the Baha- mas within the next few days. 'The New York harbor police were ready to keep a sharp lookout for rum run- ners. Cable advices from Nassau receiv- ed today at the custom house stated that six schooners with about 100,- 0 cases of liuor, had cleared dur- ing the week ending October 31. Al- though the cargoes presumably were destined for Tampico, Mex., and St. Pierre, Miq.. custom officials believed that if they were approached by smull craft outside the three mile. limit they might be induced to rid themselves of some of their cargo.
