The negative team won the debate held by the Men's Lyceum of Ken- sin~ton last evening on the question: “Resolved: That the town of Berlin should establish a High school not later than Septémber, 1924, The team was composeéd of Claude W. Stevens and George Green, who trought forward some forceful argu- ments against the proposal. An enthusiastic audience comfort- ably filled the parlors of the Kensing- ton Congregational church and show- ed'much interest in the debate, A. L. Moffitt and George Griffith upheld the affirmative side of the question. Two reasons possibly responsible for the defeat of the affirmative team were brought forward by a well known citizen of Berlin this morning. One was that the team failed to suf- ficiently = emphasize the attraction- power of the schoo! and the second was that it did not ‘stress the fact that by embarking upon the program proposed the town would have the ‘school paid for in a few years with the money that it is now expending to send- High 'sch@ol pupils to other towns. The activities of the Lyceum will be watched with interest this winter and it is the hope of many of the residents of the town that more de- bates will, be forthcoming. The judges of the debate were Buell .B. Bassett, A. P. Marsh and Rev. Raymond R. Gilman of the Stanley “OUCH!

The driver fearing for himself and believing the car to be unmanageable, jumped off and the machine went on down the hill, run- ning. into a ditch at the bottom. A well known citizen of East Ber- lin chanced to come along at this time, and together with the driver and several other meén, he succeeded ir pushing the car out of the ditch and Wi h ti is B af 1 i le 1 m T arn up the hill a short distance.

John Garilner Re-clected Commander of Legion Post—Last, Meeting of Ladies' - Society — Pythian Lodge Christmas ‘Tree—Other Notes, Tt was a crest-fallen sorrowful- looking cave man that faced Justico ' | of the Peace Merrit O, Ryder in the town court last evening when Samuel Spetanick of the Mountain View sec- tion was tried on the charges of as- | sault on his 11-year-old son and using | S abusive language. After the testi-| mony was heard on both sides, Jus- tice Ryder imposed a penalty of 60 days in jail with suspension of sen- tence upon the payment of the costs of court amounting to $19. Spetanick was arrested Sunday night by Constable . W. Furrey after a complaint had been made that he had unmercifully beaten his young son. He was locked up over night in | the town hall and tried at last night's session, i It was brought out at the trial that Alex, the youngster, who was the! storm center in the trial, had taken a watch from his father some time ago, and had traded it to another boy for a bicycle. As time passed by, Spetanick missed the timepiece, and | put Alex through the third degree to find its where:4® uts, Alex admitted after a severe gruelling by the irate . parent, that he had used the watch | in his bargain and told to whom he had given it. Straightaway, Spetanick proceeded to truss his young son up with a stout chain and like the master of old leading his slave to the punish- ment block, he led Alex over the road to the home of the boy who held the watch. Here Spetanick made a demand in| no uncertain terms for his watch and insisted that it be immediately pro- duced. It happened that the time- piece was out of order and sadly in| need of repairs, and the youth who had received it in the trade had left | it in a jewelry shop, The father was | told that his watch was at the jew- elers, and that he could have it when it “was returned. providing that he would pay the cost of it, Not satis- fied with this, he became abusive to the mistress of the house, using vile language. He had not gone very far with his tirade, however, when one of the boys in the house escorted him off the property and told him to go home. This only served to anger him all the more, and he marched back home with Alex, still. at the other end of the chain. Arriving' at the stead, he seized the boy bound him securely to a hitching post in- the sard. 'Then, losing all control of him- self he started in to beat the helpless child with a cane. Passersby hear- ing the screams of the lad, remon- “trated with Spetanick, but to no avail. A ‘call was sent in to Constable Ifurrey, and he hurried to the scene and after hearing the story of the witnesses, brought Spetanick to the 'acknp. The man denied that he had used a cane on the boy, but said |that he had given him & whipping with a small switch. He said that the boy had a trouncing coming to him because he has been unruly for some time. He has notjattended school, has, been disobedicnt, besides becoming a | thief by stearing his father's time- piece. Justice Ryder warned Spetanick that he would have to discontinue his, inhuman tactics towards his bo, said that although he realize the boy might be a little wayward, oher steps might be taken to chastise | him without recourse to such severc | measures. He warned.Spetanick that he would be jailed if he* attempted to vent his temper on the boy in the same manner again, Town Hearing Tomorrow | The town hearing on the request| of the Connecticut Co. for permission to install another switch on its lines in front of the old Russell property on Fast Main street, will be held to-g morrow evening according to notices published by Selectman Johnson. A canvass of the local townsfolk gives one the impression that there will be a great deal of objection to the project tomorrow night. 1In fact, some of the local people stated this morning that the project will be de- feated. Representatives of the Connccticut Co. stated that fhe reason they were requesting a new switch was because of the new automatic signal system ordered installed by the public utili- ties commission. The present practice of running short line cars down in front of the postoffice and then back on the other side, will have to be dl.u~I continued, because as soon as the cars hit the signal box overhead, au- tomatically the signal at Lazy Lane will register in red, thereby prevent- ing the incoming cars leaving the switch there until the signal is clear. IPor this reason the officials state, the sw''eh will be necessary. On the other hand, if the new switch were in- stalled, all congestion of traffic in front of the post office would be eliminated in the future. As the cars wing down in front of the post of- fice now, many times, traffic is! blocked because of the inability of the automobiles to pass until the trolley car draws back again. The local objections, however, are; strong against the installation of the! new switch. People point out the! fact that the road bed will be torn up for a long period, and as the road is in fine condition at the present time, digging it up will spoil it. They see | no necessity for another switch where there are two already installed close by the peint where the new one is Spetanick home- Y HERALD, TUESDAY, DECEMBEK 12, 1922, WHAT CAUSES HEADACHES? “Fruit-a-tives” Prevents Auto-Infoxication Auto-intoxication means self- poisoning.

The reasons given at that time, | they say, were plausible enough, and the permission was given with the subsequent insfallation of the switch which is there today. Since that time, however, it has been evident, according to their complaint, that the Connecticut C either abandoned their intent to use the freight station or clse they never intended the new line to be used for the purpose, be- cause the siding has been used for nothing except a parking place for freight cars without any freight being taken on or put off. These and many other objections will be raised, they say, at the hearinz tomorrow night, and from present indications, the re- quest will be turned down. A large number of local people will be pres- ent at the hearing which will be held in the Town hall.
