Goldstein of New Britain, a dealer in dry goods, fortunately es- caped serious injury about 10 o'cleck this morning when his Ford deiivery truck skidded on the Middletown road nill just east of ¥he Berlin turnpike, and turned ‘over in the ditch. Goldstein was on his way to Mid- dletown from New Britain, intending to distribute Lis goods. He had had considerabie trouble (in Lkeeping the car in the road, despite chains, and when he struck the dcy bill ‘his cai turned completely around and then toppled over. The truck was of the ' closed type and was badly damaged, Goldstein immediately went to the office of the town clerk and com- plained of the condition of the hill, 4gking why sand had not been put on the ice. Town Clerk A. l. Woodruif explained that the road is not under the supervision of the lown and sug- gested that Mr. Goldstein register his complaint with the state highway department. Several townspeople said this morn- ing that a fence piaced along the road on the side of the. ditch would prevent such accidents, besides giving drivers at night warning as to where the ditch is, the lights of the car showing the fence and also showing the drivers how far to keep from it.

Word was received by Joseph: N, McKernen, president of the local Chamber of Commerce, from the offi- clals at the Standard Steel and Bear- ings Co., that the several plans that they have baen working on with re- gard to the housing situation in town were as yet not completed and they stated that they would not be ready to present them at the special meet- ing of the local Chamber of Com- merce tomorrow night. As the meeting of December § was postponed for two weeks because of their request, it is likely that no ac- tion will be taken on the matter to- morrow night. The meeting, accord- ing to Mr, McKernen, will take place as state before, and will probably be immedintely adjourned until a later date suitable to the Standard Steel and Bearings Co. officials. No details of the plans to be pre- sented to the members of the local chamber could be learned today, but it is expected that some concerted ac- tion will be taken by the manufactur- ers in town to furnish enough places for the newcomers who are expected in town. The date of the next mect- ing will be decided upon tomorrow night, and although it was found necessary to delay the matter at this time, assurance is given that it wil be but a few days when the question will be settled definitely and satisfac- sorily for all concerned. stockings For Disabled.

It has been the custom every Veari tor the local Legion auxiliary to make up Christmas boxes for the hos- pital, but this year the happy plan of filling a stocking with good things was hit upon as a more serviceable and useful «gift for the boys. One stocking of a pair will be placed in- side the other, and the other will be filled with fruit, candy and nuts. In this way, each soldier in the hospital will have a pair of socks to wear be- sides a taste of the good things which everyone has at home during the Christmas time. Besides these, a lit- tle gift will be placed in each stock- ing as a memento from the auxiliary. Clarion Club Mceting.

Sesveral important mat- ters will come up for discussion and the parts of the play in manuscript torm which the club is intending to present in the near future will be dis- tributed. Water Pipes Frozen. The cold snap of last night caused a great deal of inconvenience to M8y} households and business stores be- cause of the freezing of the water pipes. A number of patrons of | “Al's” barbershop appeared at open- {ing time this morning to start the day right by getting shaved, But when the barber went to turn on the water, he found that his supply was stopped and the pipe filled with ice. | Al was not discouraged, however, but he hastened to a neighboring business establishment, more fortunate with | their water supply than he was, and got enough hot water for several faces. Many other reports were received this morning of pipes freezing during | the night. The water company also reported that several meters had been frozen during the night, but work- men were sent to repair the dam- age done. Below Zero. Milkmen making their rounds about 5 o'clock this morning reported that at that hour the thermometer registered three below zero. This is! said by many o be the coldest weath- er in Plainville this year. As the day grew brighter, however, the weather| became milder until at 7 o'clock the thermometer stood at'zero. Later it rose higher, and at 10 o'clock people were beginning to thaw out. Markets Not Open. The report published in a recent issue of the “Henald” stating that the | merchants of the town were keeping their stores open every night this wee' did not include the groceries or| meat markets. Most of the latter have agreed among themselves that no extra exigency appeare at the pres- ent time to make it necessary to keep their places of business open after the regular hours this week, There are! a number of markets and grocery stores which keep open all the time, but most of the proprietors stated that they would not be open nights this week except on the nights which they are open every other week. Mer- chandige stores, such as dry goods, and furnishings stores, will be open for the convenience of the public. l Christmas Club Members.

It has been notiéed that many places are almost impossible to clean, and a request is made that all walks covered with ice that is'too hard to get off, be covered with a coating of sand or cinders to prevent injury to persons who are liable to fall. Many places have not been touched since the first snow fell, and strict meas- ures will be taken in the' very near future if this warning s not heeded.
