MEETING Standing and Council Committees Will | o necessary to - deet on January 4—Kensington Post Office Has Busy Christmas Season—Gatherings Postponed. 0O1d Dame Winter, in its first storm of severity, has made a deserted vil- lage out of Berlin. Residents upon awakening this morning were found to be shut in and were forced to shovel their way out of their homes in an effort to reach ‘Sheir places of employment. Trolley cars did not run into this town from New Britain after 5 o'clock yesterday-afternoon, and the first car this morning did not arrive until almost noon, and can only as far as the switch in Kensington. Pre- vious to this time the Berlin cars teaving the center of New Britain op- erated as far as Ash street only. Automobile traffic was tled up all of last night and this morning al- though several machines were able to plow their way .through the snow- drifts along the turnpike and other roads this afternoon. New Britain residents employed in Berlin factories who are accustomed to riding to work on the troliey found it necessary to ride on the Berlin “dinky” of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company. This train operated on regular schedule running a few minutes late at times in order to make connections with some of the main line trains.

These are but a The service on the electrified di- vision of the New Haven road from Middletown to Berlin was very poor this morning and the first trip was omitted. Passengers who planned to leave Middletown as early as 6;30 o'clock did not arrive in Berlin until after 8 o'clock. The trains on the main line from Hartford to New Ha- ven were operating anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes late, although this was not blamed onto the storm inasmuch as train over this line have been op- erating on late schedules for the past several weeks, . CoAdfons under 'the " railroad bridge:at: Kensington are anything but pleasant where huge snowdrifts have formed and at that spot traffic was practically blocked this morning. Sev- eral automobiles ventured from New Britain through Berlin to Meriden and other cities, but many of them became stalled in the snow so that it have other cars come to pull them out. Passage on the roads in the rural section of the town is still an impos- sibility and it is,not expected that these roads will be in an even fairly good condition for traveling for at least another week. Berlin people experienced little dif- ficulty with the telephone service as this line of business was not inter- fered with by the storm. In some of the remote sections trees had been felled by the force of the wind. At two different times many ‘of the homes were in darkness for a stretch of time when the electric power failed and in many instances it was neces- sary to go into the attic and bring down the old lamps that were used when grandma was a girl. The storm, however, has proven a delight to the hundreds of school chil- dren who this week are enjoying their annual .Christmas vacation and at last will be given an opportunity to use the brand new sleds that Santa Claus gave them for Christmas. Still oth- ers gre disappointed to think that skafMg is spoiled after Santa had brought them new skates. Postpone Legion Meeting. The meeting of Bolton-Kasica post, American Legion, scheduled for last cvening was not held because of the storm. Lawrence Southard, in charge of the arrangemnts, stated this morning that the meeting will be held some evening next week the cxact date to be announced later. Community Council Meeting.

HAVE DARK HAIR 'ANDLOOK YOUNG Nobody Can Tell When You Darken Gray, Faded Hair With Sage Tea. Grandmother kept her hair beaus tifully darkened, glossy and attrac- tive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sul- phur, - Whenever her hair took on that .dull, faded or streaked appear- ance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphtir Compound,” you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other in- gredients, all ready to use, at very little cost. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggjst says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that npbody can tell it has been ap- plled—it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one gtrand at a time. By morning th: gray hair disappears; after another on Berlin street, The standing committees include the following: House and grounds, so- cial, program, membership, junior and publicity.

Plainville News PLAN COMMISSION T0 HOLD HEARING Building Lines on Whiting Street Betore Property Owners Tonight NOT MUCH INTEREST SHOWN Many Automobiles Stick in Snow- drifts—Blodgett Funeral Tomorrow ~~Grange Officers to Be Installed— Plginville Briefs, The Town Plan hold a hearing this evening at 8 o'clock in the Town Hall for the property owners along Whiting street on the proposals to establish bullding lines. The hearing is to be held for the purpose of getting the sentiment of the property owners with regard to the proposed changes. Not much interest is being shown in the meet- ing by those directly interested. The proposals of the commission for Whiting street are to establish a building line on the east side of Whiting street of 24 feet and a ver- anda line of 16 feet from the point at Central Square beginning at the Neri block and extending the entire length of the street to what is known as Hart's corner. On the west side, the line already established of 27 feet both building and veranda, will be maintained'and a charge will be made from Broad street to the point where the trolley tracks turn oqut from the middle of the street to the Connecti- cut company’s private way. In this area, it is propoded to establish a 35 foot building line with a 27 foot ver- anda line. . A map of Whiting street with the proposed changes drawn thereon will be exhibited at the hearing so that all might have a clear idea of what is proposed. Any objections that the property owners along the street might have to offer, will be heard together with any comments on the plan. No decision will be made by the commission tonight, but a will be held in the near future when the matter will be taken up and lines established.

Stalled in Storm About ten automobiles were stalled last night on Farmington avenue where the snow had drifted to con- siderable height, and wrecking crews from the local garages were working practically the entire night in efforts to losen them. One large truck carrying freight from Torring- ton to-Hartford was stalled in a driit and while the driver went to call as- sistance, another automobile coming through the storm, crashed into his vehicle. The name of the driver of the car could not be ascertained, ana as the automobile was able to drive oft under its own power, it 18 not thought that a great deal of damage was done. The Connecticut company held to its schedule throughout the night, and with the exception of certain runs that were late, the rest o the system was Kkept going. Today\ ‘he early morning cars were late, bat as the morning wore on, the schedule was improved.

Plows of every description ' were pressed into service on the roads and Patrick Collins labored all through the night to keep the state roads open.
