Play 'This Evening—FErect Gas Station—Other Items, The schools of Berlin will remain open during the winter in spite of snow storms, This was the dccision of the school board at a meeting held last evening at the Kensington school. This applies to schools in all sections. There has recently been great un- certainty among parents and children as to whether there wouid be school during the storms. At one time an effort was made to get'a “no school” message to all sections. However, this was not possible, as there is no whistle suitable for that purpose. As a result, about 40 per cent of the children was present on days when it had been decided to have no school. Consequently the board decided to hold school regardless of the weather for children who are able to attend. In stormy weather the parents are to use their own judgment about sending smaller children. B. . Showalter, superintendent of gchools, pointed out the fact the at- tendance during the past six weeks has been extremely low, duc largely to the epidemic of measles which has been quite severe. In some rooms nearly half of the pupils were absent, Mr. Showalter said. he superintendent also reported thet because of the deep snow drifts motor conveyance of the Blue mu.«l children has been impossible. Be- cause of the distance it was deemed inadvisable to use horses. The prob- lem for caring for the Bilue Hil children was referred to the teachers committee and the superintendent. Two appointments were made. Ar- thur H. Martin will be an instructor at the Junior High school in place of Miss Eleanor Fitzpatrick, resigned, and Miss Anne Sullivan will assume duties as principal of the Kensington school and teacher of the sixth grade " Piles are usually due to straining when constipated. Nujol being a lubricant keeps the food waste soft and therefore prevents straining. Doctors prescribe Nujol because it not only soothes the suffering of piles but relieves the irrita- tion, brings comfort and helps to remove them. Nujol is a lubricant—not a medicine or laxative — so gripe. today.

The building committee that the heating plants at the Berlin, Worthington and Kensington schools have been overhauled and placed in good condition. 4 In connection with the sessions of school on stormy days the policy of holding 1 o’clock sessions on stormy days was approved by the committee and will be continued. The recommendation for the pur- chase of English and geography hooks was approved by the committee. - It was decided to hold the next three meetings at the town hall, it being on the trolley line and thus more convenient for members of the board. Thrift Week In Schools. Thrift week is being observed in all schools. The goal this year is to have each child enrolled. It is not a question. of how much money the child puts in, it is the thought of uni- versality, Tl.ast year Berlin barely missed being placed on the national honor roll, three per cent being the margin by which it was excluded. The schools are working this year to get at least 75 per cent of the chil- dren enrolled, as this is the per ceut required for the honor roll. So far thle children are responding well. To Extend Line, The Connecticut Light and Powe: Co. yesterday agreed to extend its power line as far as the South schovl, thus providing light for the Edelson homestead and the home of Harry Edelson. This is to be done at the request of Louis Fdelson. D. A. R. Play. Plans have been completed for the play which the local chapter ol Daughters of the American Revolu. tion will present in the town hall this evening, The cast has been rehears- ing faithfully for the past week and all are certain that a finished produc tion will be witnessed by those who attend. The tickets have been selling well and it is expected that a crowid- ed ‘house will greet the performer: when the curtain rises on the first ac of “Miss "oster's Giift Trolley Service Interrupted The trolley service hetween ind New Britain has been interrupt od to a great extent the past fow daye because of express trucks, which wef stuck in the gnow.
