A ONCE A YEAR EVENT Berlin Neqfs e DR, GOODWIN TELLS OF VISIT TO CARTER Says He Was Treated Uncivilly, When Roads Were Discussed DAFSICAN WRITES “BERALDY jfl:n'lms Town Official Said Roads Will " Be Fixed “When 1 Get Damned " Good and Ready"—Court Cases Tonight. In response to a statement issued recently by Selectman Carter, Who expressed a desire to have complaints concerning the condition of the roads made direct to him, The “Herald” has received the following communication from Dr. A. J. Goodwin under date of February 28: “To The New Britain ‘Herald'— f“An article published in your paper a'few days ago under the Berlin items in reference to the condition of the roads in and around Berlin, the first selectman mentioned the fact that he would like those who had anything to say on the subject to see him in person, and not have it reach his ears in a roundabout manner. “In accord with the wishes of our first selectman, Mr. Carter, I went to him personally today and asked him when the condition of the road under the railroad bridge on Farmington / avenue would be improved. This is the answer'I received: ‘I am tired of you and your damned family asking me about this. I will have it fixed when I get damned good and ready.' 1 replied that when he got good and ready that the ice would be melted and it would not have to be fixed. He also said that he offered a man ten dollars to fix it and he refused. T asked him where his town teams were, and what they were doing, and he re- plied that ‘He did not have to tell e D ks amaa st b ol b by ] Home-made Rem Stops Coughs Qflfly cough medicine you ever ly easlly and ll:z lllD'P .: :,' The be ':T.‘ién?;-d sa You might be surprised to know that the best tflinz you ¢an use for a severe cough, is & remedy which is easily pre- ared at home in just a few moments.

J. GOODWIN, M. D.” Underpass Being Cleared, The underpass on Iarmington ave- Bpue was in the process of being cleared of ice and snow this morn- ing. A gang of state workmen was busy on the job, The condition of this passway has caused much comment. It was a mass of ice Tuesday, there being no place for pedestrians to walk except in the car tracks. The sidewalk along the north wall of the pass had not been cleared and was extremely slip- pery. Boy Scout Meeting. The members of the Berlin troop of Boy .Scouts will regular meeting in two weeks at the home of Rev. 8. A. Fiske tomorrow evening. The cold weather made it extr.wie- ly uncomfortable for those venturing abroad on the past two Iriday cve- nings, and as the boys from Berlin have to walk over, Rev. Mr. Fiske decided to postpone the meet- ings. Sickness among the membas has also been a drawback. The boys will get busy on their tests as all of them are anxious to go before the court of honor in New Britain. Two Court Cases Scheduled. Two cases are scheduled to come up in the Berlin town court this eve- ning, two young men being charged with breaking up a dance in town last Saturday evening and also dam- aging the door of the hall. They will be tried on a charge of disor-| derly conduct. Judge George Griswold announced this morning that the Walter Munger case will be continued for one month, as the state's witness is still confined to the hospital. Waterhury and the witness for the state, a violinist in the Matis hotel, Meriden, asked him for a ride one evening some time ago as he was leaving Meriden. Before getting far an accident occurred in which \lnunls‘wu seriously injured, am- putation of a ieg being necessary, Sergeant Michael Flynn and Pa- trolman Peter Cabelus of New Britain arrested Judu Jedruski and Charles Prakowski last night for the Berlin authorities on a charge of breach of the peace.

Beale, a prominent welfare worker in New Rrifain, ad- dressed members of the Motherhood DANCE Prize Fox Trot and Tango Saturday, March 3rd, at Foresters’ Hall, Berlin Come One—Come All! those | hold their first| Bast | Munger hails from | the | club yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. E. O. Sheridan, her subject being on welfare work in New Brit- ain. Miss Beale devoted herself largely to describing typical cases that come up. She said that there is one kind of family that needs help, their need arising from temporary financial dif- ficulties, They are given a helping hand and are soon on their feet |again. Then there are other kinds, who can be helped and helped, time and again and always seem to be in the same condition. Transients also come into consideration, people who {arrive'in the city without money or | means of getting anywhere, i One point brought out by the speaker was that the majority of cases are those of people who are go- | Ing through a period of difficulty, and | who would otherwise be capable of | supporting themselves. After the crisis passes they need no more help. Miss Beale said that some of the most interesting cases are those of widows who need help in order to keep together and raise their chil- dren in the manner in which they should be raised. The Motherhood club is planning to meet for an afternoon of sewing in order to aid in charity work in New Britain. The talk given by Miss Beale .was much appreciated and a Plainville News ——— e PYTHIAN SISTERS HOLD GELEBRATION First Anniversary of Plainville Temple Observed Last Evening EMMELINE D.

T a distance she had appeared unusually neat, well - groomed, immaculate. But their first face-to-face meeting brought an une expected discovery. Her teeth were not clean. And he soon lost interest in her. So many people over-look this one matter of fastidiousness. And do so in spite of the fact that in conversation the teeth are the one most noticeable thing about you. Pcorle instinctively watch your lips—and naturally, your teeth—when you are speaking. If teeth are dull, stained or unkempt locking, they immediately mark you as a careless, ill- groomed person. Your stock goes down., So properly cleaned teeth are y more than a matter of good taste. Only the right dentifrice—consistently used —will protect you against such criticism. Lis- terine Tooth Paste cleans teeth a new way. The first tube you buy (25 cents) or the free sample (see coupon) will prove this to you. You will notice the improvement even in the first few days.
