Mr. Austin, who 1s a son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer E. Austin of Hudson street, first became associated with the Cutawuy Harrow Co. eight years 2go as a salesman, later being ap- pointed sales and advertising man- ager. After returning from war serv- ice in the navy he made a six months’ businoss tour of the United States. Mr. Austin now resldes in Meriden, having recently moved there from Grenloch, N. J,, where he held the position of assistant sales manager of Bateman & Companies, Inc. For two and one-half years after graduating from New Britain High school he was employed in the office of the Btanley Works. Blue Hills School Dispute At a meeting of the rapresentas tives of the Berlin school committee and the residents of the Blue Hills section last night for the purpose of airing the school troubles in that sec- tion a lively discussion took place. The representatives of the school committee were Pardon C. Rickey who was chairman of the meeting, Robert McKeon and Robert Graham who gave their opinions as to the best manner of properly satisfying the needs of the school children of the Blue Hill district. Mr. Rickey believed that an addi- tion to the bullding costing about $10,000 or $12,000 would suffice. The people of the district seemed to be satisfied with a one room addition so leng as it would take care of the needs of the children. Many were decidedly opposed to the plan of building a large addition which had at one time been proposed. The residents asked that the swamp be filled in and also were in favor of having a well dug to afford pure drinking water for the children. They also wanted two teachers of wide ex- perience hired. The opinion was expressed that the people of the district did not intend to have their children transferred out of the district to a more central point. They are in favor of having their school so improved that such a plan will not be necessary. At the meeting the plan nf build- ing a new school was proposed. Mr. Rickey said that the town could be bonded for a sum of $150,000 and that the new school house would probably cost in the neighborhood of $100,000. At this point, Jason Taylor, who it is understood is a representa- tive of the people of the Blue Hills section, jumped to his feet and ex- pressed his opinion that the town was already bonded very nearly to its limit and that he thought that the idea was not very sound, to bond a town for $150,000 when it is already carrying as large a burden as most of the peo- ple feel it can carry. Mr. Fonda also spoke and his thoughts seemed to run in a similar vein to Mr. Taylor's. At the close of the meeting they ex- pressed themselves as unanimously opposed to the expenditure of any money for the construction of a new school house. Many of the old and experienced school force resigned during the past year and it is a serious problem to muster a practically new teaching force and to have that force run in smooth co-operation. The school appropriation has jumped from approximately $23,000 in 18156 and 1916 to approximately $73,- 000 in 1922-23, Ambulance Loses By a Nose A stork will beat an auto every time, to take the word of the am- bulance driver who endeavored to beat the stork to Springfield, Mass., but as the horseman would say, lost by a nose. Dr. M. H. Griswold was called to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Pen- chelli at Christian Lane this morn- the that it be a Springfield Dr. Griswold ordered an ambulance from Charles J. Dillon of Hartford and the race was on. ll-nghrrm-n in Newtown, Sunday, FRENCH SIZES | v | l | i o i ——————— It seemed for a time that the am- bulance would beat the stork to the line but at Longmeadow, Mass, a suburb of Springfield, Dr. Griswold ordered the driver to stop at a qulet place along the road and pressed a policeman into service to keep the curious back. The hospital trip was cancelled and mother and child were brought back to Kensington where it is reported that both are doing well. Health Good The state health report shows that the health in the town of Berlin is excellent. There is one case of in- fantile paralysis in the southern sec- tion of the town but it is not feared that there will be any serfous trouble encountered with it.

Baker Resigns From Post Office—Start to Lay Sidewalk Today—Arrested in Orange—Briefs Complaints from women and espe- clally young girls regarding the an- noyance they have been subjected to for the past month by flirting autoists, | have become so numerous of late that | the authorities have decided to de- | clare war on all drivers who, 'seem- | ingly playing the part of gay Lothar- los behind the wheels, have been pes- tering the women folk of Plainville with Invitations to take a ride. ‘The first complaints of this or(lor’ came to the ears of the police fifl\eral\ weeks ago, but lately hardly a day | passes that women do not report in- stances of being asked to jump in for a “little ride.” The practice has become so annoy- | ing that the officials are planning a campaign to arrest all those guilty of the offense and prosecute them. It has been reported that a party of men whose names are known have been active in this practice and when 2helr‘ invitations have been refused, lhey\ have been especially vicious in their | language to the women. One young‘ girl stated this morning that for the past five nights without exception, s)\e1 and some of her friends have been the | target for this party and she has been | afraid to walk down the main streets in the early evening. Instructions | will be given the police officers to ar- rest all drivers who commit this of- fense. New Station Agent W. H. Gillls of New Haven was ap- vointed station agent for Plainville | yesterday by the officials of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rall- road Co., to succeed William Foren, who has been promoted to be general freight agent at the main offices in New Haven.

He lives | in New Haven, but plans to move his family to Plainville soon. Resigns From Post Office William V. Baker, for the past six months acting substitute carrier and substitute clerk at the Plainville post office, yesterday tendered his resigna- | tlon to Postmaster James E. Usher, He has been considered an efficient worker, but owing to the failure of the last congress to make sufficient | appropriations, he has had very little work in the post office. He stated this morning that he will probably re- turn to his home In Lynn, Mass. Start Laying Sidewalk Workmen started this morning to‘ lay the new sidewalk in front of the | Tracy block at the corner of West Main and Whiting streets. Lines were iaid out by Engineer Joseph N, Mc- Kernan and the foundation foi the concrete was started. When the work is completed, the town will start work ¢n cutting away the corner to do away with 14 feet of sidewalk which is there at present. The contract for this has not been let by the town, but it is expected that the work will be given out within a few days. The state highway department, according to Commissioner John MacDonald, will lay the new road at the corner and this will be a great help to the town financlally because it will do away with the extra expense which would bave to be incurred if the town undertook the work. Arrested in Orange Bernard Stanley of this town was arrested last evening in Orange, ror‘ fallure to have a lighted tafl light on his automobile.
