Berlin News NORTHRUP FAMILY - T0 HOLD REUNION Aftair Will Take Place at Com- ,munity House Tomorrow FORTY MENBERS EXPECTED Make Repairs on~ Foresters' Hall— Many Entries Reccived for Tennis Tournament—Paper Goods Outing —Other Items of Interest. The annual reunion of the North- rup family of®the northern part of Perlin will be held tomorrow after- noon at 2 o'clock at the Community House. These reunions are being held each year at various places in the state. The founders of the family were Allen and Martha Northrup, who were married in the town of Orange, in 1828. The couple had eleven chil- dren, the average of each at the time of death being 70 years. Allen Northrup came to this country from England when still a young man. It is expected that members of the family will be present from all parts of this state and from Massachusetts, gome of the members coming from Boston. An association has been formed during the past few years, all those in the Northrup family being mem- bers. The president of this family assoclation is Mrs. Lillian A, Wil- liams of West Haven and the secre- tary and treasurer is W. G. Gibney of this place. Mr. Gibney stated this morning that about 40 people are ex- pected. A dinner will hbe served shortly after 2 o'clock, following which there will be a business meeting of the as- sociation. Mr. Gibney said that the association is now working on the history of the family from its earliest days. [Each year a discussion is held and members of the family hav- ing any new details regarding the his- tory present them at the meeting. ‘This idea will be carried out until a complete story is secured and then| it will be probably written up and AN OLD RECIPE T0 DARKEN HAIR sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray, ¥aded Hair Dark and Glossy. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com- pounded, brings back tHe natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ‘ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy | and troublesome. | Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.” You will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, ‘at very little cost. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it 8o naturally and evenly. You damp- en a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn- ing the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, copies presented to each member. The oldest living member of the family is Newell Northrup of South Lyme, who is 80 years of age. The Northrups are well known in Berlin, members of the family having lived here for many years. Mr. Gibney became a member by mar- riage. To Go on Outing The plant of the American Paper Goods company-of Kensington will be shut down all day tomorrow when the annual outing of the employes will be held at Savin Rock . It is expected that 250 employes will attend the affair, the trip being made by auto- mobile. 'The entire day will be spent at the shore and the party will re- turn early in the evening. Many Entries Received. Many entries have been réceived for the tennis tournament scheduled by the Worthington Community Center association for the early part of next month, The event will probably be held the first week of August and it is expected that there will be much interest taken in the affair, The winner of the tournament will be the champion of the Worthington dis- trict and not the champion of Berlin, as East Berlin friends have taken the tournament to mean. However, it is thought that the winner or winners will gladly meet the HEast Berlin stars of -the court if they so desire. The members of the committee in charge of the tournament are James 8. Thompson, Franklin Boardman and George Pickett, Jr. ‘Will Make Repairs Extensive repairs to the amount of $1,000 or more will be made on Foresters’ hall in Kensington, it was said by Charles Wright, secretary of the lodge, this morning. The roof is now being shingled. The interior will be renovated, so that when dances or soclal functions are held there next winter the hall will be in A-1 shape. It is expected that the remainder of the summer will be consumed in mak- ing the changes. Walls will be done over and woodwork varnished, The floor will also be made better for dancing. Family to Retum. Mr. and Mrs. Dezzani, Kensington people, who moved to Oakland, Cali- fornia, about six months ago, will re- turn to Kensington in the near future, it was reported today. The couple will probably arrive in town about the last of August. Mrs. Dezzanl was formerly Miss Rose Pentor, sister of Mrs. Frank Fogliati. Friends are planning to give them a reception when ther return. To Remodel Building Thomas Barratiero, proprietor the Berlin grocery, stated this morn- ing that he will have the building in which the store is remodelled, work to be started immediately. A con- tractor was looking the place over this morning and tentative plans have been drawn up for the work. « One more story will be added to the building, the second floor to be faced with shingles. An apartment will be constructed. Party Is Held A party was held in the community house last evening, several young wemen of Berlin inviting several of the young men of the town.

COMMUNICATED A “Come-back” to Teacher. May I use enough space in your paper to reply to the communication in last night's Herald signed “A For- mer School Teacher.” As a taxpayer in the town it gave me a great deal of satisfaction to know that it was a former school teacher. Certainly Berlin is to be congratulated on its loss (?) and heartfelt sympathy extended to the town that s at present employing this teacher. I would hate to think that our Berlin children were receiving in- structlons from a person who uses the language employed in the communi- cation. And the recklessness of the bet is appalling! My advice would be— hang on to your hat—you'll need it. Having to know a candidate for a public office personally is a new one. Up to this time knowing a candidate by repute has always been deemed sufficient. What an awful time this teacher must have had casting a vote for the President of the United States. “It is to laugh”—when I read that it was like reviewing a book on an- cient history. The last time I heard that slang expression was when Louis Mann used it in a play he gave at the Lyceum theater about 26 years ago. To parody an old song—Mary has a little goat—and it belongs to a former Berlin school teacher. Signed, AN UNSOLICITED SIGNER OF THE PETITION. SPECIAL Community Theater Friday at 8 P.

Plainville News SNAKE BITES BOY AT PLAY NEAR HOME Gilbert Sessions of Russell Block Suifers Deep Wound in Leg CRULLER TRUCK SMASHED Takes Photograph of Railroad Cross- ing—Plainville to Play ‘Willimantic He:re Sunday—No Services at Bap- tist Church—Plainville Briefs. Gilbert Sessions, 14 year old son of Mr, and Mrs, George Sessions of Rus- sell's block, recelved a deep cut in his leg yesterday afternoon while at play near a large incinerator in the rear of his home, and when taken to Dr. J. N. Bull's office for treatment, the doc- tor stated that it had the appearance of a snake bite. The bite, if such it was, was about four inches below the knee on the shin bone, and imme- diately after the lad received it, the limb began to swell. The doctor cau- terized it, and the boy is able to be about today. The yard in which the boy was playing is direotly in the rear of his home and of the Economy Grocery store. It has just been reconstructed for the new building on the corner and is where the old canal used to run. The boy stated today that he was standing near the incinerator when he suddenly felt a sting in his leg. He dldn’t see anything at the time, and did not know what struck him. Truck is Smashed A Dodge delivery truck owned by the Doolittle Cruller and Doughnut Co., of Torrington, became disabled this morning about 9 o'clock on East Main street when it was struck by a 600 pound gravel roller which was being towed by an automoblle driven by Fred Callen of the Cooke garage. The roller broke away from the chains which held it onto the duto- mobile and crashed into the truck, smashing the front of the car and breaking the front springs. The driv- er of the truck stated this morning that his car was parked at the side of the road, when he saw the auto- mobile with the roller hitched be- hind, coming up the’ street. When opposite him, the roller broke away and continuing on its way, hit the truck a smashing blow. Photographs Crossing Engineer Ruud of the public utili- ties commission conferred with mem- bers of the town plan commission and officlals of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad yesterday regard- ing the West Main street railroad crossihg. A photographer was pres- ent and he took pictures of the place from every angle, both while traffic ‘was passing and when there was none there. The engineer made measure- ments of the roadbed across the street and found that it measured exactly 30 feet. The road itself on either side, measures 49 feet. Mr. Ruud made no statement to those present, but stated that he would report to the state body in Hartford. The railroad officlals stated yesterday that they had no ob- jections to widening the crossing it the town would pay for the work. The town officlals, however, think that their request is very strange. If the members of the public utilities commission can come to no amicable settlement with the officials of the road, a petition will be taken up to the state body and a hearing will probably be held on the matter in a short time. Plainville vs. Willimantio Manager Roy French of the Plain- ville town team stated this morning that he has secured the Willimantic town team for the attraction at Rock- well's ficld on Sunday afternoon. This is the first attempt of the local team to play a home game at the local field in several weeks and the management is hoping that the fans will turn out and support the team. The Williman- tic team is one of the strongest in the state today and have defeated some of the fastest nines.which are organized today. The game promises to be the best attraction offered at the local fleld this year and the followers of the local tea mare predicting a win for the locals. o No Baptist Services ere will be no service Baptist church for the n:xtalth::v Sundays, it was announced this morn- ing.

It is expected that the school board will have an announcement to make in the near future. Plainville Briefs.
