Edwin Benson of East Berlin nar- rowly escaped being bitten by a large rattlesnake yesterday as he was walk- ing through the woods on Mount Lamentation. Mr. Benson started out for a hike through the woods with his dog. He was in hopes ' of finding some foxes in order to know how many there would be during the hunt- ing season. The dog ran out of sight in a clump of bushes and Mr. Benson called him. For some reason he turned around and saw a rattlesnake in the air springing at him, he says. Fortunately the man had a heavy stick with him and he struck the snake in midair, knocking it ‘to the ground, where it was killed. Upon ex- amining it Mr. Benson found that it had 15 rattles. The snake had given its warning, apparently while Mr. Benson was calling to his dog. The snake was carried home and was exhibited to friends during the remainder of the day. Mr. Benson will preserve the skin, tanning it and mounting it. Mr. Benson i{s a son of Mr. and Mrs. Sven Benson and a brother of Arthur Benson, Berlin rep- resentative to the late legislature. Berlin hikers haev reported that thére is an exceptionally large num- ber of rattlesnakes to be encountered in this vicinity especially on Lamenta- tion and .all tramping in the woods should carry heavy sticks. Traffic Is Heavy In spite of the weather, traffic con- ditions on the turnpike yesterday were heavy. Three policemen were on the job directing the many cars | traveling in both directions. No ser-| fous accidents were reported ~by theL police officials this morning, although several minor accidents occurred. Sev- eral cars came along the 'pike with | PAIN GONE!

School Board Meeting The interest of all Berlin will be centered on the meeting of the school board this evening, when it convenes to choose a successor to B. R. Show- alter, gsuperintendent of schools until a few weeks ago. The greater share of the people in the town are in favor of Miss Mary Griswold of Worthing- ton Ridge for the position and it 1s expected by many that she will be elected. Her wide experience in school affairs and her knowledge of conditions in Berlin were the reasons given by those who favor her.
