The membership campaign is showing re- sults and the organization now has a roll to be proud of. Field Plans The American Legion field day is occupying the attention of the post at the present and considerable time was taken in discussing the event at last night's meeting. It was decided to hold the affair in the afternoon of August 23 at the Kensington baseball field. The afternoon's good time will be- gin at about 1:30 o'clock when a pa- rade will be held. Decorated auto- mobiles will be in line and prizes will be awarded to the most attractive. Several of the prizes have already been donated by Kensington business men, About two hours will be given over to athletic events, the list of which will be announced in the near future. At 4 o'clock a baseball game between the All Kensingtons and the East Ber- lin team will be held. It is expected that a conference between Manager Buckley of the Kensington team and Manager Harold Clark of the Kast Berlin team will be held soon, so that details of the game may be arranged. Order Official Caps. An order for the oclclal Legion camps was made up at the meeting last night and * it is hoped that they will reach Kensington In time for the field day. These caps are in the form 6f overseas hats and are blue in col- or with a gold trimming. The Legion emblem is stamped on them, togeth- er with the name of the post, its number and the state. They are to be worn at Legion affairs and are con- sidered extremely attractive. May Have Jitney Line.

Berlin farmers are bewailing th lack of rain‘and the consequent dam- age to their crops as a result of the continued dry spell which has lasted with few interruptions for several weeks, Samuel Hart, one of Berlin's oldest residents and best known agricultur- ists, said today that the crops are all drying up. “There's been some rain, but not enough of it,” he sald today. “We've had just enough to make us want more.” The storm of yesterday, which did 50 much damage in other parts of the state, all but skipped over Berlin, the town getting some rain, only a shower, however, which did not last very long.

During the (hum}erstorm yesterday afternoon between 3:30 and 4 o'clock the home of Charles A, Bunnell on Hamlin street was struck by a bolt of JII;:h!ninp:. and the side of the house caught fire. An alarm was rung in [and Plainville Hose Co. No. 1, re- sponded. Little damage was done to | the dwelling. It was found necessary | to pull off several of the clap-boards | and extinguish the blaze, Apparently the holt struck the telephone wires and travelled to the house thereby causing the fire. This was the only damage caused by lightning in town. The rain which fell during the af- ternoon and in the evening was of little help to the farmers whose crops promise to be a total failure. The | deluge ofthe afternoon was too severe and the wind was too high to allow | the water to soak into the ground and several of the farmers found that the | ew inches under the surface was not | even dampened, Recovering From Operation.
