The league will include four or five local aggrega- tions. The winning team will repre- sent the local post in the inter-post league held throughout the district, champions of the separate districts meeting in an elimination series lat- erin the season. Th Legion league will include the XKensington Boys ¢lub, the Berlin Boys team, the Kast Berlin Boys club and any others that might quality for admission. It is thought that the Boy Scouts of Troop 68, now the process of formation, will have a team in the fleld by the time the league opcns. The baseball league {s one of the firat steps in the proposed program of the Legion post. in its campalgn for serving the youth of the com- munity. Recently & committes ap- , pointed by the post took steps to- wards the forming of & Boy Scout troop, giving the newly formed or- ganization the Bolton-Kasica post numerals, 68. Members of the Le- glan were dispatched to the Scout- master’s school in New Britain in order that the officials of the new troop would be competent. Leglon authorities, with eother prominent members of the com- munity, state that Berlin’s younger element has too long been ignored. The Kensington Boys club, formed recently under the indirect influence of the local post, was practically the | first step taken to give Berlin boys a local organization for recreation and the latest deveropments point towards an enlagement of the boys work program of the Jegion. While the Legion has been fore- most in its activities along boys work lines, the other organizations of the town have pledged their sup- port to the veterans’ association, cooperating with the local post in a manner which Leglonnaires have found encouraging. Town Flooded Today/s heavy rains submerged this town under several inches of water especially noticeable in tfe Treasure Fields and East Berlin pvenue districts. The Mattabesett ‘did not tarry long in surging over its banks after the streams which feed the ordinarily peaceful river enlarged it to over capacity size. Surrounding fields were inundated as were the Treasure Fields mea- dows which rested under from two to six inches of water. Roads in the Kensington district were barely dis- tinguishable from the brooks of that ation underpass, living up to its reputation, commenced the season’s trouble by flooding shortly before noon after the brook into which the drain pipe leads, rose to a sufficient height to force back the waste water onto the highway.

Withdraw Claim The Kensington Congregational church indoor baseball team has withdrawn its claim for a forfeited game against the team representing Everyman'’s Bible class of New Brit- ain in order that the gama may be played at some future date.

When endorsed by the selectmen, it will be submitted to the public health council, and, if ratified, will become law. It is plan- ned to have it become effective on July 1. Dealers are asked to make their applications for licenses as | soon after the adoption of the ordi- | nance as is possible.
