Berlin News BEGHLEY CEMETERY CALLED A DISGRACE Burden of Its Care Put on School Children , WARRIOR DEAD HONORED Kensington Residents Ask That Fence Around Railroad Pond Be Repaired—Legion Auxiliary Re- ceives More Popples—Bricfs. The Memorial Day exercises being Mrld this afternoon in the old Beck- ley cemetery by pupiis of the Shel- n school have brought to the at- fention of residents the immédiate need of some official activities in regards to caring for the cemetery which is reported to be the oldest and the worst kept burying ground in the township. Today's excrcises by the schook children are not the only indications of the Shelden school's interest in the old plot. Prior to the services at the old cemetery this afternoon. it was necessary fo pupils of the school to clear the land during their spare time in order that the graves which are to be decorated might be : | scen through the tangle of tall grass and brush which Qverruns the place. The condition of meglect into which the cemetery has fallen has called for considerable comment from Berlinites, especiall ancestors buried in the place. Until recently, Memorial Day ex- ercises were held in the old ceme- tery, as it was thought that no more appropriate place could be found for the decoration of the graves than in a cemetery which contains the re- mains of soldiers of the Revolution- ary War, the War of 1812, the Tn- dian Wars, the Mexican War, Civil War and the Spanish. ‘War. Lately, howev: shifting of public activities towurds the Worthington ridge district, the L cemetery ble conditign, the entire car: place beinf left by town offic the pupils of the Shelden schdol. While these children deserve much eredit in their annual olearing of the Jand, they are naturally unqualified to give the graveyard the attention it deserves throughout the Consequently, during summer and autumn, the cemetery presents an appearance little short of disgrace- ful, residents state In commenting on the need for of- ficial action, Miss Mary E. Griswold, superintendent of schools, who, ar- ranged the exercises this afternoon sald that the cemetery was in dire need of public interest and that it seemed a shame that Berlin should mo neglect one of its most historical ing ground » children of the school,” Miss Griswold stated, “are worthy of all the praise which might be given them in connection wit their clearing the land for the ex ciscs. However, they can only par Iy accomplish the work which stem to have been shifted on their shoulders by the town and they are not capable of keeping the plot in the condition which it certainly de- sorves. “It is my belief that there is a statute on 1he books which 1s for the expenditure of $100 a year on the Beckley cemetery by the town. If this appropsigtion has been car- ried out within the past few ygars, the cemetery does not show it to any great extent. “It is a problem to me, how Ber- linites whose ancestors are burled 48 the cemetery can bear to see the " those who have | vear. | Shelden | ’ NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 27,1927 %27 (STORE CLOSED ALL DAY MONDAY, MEMORIAL DAY) YOULL WANT TO DRESS UP IN QUICK SELECTION.

The body of water, | which is the property of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road, presents a menace to automo- bile traftic unless it is securely fenced and lately the barrier be- tween the road and the lake has fallen to the ground leaving the driver unacquainted with the road in danger of running into the lake. The need of the fence was dem- onstrated several weeks ago when an automobilist sent his car through a section of the fence, the palings being the only obstacle which pre- vented a dive into the water. Sev- {eral hundred feet of fencing are now lying prone on the ground and Ken- singtonfans who use the road are asking railroad authorities that they repair the railing before an accident +sends some automobilist into an im- | promptu bath.
