Griswold tonight. The local force, including Con- stables Frank Brown, John P. Lewis, George Kanupka and Willam J. Ritchle, was or* in full strength, reg- ulating motor traffic on the turn- pitke at the Farmington avenue in- tegsectiorr and the East Berlin ave- nue corner. They were aided by state officers who patrolled the high- way, making this town headquarters for their operations. The traffic which rolled over Berlin highways yesterday and Sunday was termed greater than ever before in the his- tory of the town, according to ob- servations of the local police who had their hands full keeping the never. ending strecam of cars in or- der. One serlous crash was reported two miles north of Worthington'| ridge in the Webster's Hill district. Michael Semaran and his son, Alec, both of Newington, were taken to Hartford hospital by passing motor- ists when a car driven by Paul Snell of 30 Fairview street, Stafford Springs, collided with the Semaran machine, Both cars weres badly damaged the Newington car turning over in the ditch after the crash.

The parade, headed by Marshal Arthur Benson, included school | children, Bolton-Kasica post 68, American Legion, and practically all the foremost organizations of the| town. Two of three Civil War vet- crans living in the town, Comrades Colby and Bauer, were n the pa- rade. The address, given by Attorney John C. Blackwell of Hartford, was one of the most forceful and im- pressive tributes ever given in this town. Following the address, the two veterans were given lunch in the ' ‘Gommunity club hall, High points of the day included the Community drum corps, which, in its first appearance, earned much |applause, the impressive eight gun salute to those who had passed on and the addresses by the pastors of the town.

Kalish pitched a great game for Plainville, allowing only two hits in the first 12 innings. The locals outplayed their opponents but threw away sev- eral opportunities to score, losing thelr most promising chance when Derazio tripled to start the 12 but ‘was left on base. With two gone in the 13th, Mat- teo misjudged Hayden's hit and it went for a triple. Six more hits fol- lowed and the visitors had a big lead. Plainville came back with two but {could not offset the Senators’ big rally. Batting honors went to Goeb | and Matteo, who collected three hits aplece, while fine fielding was shown by Billy Tollf and the new third baseman, BIill Darrow.
