Berlin News BIRTHDAY OFR.F.D, " INLOGAL SERVICE Rural Mail Delivery Inaugurated 25 Years Ago Today “DOBBIN” MOTIVE POWER ‘Boys’ Club Downs Church Team In . Fast Opener—School Committee to | Mect Tonight—Benefit Whist Party ! Proves Successful—Items. ‘Twenty-five vears ago this morn- ing, Julius B. Woodruff, uncle of the present town clerk, hitched up his buggy and started as carrier of the first rural free delivery collection this town had. Today marks the silver anniversary of the R. F. D. service, somewhat advanced in these days from the service in 1902, Since that date the post office service has made considerable head- way in Kensington, although Berlin center, where the service was born, has not made any tremendous strides towards advancement, residents point out. Today's rural free de- livery for the section originally cov- ered by Carrier Woodruff on that memorable June morning will be taken care of by Hiram Hulbert, Kensington rural carrier, who makes deliveries and collections in the afternoon after Kensington and Blue Hil'; has received its mail Carrier Woodruft's route included Beckley, which is covered now by Lewis A. Griffith of Kensington in the morning. Central headquarters for mail service in the town has hed from Worthington Ridge, where the first rural delivery was started, to the present modorn office in Kensington. Much can happen in 25 ‘The old post office before which Carrier Woodruft flourished his whip in 1902 burned recently and the ‘Worthington office is at present sharing space with town officials at the town hall. Kensington has erccted a large, miodern building which includes the post office for that district as well as the head- quarter for rural delivery in the township. An auto truck takes the place of “Dobbin” except in the spring when a horse traverses the muddy roads which would baffle even the sturdy post office truck. Postmasters have come and gone. Charles Williams, the veteran carrier of Kensington who recently resign- ed, has gained national recognition from the headquarters of the post office service at Washington. Today the Kensington office has as its per- sonel, Sidney M. Cowles, postmaster; Miss Margaret Flynn, assistant post- master; Hiram Hulbert, rural car- rier and Frank Giana, town carrler. Worthington Ridge has Ambrose Barrett as postmaster and Mrs. Ban- croft as assistant. East Berlin has Mrs. L. M. Root as postmistress, Today's objectives in the Worth- ington district are similar to what they were 25 years ago, namely a new post oftice. Residents claim that the center of the town has not advanced in proportion to the years in regards to mail service. Rumors of a new post office building have been numerbus and indefinite. The 25th anniversary finds Worthington Ridge in much the same predica- ment as it was in 1902 as the office enters its second quarter century of rural delivery. School Board Meeting The regular monthly meeting of the school board will take place this evening at 8 o'clock at the Kensing- ton Grammar school under the di- rection of 8. Chase Coale, chalrman & the board, years. | Hosiery—Street Floor Tmportant business will have a' place on tonight's program, includ- ing the probable report of the teach- | ers' committee in regards to resig- nations and applications.

Gold, president of the Worthington Community Center as- soclation, has stated that the annual membership drive for the organiza- tlon will be started early next week. It will be the aim of the organiza- tion to obtain a full enrollment of residents. The annual meeting of the Community club will be held in June. Concert Tonight Everymagus Bible class orchestra of New Britain will give a concert this evening at 8 o'clock at thej Kensington Methodist church. This orchestra has gained considerable prominence in musical circles and in broadcasting. Between selections Miss Effie Carlson of Kensington will give several readings. The pub. lic is invited to attend. Exhibition Successful o The annual handwork exhibition of the local schools, which was held last evening at the XKensington Grammar school, was well attended. about 150 parents and friends of the pupils visiting the exhibits. The ' event included displays of drawings, compositions and business course examples. The‘'Junior High schog} Glee club gave several selections under the direction of Mra. Helen Upson. The youngsters gained much applause for their finished work in their se- lections. Boys’ Club Wins | The Kensington Boys' club base- ball team, opening its session against its neighbors, the Kensington Con- gregational church team which also was breaking the ice for the year, defeated the churchmen 5 to 2 in a game played at Benedict-Phillips recreation field yesterday afternoon. Clarence Carlson, pitching for the Congregational team, battled it out| with Julius Meyers, who was on the mound for the Boys' club for seven innings, neither side scoring until the last two innings when the Boys' club finished strong. Both teams played excellent ball and coaches of the aggregations are encouraged by their early season showing. The hitting of both teams was a little weak but it is thought that practice will make stick wielders out of the Kensingtonians. Flood Whist Successfal About 60 local residents gathered last evening at the home of Mrs. Charles Grimshaw of Kensington to attend the whist and bridge party which was sponsored by the Ladles’ Auxiliary Unit of the Bolton-Kasica post, American Legion, for the bene- fit of the Mississippl flood sufferers.

Businessmen Win w Pet.

The winners proved su- perior in every department and got off to an early lead. Duadac pitched well for the losers, but his mates made ten errors behind him and al- lowed the Businessmen to run wild. Cunningham held the Peck Spring team to three hits and shut it out until the last frame, when an error let it a run. Foran's three-bagger was the heaviest blow of the game, but he was put out trying to stretch the hit. Thrall made the best fielding play, leaping into the air over second to stab a hot liner with one hand. Ma- gary and Crampton hit hard. The Businessmen's infield had been shift- ed, and it showed much {improve- ment, playing errorless ball. Mea- gary, the losers’ catcher, split a finger in the sixth and had to retire, being replaced by Spencer, The score: Businessmen. ab. r. h. W. Downham, c...4 Thrall, ss Crampton, .

At- torney Philo Calhoun of the law firm of Marsh, Stoddard and Day, counsel for the Duke, has declared that an answer to the allegations in the divorce complaint will be filed | today. The answer, it is declared, will consist of a general denial of a charge of infidelity lodged against the duke and a reiteration of the duke’s claim that the courts of Con- necticut cannot accept jurisdiction |in the case as he claims the duchess is a resident of the Kingdom of Ttaly. Two weeks ago today Judge John Richards Booth ordered that an an- swer be filed within two weeks or the case would be placed upon the uncontested list. When the action was originally filed the duke, | through counsel entered a plea in { abatement wupon the claim of no ! jurisdiction. This was later over- ruled by Judge Edwin C.

De Laca, in testimony oftered at the ®ial sev- cral days ago, declared that the cause of the girl's death was gen- eral peritonitis, caused by an infect- ed abrasion in one of her vital or- gans. Given the medical history of the case and a synopsis of the girl's con- dition, Dr. Godfrey declared that he | did not belleve that such an abra- sfon as described by Dr. De Luca | could have set up general peritonitis. (Appeals of 12 Eclectics Transferred From Court Bridgeport, Conn., June 3 — Twelve appeals of eclectic physicians in the county now pending in the courts have been transferred to the New Haven county courts through a decision returned today by Judge | John Richards Booth. The motion to transfer the cases and join them with those from other counties in ithe state was heard two weeks ago by Judge Booth. At that time coun- sel for the eclectics protested, claiming that the transfer would | cause unwarranted loss of time and I expense. The motion to transfer was made by the office of the state's attorney general acting upon a legislative amendment passed in the recent session of the assembly. New Haven county was picked as a logi- cal site due to its accessibility and central location.

A busy session of the city council is predicted for next Tuesday eve- | I ning, numerous matters being sched- | uled for dlscussion. i Of chief interest to taxpayers in the Forestville section will be the' recommendationg to be submitted b Corporation Counsel William N. De- Rosier in connection with the pro- posed Korestville sewer. The appli- cation for the issuance of bonds to the extent of $200,000 for this im- provement was formally approved by the state legislature, but Jater it} |was found that that body, instead ! of passing a revised bill calling for the establishment of a second tax- ing district which would permit ad- ditional improvements such as side- walks and curb: had passed a dummy or tentative bill covering the establishment of the Forestville sewer district. The tentative bill, which was presented before the time limit for the presentation of new bills had expired, did not meet with the approval of experts on bond issues and for that reason the re- vised bill had been passed and the mistake was not discovered until the corporation counsel procured a cop: of the bill. It is the belief of mar that Mr. DeRosier will recommend to the council that the sewer pro- ject be deferred for another two years, Bids will be opened for the con- struction of a sewer on East Road and for curbs and sidewalks on Muzzy street, which leads to Muzzy field and Rockwell park.
