Truck Smashes Pole A heavily loaded motor truck owned by the Byrolly Express Co., of Waterbury shattered a telephone pole and hit a large tree this morn- ing at about 9 o'clock after it had missed the turn from Worthington ridge into East Berlin avenue, dam- aging the truck considerably. According to witnesses, an auto- moblle was ascending the hill when the heavy vehicle swung into East Berlin avenue. Ditching the truck in order to escape hitting the other machine, the driver temporarily lost control and the truck sideswiped a telephone pole and then headed into a tree on the property of Mrs. Francis Ifonlnl. The right front fender and wheel of the truck suffered from the im- pact and the side of the truck was badly damaged from the crash. The telephone pole was neatly split in halt and the tree was damaged to the extent of a large section being gouged out of the trunk.

The resignation of Miss Clara L. Gallant as visiting nurse of the Plainvills Public Health Nursing as- sociation was not accepted yesterday afternoon when it came before the board, and she will be asked to re- consider her action. The members were unanimous in their opposition to her leaving, and it is hoped that she will withdraw her resignation and consent to remain in Plainville. A letter from First Selectman John J. Kimmel was read by the president, Mrs. Frank P. Usher, complaining that the milk used in the association’s milk distribution in the schools was purchased from out- | of-town dealers, Mrs. Usher met this criticism by saying that the state board of health had recommended the purchase of none but pasteuriz- ed milk for this purpose; no dealer in Plainville pasteurizes his milk, she said, and none would do so for the sake of sale to the association, and a New Britain dealer was given | the contract. If any local dairyman should pasteurize his product, she said, the assoclation would patronize him. L Mrs. Usher corrected the erroneous impression that the asso- clation js self-supporting. The fees from Miss Gallant's calls cover only a tiny fraction of the expenses, she sald. Last year the total dis- bursements were $3297, while only $794 was taken in {n fees and a further $462 from memberships. This year the expenses will be great- er, since rent in the new quarters will cost an extra $360 and Miss Gallant's salary is $300 more than ’lhit paid Miss Elizabeth Heineman. | For these reasons, she urged the co- operation of the townspeople in making the present membership drive a success. Membership may be had for $1 or any larger sum which the donor fecls he is able to give. The cause is a worthy one, and it is hoped Plainville will support it. Mrs. Berrian Librarian Mrs. Jennie Berrian has been ap- Jjointed librarian of the Plainville public library to succeed Miss | Frances Bunnell, according to an announcement made by H. A. Castle, chairman of the library committee. Mrs. Berrian has had considerable experience in this fleld, having been connected with the Boidgeport public library and with the high school library in that city. She assumed her new duties this afternoon. Businessmen Hold Second Place w. L. P.C. Trumbull Elec. 2 0 1.000 Businessmen .. 2 1 667 Standard Steel 1 2 .383 Peck 8. C.
