Such action by the New Britain body, if realized, would bar local students from al- tending the Hardware City school and would present a weighty prob- lem to local school authorities. While it is understood that the action of the New Britain board member is merely a preliminary step, and that a vote of that body might veto the proposed action be- jore it has time to become serious, the problem will still arise at some future date, Berlinites claim, and it is time that this town began mak- ing provision for the possible furth- crance of its educational interests with steps towards the establish- auent of a local High school. New Britain’s High heen reported crowded and the dis- cussion of the school board mem- ber of that city brings to the fore the view of the board towards the prevention of over-congestion in the schools. l.ocal people state that the board's discussion forewarns this town of the necessity of making first steps towards the meeting of the problent which, will doubtlessly arise in the gear future. 1t has been mentioned that in case ©of such action by the New Britain school board, locul High school stu- dents would be trausferred to either Middletown, Meriden or Hartford schools, At present a few Berlinites are attending high school in both Meriden and Middletown but it is not known just how much of an absorb- tion of students from t er of the nearby high schools could stand as both are reported facing the same conditions contronting the | New| Britain schools. Reception to Leader About 40 residents of this town, representing the three districts of Berlin, were present at the recep- tion tendered Mrs. Joseph W. Alsop, president of the Women's Republi- can club of the Kifth district at the home of Mrs. Hen Kensington v Mrs. Alsop spoke on the Co of the United States, the political situation and vital issues which would doubtlessly arise in the near future, She upheld her reputation as a rapid forcetul speaker.
