Berlin News ACCIDENT MARS £ BERLIN PICNIC Boy Badly Cut When Father's Kuto Runs Into Tree STORM MTRES MOTORISTS Local Couple Married in Colchester —New Shop for Worthington R.Mn Planned—Pol Parrot Slides for Home in Shower. The annual East Berlin Com- munity club outing, like the Fourth of July, had its fore and aftermath of casualties last Saturday when about 250 East Berlinites motored to Hotchkiss Grove, Branford, where they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. O. Clark at their cottage. The start was made from Commun- ity hall at 9:30 o'clock and the pro- cession of 25 cars and three trucks got under way without accident. A step was made in Durham when two cars had blow outs, and the brake lining on the heavy truck caught fire. This was soon extinguished. The real serious accident of the day occurred this side of Gullford when a sedan driven by Eltjo Ensing crashed into a tree. The machine was filled with women and children. The young son of Mr. Ensing was seriously hurt recelving a cut over the bridge of his nose and a cut entirely across the right eyelid sev- ering the muscle of the lid and in addition a laceration of the scalp. The . boy was catapulted into the windshield, his -head crashing | through up to his shoulders. He | managed to extricate himselt and | tell out through the fore door. No | one else in the car was injured. Young Ensing was taken to Guilford by Fred Kahms and the father. There being no physiclans available the boy was taken to the Guilford sanitarium where first aid was ad- ministered. He was later removed o the Middlebex hospital where it ‘was first reported that ‘uustunad a rfactured skull. It was nnounced at the hospital today that the X-ray did not reveal a fracture. The car was badly wrecked, the radiator, fenders and three wheels being damaged beyond repair. That the machine did not turn turtle after the crash was considered miraculous as it was tilted on the bank. The car was towed to a garage in Guil- ford for repairs. Mr. Ensing and the car ahead apparently turned out at about the same time to pass the cars ahead of them. This did not leave sufficient room for Mr. Ensing and rather than hit the car ahead he swung to the left, colliding ‘with the tree. The outing itself was one of the best ever held by the club, sports, boat rides, bathing and luncheon being on the program. In the after- noon the running and swimming events were held. The fat women's race could not be held as there has been a considerable reduction of avoirdupols since last year. Leland Rich won ,the men’s 60 vard dash although Gerald Footit came near sliding across the line ahead of him. ‘As it was, Gerald left part of his trousers on the cinder track and Rich took the prize. In the young men’s events, D. Ramy ivon the swimming and dash events. TLouis Cote coming in second in the dash. “Kenny” Ward captured the swim- ming and running events in the boys' program, Charles Pratt.com- ing in second in the swimming event.

The fat men’'s race could not be run off as no ong would claim the distinction of being in that class. Late in the afternoon a storm broke and all of the picnickers went into the cottage. The fife and drum corps entertained with several num- bers during the downpour. The start from the beach was made by the majority of cars at 7 o'clock in a driving downpour. The roads along the shore became rivers of water and in one place a culvet held up some of the machines. Seven autos were disabled as the result of the water getting into the distributors or magnetoes. Some of the garage men refused to come out into the storm to render aid and the motor- ists had to do the best they could under the circumstances. Phil Dut- ton had the misfortune to get off the dirt shoulders where he was stuck until Leo Dal- bey came along and pulled him out. Miss Gertrude Bunce had to wade into a foot of water in the down- pour to tinker with the motor of her machine and had to drive home without lights with the help of the| machine in front. Selectmen’s Meeting The weekly meeting of the board of selectmen will be held this eve- ning at 8 o'clock at the office of the town clerk. A slight amount of regular routine summer business will be transacted agcording to First Selectman George B. Carter. Playful Parrot Elopes Polly, a large and intelligent par- rot owned by Miss Mary E. Gris- wold, superintendent of schools, de- cided Saturday that life in a cage was not an ideal summer recreation. Watching its chance, the bird sought freedom through an open window and gave its owner several anxious moments as it flew to the top of a tree and started a conversation with the other birds. Boys summoned to capture the parrot, climbed the tree only to have Polly fly to another nearby maple. The game of tag kept up until Polly was out of sight and the boys were out of breath. A thunder shower proved Polly's Nemesis, scaring the brilllantly plumed bird to shelter post haste. The parrot has since shown no inclination to enjoy an- other vacation, contenting itself with chatting loudly about its brief taste of freedom last Saturday. Jones—Chamberlain * Mrs. Alfred Chamberlain of Ken- sington and Willlam T. Jones of Berlin were married on July 14, in Colchester, the former home of the bride.

Interest in Bids Consliderable interest is surround- ing the sealed bids for the purchase of the old Hannon garage located on the state property formerly owned by Arthur L. Woodruff which ad- Jjoined the old post office. Rumors concerning the propable purchasers of the property are abroad, one well founded report stating that a branch of a well known national grocery store concern is seeking location in this district.

Hope for her recovery is still being held by physi- clans but she is reported as consid- erably weaker. Silent on Roads First Selectman George B.

Dr. Cook Suggests Spraying By Air- plane—All-Plainvilles Win Fast Ball Game—Mrs. Seelye Dies in Litchfield—Legion Meeting. William T. Stellmacher, a driver 'for the Plainville Lumber & Coal Co., was injured slightly when an automobile driven by L. W. Snell of Ayer, Mass,, ran into his team on East Main street about 10:15 o'clock this morning. Stellmacher, driving west, was proceeding slowly and was in front of the Colonial Inn when the auto crashed into the rear of his wagon. The front of the auto lifted the wagon and pushed in under it throwing Stellmacher from his seat and painfully injuring his left hand. The wagon settled on the hood of the car, smashing the radiator, headlights, bumper, hood and fan. The force of the impact shattered the glass in the windshield, but Mr. | Snell and his daughter, who was with him, were not cut by the frag- ments. The wagon was less damaged than hurt. The car was unable to pro- ceed and was towed to the Usher- Willlams garage. Dr. George F. Cook, who was passing at the time, dressed Stellmacher's hand and treated Mr. Snell and his daughter for shock. It is not known exactly how the accident occurred, but it is said that Mr. Snell, unfamiliar with the roads in this section, was consuting a guide book at the time in an at- tempt to find out which turn he should take at the center.

Cook, local health officer, as a pos- sible means of ridding the commun- ity of its hordes of mosquitoes. The town is surrounded by low marshes which act as breeding places for these insects which, besides being nuisances, are disease carriers, Near- ly every remedy so far tried has proved ineffectual, and the spraving of orchards from airplanes has sug- gested to Dr. Cook that the case of the swamps is analogous. All-Plainvilles win The All-Plainvilles won one of the best baseball games ever played here when they defeated the St. Margaret's nine of Waterbury by 3-1 at the high school fleld yester- day afternoon. Despite the &oggY condition” of the field both teams played fast baseball, and Louis Da- toll engaged in a beautiful hurling duel with Broderick. Datoli pitched what the fans considered the best game of his career, allowing three hits and one run and striking out 11 batters. He had the edge on Broderick, although the visiting hurler also allowed but three safe | blows and whiffed seven. Plainville made its three hits count and took advantage of errors to score in the fourth, fifth and sev- enth innings. Matteo's triple and | Goeb's two-bagger played 1vading parts in these rallies. Datoli was holding the St. Margarets helples all this time, a nice double play from Darrow to Sataline helping him, and it was not until the eighth that the Waterbury team was able to score a run with pinch hitte; The box score: Pick Up—ALL PLAINVILLES Mrs. Seelye Dies Mrs. Marcella W.
