Berlin was flayed by one of the worst storms in a decade yesterday afternoon when a sudden change of weather brought a brilllant electri- cal display combined with wind and rain amounting almost to a cloud- burst. Springing up out of the w about noon, the clouds formed hu riedly, giving local residents little time to prepare for the deluge which followed. Coming at noon hour, it caught hundreds of working people on their way home to lunch and forced them to seck shelter in private residences. Automobiles were forced to stop as the blinding! torrent made motoring hazardous. Several large trees were struck by lightning the Merwin Brick Co. was slightly damaged when one of the Dolts struck a chimney demoi shing the brick structure and tearin, a small hole in the roof. Limbs W. e dis- lodged by the high wind and across the highway until removed by motorists. The station underpass, as pected, filled rapidly after the f few minutes of rain. Rising to a new high water mark, the tunnel presented a swimming hole to Ken- sington youngsters who were not fin- icky about the color of water and donned bathing suits in which they frolicked and swam until the tide subsided. Five machines became stuck under the bridge and were towed out by fellow motorists. One Connecticut Co., bus, after waiting a considerable length of time, de- cided to make a try at passing through the pond and stalled ex- actly in the center, necessitating a tow from a passing truck. The construction excavations on the new highway suffered greatly from the flood, loose gravel and newly laid filler being washed away from its position. The back roads of the town were today described ag being in bad condition and the shoulders of all dirt roads dissolved under the rush of water. Brick yard pits filled quickly and operations at the local plants were discontinued until the pumps had drained the yards. Standing corn, wheat and other grain was flattened and it is thought that the damage caused by the storm will be placed at a high figure. To Attend Camp The regular mid-week service of the Kensington Methodist church will be #nitted this week. Members of the-congregation will visit the Plainville camp ground services, leaving the church and making the trip by automobile. 1t is thought that a large dele- gation from the local church will make the trip, headed by Rev. May B. Lord, pastor. 3 Francis E. Brennan Funeral The funeral of Francis E. Bren- nan of New Rochelle, of N. Y, brother of Rev. John C.

Brick Industry Slow Reports from brick concerns state that the present month has been one of the slowest in the history of the compani Most of the local yards are running on part time. An over supply of brick and a lack of build- ing activities is the cause of the deflation. Better conditions are look- ed forward to with the arrival of fall building.

T.ocal baseball fans @ reported as being disgusted with the progress of amateur ball in this town.

Hold-up on East Street The story of a hold-up which oc- curred on East street last Saturday night has leaked out after being kept secret in an attempt to save embarrassment to two girls who returning with the two girls from a dance and parked their car on East street. They w three men coming along the road with a flashlight as though they were looking for a lost article, but when the trio reached the car they ordered the occupants 10 “put "em up.” They did not molest the girls, but they took what money the men had and then made off In a coupe. This is thought to be the same trio which has figured in similar hold- ups near Lake Compounce during the past week.

It has not yet used a third of its life, and unless some- thing develops in load tests of the next few days, it will stay in the plane."” The Columbia’s new ausiliary gasoline tank, which will bring its tlight radius up to the neighborhood of 5,000 miles, is heing installed, and the aviators believe they can start final load tests carly next week. There will be two of these tests, Jarisi explained, to make sure of a safe getaway with the additional load of gasoline when the big flight starts, "W compasses will also be in- | stalled next week to replace those which failed shortly after the start the Chamberlin-Levine flight from New York to Germany.
