Berlin News BERLIN VETERANS "IN BOYS' WORK Plans for Organizing Scout Troops Being Made WORK ON UNDERPASS — Mprs. Griffith to Entertain Newing- ton Garden Olub—Daughter Born to Local Oouple—All-Kensington to Play Taftville Saturday—Items of Interest. Boyp' work activities in this town are quist preparatory to a program which will be put into effect this fall which is planned to surpass past sctivities in these circles. First among the many plans which are Peing formed in the interests of boys' work, is the formation and supervision of Boy Scout troops to serve the youths of the town which wik be promoted by Bolton-Kasica Pcst 68, American Legion. During tre spring of this year several mem- bers of the post attended the Scout- yasters’ school which was held in New Britain and obtained authority to take the office of scoutmaster to 1ead local troops. One troop num- ber was granted before the activi- ties in scouting circles ceased for the summer, that of Troop 68, which will represent the Legion post. Other troops will be founded among the boys in the outlying sections of the town. Commander Harold D. Ventres, today stated that an ex- tencive program of boys’ work will be planned and executed with the opening of the fall activities with Troop 68 under the probable lead- ership of Adolph W. Bchultz. The Kensington Boys' club which has for the past few years ably given the boys of that section an op- portunity to develop athletic tenden- cies, will launch a new drive with the coming of fall. Its baseball ac- tivities in the current season have Pbrought the limelight to this organ- fzation since the beginning of the season and it.is thought that the club’s membership will be swelled considerably with the mew year's program of athletic activities. Bas- ketball during the winter and a pos- aibla football team during the foot- ball season are planned by the spon- sirs of the Boys' club. The Farmers' club, which is at present inactive, will resume opera- tions early in September and will in- clude in its yearly program a boys' work program which will sponsor the 4-H club which had its begin- ning in local circles last spring. In- terest in the young farmers' organ- zation developed rapidly and it is believed that this year will see a big increase in membership in the club /hich is directed by the State Farm reau. An enviable list of achieve- ments for the young organization Jast year will doubtlessly be dupli- cated during the coming winter sea- lth present baseball activities alone comprise the boys’ work program which is being observed in this town aside from attendance of local —— Notice is hereby given that the registrars of the Town of Berlin will be in session at the Town Hall on Friday, August 5th and again on Friday, August 12th, from twelve to nine o'clock p. m. for the sole pur- pose of revising the caucus list of sald - town. . ROYAL H. MORSE JOHN HOLIGAN Registrars. youths at the Boy Scout camp at Job's Pond, Portland.' The Legion League includes the foremost boys' team of the town and promises to revive with the attention which it has recently brought upon fitself. In connection with the baseball league, Commander Ventres today expressed the wish that officlals of the Berlin Juniors team notify him as to whether or not the baseball squad would resume operations in the Legion league. He stated that several different sources had given him varied reports of the attitude of the team and -he was anxious to get an official report on the plans of the aggregation. He expressed the wish that the team stay in the league un- til the close of the sason. Court Continued All cases scheduled to appear be- fore the regular Tuesday evening session of the Berlin town court were continued for one week last evening. No session of court was held at the town hall. All-Kensington To Visit The All-Kensington baseball team will journey to Taftville Saturday afternoon where they will meet the same team that they whipped last Saturday at the score of 8 to 3. So impressed was Dan Malarney with the fine playing of the upstate ag- gregation that he booked them for a return engagement on the grounds last week. It is probable that the locals will use Kania on the mound, the local youngster holding the Taft- ville squad to eight hits, well scat- tered, in last week’s game, Underpass Plans Reports from a reliable source, as to the eventwal action which is to take place at the station underpass during the coming construction of the new highway, state that the road level and the track level of the pres- ent bridge will remain unchanged but that draining extensions to be sltuated above and below the under- pass would eliminate the sudden floods which have inundated the spot lately with the coming of the heavy rains. Present drains are inadequate to handle the flow of water which drops from Upson’s corners and on the other side from the slope which leads into the underpass. The duct which carries the waste water from under the bridge to the nearby brook Is easily choked with refuse and mud and needs constant super- vision to keep from backing water into the road. Also the tendency of the brook to rise above the level of the outlet and to throw water back through the drain pipe into the road has combined to present a puzzling situation to engineers in charge of the work. To heighten the level of the road would force the heighten- ing of the level of the tracks with an enormous expenditure accom- panying the move. The tracks would need a lift for approximately half a mile on either side of the bridge. Drains located on each side of the underpass are claimed to be the only solution to the problem. Pipes from these openings would be led to the brook at places below the/ point into which the present sewer opens, deflecting a rise of water into the road through the drain at t! point. Reconstruction work now taking place on the bridge has dispelled rumors to the effect that a new bridge was going to be raised at the spot. Not Recelved Yet Town Clerk Arthur T. Woodruff today stated that the quit claim deed recently submitted Jordon and Sel- lick of Bridgeport. owners of the Treasure TFields district property which will be accepted by the town, had not vet been received from that concern. The deed is expected to be returned within the next few days. To Entertain Club ‘Mrs .George Griffith of Peck street, Kensington, will entertain the Newington Garden club tomorrow afternoon at her home. Charles Diggle of Plainville, an authority on the raising and care of gladioll will be present and will deliver an in- formal address on table arrangament of flowers. Prizes will be awarded for the best arrangements of high and low table decorations, which will be exhibited by the visitors. Mrs. Griffith has long been one of the foremost members of the New- ington organization and has carried away many prizes at the yearly ex- hibition of the club. She reports that her gladioli, which have long been awarded as being among the most beautiful in this section of the state, are pot as brilliant as in past years and that insects are more in- jurious this year than ever before. ‘What They're Doing Postmaster and Mrs. Sidney M.

In the second half the Standard Steel scored two when George Cun- ningham, after fanning two men, walked a couple and a passed ball scored Gorman, but George tighten- ed up and fanned the last batter. Neither team counted in the second. With one down in the third Down. ham drew a pass and moved along on LaBonne's single. Minella singled to score Downham, but LaBonne was caught at third by Elliott's throw. Hits by Coveleski, . Gorman sand Hayes sent the Bearing Makers to the front in their turn at bat, 3-2, Bill Cunningham hit to Joyce at the start of the fourth and was safe on that fielder's fumble. Crampton lined out a hit. Cunningham died at the plate on Tolll’s flelder's choice, but Leyine scored Crampton with a safe blow. Stanley Smith fanned. Then Downham walloped a two bag- ger to center and the Business Men had their winning margin. The Bearing Makers made a big threat when they came in but only realized one run. Tolll missed Elliott's grounder, Joyce singled, and Minel- la dropped Yacobellis' fly, but Bill Cunningham fanned Day and Covel- eskie and Tolll threw out Dulac. Four hits gave as many unnecessary runs to the winners in the fifth. The game was marred by the sew- er pipe trench behind the catcher, copfining the backstops to a small amount of territory, but this gave the kids plenty of fun.

Bankruptcy looms for Prior's store, one of the landmarks of Plainville for the past 40 years, the establishment having been closed, as told in yesterday's Herald, for alleg- ed non-payment of rent. Stanley Smith, agent for the Neri Bros., who own the N#ri block, has sued for $300 damages. Judge B. F. Gaffney of New Britain issued the writ, which is returnable in the court of common pleas the first Tuesday of September, ‘The store vias started in 1886 by James E. Prior, now a Boston doc: tor. It was lccated in the old Ald- rich block, which was burned in 1887. After being in the Whiting block for a few months it was re- established in its former location, P. J. Prior, a brcther of the founder taking full charge in 1889. The es- tablishment moved again in 1895, into the Russell block, then was shifted to the Sequassen block, and finally, about five years ago, was finally located in the Neri block. P .J. Prior, the proprietor for the past 38 years, was at one time the leader of the democratic party in Platnville and for a number of years was first selectman and postmaster. In his store the men of the town gathered and talked over the yoli- tics of the day, and there was little going on in Plainville which was not influenced by the discussions there. Trade has declined during the last few years in the face of modern competition. Mr. Prior has not stated any definite plans, but it is believed he will go into bankrutpcy. Married in Southington. Joseph Carlo of Plainville and Miss Mary Fiondella, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Fiondella of Southington, were married in the latter town Monday at St. Thomas’ church. Miss Margaret D’Angelo was maid of honor and the best man was Carl Vernon. After a re- ception at the home of the bride's parents, the couple left on an ex- | tended wedding trip. Grange Meeting.

Furrey met with considerable difficulty in at- taching a truck yesterday in the damage action by A. G. Mastrianni against Natalle Scolla. The truck was registered in the name of the de- fendant, but when Furrey tried to take the truck away where he found it he discovered that the owners of the property had purchased the veh- fcle from Scolla.

Donovan of Bristol, is re- turnable on August 15 before Justice William N. DeRosier.

Lanning, who had a most interesting but unsuccesstul night, went through the neighboring town at a speed said to be 50 miles an hour and was hailed by a con- stable. He refused to stop and Fur- \rey was notified by phone. The local constable stopped Lanning and turn- ed him over to the Southington au- thorities, who told him to be in court Thursday night for reckless driv- ing. Half an hour later the man re- iturned and claimed that one of the ofticers had stolen his flask. He ap- peared to have been drinking, and while under the influence of liquor.

The case against Pasquale No- | Forestviile barber, who was | arrested last Friday morning by Dod Warden Thomas L. Ryan for violation of the dog quarantine laws, was sensationally ended this | thorning when Prosecuting Attor- ; ney James T. Mather nolled the case without costs. The case had been before the city court on Sat- v morning and again on Mon- | v morning, when after hearing | the evidence offered, Judge Joseph M. Donovan ordered the case con- tinued again until this morning on account of the diverse stories told of the arrest by Nocera and Dog Warden Ryan, When additional witnesses were secured they sub- stantiated Nocera's story, with :e result that he was discharged with- out heing further brought to court. When the case was tried on Mon morning, Dog Warden Ryan stified that Nocera had forcihly | prevented him from taking a dog which had been runming loose in violation of quarantine regulations which are now in effect in this city. | He also testified that he grabbed | the dog away from him and pre- | vented him from getting it. Nocera testified that such was not , the case and that Ryan grabbed | Lim by the shoulder and pushed | him about the barber shop and | used improper language in arresting him. He also testified that the dog | had broken away from the place | where it had ben tied up and that | he immediately sent out his two | sons to recover it as soon as he had discovered the dog missing. Ryan at- tempted to take the dog after it had been recovered. When additional witnesses, who were in the barber shop at the time of the scuffle had been brought in, they corroborated Nocera's statements, Construction Contracts Awarded The contract for the construction of lengthy sewer main extensions on Lewis street, Concord street, Lexing- {ton street, Arlington street, Fairfield i street, Walnut road and across a pri- vate way to Burlington avenue was awarded to Joseph DePaolo of Wethersfield, the lowest bidder, by the city council at its regular month- 1y meeting held last evning . Other bids were submitted by Joseph Bat- laglia of New Britain, John E. Dris- coll of Torrington, Concetta Caciana of West Hartford, Bernandino and Manocchlo of Hartford, Dominick Palmisano of Bristol, and Zille and Angelone of Southington. Construction work will be started immediately and it is hoped to have it finished by fall. Tulip Strect Sidewalks Voted The contract for the construction of, curbs and sidewalks and the grading of the street on Tulip street between Park and Divinity streets, was awarded by the city council last night to Cosmo Vacca of this city, the lowest bidder. The opening of the bids and the awarding of the contract followed a formal hearing at which the interested property owners had been notified to appear o show cause why such curbs and sidewalks should not be constructed. As was anticipated, all of the pro- perty owners favored the work. Curbs and sidewalks have long been needed on this section of Tulip street as it is largely used by pe- destrlans from the Riley tract. To Hold Makcup Examinations Principal Henry E. Cottle of the Bristol high school has announced |that the make-up examiantions will be held in the high school building at 8:20 a. m., daylight saving time, Friday, August 12th.

Kid Kaplan of Meriden will officiate as referee. In addition to the bouts a concert starting at 7:30, will be provided by the New Depart- . ure band. Coal Contract Held Up Due to confusion caused when one dealer submitted bids for the city's coal supply for different grades than those requested, the awarding of the contract for the supplying of the city of 800 tons of bituminous eoal and 350 tons of anthracite coal was held up until next Monday night when a special meeting of the city counciu will be held. The various coal dealers will be notifled to appear at that meeting to explain the bids which they submitted. On the grades of coal asked for in the requesting for bids, the bid of W. H. Rowe for the anthracite coal was the lowest while the Quinion Coal and Trucking Co. was lower | than the rest on the bituminous coal. This year is the first time that scaled bids have been called for on the contracts to be opened at a meeting of the city council. Hereto fore the purchases have been mad: by the city purchasing agent who secured the bids. Criticlsm of past methods in awarding the contract led to the adoption of the new method. Last year the Quinion Coal and | Trucking company was the only bid der on the city's coal supply when the other dealers of the city refused |10 enter bids.

An- other obstacles to successful opera- tion of passenger service in the air was sald to be the comparatively limited accommodations for passen- gers in available planes. To fly from New York to Boston in the service announced discontin- ued yesterday by the Colonial com- pany, & passenger had to be ready to take the air at Teterboro, Hasbrouck Heights, N. J., at 6:20 a. m. Has- brouck Heights is a ride of one hour from New York and allowing an- other hour for the preliminary ef- fort necessary to get up, dress and > breakfast, the prospective pas- sengers had to be up and doing be- fore many people go to hed. Company officials pointed out also that early efforts at carrying pas- sengers by bus were not successful with the small busses, reaching a paying basis only when larger equip- ment was installed. It was suggest- ed that airplanes carrying 30 or more passengers will solve the lack of business prompting the abandon- ment of the New York-Boston ex- periment after two months. The service, the first regular passenger schedule effort, was started May 22 BOY'S HEAD CRUSHED ‘Worcester, Mass., Aug. 3 (UP)— Stealing a ride on a motor truck cost four-vear-old Artantz Cadoze his life.
