The state farm bureau has an- nounced that, through its 4-H club activities, members of the local 4-H would be taken on a field dairy in- spection trip on Saturday, August 20. The trip will be part of the ed- ucational program of the state de- partment for the young farmers of this locality . The coming field trip will be the first to take place in this sommunity although surrounding towns have all held their field trips and they have been found to be instructive to all who accompanied the state au- thorities on the inspections. The 4-H club department of the farm bureau has been holding these trips for the past year and announced in the spring that the local delegation would be treated to one of the in- spection tours during the year. The boys will be taken by automo- bile to visit two of the better man- aged and largest dairy farms in the state, acompanied by a state dairy specialist who will point out the de- sirable and undesirable features of cows located on these farms and will give the group an idea of the meth- ods of management which have made these two places lead the oth- ers of the state. Herd management and the breeding of different varle- tles of stock will also be explained | to the boys. The trip will be direct result of arrangements sponsored by the Ber- lin Farmers' club last year. This organization, realizing the necessity of training local boys in the different branches of farming, has ac- complished much in the education of young boys in modern farming methods. to older men who are interested in dairy subjects as well as members of the 4-H club. Those wishing to make the trip are asked to get in touch with ecither Carl Lund or Lloyd Carter, both of- ficlals of the Farmers’ club. Trans- portation wil be arranged for those wishing to‘make the trip. Tangle Straightened At a meeting of the Berlin Juniors baseball team which was held last evening at the Worthington Com- munity house with Commander Har- old D. Ventres, president of the Le- glon baseball league, presiding, it was voted by the members of the team to continue play for the re- mainder of the season. As the Worthington Ridge squad reported that it was at present with- out the services of a coach, Com- mander Ventres offered the services of Adolph W. Schultz, local prom- inent Legionaire and a man who has been active in all sports for the past | fow vears. It is hoped that the in- jection of some new coaching, to- gether with the fresh start made by the team last evening, will terminate in the Berlin squad finishing the season with a good supply of wins to Its credit.® At the present time the Berlin aggregation has tasted de- feat many times but has yet to cut the ple of sweet victory.

Griswold, superin- tendent of schools, submitted her fourth annual report last evening at the regular August session of the school board. The report came as a surprise to the members of the board, no announcement of its be- ing read preceding the reading of the review of the year's work. Miss Griswold’s report was as fol- lows: To the Members of the Town School Committee: 1 have the honor of presenting m§ fourth annual report. The school year opened Septamber eighth with an enrollment of 1065 pupils under the direction of thirty- one regular and two special teachers. Of these instructors, only three were teaching for the first time in any system. Four young ladies, with several years of experience, came as strangers to our town. Twenty mem- bers of the teaching force were graduates of normal schools, five ‘were college graduates and one was a product of both normal school and college. With but one exception, the teachers had state certificates as proof of the requisite amount of professional training. In February, the Worthington dls- trict suffered a great loss in the death of Mrs. Edith Deming Hewett, For four and a half years, she had taught with exceptional success. Her gracious presence In the school- room and her motherly sweetness of manner in the handling of children will never be forgotten by her pu- pils and her associates. It is with great regret that T re- port the resignation of ten teachers at the close of the spring term. Nine of these resigned to accept better paying positions elsewhere. While Berlin ranks as one of the highest paying small towns of the state, it does not compete with the surround- ing cities which have attractive sal- ary schedules with regular and gen- erous increases. It still seems wise to continue the past policy of small general increases with larger amounts for those whose services it would be difficult to replace and for those who carry especially full pro- grams of responsibility. A fine attitude toward their work has been shown throughout the year by the teaching force. Again the state course of study was placed successfully in all elementary grades with the ®se of excellent text-hooks most of which have been purchased during the past six vears.

Plans are rapidly being completed for the monster sportsmen's outing to be held at Lake Compounce on RSaturday, September 3rd, under the auspices of the fish and game com- mission of the state of Connecticut. Attorney Joseph P. O'Connell of this city, who is general chairman again this year, expects appraximately 5,- 400 lovers of sport will be present from the various states. Over 3,000 attended the first outing held last vear. The general committee, which consists of a delegate from each sporting club in the state, has had several meetings already and a large number of events have been listed for the day. This year the field trials will be divided into two parts in order to accommodate the large number of dogs already entered. Last year so many late entries were made that it was impossible to per- mit all to compete. A new event this year will be a coon dog trial and an effort is being made to pro- vide a bench show for hunting dogs. It has also been found necessary to double up the fiy and bait cast- ing events and the same applies to the trap shooting range. The en- tries last year were so numecrous! that nearly the entire day was con-| sumed by the trapshooter: i One of the biggest surprises of last year's outing was the archery contest. Whereas the committee an- ticipated few if any entries, a large number were received and the event proved to be one of the most inter- esting. This year a large number of entries have already been re- ceived. A horse shoe pitching contest is also scheduled for this year. Purchases Simsbury Inn A deal was closed yesterday in the office of Attorney James T. Mather, whereby Henry edman of this city acquired the King Philip Inn in Simsbury.

Their two last ap- pearances were on Summer street and In front of the residence of Superintendent of Public Works Os- car Anderson on Church avenue, Forestville. In the first location they were routed by the fire department, which poured streams of water into the trees and caused them to depart in unseemly haste. Mr. Anderson utilized a novel idea by rigging a bell high in the tree, which was mis-— taken for the curfew by the chil- dren but not so by the birds. They immediately started to wing their aay to neighboring trees. Last night the birds found a new roosting place on West street and there they caused such a disturbance that Chief John H. Hayes of the fire department was called upon for as- sistance. Insicad of decreasing the city's water supply by using @ |pumper to dispel the birds, the larg: flashlight on the new Maxim squad car was used.

Model Home Attracts Crowds. The model home recently com- pleted on tha Maplewood tract by Donovan and Phelan is attracting large crowds. The interior of the hiome provides many new novelties and facilities particularly in the lighting arrangements. Each closet is provided with lights which auto- matically light when the door i< cpened and are extinguished by the closing of the door. In the basement a lightin gsystem has been arrang- cd so that a person forgetting to turn off the light upon leaving, he is notified of his oversight upon closing the basement doot. A desire to use the same shovel led to an argument yesterday after- noon between Louis Helming and John Jacob, laborers employed by a. local contractor. Helniing managed to retain his grasp on the tool and he brought it down with consider- able force on Jacob’ shoulders. Jacob was attended by Dr. A. H. Richardson and his fellow cmployee was placed under arrest charged with assault. When brought before Judge Joseph M. Donovan in city court this morning the case was continued until August 15. Helming was released under bonds of $200 for his appearance on that date.

As still as a country church yard, with its deserted homes, closed stores and silent mills, Manchaug is living in memory.
