Berlin News HIT WITH IRON BAR, FIGHTS TWO THUGS Waterbury Man Attacked But Drives O Assailants ASSAULTED ON TURNPIKE School Board Appoints New Teach- er—Women Voters To Meet To- morrow Evening — Local Purchases Milk Company. As he was climbing into his truck in Berlin near the Silver Lake Inn, Albert Johnson of 642 Main street, Waterbury, was attacked by two © young men early Saturday morning. One of his assailants struck him on the head with a heavy iron bar but Johnson was able to fight off his at- tackers before suffering further bod- ily harm. A heavy fur collar which the Waterburyman was wearing close about his head broke the force of the blow but not enough to pre- vent a large lump from rising o his head. In his report to the local police, Johnson said that he had stopped to investigate his rear light which had been causing ‘him trouble. He was accosted by the two men who asked him for a _match. After fur- nishing them with a match he start- cd to board the truck again when the two men attacked him. Johnson was able to grab the fron bar from his assailant after a fight but was too weak to pursue the men, who ran away after he gained pos- cession of the bar.

START GRAGS FIRE Two Departments Called to Quell | Blazo—Health Officer Urges Vac- cination—Dog Ordinance Violators Arvested—Legion Mceting. The annual report which Rev. John E. Fay made at the masses vesterday was the best in the his- tory of his parish, the Church of Our Lady of Mercy. Not only was the memberskip increased by almost 100 persons during the year 1927, but the twelve month was a most successful one financlally in that the receipts exceeded the expenses by an amount just short of $3,000. The church membership is now approximately 900, Father Fay's re- port showed, whereas it was about 800 a year ago. There is a larger attendance at the masses, he stated and the Sunday school has grown proportionately with the church. During the year 12 marriages were performed, 41 persons were baptized and there were 13 deaths in the parish, The ordinary revenue for the year was $3,811.47 and the extraordi- nary $9,102.62, making the total | church receipts $12.914.05. The | year's expenses were $10,000.00, " leaving a balance of $2,914. This financlal showing is much better than that of past years. The pastor thanked the members of the congregation for their loyal support and cooperation in parish | work during 1927 and urged a con- | tinuation of church work for the! coming year for their spiritual and temporal welfare. The relatiods be- tween the priests and their congr gation and between the members of the church themselves have never | been more harmonious than at pres- ent and the church has now the brightest outlook which it has ever enjoved. o Roys Start Brush Fire A camp fire started by two hoys spread heyond their control on Red- stone hill faturday afternoon and | was extinguished only after two fire | companies had been called to the scene According to the story of two Boy Scouts who were hiking in the nearby woods at the time, they heard the pair of careless fire- bullders shout for help and ran to the fire. The original youngsters i took up their heels and left the scouts to fight the flames, but the fire was bevond their control and, after one of them had sacrificed a coat In beating the bla they ha encd away and called the Welch fire company of Forestville, The Plain- ville department was also summoned and Fire Warden Trving Gridley joined the fight with a force of 14 helpers. The firemen managed to keep the flames away from several nearby tuildings and extinguish them before | | they reached the high woods. The' identity of the two boys who caused sc much trouble is not known. The rains of yesterday and today practically put an end to the gras fire danger which has been caused by the opcn winter and the resulting | dry grass. i Urges Vaccination. ! Health Officar Dr. George F. Cook | today urged the vaccination of all | local residents, particularly school children, as 1 safeguard against smallpox, an outhreak of which has occurred in the region surrounding Middletown. Numerous Plainville people have visited there during the holidays, Dr. Cook says, and all pos- sible precautions to prevent the disease from spreading to this town «hould be taken. The health officers of the state are unaninous in urging vaccination 1o check the outbreak. Inaculation of ‘school children s required by state law, but this measure has never been enforced by the local health and school authori- ties.
