A truck driven by Schubel and owned by the Bridgeport Motor UNHEARD OF PRICE! UL Transportaticn company and said to have been 6,000 pounds overweight with & load of iron and steel pro- ducts, collided with a truck carrying more than 200 cases of shoes. Pig iron, light sockets and shoes were scattered on both sides of the road for a long distance. Both trucks were badly damaged but neither driver was hurt, The second truck was operated by J. E. Foley and is owned by the A. Towle company of Boston. Re-clected Secretary Mrs. Henrietta L. Pinches of Ber- lin was re-clected corresponding sec- retary of the Sunshine society at the iSth anmnual convention of the or- ganization held in Hartford yester- day., Mrs. Pinches read her report at the meeting and also made a re- port of the Sunshine home. Mrs. Pinches is one of the most active. workers in the Sunshine so- ciety and her choice for mecretary was a popular one. The convention was largely attended. sign Installed IYirsc Selectman George B. Carter installed a sign in front of the Ken- | sington posi office on Main strect this morning which prohibits the parking of automobiles within a dis- tance of about 20 feet from the cor- ner. This is the first time that a parking law was put 1n force in Ken- I sington. Mr. Carter is also installing a number of signs about town noti- {ying motorists of the schools that are in the district, | Mr. Carter's action followed sug- gestions made by Judge George G. Griswold and Prosecutor Charles K. Lewis at a session of the Berlin town court held a few months ago. Numerous accidents have occured at the corner In late years and many drivers complained that their view was blocked by the cars parked in front of the post office. At the court session a Meriden man was strong in his criticism of the condition exist - ing at the corner. He claimed that he was familiar with Main strect but a parked car in front of the post office blocked his view and he was unable to see a car coming out of the road by the side of the post office The result was that a bad collision followed. ¥ Although the Merden man was found guiity of reckicss driving the court officials denounced the habit of motorists parking at the corner and ordered the constabies to keep the corner clcar. This did not work out very good because motorists pointed ito the fact that there was no sign prohibiting parking. The new park- ing law is expected to improve the dangerous conditions at the ‘corner to a great extent. The sign's painted in yellow with black letters. Certificate Of Scutlenvent A certificate of settlement of the estate of George H. 8age. wo died on June 30, 1925, has been filed in the office of the town clerk. Henry E.

When Mr. Silvernail returned home from work last night he found that two rooms had been gone through and & number of valuable articles stolen. Among them were a diamond ring valued at $185, a wed- ding ring. and ‘a ladies’ white gold vernail. About $14 in cash was alsé taken, including some $8 in amall change whith was contained in a “barrel bank." ' The intruder left untouched a valuable heavy gold bracelet which was in the same box with the other articles, so it is be- lieved he was frightened and de- parted hurriedly. A passerby reported to the au- thorities that he had seen a young man leaving the Silvernail home during the afternoon. As he did not know who lived there, however, he thought nothing of it at the time. He wan able to give the police a £00d description of the fellow. One cuspect was questioned last night but released. The police of New BRritain and Bristol were notified. In New Brit- ain the authorities said that a youth answering to the same description had made a number of similar breaks there during the course of the day. and it is thought that the same person made them and the one |here. In each case the burglar used a key to let himself in through the back door. ' Kchool Cafeteria a Sucvess The cafeteria which was started at [the high sthool with the beginning of the one-session plan this fall has proved itself a successful exporiment, the acheol department believes, Mrs. Viola Petera of Park street has been secured as cook and is giving great satisfaction. A number of stu- dents are earning their own meals by acting as counter attendants dur- |ing the noon hour, and the cafe- teria has a student cashier. The rush of all the senior and Jjunior high school pupils for lunch- con at the same time overtaxed the tacilities of the cafeteria, and a new plan has been devised. The pupiis now eat in two shifts. One group observes the regular schedule, fin- ishing the fourth period at .12 o'clock and having its luncheon re- cess from then until 12:30 o'clock. The other section is released from classes at the end of the third period at 11:30 o'clock and eats from then until noon.' Tt then has a helated fourth period, at the end of which both groups start off together again |on the fifth period. This division has been successful, and the cafeteria can now accommodate the full en- rollment. During the present week the |#enior class is selling sandwiches to aid in filling its class treasury, Voters May Learn How ‘Tomortow will be the last day for niew voters to be shown the manner used in Monday's election are op- ————— e Mrs. James Cofr, Mrs. J.

One tipped over the ash cans and sifters in front of the Plainville Engineering & Supply Co. on Whiting street and sent the cans rolling out through automobile traf- fic on the highway.

It is the 1 that the girls knowing that many of their acquaintances had come to Bristol and secured employment in the local factories, decided that they also would spend the winter in this city. They failed to consider the fact however, that their parents would worry about them to the extent that they would seek police assistance in ascertaining their whereabouts.
