POOR PA BY CLAUDE CALLAN “Julia’s taken her first husband’s name again as a sort of compliment to him for leavin’ her the most life insurance.” (Copyright, 1928, Publishers Syndicate) . BERLIN NEWS (Continued from Page Nine) successful presentation of twc one- act plays at the Berlin town hall last evening under the auspices of the Ladies’ Ald society of the Berlin Congregational church. Everyone in the cast of both plays took their parts very well and met with hearty approval by the audience. The acts were carried out amoothly, showing the result of careful coaching and practicing. The play entitled, “The Soup and the S8avoury” humorously recalled phases of rural English life which might have taken place in the time of Shakespeare. The acene moved about the preparation of the chief mal of the day and put to use idioms of that time which were con- trasted by the audience with modern manners. The other play called “Neighbors,” was also well received. The plot of the atory dwelt around Mrs. Els- worth (Mrs. Arthur Woodruff). A sister of Mrs. Ellsworth dies and leaves & small child. Mrs. Ellsworth has never had the experience of 1| cooking meals for a small child or taking care of one. While she is at the depoti waiting for the child, her neighbors gather at the house and prepare a shower for Mrs. Ellaworth. It develops that another member of the family has decided to take care of the child and when Mrs, Ells- worth returns home, she finds out what loyal neighbors she has and expresses her appreclation. Those who took part in the plays were Mrs. Annie Molumphy, Miss Edith Prentice, Mrs. 8. Chase Coale, Mrs. R. H. Gold, Charles Pratt, Mrs. Robert Deming, Robert Silsby, Mrs. Robert Silsby, Mrs. Elmer 8tearns, Mrs. Charles Pratt and Mrs. Arthur Woodruft. Most of the credit for the success- ful showing of the plays must be given to Miss Helen 1. Rohm who spent much time and effort in coach- ing the cast.

BUILDING BOARD T0 PAY FOR ITS OWN BADGES Finance Committee Approves Only of Insignia Purchased By Electrical Inspector Virtual assurance that members of the building commission will be required to pay for badges of ot- fice which they purchased and for which they billed the city, is given in the report of the finince com- mittee approving payment for 4 shield worn by Electrical Inspector C. J. Curtin, but making no recom- mendation in the matter of badges for fire commissioners, The badges cost $5.16 apiece and are similar to those which have been furnished fire and police com- missioners at the city's expense for many years, Alderman J. Gustave Johnson is the principal objector to the badge idea although he does approve of furnishing the fire and police board members with emblems of office. To have other commissioners badged will eventually lead to difficulty and interference with the policemen and the firemen in doing their work, the alderman fears.
