In Slight Accident While attempting to drive past a parked truck on Old Colony road, near Archers' corner in Meriden, a car driven by Anthony J. Uacas of West Haven collided with a car op- erated by Catherine M. Monohan of 224 Camp street, Meriden. The parked truck was in charge of Bar- ney Carson of Berlin, The accident joccurred about 9:30 o'clock last eve- | ning. To Continue Drive Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, chairman of the Red Cross in this district, an- nounced today that the 11th annual Red Cross roll call in Berlin will be continucd for an indefinite period. It was originally planned to bring the call to a close with the passing of Thanksgiving. It is the belief of the committees of the various dis- tricts of the town that only about half of those who plan to subscribe, have done so. The campaign opened several weeks ago with an enthusiastic re- sponse and it was thought that the work would be coiapleted earlier this year than in L scasons. Since then, fear has been expressed by th that the results of past years wiff not he cqualled. Social Hems Mrs. Pardon C.

Newspaper Suspends The suspension of publication of the Plainville “News” was announc- ed by Publisher George LeWitt ot New Britain last night coincident- ally with the non-appearance of the issue which would ordinarily have been placed on sale late yesterday. “Poor business” and lack of the time needed to properly direct the paper were given by Mr. LeWitt as the reasons for the action. The “News” was first issucd In the fall of 1927 but suspended pub- lication temporarily just about a year ago. It had previously been printed in New Britain, but a print- ing and publishing plant was set up in the former Community theater on Whiting strect and in the spring publication was resumed here.

MODERN LIVING 15 HARMING ESKIMOS They Find It Especially Trying P L. at Seward. Alaska, Dec. ilization has brought the Alaskan natives new comforts and advan- tages but it is ruining their teeth. This opinion was expressed here by Dr. Bart C. Larue after a summer spent on the Martha Angeline, medi- cal boat of the United States burean | of education. Dr. Larue treated 2.- {000 natives at the many points | where the ship stopped along the Yukon river. “Anmiong the old buvks and squaws little attention was required,” the dentist said. “They can gnaw jerked caribou and dried fish as vigorously cver until their teeth work down to healthy gums. The younger na- tives, quick to adopt ways and foods of the white man, took much atten- tion.” The Martha Angeline has faken medical attention to the Lskimos and Indians along the Yukon river for the last three summers. A den- tist was added to the staft for the first time this year. The advent of the boat great occasion along the river. news travelled by native graph” and Indians and Eskimos flocked to the river in large num- bers .For hundreds of miles along the tundra of the lower Yukon ln- dians camped all summer Wwaiting for the boats.

Bmlol News | FIRE DEPARTHENT PROMOTIONS DUE Appointment of Four fo Force Also fo Be Made EXTRA POLICE PROTECTION Forestille Residents Must Discon- tinue Dumping Refuse in Pequa- buck River—Mutual Relief Asso- | clation Funds to Be Distributed. With the finishing touches now being put to the firchouse at the corner of larmington avenue and Lewis street, the city council will be asked at its mecting next evening to approve the ap pointment of four new men and the promotion of two men ‘e the force. onc to the wank of captain and the other to the 1ank of lieutenant. Chief John H. Iayes and members of the board of fire com- missioners would not divuige the names of the men to be promoted. but it is believed that sentority will be taken into consideration. With the completion of the new firehouse, the force at Home Com- pany No. 1 on North Main atrect Will be reduced to four men, two to a shift. Two of the men now on duty at that house, one from each shift, will be transferred to the new house, which will provide a force of &ix men, three fo a shift. The reduction of the force at the North Main street house Mayor W. Raymond Crumb pointed out today would in no way handicap the ac- tivities of the department. In many cases, he explained, the squad car trom the central station. in re- sponding to calls in the northern section of the cily, often passed the North Main street house before that compeny had departed for the scene of the fire. As the squad car an- swers all calls in the first taxing dis- trict, a sufficient number of men would be available in the event it should be necessary to use the pumping apparatus attached to No. One's machine. Councilman Homer . Judd, who is also a member of the fire com- ission, expressed the opinion Kri- day that it would be advisable to move the apparatus and men from the North Main street house to the | central fire station on Meadow street. This was suggested about two years ago but property owners in the vi- cinity of the fire station objected so strenuously dropped. However, the building in which the apparatus and men are housed, new sold prior to that time. that they would be willing to take the price was within reason. Additional Police Protection ‘With the change of police beats effective today, additional protection will be furnished in the first taxing One additional man will be district. available for patrol duty by the dis- continuance of the traffic officer in the center of Forestville and his | transfer to night duty. Under the new arrangement Officer James Mc- Namee. who for the past several vears has directed traffic in that end bot, former night officer. will be as- ythe first taxing district. protection will also be available when Policeman James Burng is re- lieved from motorcycle duty. The discontinuance of the traffic officer in Forestville an electro-matic signal, which is op- erated by trips in the pavement. The system, according to Mayor Crumb and police commissioners, will probably be retained per- manently. On the other hand, a number of Forestville residents have cxpressed the opinion that there should be a day officer on duty and that a beat should be assigned him | where he would be available in case of emergency. The lincup, however, as proposed by Mayor Crumb, calls for meveral visits during the day by a member of the motorcycle squad and a portion of his salary will be assessed against the second taxing district, which comprises the cntire Forestville section. While many agree that the clectro- matic signal has worked out favor- ably, it is also felt that some pro- tection khould bhe afforded pedes- {trians while crossing the street. At present they are obliged to “take j their chances,” although it in under- Istood that the signal could be set so as to furnish such protection as ix needed. that the matter was is in such condition that it will probably be necessary to vacate it within another year unless it is A number of real estate men have announced | the property off the city’s hands if of the city, will patrol the night beat in Forestville and Officer Victor Cha- signed to a beat within the limits of Further center wag (made possible by the installation of has worked out very satisfactorily and it Must Keep River Clear Following a complaint may to yor Crumb, property owners along ll- ‘cqun\nu\k river in Forestville be instructed to discontinue the dumpin( of refuse into the river and along the river bed. The matfer is now in the hands of Dr. B. B. Rob- bins, city healthy officer, to whom it was referred by the mayor. Recently, particularly in the cen- ter, a large umount of refuse has been dumped into the river and be- cause of low water, has remained where it was thmown. The sight pre- sented was 80 obnoxious that Sta. ticn Agent William H. Plummer of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railrotd Co. called the cendition to the mayor's attention. The alleged insanitary condition of the Pequabuck river, which runs through the center of Forestville, has been a bone of contention for jthe past two years. Following an {investigation by Dr. Robbins, mem- bers of the state department of health and the state waterways com- mission, the city was urged to take |prompt action toward furnishing sewer facilities for the Forestville ‘sm( on. This resulted in an open dnv-rlmg being held fc- *he residents {of that part of the city a year ago !last summer, at which members of ithe state departinnts explained the necessity of providing such improve- ments to eliminate the possibility of dises T matter was then turne d over to Corporation Counsel Wil- m N. DeRosier to prepare a bill authorizing the establishing of a 81 cial sewer distriet, which might be bonded. This bill was prepared and given to Representatives Epa- phroditus Peck and Arthur 8. Barnes for presentation to the legise lature. Before presentation, an amended bill was substituted and this in turn was handed to the rep- resentatives. After the legislature had adjourned, it was found that the original bill had been passed in- stead of the amended one and for that reason it was decided to defer action until the next session. 1t is probable that the correct bill will be onc of the first on which Bristol's t.0 new representatives will request action. At present only a snall section of Iorestville is provided with sewerage facilities, All sewage empties into the Pequabuck river and unless other arrangements arc made within the next year or. two, it is probable that the state take action to have the use of such sewers discon. tinued. Maps of the proposed sew- er district, which will include all of Forestville and East Bristol, have been prepared by the city engineer and are now on file in the city clerk’s office.
