ANDY DALE HEARS ABOUT TOUGH TOWN “Broesy Bill” Finds “Hardest” Spot in Earth's Crust ((CONTRIBUTED) Dear Mary Ann: Last night I'm all set to enjoy my | cvening paper when the door oper and in walks Bill West who is relat- ed to me (although neither of us boast of the relationship.) “Breeay Rill,” some calls him, but T've nick- named him “Major Hoople” on ac- count of him being built like he'd wyer missed a meal and having a line of breezy patter that is mostly ipplesauce 2nd bologna, no matter how often it's served.

The children gather not only at the stations where the fast flyer makes regulas slops, but also along the right-of way in the country. They know anta Claus will be an the lookout for them, whether the train is standing or moving. From the rear platform he throws boxes filled with candy. fruits and nuts, and the children joyfully pick up the gifts. Barton himself provides tasty things for delighting the children’s hearts and palates.

The cffort of the hig burly line- men who have been hrought up on what their parents termed “good ! plain food™ to juggle a cup of tea |as gracefully as the well-behaved preparatory school boys was a fas- cinating spectacle. | The team arrives and is greeted by the hoys who are perfect gentlemen.

The squad of warriors who came out on the field were huskies. On the way |back the high school lads declared they would train on tea. Passalc Trip When the New Britain high schooi tecam made the trip to Passaic. N. J. to play the famous baskethall team which had not been defeated in over 100 starts, many of the fans follow- ed it. 1 The flivvers owned by -Coach George M. Cassidy were heroes of more than one high school trip and although the distance was great a group of team members used the car to take them fo Passale. It was a cold day In February. Despite the fact that one of the mothers offered them blankets to combat the cold wind they discarded the idea as real athletes are sup- posed to do. they thought. They got as far as Meriden and coat collars were turned up and from then on they jumped into every railroad sta- | tion to “soak in a little heat.” They were human iceburgs when |they finally rcached their destina- | tion, Then followed the usual trouble at the hotel. They disagreed about the rooms until finally two of them | 1ocked the foothall captain out of the | K Solve the Problem of What to Give and ' Where to Buy It Consult the Christmas Gift Guide in the Classified Section of The Herald Tonight! “Old Timers” Got Thrill Going: season the day was looked forward | This enthusiasm | The boys are still laughing at the | Lears of by the st roon wo hard line ashe! were used aud the door went crash- ing from its hinges. This was fol- lowed by a hurried attempt to repair the door which task was just finish- cd when a husky negro bell hep arked them the cause of all tho noise. They finally convinced him that there was no trouble and check- «d out the next day holding their Lreaths while they were in the room fearing the doar would crumple. The boys lay in log fashion in the rear of the car on the way home so that they would avoid the cold wind. Vermont Trip Some of the alumni have declared that the trip to Vermont was the greatest and most enjoyable of all. It was Conch Cassidy's home state and all the town folks were anxious to see “what kind of a team George was coaching.” According to C'oach Cassidy Poult- . his hone town was one of the st in Vermont. It is slightly than Newington in appear- . bt there of the towns- people live some distance from the town. I'rom fthe attitude of the boys upon their arrival it was quite ap- parent that they were going to cele- Inate before and after the game win or lose. It so happened that the teams finished in a ti Two of New Rrtiain's well known men about town decided to hitch- ke to the game. The scene of the contest was changed to Rutland be- cause of the condition of the Poult- field, but the boys did not know rived in Rutland just time but thought the gawme was in Poultney s0 they con- tinucd on to that town, 20 miles away. They had to wait about the town for the boys to return and tell them about the game. Bedlam turned loose that night All through the night the boys their bed clothes tied in knots. A pan of water was placed on top of a door and when anyone walked in the pan was upsct and the contents dropped upon the innocent victim. All through the ight the boys were up to some mischief. Wet pa- per towels were used in & war be- tween sclected groups. Just at a time when things were beginning to Lecome quict along came a hitch- Liker and a pal. Immediately he of- fered fresh cnergy to the fight and | the battle went on again. Members of the alumni body were the prin- cipal offenders in the mischief, Hundreds of stories could be told of the high school trips, some of them which involved the parents of some of the players who have been on the teams in recent years and | the incidents served to brighten up some of the dull moments spent in the classrooms the following Moun- day morning. BERLIN MAIN ROADS GREATLY INPROVED Menace of Winter Travel on ~Highways Now Absent For the first time in ears, the neighboring town of Berlin is pre- pared to handle winter traffic with its main highways in good condition. Year after year motorists were han- dicapped traveling through Berlin because of the state of the roadw and it was risky to drive a good machine through the town, Memo- ries of the old “washboard” road from New Rritain to Upson’s corner are still fresh in the minds of auto- mobile owners who were forced to use this strefch of road daily. In a period of two years, Rerlin's highways have changed from the poorest to among the best in the state. The construction of the new state highway from New Britain to Worthington ridge was the first step in the elimination of harrowing traveling conditions. StatesHighway Commissioner John A. MacDonald recently stated fhat this highway 1anks among the hest in the state. During an inspection of the road the state commissioner discovered it was a perfect piece of workmanship and that the curvea in the highway were perfectly balanced. During rainy scasons, different parts of this road were flooded by the swamps and small ponds. es- pecially in the locality of the Farm- ington avenue bridge. Every vear i was nece to detour around the muddy back roads hecause. the water often covered parts of the road from a foot to {wo feet deep. After the new bridge was construct- ed. it was decided 1o climinate the flood perils by widening the bed of the brook. Over 25 fect of was removed. giving the waters of the hrook plenty of spa Since that time, the hrook has not even approached the top of the bridge.
